Late Saturday Evening Marriage.

Rev. Geo. H. Clarke of the Christian church performed a marriage ceremony at his resldenc e at 10 o’clock Saturday night The parties were Mr. William Foster and Miss Jennie Gard. Mr. Foster is a blacksmith in the employ of H. F. King, and he had arranged with both the clerk and the minister, so that the license could be procured and the marriage performed after the arrival of the bride on the 6:32 train. The train was about an hour late, however, and the clerk had concluded that the couple would not apply for the license and had closed the office. Later, however, they found his deputy, Miss Hazel Warner, and the license was procured, but it it was 10 o’clock before they reached the minister’s residence. Mr. Foster has been working in Rensselaer for several months, having come here from Delphi. The bride is a milliner at Rossville, and was accompanied here by her sister, Miss Madeline. Mr. and Mrs. Foster left on the 2:01 train Sunday for Rossville, and Mr. Foster returned here Monday. He expects to make Rensselaer their home, but she will continue in the millinery business at Rossville until next spring.
