England and America This is the result
of years of laborious search among the
voluminous writings of thirty-eight lead¬

GRAWFO^DVILLE, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 25th, 1884.
MARRIED ON HIS DEATH BED.
Robert Cooper's Compact of Hope Car¬
ried Out Juat Be tore He Hied.
New York Herald.
A death bed marriage took place at
East New York on Friday night, which
has been widely commented upon in
that village and caused many expres¬
sions of regret and sympathy from
tfiose who knew of the peculiarly sad
conditions surrounding the event.
The bridegroom was Rebert Cooper,
business manager of tne East New
York Sentinel, a young gentleman of
intelligence and promise. His father is
the owner aud editor of the paper.
Young Mr. Cooper has never been phy¬
sically strong, and for years had cour¬
ageously fought a disease which was
making a steady inroad upon a weak
constitution. Some time ago young
Coober met Miss Catherine Kaman, of
East New York, ans became engaged
to her. Mi3s Kaman was wealtbly,
personally attractive and a leader in
Fast New York society and her affec¬
tion for Cooper was wry strong. week
Cooper caught a severe cold last
and pneumonia was devoted. The dis¬
ease could not be arrested, and Cooper
was among the first to regognise that
his hours on eath were numbered. At
this juncture Miss Kaman was sent for
by the sick man, and he asked her to
marrv him, The youug lady acceded
to his wish without hesitation, and the
Rev. Daniel Van Pelt was summoned
to the bedside of tbe dying man. Mr.
Van Pelt is pastor of the East New
York Reformed Church, of which Mr.
Cooper is amember. The marriage
took place without delay, a number of
the members of Doth families being
present at the impoessive service. Fol¬
lowing the cerrimony Cooper seemed to
become suddenly better, and there were
some of his relatives who, hoping
against hope, said that he might recov¬
er. It was not to be, however, as the
excitement had given him false
strenght, which only left him much
weaker than before -
A few hours after the marri»ge it
became evident that nothing more
could be done to prolong his life, and by
during tbe same night, Cooper sui died. rounded

“Here is a marriage certificate that
was left here as evidence in a trial,’’
said Justice Gieseler, yesterday taking
down a roll of parchment from a dusty
shelf, “and although the case was de¬
cided several months ago, the certifi¬
cate has never beeu called for.”
The case ip which the marriage cer¬
tificate tigueed as evidence was a claim
for debt, the defendant’s employer be¬
ing garnished for the amount, The
defendant, who was said to be a chronic
toper and daad-be tt. surprised the jus¬
tice and everybody connected with the
case by alledging that he was a mar¬
ried man,and as such was exempt from
garnishment. His statement was not
believed, but he proved his assersion by
bringing into ccnrt a handsjtne young
woman, who acknowledged herself his
wife. This was another surprise, and
as the young woman, who was elegantly back¬
dressed, appeared to be rather
ward in giving her testimony, it was
not until the wedding certificate, duly
singed by a justice of the peace, was
produced that the story was believed,
aud the money, which bad already been
garnisheed, was released by order of the
court. Since that day, couple however,
neither of the ill-assotted has
returned to reclaim the money or
the marriage certificate.
The story of this marriage is posses
sed of romantic feature. well-to-do jSeveral years
ago the wife of a young
butcher; whose place of busiuess is iu
the citv, became insane, and was com¬
mitted’to the asylum, where she has
since remained. About two years ago
the butcher engaged a comely young
woman to take care of his household.
Before many moons had waned the
young man and his handsome house¬
keeper were infatuated with each
other; in fact, as the story goes, they
“loved not wisely, but too well,” and
after a lapse of time the demure young
housekeep was confronted with the
prospek of soon becoming » mothei,
Vliis was a perplexing situation. The
young man’s socials and buriness posi
tion would have been injured by the
discovery of his true relations with the
g.rl, and her friends, who, it is said, are
well-to-do country people, would not
have hesitated to punish her seducer.
A happy idea dawned on the anxious
young butcher, and. as it is alleged, lie
canned it into effect- He was ac
buaiuted with an idle, dissipased fellow,
w ho would do anthtngfor whiskey, and
on receiving enough money and whis
ky this unpromis ing person consented
to become the husband of the pretty
housekeeper, aed
her unboru babe. The ceremony was

a married man, and suminoued his wi e
from her loyer’s side to testify in his
behalf. In the trial the young woman
testified that she had never lived with
husband, nor had he ever contributed
towards her support After the trial
the young woman went back to her du

still holds, and her husband left the
city.

the dusty sheif, and the money that
