Morris of seventy years ago.

Another pleasing feature of the
occasion was the address by the
groom telling when and where
he first met his bride. The bride
looked very pretty in white dot
ted swiss dress made after the
fashion of the one she wore fifty
years ago.
One sad feature however,
was the absence of the only son,
Harry NJ. Doty, of Galveston,
Texas, who could not be present.
The five daughters were present:
Mrs. Margaret Abel of Kansas
City. Mo-; Mrs. Beatrice Humph-
rey of Chicago, ILL.,; Mrs. Mona
Opperman, Mrs. Jeanette Watts,
and Miss Grace Doty of this city.
Mr.. Corncileus Ridcnour of Col
lege Corner, Ohio. and Mrs. Ella
Kelly nee Ryan of Eaton, Ohio,
acted as best man and bridesmaid
on that June evening fly years
ago. Both are still living, each
having reached their SEVENTEEN
milestone. Sickness in the fam
lily prevented the former brides
maid from attending. Mrs. Jane
Kiger of Indianapolis, Ind, the
only sister of Mr.. Doty, was pres
ent. Mr.. John. B. Opperman
gave the address of welcome.
The occasion was marked by
charming simplicity and Celtic
hospitality that will always be
remembered by those present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Doty had the assis-
lance of Mr.. and Mrs. John B.
Opperman, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.
Abel, Mr.. and Mr.. H. E. Humph-
rey, Mr.. and Mrs. L. H. Watts,
Miss Grace Doty, Mrs. Jane
kiger, Mr.. and Mrs. Will Hartley
DR.. and Mrs. A. J. Thompson,
Mrs. Henry Scott, Mr.. and Mrs
Ed Polster.
Many elegant and costly pres
ents were received, also a purse
of gold coin.
Mr.. and Mrs. Doty were seated
in the reception hall as the guests
departed and babe them each
good night.
The out of town guests were as
follows:
Rev. NJ. E. Bramhall, of Carr
thage, Mo-. Mrs. Jane Kiger. of
indianapolis, Ind; Mrs. A. R.
Miller of Iowa; MI. and Mrs. H.

The following was read by Mrs Mary

For better or for worse"

Safely the storms outride
And death does not divide,
Husband and wife.

In glad refrain:

For life and length Of days
To meet again.
Then let the bridal pair.

bridges destroyed and hundreds of peo-
pie homeless In the suburbs, are a few
OF the results of the food, which fol-
lowed a sudden and terrific rise In the

daylight this morning.
The property damage will be heavy.
In Fort Worth seven people r
known to be dead, 5000 are homeless.
and a dozen or more are reported to
have been killed.
Stock valued at many thousands Of
dollars, including $500 sheep penned
up In the stock yards in North Fort
Worth, was washed down stream and
destroyed. The property loss cannot be
estimated as yet.
The paralysis OF the railroad service
Is almost total.
The village of West Dallas. across
Trinity river, Is partially inundated.
Hundreds OF families were forced to
seek higher places. A section Of the
Texas & Pacific railway bridge has
gone down. Fifteen men We're thrown
into the river and six were drowned.
The Brazos river, at Waco, Is higher
by two feet than ever known. Thou
sands of acres OF land are overlooked.

The people contend that Thaw was not
deprived Of his liberty without due process

The relator claims tina the statute does

Section 90 OF the insanity laws pro-

ment for the act which led to the deten-

OF Imprisonment and that said Thaw es-

by reason Of his existing mental condi.

some form OF insanity with the possible
recurrence OF an attack similar to that
which the jury believed he was suffering
from when he killed Stanford White.
In view of the existing mental oondl-

public Is better insured by his remaining

WEDDING STORY IS DENIED
IN PARIS; COMING LATER

Parts, May I'm. Cachard, attorney
for Nine. Anna Gould. who at present
Is engaged in preparing a contract for
Mime. Gould's marriage to Prince
Helie de Sagan. authorizes h Asso-
cIated Press to deny absolutely the
story that the couple was secretly
ried at Hoboken on the evening OF their
departure from America las month.
AS already stated In these dispatches,
The Gould family's opposition to the
marriage has been withdrawn. Bans
will be published next Sunday; the
marriage will take place a fortnight
later. There will be both civil and re-
ligious ceremonies. Later. under the
Protestant rite. the couple will be mar
ried under what Is known in France az
separation Of property regime" each
party to remain in absolute control OF
his or her own fortune, which, In the
event OF death, shall not Ass to the
survivor, but to the heirs OF the de-
ceased. After the marriage the couple
will reside In France.
Count Bonl de Castellane, divorced
husband of Nine. Gould, Is prepared the
moment the bans are published to bring
suit to transfer the custody of the Cas-
telIane children to himself on the
ground that De Sagan Is not At to be
their stepfather. The count. however,
evidently a not yet been appraised OF
the exact situation, as he lmagines
Nine. Gould Is still hesitating with re-
gard to marriage. He counts upon con-
tinued opposition Of George Gould,
who, he says, Is expected I'm Paris with
In a fortnight. There Is intimation
from sources friendly to Nine. Gould
that Boni would not dare to bring a
suit for the custody OF his children. as
It would assuredly provoke the reNela-
lion of certain damaging matters affect
ing him. which heretofore have been
held In reserve.

HELIE AND ANNA
WED MONTH AGO

New York. May "a. ~ Anna Gould il
now the wife OF Prince Hello de sagan.
having been welded to him by Justice
OF the Peace w. C. Budenbender. in
Hoboken, on the night OF April 10 last.
according to the Acknowledgements OF
Justice Budenbender.
The ceremony has been denied by the
principals, first because Mr.. Gould de-
sired to avoid a break with the family;
second. because OF legal complications
possible in France, and third, because
OF h desire of the principals TO get
the sanction Of the pope to the cere-
mony. E." W. ~
So far the ceremony at Hoboken has
not been officially recorded, owing to
the fact that Justice Budenbender, who
is said to have received a $500 fee for
doing the work, Shas held up the certih-
cate beyond the legal time at the re-
quest OF the principals. The fact that
he Is facing a fine OF $50 for doing this
Is said to have been responsible for the
official decision not to keep the secret
longer.
1T Is true I performed the cere-
mony," Budenbender Is quoted as say
ing, "and I am sure that the parties
h figured in It were Prince de Sagan
and Nine. Gould. 1 kept the matter
secret at their request. but cannot do
so longer" -
At Midnight.
According to Budenbender the cere-
mony took place e a midnight on the
date named. the details having been
arranged previously by an agent OF the
prince, the exit OF Mime. Gould and the
prince from the st. Regis hotel being
made quietly through a back door in
order to avoid spies Of the Gould fam
lily and waiting newspaper men.
Justice Budenbender said he had
been engaged three weeks In advance
to tie the knot Tuesday, he said, the
details Of the ceremony would be given
to the public, with the names OF the
witnesses and all the particulars. which
made so much delay necessary. He
intimated that representatives of the
Gould family had exacted a promise of
silence that would not permit him to
tell more n already had been given
out.
A conference. participated in by
George, Edwin and Helen Gould, was
held last night at the home OF Miss
Helen at Irvington- OF he-Hudson. II
Is understood they were much exer-
cised owe what they considered a pre-
mature announcement OF the DeSagan-
Gould nuptials.
George Gould said the family would
not make any statement. He intends
10 sail for Europe this month. The OBJ
ject of the visit Is for the purpose OF
making a Anal settlement with his sis
ter.
It Is now asserted by those in the
confidence Of Nine. n that the civil
ceremony in Hoboken was escorted to
only after she failed at all interviews
with members Of the family to gain
their consent to her alliance with De-
Sagan, and they are said to have final
ilY given in,
