Married In a Hurry at New Castle
[ SCOTT - COUSINS ]
A dispatch from New Castle, Pa., dated June 30, says that when John H. SCOTT, aged 28, of Canonsburg, and Miss Almeda E. COUSINS, aged 23, of McDonald, entered the court house for a marriage license, they were in a hurry; both were anxious to have the ordeal terminated at the earliest possible minute. Their license was secured in record-breaking time.
They waltzed out into the breezy corridor with the precious document and gazed around. "Ah," ejaculated the bridegroom to be, "that office looks good to me," pointing towards the headquarters of the county commissioners.
"I'll say so," assented the bride-to-be; and in they went.
"We're strangers in the city and want to get married. Here's our license," explained SCOTT to County Commissioner
McFARLAND.
"Well, we don't make a business of matrimony here," said Mr. McFARLAND, "but if you are in a hurry we'll see what we can do; sit down till I call a minister."
Five minutes and the Rev. S. C. GAMBLE of the Second United Presbytarian
[sic] Church was on the scene. The principals took the center of the floor and surrounded by all the court house attaches who were "wise" were quickly united in the holy bonds of wedlock. They entered the commissioners' office at five minutes to 5 o'clock and departed in double harness at exactly five minutes past.
"My!" exclaimed Mrs. SCOTT, "aren't they nice people here, John?"
