To-day's Short Story. 1 SWAPPING BRIDES AT THE ALTAR. Did you ever witness a double wedding in which there was an exchange of brides and grooms at the altar?" asked John. Moran, a well-known Walnut-street bartender. "NO. sir; I never did," replied the scribe. "Well, I can tell you of an event of that description. It happened in this way: One afternoon, not long ago, two youing men whom I had known in Streator, Illinois, oame to me and informed me that they had induced two sisters to elope with them from a town in Central Kamaae, and that it was necessary that the nuptial knot be tied without delay. They were, they said, expect- inr; the irate father and the grown-up mus- cular brothers of the girls to arrive in. the city on the next train with blood in their eyes.' As the boys were old sohookniates of mine, of course, I told them that they had but to command me, and I was at their ser- vice. I assured them that I would that they were speedily and Lawfully united to their lady-loves, if, in order to do so, I had to wade through gore knee-deep. We hired a carriage and drove to the hotel, where the young ladies were awadting the return of their to-be husbands, whose names are Wil- liam and Charles W-. It was then nearly five o'olook p.m. As goon as we could get the girls into the car- riages we hurried to Recorder Hinde's office, where William and Charley presented them- selves before the marriage licence clerk and requested that they would be gived the documents necessary to entitle them to wed their affianced. As I remarked before, the girls axe sisters. Their given, or Christian names are Lillie and Lidie. The young ladies modestly remained in the background until called upon to make the necessary affidavits that they were each eighteen years of age. After obtaining th-e licence the young men and their ladies and myself went to the residence of a preacher, whose name I have forgotten. His church is on the east side of the city. Handing him the licences, William and Charles requested him to join their loving hearts in the bonds of matri- mony at once. Now, lillie was the intended of William, and Lidie the intended of Charles. Don't forget that. You can better imagine the consternation of the members of the wedding party than I can describe when the discovery was made that the young man who had issued the licences had assigned IAllie to Charles and Lidie to William as life partners In their haste to put their necks into the hymeneal halter the young men had thrust the licences into their pockets when they were handed to them by the liccnce clerk without inspecting them to see if they were rightly made out. They did not discover tihat a mistake had been made until after they had joined hands, and the parson began the double ceremony by say- ing Do you, William take Lidie for your lawful, wedded wife?' "'Stop!' exclaimed William; 'I am marry- ing Lillie. not Lidie.' No, sir,' retorted the parson, 'you are not. You are licensed to wed Lidie Beg pardon, eir,' ejaculated William, Let me see the document.' "The licence was shown him, and there, sure enougih, was Lidie's name coupled with his own. The proceedings were immediately sus- pended, the parson informing the young man and the ladies that he could not marry them until thetr licences were in proper form. Lillie and Lidie began weeping, and nearly went into hysterics. William and Charles and I assured them that we would have the mistake in the licences rectified. Leaving the young ladies in the parson's parlour, we rushed out of the house and jumped into our carriage, in which we were driven at a rapid Palee to the Ooarthouse at Second and Main (streets. Great was our disappointment and vexation When we found the recorder's office closed for the night. We then went to Recorder Hinde's house, but he was not at home, and was out of the city. Knowing nothing else to do, we returned to the parson's residence. The unexpected turn in their matrimonial affair caused William and Charles to look dejected and forlorn. They sorrowfully told the young ladies that they had failed to obtain new licences, They urged the jonscm to marry them, and told him they would have the neoefeary altera- tions made in the documents the next day. But tie parson firmly refused. "He pointed out to them the fact that the recorder was bound by his records, and that they must show that the marriages took place in accordance with the licences. They confessed to the parson that they had run away from a town in the interior of Kansas, and it would ne-ftr do for them to remain war-night in the city without being married. By this time the young ladies had oeaaed weeping. Retiring to a corner of the room they held a whispered consultation, at the end of which Lillie called William to her and informed him that she and Lidie had decided that they would not leave the house except as the wives of himself and Charles, But ttt-e preach-er won't marry us.' Yes, he will,' retorted LU? and you and Charley have got-to agree to it: J Wilham said he didn't oa?oh on whereupon Lillie nearly took his brea.th away by informing him that she and Lidie had agreed to let the lioences stand as they were, and get married according to them. If you and Charlie won't do that, we will take the first train and return home," she said, 'and never marry either of you., It was then William and Charles's turn to consult. After talking the matter over for ten minutes they arrived at the decision that, M a mistake in the licences had been made, which could not be corrected in time to enable them to have the double wedding come off as intended, and as the girls had oecided to swap' one for the other, they ^*5^^ Make the be?t of a bad matter and go ahead with the ceremony. If they couldn't get the life partners selected, they would Not remain wifeless."

THREW THE CONSTABLE. James Oarnio (33), was charged at Cardiff to-day with assaulting Board of Trade Con- stable John Kelleher whilst in the executiofl. of his duty in Bute-place on A-PXil 18. Kel- leher, in pursuance of instructions, requested prisoner to leave the Board of Trade pre- mises. He refused. The constable put his hand on his shoulder to persuade him to leave peacefully, but Carnie actively resisted, and closed with Kelleher and threw him. Accused re-entered the offices, and again ordered off he struck prosecutor between the eyes. Prisoner's defence was that Kelleher shoved him first and threw him, and he contended there was no necessity for force. Prisoner was handed over to Police-con- stable Arthur Moes, and the latter, with the assistance of Detective-sergeant Harris, conducted him, struggling all the way, to Bute-street Police-station. Drink was said to be the explanation of his violence.. He was fined 2Gs. and costs or fourteen days.

Mr. John Jones & R.R.1
Mr. John Jones & R.R.1 ROSE FROM PLATELAYER TO TRAFFICI MANAGER. PresentlyTakes a Well-EarnedRest I To asoend from the very bottom rung of a railway oompamyla prarruatdon ladder is always a feat haord to accomplish, because rivals are both numerous and keen, but in th'3 coming month Mr. Joihin Jones, traffio manager of the Ehymnesy Bjailway, retires with the proud diistinotion of being probably the only platelayer who has ever risen to be the traffic guide of a railway company. J-ust 46 years ago Mr. Jones was a mere platelayer on the Rhymn.ey-one of the usual gaiIlg-but in. two year-a he singled himself out for promotion into the traffic department. This waa in 1863, and the grand old man of the line never looked back. First he became a brakesman, and the manager—Mr. W. Page, of the Page millions fame--qui,ekly saw the calibre of the man under him, with the result that he gave his subordinate a ohance to improve the ser- vice as inspector adter a brief service as guard. At that time the railway only I covered from Bhymney to Walnut Tree, and the takings were about £7.00 weekly, with a passenger service of three trains a day between Rhymney and Cardiff. How the line has progressed since is too well known to need relating, but in quiet fashion the pivot responsible for the im- provement now retires on what we hope will be a pension long enjoyed.
IASSAULT RATES LOW TO-DAY…
ASSAULT RATES LOW TO-DAY James Hylaaid, 41, was charged at Cardiff to-day with violently assaulting and wound- dng Mary Minslhuill by kicking her in the face, with intent to do her grievous bodily harm, in Bute-Toad, on April 18. I struck her with my fist," was prisoner's I admission at the opening of the case. The woman said she lived in Loudoun-lane, and had cohabited with prisoner for four years. On Thursday morning she was walk- ing with her sister in Bute-road, when prisoner came up and pushed her, and while she was on her knees she received a blow, but how it was infideted, whether by his fist or foot, she could not say. Tthe wife's sister, in her evidence, said she saw prisoner raise his foot. He was given into custody, and made the same statement to Police-constable Simimomds-that it was a blow and not a kick, and the blow was harder than he intended, having lost his t-ompei beceuuse Minsholl called him names. All the parties had been drinking. Dr. J. J. Buist (police surgeon) said there was a lacerated wound on the right side of the upper lip three-quarters of an inch long and extending nearly through the lip. The doctor's view was that the injury was caused by a kick, or, perha/ps, by a fall. Fined 20B. and oaets, or fourteen daya.

T, The Season's Ailments. Spring days are try- ing days. The changee ] of season becomes a burden to all men and women whose blood is thin and weak. A strange weakness in the limbs, afeeling of weari- ness and melancholy, attacks of neuralgia and headaches, with feeble appetite and acute indigestion these are common troubles of springtime.

They both hap- pened to be in Sydney (Australia) Harbour last J.a,niua.ry, preparing for a. journey homa to Engrliand, and one of the captains chal- letagred the other to a raoe to Cornwall. The vessels were both fully laden with wheat, and an added interest was given to the race by the fact that the Port Jaokacn. carries thirty cadets in traiining for the British Mercantile Marine, whila the Yimeira has amo-ng its crew of thirty six boys from a Sydney training ship. The rival hartjues were towed out of Sydney Rarbour on January 10, and weighed anchor t-og eft her. The Vimeira, soon went ahead, and by nightfall IcFt eight of the Port Jackson, The Vimeira easily maintained its lead, and arrived at Falmouth yesterday a winner. It had accomplished the voyage in 97 days. The skippar, Captain Stewart, a Scotchman, in an interview, said there waa little incident on the voyage. Gales were experienced from Snares to the Horn, and his reootrd day's passage was 270 miles. Although Captain Stewart won the raoe, a chastening surprise was in store for him, for the barque Australia, which did not take part in. the race, had dropped anchor in Pailmout.h Harbour on Wednesday, having established a record by voyaging from Sydney to the Cornish port in 88 days, thus beating the Vimoira's time by nine days. Captain Hughes, of the Australia, knew of tihe arrangements for the race, but woo unable to challenge, as his vessel did not I leave Sydney tiU eight days after the start. Nevertheless, he arrived a.t Falmouth a day before the Vimeira. Captain Hughes said he got within 150 miles of Falmouth on the eighty-fourth day. Then he encountered oOtnitra.ry winds and bad weather, and but for this would have complet-ed the passage in 85 dayi. On three successive days he had runs of 300 miles per day. The Port Jackson had not been reported last night.
