Slocum, performing the ceremony Commissioner D. J. Laley Of the Doara of public safety, was best man, anu Mise Gertrude G. Guilfoile, sister of the bride. was maid of honor- The bride was gowned in Yale blue satin foulard, tailor made. and wore White SILK mule hat. The maid of honor was at tired in white organdie with white chiffon hat.
 The ceremony was not scheduled to take place until o'clock this morning, when the friends of both patries in-' tended to make big demonstration at the church. It is understood that band had been engaged and that q large number of the city officials and others had planned for monster pro- cession from the home of the bride to the church and thence to the railroad station. The couple learned of the 1n tended serenade and hit upon very clever way of not figuring in 1t. The committee of arrangements caught on and at late hour last night the blg blow out was declared off.
 But all who wanted to see the bridal party did not learn of the change. and in consequence several hundred people who collected about the church between 4 and o'clock this morning were sorely disappointed At first they thought they had simply got there too early and were consoling themselves with this notion when Father Slocum spoke to them from the rectory window. informing them that they had been fooled and humorously suggesting that they return to their homes and finish their nights sleep. This was Il s'killer'' and after hearing it all hands scampered away as fast as their feet could carry them, some of them vow ing as they went that they would get square with the couple after the wed ding tour. Many of them carried bags of rice and. disposed of it here and there on the streets while vending their way homeward. The couple left for New York on the SIP train this morning They boarded south-bound train at the Highland division station and came near getting out of town un- noticed, but just as the conductor shouted "AIl aboard.'' Constable Dona hue and a few others rushed in, con, gratulated the groom and wished the bride joy, much to the surprise of botn. who thought that their whereabouts were unknown to all their friends ex- cept the bridesmaid and best man, who shared all their secrets and accom- panied them to the station.
