Greenwich. Conn. Dec. 2s.-Richard Croker
Warren. nephew and namesake OF the Tam
many leader, and Mrs. Sarah L. Corse. both OF
Flushing. n. Y. were married here at midnight
last night. In some respects II resembled the
marriage OF Perry Belmont and Mrs. Sloane
which took place here recently. The Belmont
Sloane affair was arranged BY lawyer and a
Congregational clergyman oficlated. He did
not know OF Mrs Sloanes recent divorce until
aiterward and grief over the mistake caused a
serious illness. He has since died. In this
case Methodist minister refused to marry
the couple and a lawyer oflciated. In both
cases divorces had just been granted In New
York State against one Of the contracting
parties. and therefore a second marriage In
that State was i'm possible.
Mr.. Warren and Mrs. Corse arrived In Green
wich on the IL O'Clock westbound train last
night and engaged Edward Pine. a hackman.
to take them to the Methodist parsonage
where the Rev. william W. Gillies lives. Mr..
Gillles had retired but donned his clothes and
came to the front door. opening It as far as tho
chain lock would permit. Through this open
