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 bis relatives, Mr. Two Beauties.

The following insance of the cunning of a hare, to rid itself of dogs when botly pursued, is given by the lone, Cal., Echo: “Three valuable dogs —a bird dog, grey hound and Shephard dog—beloning at thff ranch of James Martin, met death in a singular Accompanied man ner last week.

Milwaukee Sentinel. “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 SSSS palpable luebnetj of tbs «PO« l the jjroofn, After the weuuiiijf tlic hits* band, having perferm his part of the bargain, returned to his former haunts, and enjoyed a glorious spree upon the money he had tous earned, while tha bride returned to the home of her lover, from which the gaunt finger of scandar h «i heeu averted by ti.u brief cere tuotiy smoothly enough Mutters ran along debt until the husband was sued tor a and a stun of money tlitt lie had earned was garnished. Then, for the first sime, he revealed the fact that he 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 ties as housekeeper, which position she still holds, and her husband left the city. The marriage certificate still lies on the dusty sheif, and the money that w;ls ordered back to the detaiidant, a ft„r being ke|R several weeks by the jgstices, was levied upon by the lawyer for his fees. It is now alleged that even the neglected marriage certificate is powerless to avert the brand of illegiti macy from the young housekeeper’s offsprings as it is said that her worth i„ 83- hut convenient husband, has a w jf e and fam’ly living in the old coun try, hence the latter marriage is ille g a j. —-—•— - A Train Delayed by Antelope _ A west bound train between Green river and Granger, on the Union Paci fic Road, recently encountered a flock of about 1,500 antelops. The snow was quite deep and drifted in placn, and the antelopes were running on the road bed, finding that the best road to travel on. When they vere flrst manytof them were killed, and the eer, seeing at once that the train might up? be derailed unless it were slowed decreased the speed. Themitelopes kept a short distance ahead of the engine and were strung along the road for a quarter of a mile. They would occasionally get some distance from the engine and then they would stop, turn around and watch the train until it was fairly on them. The train was delayed nearly an hour. -• An At lanta wholesale merchant comeg the front and exclaims : “I afn near sixty vears of age, am a mer chant of this city, and claim congjder able experience, for many years my kidneys have given me great trouble. attended with much pain My »Pl* tite failed and general health declined.
