Strange Wedding Ceremony

Her love undiminished by the fact that her betrothed is now legless, Anna Reilly, a pretty brunette, wheeled Robert Meyers into the office of Alderman McInerney, at Pittsburgh, a few days ago and blushingly whispered: "Alderman, we want to get married."

Calling into his office some workmen from the street, the alderman went through the ceremony with the clay-covered workmen as witnesses and attendants. Then the girl wheeled her husband back to their little home.

Meyers was a railroad brakeman and lost both legs in an accident last February. He had known his wife for two years, but there were not engaged until after the accident.
