directly to the residence OF Rev. DR..
Randolph Lowrie. retired Protestant
Episcopal minister, at Alb Fourth street

clock. When DIR. Lowrie was question
ed last night he said he had never met
the couple before and they did not tell
him where they were going for their
wedding trip.
Relatives and friends of Mr.. Joyce
were completely surprised 70 learn that
he was married. 1t is said that there
was no objection to the match from the
relatives of either party.
Mr.. Joyce is the son of Maurice Joyce
and is associated with his father in tine
engraving business. Mr.. and Mrs. Joyce

Thus a legal tangle has arisen, along

last night that he would not institute

he believed acted according to his best
belief. Mrs. l.. r. Coates. the mother of
the bride, said that under no circum-

with the affair than to wish her daugh-
