      MARRIAGE CEREMONY PERFORMED IN CARRIAGES.

      Fulton, Ky., June 22. -- Miss Ellen Workman, daughter of Jeff Workman, a distinguished Confederate veteran, was married here to Jesse Johnson, a prominent young tobacco man. The couple was married in a closed carriage, which had been driven furiously to escape from a pursuing party of friends. The Rev. Hamp McLeskey of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church said the ceremony.
