.Two Young People Visit
Saugatuck to. Get
Married.
A LICENSE WAS» REFUSED.
Went to Port Chester, Where the. i‘luptial Knot
Was Tied. ’ I
A young couple visit-ed Saugatuck,
not many moons ago, for the purpose of
getting married. .The groom was about
19 and the girl, :1 schoolgirl, wearing
dresses that just reached to the tops of
The names of the couple
were Miss lda Brightman, of Bristol.
and Frederick Barrows, of Plainfield,
aged respectively fifteen and nineteen.
They went to the home of a relative
named Dobbins, where they were cor-
dially received. The young people had
been in love fora long time, but owing
to their ages, their parents thought it
unwise for them to marry, but of course
the young couple thought differently,
and thought Mr. and Mrs. Dobbins
would assist them in getting married.
Their story being told Mr. and Mrs
.Dobbins were willing to help them, and
at 9 o’clock justice of the peace George
B. Smith was ' called upon and re-
quested to perform the ceremony.
Here, however, they met a setback.
The justice wanted the marriage 11—
cense and the groom had failed to. se-
cure ene. _
The way to the reslde’nce of town
clerk Hyatt was explainedto the young
lover who at once proceeded to VVil-
liams’
started for Mr. Hyatts home.
Mr. Hyatt was fast asleep and it took
considerable pounding upon the side of
the house to wake him up, but they
and he dressed himself, got into the
wagon and proceeded to his.oflice in
The huge safe was unlock-
ed, and the necessary blanks gotten out.
The usual questions were asked to
which he answered cox rgectly Giving his
name as Frederick Bat rows aged twen-
ty-one. This was all satisfactory, but
Barrows, added only four years, which
made her nineteen, instead of 21.
“I cannot issue a license to a minor
without the written consent of the par-
ents” said Mr. Hyatt, “Have'you it?”
This was a poser. The young man
looked at Dobbins and the latter at the
young man. Mr. Hyatt then explained
the result of the issue of a license to
minors and the penalty thereto at-
tached.
This seemed almost too much for the
young man, but Mr. Dobbins told him
to brace up and it would come out all
righ.t
In the meantime the rest of what
were to be the bridal party were in the
front parlor of Mr. Howard Smith’s
house, waiting for the return of the
gentlemen and the license, which in
this case was as important as the groom
himself. '
Soon Dobbins and Barrows
- They did not have
made
their appearance.
the license.
They informed the justice of their
fruitless errand and he told them that
he could not marry them, withouta
license and the party left for the Dob-
bins home.‘ It was now nearly mid-
night and the weddmg must be post—
poned until the next day. Some other
spot must be selected where the law
did not care how old they were. New
York state was thought of and Po1t
Chester, that city just over the state
line, where so many Connecticut cOup-
les have been joined “for better or for
worse ’ was solected.
Bright and early the next morning
Mr. Barrows and Miss Brightman
started out for .Portchester. They
found little difficulty in getting mar-
ried and returned on the next train for
Saugatuck, where they spent several
days with Mr. and Mrs. Dobbins, then
went back to their home where they
wc1 e readily forgiven.
According to last account they were
keeping house and receiving the
congratulations of their many friends.

smoke.
He managed to open a window and
after regaining his power of speech,
hollered “ fire 1” and lost no time in
getting out of the building.
The fire department was promptly at
the scdne and in a. short time had the
tire thoroughly sq uelched.
The fire was found to have originated
in a closet under the back bar of the
saloon and had followed the “pine
wainscotting of the building which is
of brick. the smoke from which burn-
ing wainscotting had awakened \Kelly.

THE‘ PRESIDENT’S OUTING. .
{pecker Reed -CaLls, but Nothing
Eventful Occurs.
BRUNSWICK, Ga., March 22. —Presi<
dent McKinley enjoyed a. full day of
quiet and rest in the retirement and fine
diives of Jekyl island, and night fell
without any conference with Speaker
Reed or any difference in the relations
between the two Republican leaders as
I. result of their simultaneous presence
on the island.
, The weather for a. day’s outing could
not have been finer. Tho temperature
was more moderate, a. delightful brac-
ing breeze came in from the sea, and
the sun shone warm, but not oppres- _
sively. .
The only thing approaching a junc-
tion was an informal sort of reception
in the Baker cottage about 1 o’clock,
at which all the island colony were pre-
sented to the president and Mrs. Mc-
Kinley. These included Speaker Reed.
who called rather late and spent a few
minutes, shaking hands with the pres-
ident and chatting with him and the
others present.
Senator Hanna is endeavoring to in—
duce Mr. McKinley to take a trip to
Tallahassee, and Mr. McKinley may
acquiesce, though no definite decision
