TWO MORE TWICE MARRIED.
MIR. j. IL. KNIFE AND MISS RELLE
REED DOUBLE Welded.

They Were First Married New Years
Eve by Justice Boyd at Hardce-
Vile, s. c., and Again Last Night
by Rev. w. A. Nisbet of the Second
Presbyterian Church at the Brides
Home ON Gwinnett Street.
Mr.. John Harrison Kinzie and Miss Nelle
Burnice Reed were married at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam J. Reed. at Gwinnett and Lincoln
streets, last night. 1t was not the first
time the young people had listened to the
words of the marriage ceremony, how
ever.
On New Years day Mr.. Kinze and Miss
Reed quietly slipped away from Savannah
to Hardeeville. S. c., where they were
married by Justice Boyd. They returned
to Savannah the same day and when Mr..
Kinzie left his bride at the home of ner
parents they had no idea that she had
become Mrs. Kinzie, supposing that the
young people had simply gone out for a
ride.
1t was decided to keep the marriage Sc
cret for a few days, but in the last day
or two the fact became known to a few
friends of the young people. 1t was de.
cided yesterday 10 make the fact known
TO the brides parents, which they cid
in the afternoon. This was the first in,
formation Mr. and Mrs. Reed had of the
affair. They were aware, from the al
tention which Mr.. Kinzie had paid their
daughter, that he evidently entertainly IA
warm esteem for her, but they expected
to be consulted on the subject. They had
no objections to Mr.. Kinzie, but would
have preferred that the marriage should
have been celebrated in a more formal
manner. They accordingly gave their
blessing with the condition that the mar
riage service should be performed again
by a Presbyterian minister, of which
church the brides family are members
The young people readily consented, and
the ceremony was performed last night by
Rev. w. A. Nisbet at the home of the
bride. Only the members OF the family
and few intimate friends among them
Dr. and Mrs. ]. NJ. tombstone, relatives of
the bride. were present.
The desire 10 be married in haste with
the occasional consequence of having the
Knot tied a second time, appears to be
infectious in Savannah. That of Mr.. Kin
zie and Miss Reed being only one Of sew
eral of the kind which have occurred re-
Gently. OF the young people who have
been so united there are none more clever
and more popular than Mr.. Kinzie and his
bride. Mr.. Kinzie is a young Chicagoan,
who made his home in Savannah about
two years ago, being the son of Mr.. Ar
thur M Kinzie He has been very pop
ular in Savannah society, and is also pos
sessed of solid business qualities, being
manager of the Gordon wharf. He is a
nephew of Mrs. W. w. Gordon.
Miss Reed, now Mrs. Kinzie, is not a
native of Savannah, but is entitled to all
the privileges of one, her father having
been born here, and having two great
grandfathers who were prominent in Sa-
vannah in revolutionary days, Mr. Elias
Reed and Dr. Launcelot tombstone, who
distinguished himself as a surgeon in the
revolutionary army. The brides family
removed to Savannah about a year ago
from Cedartown, Ga, where they had re-
sided for number of years, Mr.. Reed
having located there after the war. The
bride is a very lovely, and, in every way,
charming young lady. She has not only
made many friends in Savannah, but has
won social honors in Atlanta, Macon and
other cities.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kinzie will reside, for the
present, at the home of the brides par
