THIS FAKE MARRIAGE A GREAT JOKE, YES ? Tale of an Unhappily Conceived Jest AVhieh Looked Different In 1'riut. The mariage of Miss Daisy Darlington to Walter Gernetz was announced in The Times a couple of days ago. The fact that the young people are not married was made known when Miss Darlington visited the office of Thb Times and with considerable apparent mortification, denied the announcement. It appears it was all a "joke" on the part of the young woman's friends. Being one of those "jokes" that need a diagram in order to discover the point, an explanation of how it all happened is in order. Miss Darlington and young Walter it is discovered, have been "keeping company" for some time, and so have Mis May Ritchie and Frank Fogelflng. Walter and the other young man appear to be the village cut-ups and the two couples travel together. The cut-ups conceived the brilliant idea of printing the announcement of Miss Darlington's and Walter's marriage. The fact that the joke was such a bewhtskered witticism that its humor was lost sight of some few decades ago, if it ever possessed that virtue, was apparently lost upon Miss May Ritchie. The latter, by the way, is Dr. Bell's office assistant. When the village cut-ups proposed to her that she act as the means of tendering the bit of "news" to the Hammond papers. Miss Ritchie fell for it and consented to be the fall guy for the two gallants. The result was an embarrassing situation for the "victim" of the joke, according to her story. Miss Ritchie, however, maintains that Miss Darlington was as much to blame as anybody, having been a willing party to the deal which was planned In her presence and executed with her consent. HOWATT SUCCEEDS HIMSELF. At a meeting of the common council last night to elect a school trustee. Dr. W. F. Howatt was relected to fill the

Hill Christie Will be Valuable Addition to Local Baseball Force. Owing to losing two of its players, the management of the Hammond baseball association have secured Christie of South Chicago to hold down first base for Hammond. 'Biil" as he is known, comes well recommended as a gentlemanly fellow and a ball player. Mr. Christie is also a catcher, ha'ing been seen in action here with the Senecas. A new third baseman will also take MeMahon's place at third as McMahon, if he can duplicate last Sunday's work In the box, will be retained as pitcher for the team. Billy Jones at second, will captain the team and if he lives up to the reputation of his namesake with the White Sox, we may expect some real baseball. June 9, Chicago Heights will be the north side attraction. The Joe Long Colts vs. the Duffy's will be the curtain raiser at 1 o'clock sharp and should be a corker. On July 4. the Mutuals of Chicago will meet the Hammonda.

HAHHOND BATCHES HIDE WHITING In a Raid on the City J. P. Beardsley and James Spainer Win Wives. That the citizens of Hammond are determined to amalgamate with Whiting is shown by the fact that two Hammond young men went over to the oil city this morning and married two of the Whiting young ladies. The young men who dared enter the confines of a rival neighboring city and carry off two of the its fairest maidens, were J. P. Beardsley of the South Shore Gas and Electric company, and James Spanier, formerly employed at Hegewisch, but a resident of this city. J. I'. Beardsley was married to Fairy Gondon, the daughter of the recently elected member of the Whiting school board. They were married at the home of the bride's parents on One Hundred and Nineteenth street this morning by Rev. M C. Wright. James Spanier was married to Miss Tillie Mahlitz at her home on Fred street the same divine officiating. The news of these weddings will come as quite a surprise to the friends of both of these young men. The post nuptial plans of the contracting parties have not yet been announced. REDUCED DATES 10 CIHI1IIT C, C. & L. Cuts Price From $6.25 to $5; Rate War Threatened. The Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville railroad, which was recently completed through to Chicago from Griffith, has started putting a crimp in its competitors by anouncing that after July 1 the road will sell tickets from Chicago to Cincinnati for $5, which is a cut of $1.25, the rate formerly being $6.25. Frank L. Fox, general claim agent of the new road is In Hammond this week on business for the company and is very enthusiastic over the new road's prospects. When asked when the new depot would be established here, he said he could not say just what time, but from what lie had learned it was contemplated in the near future. It looks like there may be a railroad war started between the Monon, C. H. & D, Big Four and Pennsylvania against the C. C. & L. for cutting the rates as these roads say they will not allow the new $o rate to pass them unchallenged. Since establishing a depot in Hammond the new road has pulled away no little business from the older lines. EX-SOLDIERS ELECT OFFICERS.

POSTPONE PLAN FOR NEW STATION

Western Indiana Directors Meet and Decide to Build Mammoth Depot. At the annual meeting-of the stockholders of the Western Indiana, held in Chicago yesterday, it was decided to not construct the new suburban station, which had been planned, because the directors elected were unanimously of the opinion that a new, mammoth general station would have to be erected before long. This does not mean that the directors decided to build a new terminal in Chicago and It may be several years before such an improvement is begun. It was generally conceded, however, that a3 soon as the money market gets easier the plans for a new station, to cost not less than $20,000,000 and possibly more, would be perfected. The directors who were elected at the meeting and who were unanimously in favor of dropping the plans for a suburban station were: W. H. Lyford. New York, representing the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Road; F. A. Delano, of Chicago, president of the Wabash road; C. M. Hays of Montreal, vice president and general manager of the Grand Trunk; W. O. Johnson of Chicago, general counsel for the Erie; W. II. McDoel, president of the Monon, and E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe. All of the roads mentioned, with the exception of the Santa Fe, are equal owners of the Chicago and Western Indiana, which in turn owns the Chicago Belt Railway. Directors Elect Officers. The directors as soon as they were elected chose the following officers of the company: President and general manager B. Thomas. Vice president and general solicitor W. J. Henley. Secretary and auditor M. J. Clark. Treasurer John E. Murphy. An official of the company who asked that his name not be used had this to pay regarding the action taken at the meeting: "The Western Indiana had planned to use the building' and property at Polk street and Plymouth place for a new suburban station. All of the property had been purchased for that improvement. "The project was abandoned because it was felt that we could better get along with present facilities than to epend between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 lor a makeshift suburban station, which would have to be torn down In a few years, at the most, to make way for a new and modern passenger ter minal." When the company gets ready to make the improvement it will not re quire any action or the directors or stockholders so far as preparing for financing the deal is concerned, Five years ago tne directors authorized a bond issue of $50,000,000, "with a view of preparing for the needs of the company for all time to come. Only about $20,000,000 of those bonds have been Issued. BLQGKSQN PINCHED; TRIES TO ESCAPE Jilted Lover Regrets Noth ing This Morning But Loss of His Teeth. Thomas Blockson, the man who came from LaPorte yesterday and who in cidentally became entangled in an ar gument with Mrs. DuBridge-AndrewB In which he lost two of his front teeth, is again being cared for at the local police station. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Andrews appeared before Judge Mahon and made out a complaint charging him with pro voking an assault. He was brought up for trial and fined $1 and costs, amount ing to $11. Not having the money to pay his fine he sent a telegram to friends at LaPorte asking for the amount. u hile at the police station he was not locked up, but was allowed the freedom of the office. Seeing what he thought was a chance to escape he jumped through a side window and secured quite a lead before the officers could get started. Captain Austgen saw the move on Blockson's part and mounting a sta tion bicycle, captured Blockson as he was going up Morton court. He was brought back to the station where he was locked up Later Blockson received his money from LaPorte and paid his fine, Blockson says this morning that h one wish now is that he could recover the teeth which he lost In the fracas yesterday. MULVEY HOME A HOSPITAL. Frank Mulvey of 82 Plummer avenue seems to be having a great deal more than his share of trouble lately on ac count of sickness in the family- Mrs Mulvey is now seriously ill with rheu matism, which has been troubling her for a period of two months. Master Lawrence Mulvey was brought home today after a very serious operation for appendicitis which proved quite successful. He is doing nicely, how ever, and it is hoped will soon be able to get out of doois. Jerusalem's Via Dolorosa. It is only 400 years since the name of Via Dolorosa was given to the nar row lane down which Christ passed from the Judgment hall of Pilate to Calvarv.

Lake Shore Road Haa Doubled the Number of Train Stopping at Steel Station; Xw Tw Stops Each Way. The officials of the Lake Shore road seem to be in an unusually good humor lately, the latest evidence being the installation of a new and much improved suburban service between the city and the works of the Standard Steel Oar company. Beginning tomorrow, two trains will be run each way so that employes beginning and completing work at different hours of the day may be accommodated, without having to walk the two miles to town. No. 200 due here at 6:21 will stop hereafter at the steel plant to accommodate those who begin work at seven. It Is understood that a new station will be built soon to take the place of the platform now used and will be called Standard. No definite information has been re ceived so far, but it is thought the traffic will soon necessitate that action. The trains now leaving here for the Standard Steel Car works are as fol lows: Going east, leave Hammond at 6:21 nd 7:06. Going west, leave Standard at 4:43 nd 5:20. 'ARKER-COONS CASE POSTPONED The Alienation of Affections Case Will Not be Heard so Soon as Expected. The case of Charles Coons of Ham mond, who is suing William Parker, local contractor, for $10,000 alleging that he alienated his wife's affections. will not come up today in the Porter county circuit court as was expected on account of other cases that naa precedence on the docket before the Parker-Coons case. Attorney Bruce, who represents the plaintiff said today that he thought the calendar could be cleaned up so that the case could come up tomorrow but possibly it might not get on for trial then. W. J. Whinery, attorney for the de fendant still maintains that It is slmpy a plot to blackmail his client. Coons formerly was employed by Parker as foreman In his contracting business and Coons alleges that while he was at work Parker would go to the house with his wife and in that way won the latter's affections away from him. He is suing for $10,000. DAFFNEY RECOVERS 100 SPEEDILY After Posing as Victim of all Ills Beggar's Sprightliness Causes Undoing. John Daffey, a ranking officer in the army of street fakirs, blew Into Ham mond yesterday and began operations in the principal street of the city. He arrived here penniless after having In dulged in a series of sprees which soon deprived him of all the filthy lucre previously earned in his crooked operations. At best he was a sorry look ing sight and in addition to his carefully studied poses representing pain, sickness, hunger and privation, he cer tainly presented a money making sight. His apparently woeful condition quick ly appealed to the humane element in the citizens of Hammond who chanced to be nudged by the Ims-seeking hand of the innocent and afflicted. They responded most generously it seems and the stream of nickels, dimes and pennies flowed in at an increasing rate whenever the beggar saw fit to change his place of business. The manner in which he became af flicted with various injuries, while walking from one block to another, the sudden loss of his sense of sight, speech and hearing was most marvel ous to those who, took particular inter est in his career. borne declare the sight of numerous beer signs, or too prolonged a glance at the inside of a well Btocked bakery was the cause of his awful misery. His sudden recovery, however, after a day's labor proved to be the cause of his undoing. rot being able to prove him to be connected with the operations of a quack doctor as a warning advertise meat, the police considered It necessary to take the man in tow and kindly give him what assistance they could in the recovery of his voice. After re lieving him of several yards of band ages, court plaster and other medical equipment for use in case of an ernerg ency call, he was brought before Judge McMahon, who lost no time in imposing a fine which will send him to the house of correction at Crown Point where an immediate recovery is looked for. TIRED OF "BUMMING." The police picked up a young lad last night, who, when taken to the sta tion, admitted that he had run away from his home on Monday and in com pany with two other youngsters had gone to St. Joe, Mich., where they spent a day. The boy gave his name as Leroy Fisher. He said he was tired of "bumming" and had started for his home. After being warned to keep on going to South Bend the police allowed Fisher to depart.

"Tills is a medieval salt cellar," said the antiquary. "It is huge, it is shaped like a castle, it 13 solid silver and the pi ice but what is the use telling the price to you? Very magnificent, eh? In the middle age, you know, the 6alt cellar was the principal table ornament. Guests sat above or below the salt as they were prominent or the reverse. Where do you think you'd have sat, eh? Queer table manner they had in those days. The fastidious had individual knives, forks and spoons, but the common people ate with their fingers. You helped yourself from the general dish with your own spoon if you had one, but if you were very; very fastidious yo licked the spoon clean first. The food was queer rich, rank food swans, herons, porpoises, garlic, verjuice, saffron. There was mead and wine in floods and ushers stood about whose duty it was to lead to convenient couche3 such guests a3 had dined too well.
