MARRIED in NEW YORK.
Jacob Jurkovitz, a Hebrew, and Miss
Kate Thomas, a Roman Catholic,
Eloped and Were Married.

The residents of the South Wash
ington avenue flats are considerably
worked up at present over the rather
dramatic marriage of Jacob Jurkovitz,
of the flats, and Miss Kate Thomas,
of Green Ridge. Jurkovitz is the son
of Max Jurkovitz, formerly of the firm
of Schwartz &c Jurkovitz. who is one
of the best known and, most highly re-
spected Jewish residents of that por-
tion of the city. The new Mrs. Jurko-
vitz is of Irish parentage, is a Roman
Catholic. Jurkovitz is a young man
about 25 years of age and his wife is
about the same age.
They disappeared from town together
last Friday and were married in New
York state. They made an unsuccess-
ful effort to be united in this city last
week. They have been lovers for
two years, unknown to his family.
The latter declare that his action
was entirely contrary to their wishes,
but that they expect that all will turn
out well in a few days when the couple
return home. They incidentally refer
to a divorce as the probable outcome.
Max Jurkovitz is highly indignant
over his sons conduct.
