JUNIATA
MATRIMONIAL
Secret Leaks Out.

  And now comes to light a quiet little nuptial trip that occurred on 
Wednesday, December 13, when Miss Catharine Dippen, of Juniata, and 
Clyde H. Hescox, of Altoona, slipped away to Oakland, Md., and were 
tied up for life by the Rev. W. W. Shultz, pastor of the Oakland 
Methodist Episcopal church.  The happy pair are said to have started 
out to attend a country butchering at the young man's paternal home in 
Cambria county, and instead went afar from the scene of the slaughter 
to a nuptial altar in Maryland.  They kept the little romance a secret, 
presumably as a Christmas surprise to their friends, but it is said to 
have leaked when the proud husband burst into confidence with fellow 
workmen in the Altoona car shops on Saturday.
  The bride is a charming Juniata girl, a daughter of Mrs. Sarah J. 
Deppen, of 713 Sixth avenue.  Mr. Hescox is a son of Mr. and Mrs. 
George Hescox, of Glasgow, and has for some time boarded in the East 
End as an employe of the Pennsy.  The pair for the present will be at 
home in Juniata with the bride's mother.
