Yesterday zborowsld went to the Rev.
George Wallace, Of the Augustine Episco-

Mr. Wallace replied that as a loyal clergy
man in the Episcopal church he could not
perform the ceremony. He suggested, how
ever, that the Rev John A. Crusan, Of tho
I First Congregational church, was not bound
by church obligations and that he would
doubtless unite the couple. This was ar
ranged and the marriage took place.
