FIRE DELAYS A WEDDING.
Party Flies to the Roof, the
Groom Staying Behind to
Guard the Gifts.

Ella Kalpin and Charles Gatzen were
waiting for the minister who was to mar
ry them at the home of the brides par
ents, No127 Willow avenue, Hoboken,
yesterday afternoon when the cry of
Fire" was raised in the house, which is
five-story double brick tenement. Pan
ic broke out among the wedding guests,
and the bride was about to faint when
Gatzen succeeded in making her change
her mind.
The Kalpins live on the third floor.
When the scurrying wedding party got
into the hall it was so choked with smoke
that escape down the stairs was impos-
sible. All except Gatzen ran upstairs
to the roof. Gatzen said he stayed be-
hind to guard the wedding presents, fear
ing sneak thieves would loot the apart
ments.
The fremen were on the second floor
when the Rev Mr.. Frey, of the German
Lutheran Church, who was to marry the
couple, tried to get through the fire lines.
The iremen did not know who he was
and refused to let him pass. Pastor Frey
went home.
The fire was under control in less than
half an hour, the flames not getting above
second story.
The wedding party got down from the
roof when assured that the danger was
over, the minister was called, and the
marriage performed. Small boys of the
neighborhood serenaded the couple last
night.
