lations OF her friends and enjoying a
blissful honeymoon. The explanation,

gagged to young physician, DR. Edward

died suddenly, leaving his home without
occupant Except domestic who left at
once)and his extensive practice in the
/ hands of DIR Perry. So nothing seemed

York, Wednesday, when they met and
were married at the Union Theological
Seminery, In the room of a student friend
of his, Ernest Merriam, in the presence
of witnesses, by Rev G. 81. Whitaker. We

rest of the day but at night they took
| Fall River Steamer on the Sound and ar
| rived at Fall River next morning. Find
ing they had little spare time they took
train for Bridgewater, only few miles
out of their way, where they breakfasted
with her sister, Hattie MRS Bixby) ,hus-
| band and her brother, Myron. Half an
hour later they took train for Wellfieet
