KIW YORK. X.tY "Then I will not." cried the bride with dramatic intensity, and dashing from her the detaining hands of her startled attendants, she wheeled about with a quick turn and fairly ran from the church. iping into her carriage without a word explanation, she bade the coachman drive to her home. Dumfounded in the church stood groom and priest and people, speechless with amazement at the tragic turn affairs had taken. They waited, hoping against hope that it was simply a strange freak of the bride and that she would return.

But they waited in vain, for Miss Moore was gone to stay. She hud publicly spurned the man who in his youth had deserted her for another. She had her revenge. Unclaimed Letters. Letters remaining in the Wilkes Barrc post office uncalled for Sunday, November 20,, 1898: ix7 if .1.

(Scranton Truth, Saturday.) Alms Margaret Moore, who was about to De married to Timothy Foly in St, Catherine a Church. Moscow, vesterdav deserted the bridegroom at the altar and walked away. The little church at Moscow was filled with a great multitude of the relatives and-lriends of both Miss Moore and Mr, roley. An eager, anxious multitude gath ered from miles around to witness the ceremony, winch had been looked for ward to lor weeks by the entire commun lty. Presently the hour came for the event It was just 11 o'clock.

The crowd that had for an hour before come to the church were rewarded by a signt of the bride. beautifully attired and charmintr in her every stance and move.

met them at the altar, lie began the ser vice. Already the groom had made his solemn vow. "Will you, Margaret Moore, take limothy foley to be your lawful bus band?" asked the priest. There was a hesitation. Is it yet too late: asked bride-elect.

Not vet. said father Walsh Then I will not. said Miss Moore as she turned from the altar and facing the astonished multitude started tor the door. It was like a thunderbolt that struck the church. A murmur of excitement swent over the crowd.

For a moment priest and bridegroom stood us if invited with astonishment as tne bride elect-to-De walkeu onward blushing witn excitement as she passed down tne aisle. The crowd was so astoniahed that tnev remained in the church awaiting for the bride to return. Hut she never came back, 1 he groom is a widower and many years ago before he wooed the woman who deserted him yesterday. The return to his first love was not so successful as has aften been related. Miss Moore was engaged for many yean as housekeeper in the city i and has spent her time between this city and visits to the home ot her motner in Moscow.

Though both are past the fourth decade of their existence, each being aboi" 43 vears of age. the courtshn ot long ago was renewed with the supposed happy re mit that the wedding dav was decided up- on and the details ofthe nuptials fixed On Wednesday of this week the law's formalities were fulfilled by the prospec tive bride and groom obtaining a marriage license at the clerk ot the court omce. Thursday morning they presented them selves to Rev. R. II.

Walsh at St. Cather- Church. Moscow, to have the nup tials celebrated. Thev had not conformed with all the rules of the church, it is said, and it was necessary to secure an Episco pal dispensation. This was granted and on Thursday evening they returned to Moscow, but the event was put over until the next morning.

The motive that prompted the bride to so summarily end the nuptials has not been explained and the wonderment and peculation oi vae yeojim ui iu twiui grows apace. A snecial from Scranton to a Philadel phia paper says: After bitterly biding her time for fifteen long, dreary years. Margaret Moore yesterday deserted Timothy Foley, at the very toot ot the altar, ant woman scorned tasted sweet revenge on her former lover. Such is. briefly, the tragic story of a romance that comes from the little village of Moscow, nine miles south of this city.

A decade and a half am Margaret Moore was one of the belles of the vil lage and many a youth coveted her smiles but she was cold to all save one. Timothy Foley, a sturdy young fellow, successful- courted her. and the village a-oeahia said that he had won her and that there would be a pretty wedding some early day. The days and the months slipped by and Margaret Moore was looked upon i iuc iibucw oi iimoiuy roiey. But the trusting i maid was doomed tn disappointment, for one morning the startling news came that Timothy forgetful of his first love, had wedded another.

Unable to bear the humiliation of her position, Miss Moore left the scene of her life's romance and it tragic aeouel moved to Williamsport. Pa. 'illiamsport. ed by and The years slip IDC the Incident was xorgotten. nut one woman remembered it.

Timothy Foley prospered and enjoyed life while the girl he had dis-appointed nursed her wrath and waited. j- en Tne Mr- Foley ickened and died. Her bereaved husban4 wore his widower's weeds, as custom prescribed. He had doffed his mourning when Mar. garet Moore, who had never wed, returned to visit the scenes of her childhood, and as if by accident, met Timothy Foley, her one time lover.

He wooed her again, ana it was thought won her heart, xesteraay was set lor the wed din and all the village was in gala attire an hunt- mmg with the talk of the gossips who recalled the incidents of Timothy Foley's early courtship and first marriage. At 11 clock fet. Catherine's Catholic church was crowded with the friends of the bride and groom to be, when Margaret Moore came up the aisle, in her bridal robes, leaning on the arm of Miss Foley, her fiancee's sister. The bride was smiling and happy, seemingly, and the groom joked with his best man, for he was about to wed his first The bridal party gathered in front of the altar, facing the priest, Rev. Father R.
