The notices were endorsed by George W.
Hamill. sexton OF st. Marks. He knew moth
ing more. he said. than that he had been d.
rected to send the notices down. He did not
see the weddings.
It was learned elsewhere that several days
ago Miss Olivia Hoe and Mr.. Slade had called
on the Rev. DR.. Rylance and told him that they
we're going to get married. and wanted him to
perform the ceremony.
DR.. Rylance is acquainted with the Hoe
family. and he also knew that Mrs Hoe. the
girls mother. was opposed to tho match.
But as he saw that'the two were firmly de-
cided upon marrying. and as they were Of
lawful age. he agreed to perform the
ceremony in the church yesterday morning.
Yesterday morning came and DR.. Rylance
found Miss Hoe and her prospective BRIDE
groom waiting for him ut the church. With
them were another young man and young
woman.
These Miss Hoe said were the witnesses. and
they were the only witnesses present ut the
ceremony besides DR.. Rylances assistant the
Rev. Richard Golden.
DR.. Rylance read the marriage service from
the prayer book while the couple knelt before
him.
Tho work OF recording the marriage and re-
ceiving the signatures Of the witnesses DR..
Rylance had left to his assistant He WAS
very much astonished when he turned around
presently and found that the witnesses" were
making arrangements to get married them
selves by the Rev. Mr.. Golden. Then for the
first time DR.. Rylsnce noticed that the young
woman who had been witness was Miss
Laura Hoe. . sistsr OF Olivia
Her escort was Mr.. Carter. and In few min
utes the Rev. Mr.. Golden had made them man
and wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Slade returned the favor
by entering their names as witnesses OF this
second wedding.

West Tenth street. and brother Of George p.
Slade. Treasurer Of the[New York. Manhattan.

Leonard street, and one OF the managers OF the
Merchants Club.
