Charlie Moore, of Springfield, Ky.. a well dressed young man of considernble means, arrived in this city on last Sun- day morning, says the Louisville Com- ‘il at an early hour, having made Carvangements to be a prin- cipal in_a wedding which Y to hive taken place on Sunday afternoon. In the front room of an up-town con- fectionery store on Sunday afternoon the front blinds were closed and day- light was shut out, the gas was lighted and everything about the apartment put in order for a wedding cercmony, which was announced. The bride, Miss Sallie Green, was in readiness, and her frignds who had been invited to witness the nuptials were on hand. They waited and waited, and it was late in the cvening when the company dis- ' and homes! This is our. all-the-yenr-round prayer. , persed—the groom failed to ap- pear. Where he w or what was the matter was a prob- lem noone could solve. The would- Le bride. sick with disappointment and completely broken down over the fail- ure of her lover to putin an appear- ance, was forced to take to her bed. On coming to the city from his home Moore, in some way. lost some papers from his overcoat pocket, among them the address of the young lady he was to marry. Arriving in the city he looked for the missing paper, but to no pur- pose; no one knew or had ever heard tell of the woman or her place of dence. In despair he was about to give up the search when he ran across an old friend, and the two with renewed cour age set out to find the place. Procur- ing n carviage they started, and about 10 o’clock the couple united and a satisfactory explanation made. Mr. and Mrs. Moore left for Springfield after the mu Ze ceremony Was per- formed.

Sometima ago the enterprising man- ager of a la clothing house in New- ark avenue, directly opposite the city hall in Jersey City, struck a happy thought and proceeded at once to ad- vertise it. His store has two hand- some show windows with great French Jlate glass fronts and o broad area be- hind them for a display. It oceurred to him that that would be the place for a public wedding, and he gave it out in all quarters that he would present to groom who would consent to wed his bride 'in one of the windows a hand- some suit to be married in,and to the groom and bride after the wedding, a handsome suit of parlor furniture. He received eleven applications from per- sons anxious to avail themselves of the offer. Two were from Patterson, one from Newark and others were from more distant points But Manager Metzler was not entirely satisfied with any of them. Last Mon- day a handsome young fellow called at the store to make inquiries. Mr. Met: ler desived a Jersoyman, The stranger 1id he was not a Jerseyite himself, but that his proposed other and better half was. He gave his name and addvess as Jumes Henry Wallace, Oxford- street, Brooklyn. The bride whom he propos to wed was Ida Belle Johnson, of Ilu ensack. Mr. Metzler made inquiries concerning them, and gave them notice that he would accept them, and that the wedding would be performed at 11 o'clock Thanksgiving morning. No marriage that has occurred in Jer- sey City in years has attracted such a oncourse of people. The streets were crowded with a struggling mass of hum- anity. The windows of all the stores commanding a view of the window were alive with people, and the steps of the city hall served as places of view. Ropes we rung across to keep the throng back, and the police we alled out to ve order. At 11 o'clock a coach up to the store front,and the bride, :ssed in - white moire, was handed into the store ty Detective John Clos.
