ASTOR WEDDING
is HELD TODAY
Ceremony Performed al New
port by Rev. Joseph
M. Lambert
PASTOR OF CHURCH
Rev. DR.. Macarthur Says
Other Minister Could Not
Have 0ffiCiated.


Newport. r l., Sept 9.-s100,-
10000 John Jacob Astor and his
$5,O00,000 girl bride, Madeline
Force, were united in marriage by
Joseph N. Lambert, pastor Of the
Elmwood Congregational church,
of Providence. Col Astor was
very giddy bridegroom when
the proposed ecclesiastical blessing
had been pronounced on the union.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed at Astor's imposing villa,
Beechwood, shortly before 10
o'clock, after the bridal couple and
the handful Of witnesses, in racing
autos, had lodged into Newport,
pursued by an army Of newspaper
men. The women of the party were
so heavily yeiled as to be unrecog-
nizable, and had to be led like blind
persons when they landed in launch
es from the Astor yacht. The rush
from the shore to the villa was in
the nature Of a stampede.
Rev. Mr.. Lambert was ready and
waiting when the party reached the
mansion, and promptly began the
building Of the new Astor martial
structure He proved a good work
men, and at the end Of ten minutes
had completed the job to the intense
satisfaction Of all present.
While Col Astor displayed moth
ing but intense satisfaction over the
elimination Of his famous romance,
the bride was not the picture of
girlish bloom that won the heart Of
the man of many millions and one
previous wife. The ordeal to which
she had been subjected during the
past few days had left the tell-tale
mark on her fair young cheeks, and
when the bridal couple emerged
from the house, the expression on
her features were one Of relief from
strain rather than unalloyed happi-
ness.
The ceremony performed, the
party was bundled into throbbing
automobiles and there was one more
iaa1 dash. All hands were at the
shore aEain Launches whizzed
them back to the yacht, and there
! the wedding breakfast was served.

concluded, Col. Astor handeF out .
statement embodying his ideas or
| divorce and re-marriage, in which he
said:
Now that the ceremony is over
and We are happily married, / am
not interested in the difficulty with
which marriage and re-marriage
laws are to be surrounded. l SYM
na+hiza heartily with the most
straight-laced people in most of their
ideas, but believe re-marriage should
be possible once, as marriage is the
happiest condition for the individual
and the community"

sharp featured face of the young man
of twenty-six years whose bright fu-
ture has been darkened by crime
and shadowed by the pail of death.
But an aged father, broken and
sorrowful, his whole life shattered
| by his sons plight, is the figure of
sadness in the case. To-day with his
other son and his seventeen-year-o
daughter, he lay in his sorrow-strick-
en- home in state of almost total
collapse.
Beattie, Jr., however, expressed the
same calm confidence that he had
throughout the trial
Il have not lost hope" he said.
'If that jury had given their YER
dict solely on the evidence relating
to my wife's murder, and had fol-
lowed the instructions of the court
closely, l would have been acquitted
beyond doubt. But they were i'm
pressed by the story Of my relations
with Beulah Binford, and they con-
victed me on that point. l had ad-
mitted my relations with the girl
and without regard to the testimony
of the murder they convicted me.
But l hope the Court of Appeals
ent light"
Within a day or two Beattie will
be brought to Richmond where he
will be placed in a death cell, in
"Murderers' Row." at the state
penitentiary. There he will settle
for seventy-six days of waiting for
death.
The twelve Virginia farmers who
held his fate in their hands took only
fifty-seven minutes to ind him guilty
of murder In the first degree. They
were SO eager TO make known their
Judgment that, when asked for it, they
did not merely allow their foreman to
reply, bat they chorused it, all twelve:
Guilty -Guilty-Guiltyr'
The expression of their faces, half
filed with awe by what they had done,
half flied with pity for him, made no
impression whatever upon the strange
young defendant. Nor did the solemn
gaze of 800 spectators, nor the shouts
of Guilty on the lawn outside, nor
the clicking of a dozen telegraph IN
struments almost at his ear, which
were sending out to the whole country
the word of his conviction.
Murder in the first degree was what
the indictment charged. After the YER
dict had been read Judge Watson sen
fenced the young man to be removed
to the state prison on Oregon Hill, in
Richmond, and on Friday, the oath
day OF November, between sunrise and
sunset, that his life be taken in the
manner prescribed by law. The Vir-
ginia law prescribes the electric chair.
When Louis 0. Wendenburg, chief
commemorative prosecutor, had fin
ished his summing up nothing re-
mained to be done but for the jury to
retire and take with them the fate of
the white faced youth who had sat in
an unchanged position during the two
and a half hours that the lawyer had
been building up, bit by bit, the in
eliminating evidence that was to
weigh against him.
Judge Watson whispered for min
ute to his clerk and then he directed

Y. NJ. c. A. MAN
DELAYS START.
Middle of October Before He
Can Get Away.

On account of closing up his af-
fairs as secretary of the Y. M. c. A.
at Brockton, Mass, Frank Killam,
the newly appointed secretary of the
proposed Y. M. G. A. In this city,
will not arrive until the middle of
October. Mr.. Killam will act as
secretary here and organizer Of the
association for at least three months
at salary of $3.50 month. In
that time he will endeavor to inter
est the public In the movement,
hold public meetings, secure addi-
tional funds and new members.
Mr.. Killam was secured by State
Secretary Coburn, who promised the
local workers to get a competent
man for the position, and one who
could organize a branch here, If any
one could. Coming well recon-
mended, having acted as secretary OF
the Brockton Y. M. O. A. for the past
sixteen years, bringing the total
membership there up to 1,400 and
with the population Of Perth Amboy
almost the same as Brockton, Mr..
Killam is almost sure of making a
success here.
1t was with great difficulty that
Mr.. Killam was secured to act here,
as the Brockton people loath to see
him leave on account of his diligent
work there. The desire for new
field is his principal reason for max
ing the change. He is a graduate Of
the Springfield Training School,
having taken a course with the Y.
M. c. A. workers while there.
Both in physical and athletic
training, the new secretary is said
to be very adept, and Is unsurpassed
by few In Bible study. The local
workers are predicting great things
upon his arrival, and feel that one of
the finest Y. M. G. AS in the coun-
try is a certainty.
The proposed mass meeting to be
held September 10, in the audito-
rum, when State Secretary Coburn,
former President Roosevelt and the
new man, were to be present and
make addresses, has been postponed
until some time In October. Prep
arations are being made for a big
time on that night, and enthusiasm
will be stirred up to a great extent.
Numerous lists, containing the

BIG JUDGMENT
IS AFFIRMED
P. & R. Must Pay Frank
koyacz $500 Damages.

Sustaining what is believed to be
the largest verdict ever rendered in
Middlesex county, the Supreme
Court of New Jersey has Just af-
firmed the judgment for $4,000
damages obtained by Frank Ko-
yacz against the Philadelphia and
tried at New Brunswick for three
days, ending October 81, 1910, be
fore Judge Lloyd. Upon the verdict
in favor Of Kovacz, Nelson Y. Dun
gan, representing the railway COM
pany, appealed for another trial, on
the grounds of the amount being ex-
cessiYe.
Koyacz, who was former resi-
dent of Port Reading, but now lives
with his father in Detroit, was run
over by train on the Port Reading
coal docks on the afternoon of
April 2, 1908. AS a result, both his
arms had to be Rmputated at the
shoulder, placing him in a helpless
condition. Kovacz claimed that he
received no warning, and on this
ground the suit was won. Suit was
first started for S25,000, but # was
cut down to $4,000, in the verdict
For some time Koyacz was fed and
clothed by neighbors, until he left
for his home in Detroit.
The railway company attempted
to prove that it was the Port Read
ing Company, which operated the
line, but admitted, that the en-
ployes of the road were paid their
wages by the defendaI
Joseph E. Stricken, Of this city,
and George S. Silzer, of Metuchen,
represented Kovacz, while Nelson Y.
DUNCAN, recently appointed TO the
bench, was the attorney for the de-
fendant.

Trenton, Sept. 9:-Several i'm
portant inquiries made by Elias B
Mott, clerk of Morris county, with
reference to the Geran election law
and Its bearing upon the primary
and general election were answered
yesterday in letter sent to him by
Assistant Attorney General Nelson B.
Gaskill Mr.. Gaskill made his letter
public today.
The first inquiry made by Mr. Mott
was whether it is necessary for a
voter to apply to the court for an
order before the Board of Registry
5000 or less can issue a certificate
of transfer from one district to an
other at either the general or pri-
mary election. On this point Mr..
Gaskill says:
you will observe by a reference
to section 80, page %, of the Geran
law pamphlet that it is provided
that the Board of Registry and Elec-
tion in issuing transfer certificates
shall be governed by the provisions
of this act in relation to transfers at
the general election. There is no
difference, therefore, In the method
to be followed at the two elections.
The method to be followed at the
general election, and necessarily,
therefore, the method to be followed
at the primary election, is provided
by sections 81 and So of the same
pamphlet.
1T will be observed that these
provisions refer to transfers in mu-
inequalities exceeding 5000 inhabi-
t-nts. The court order, therefore.
is unnecessary before transfers can
be issued in municipalities of 5000
or less, and the principals governing
