BALTIMORE. Oct ia special to the
North American tells the following
tory:
AS Hiss Marie Roypen, Of this
city. and Samuel Oren. Of Philads-
phia, were walking down the aisle
of the Moses Montehore Synagogue
last night to be married, JOS
eph Goldberg. In the presence OF hun
sdreds Of witnesses. stepped in front of
the pair. The bride screamed and threw
out her hand as though to protect her
self. Goldberg seized it. slipped newly
nted silver half-dollar into her glove
and placed a ring on the tip OF her
finger.
Then, in loud voice, he announced
in Hebrew that in the sight OF God, Abra-
ham and the company there assembled
Marie Roypen was his wife
CHURCH IN AN UPROAR.
Instantly the church was filed with
dscordant cries. Mr. Oren threw himself
face downward In the aisle and cried.
The parents Of the bride. Dir. and Mrs.
David Roypen, protested against the In
terruption and cried out to Rabbi To-
bias Goodman to proceed with the cere-
mony,
a long discussion followed in an at
tempt to convince the rabbi that the
marriage just performed by Mr.. Gold
berg was lacking in the essentials de-
rlanced and considered binding by ortho-
Il dox lows.
The weeping bride stood mute. wiring
ing her hands. Suddenly she touched
the PROSTATE Oren. and as he raised his
tear-stained face eho cried out:
II cannot marry you. Sam In the
sight OF God and man I am Joseph Cold
berg's wife. am his wife in the eyes
OF our faith
Rabbi Goodman decided to take two
hours for elaboration. At the end OF
that time It had been proved to his
sausfactin that Goldberg had not uttered
the word Of the marriage contract en-
tirely correctly and that this made the
one-sided union invalid.
MARRIED TO OREN.
The rabbi called Oren and Marie before
him and pronounced them to be husband
and wife.
The company was divided as to the
justice of Rabbi Goodman's decision. the
men declaring he was right, while
nearly every woman denounced the act
averring that Joseph Goldberg was
Marie's real husband.
Despite this difference Of opinion. more
than 1000 guests attended the wedding
feast ut Powhatan Hall later in the eve
ming.
Goldberg declares he will fight to be
declared the rightful bridegroom. He
says that according to the old Orthodox
Jewish faith. which is held by both him
self and the bride. that when man
places new coin in a maiden's hand
and a ring on her finger. and in the pres
ence OF three or moro witnesses pro-
claims her his wife. she is his wife.
Three rabbis Of the Orthodox Hebrew
faith are to meet In conference this week
to decide whether Marie is Oren's or
Goldbergs wife.
Late tonight Oren applied for a war
rant at the Southwestern police station
for the arrest of Goldberg and his wife.
He declared they had eloped.

The Four Track News.

There is much of education and enlight- enment i'll the dainty little monthly maga- zine, The Four-Iraek News" which comes to Us from the editorial workshops of the passenger department of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company Its pages are filled with interesting matter regarding travel, our expanding commerce, and the development of our transportation facilities. The January number is devoted largely to California, the idea of the editor being to give special attention each month to that portion of the world to which people are at the, time travelling The leading ar ticie on this subject Is The Land Of the Sunset Sea-, written by Luther L. Holden Other interesting features are Egypt Then and Now" by George Fade; The Ro nance of Reality" by Jane w Guthrie; sketch of Hudson, New York, by H. R. Bryan, and much that is entertaining in verse and wel-edited departments. There are also valuable contributions on the cul- tivation of prunes. olives, grain and sugar beets. 90 cents per year, cents per copy Business communications should be ad- dressed to George H. Daniels General Pas senger Agent, Grand Central station, New York city.
