REMAEKAfe SCENES. AN UNPOPULAR COUPLE. INTENDED WEDDING BANNED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. . (Received 5.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z. MADRID. Feb. IG. Remarkable scenes occurred at a town in the province of I'rnacazon, Seville, as a result of the . tron;,; resentment of the citizens against a prospective marriage. This feeling was due to the allegation that the man concerned had abandoned another girl and her baby. The outcry was so great that crowds prevented the prospective bride and groom from walking out together. A deputation warned the parish priest against performing the wedding ceremony. The prospective bride's brother was motoring with an escort of two civil guards when he was stoned by the people. The Mayor induced the bridegroom to postpone the ceremony, but he was censured by the military for "lack of energy," Tho people are now strongly guarding the couple to prevent their escape from the district.
