THEY WE'D IN HOSPITAL

Richmond, Va, June 2l.-Having
rushed all the way from the rocky
coast of Maine to the city by the
James at the behest of a telegram from
his lady love, telling him that she was
sick in this city, Joseph Dow, of Saco,
Maine, arrived in Richmond this
morning and was married at noon to
Miss Marion Good win, also of Saco, in
the reception room of the Memorial
Hospital. Miss Goodwin has been
sick there exactly one week today.
1t was not runaway marriage 1t
was merely the climax of romantic
courtship which has lasted for more
than two years.
Miss Goodwin had been teaching
school at Southern Pines, N. G. AT
the completion of the school term she
had started for her home and was
taken sick on the train. She didn't
know soul in the city, and the con-
ductor told her to go to Memorial Hos
pltal.
Immediately after the ceremony the
young couple boarded the train for
Washington.

TELLS OF AUTO Theft

DR.. J. P. Christie, owner of the
stolen Oakland 80 that was picked
up here on Monday accompanied by
Mr.. A. D. Hirsch reached the city
Wednesday morning on No. 2, re-
turning on No. Wednesday night
In addition to making arrangements
to have his machine put in condition
and forwarded to him, DR.. Christie
related some of the events in con-
nection with the theft. 1t seems
that on the night of May 80, DR..
Christie, returning from profession
al call, left the machine standing
in front of dairy lunch, in company
with number of others, while he
went in for light supper. Coming
out in a few minutes he was sur
prised to find his car missing, but,
thinking possibly some of his friends
were playing prank, did not notify
the police right away.
Just about the time the Indiana
polls policemen were changing shifts
a phone call from Mapleville, few
miles out, notified them that the
talker had just helped a stranger
start an Oakland automobile which
he seemed to know very little about
running and the license number of
which had been ascertained. In
changing, the night force had not at
that time been notified of the doc
tors loss so phoned that no auto
mobile theft had been reported. For
three weeks, or until the Staunton
chief-of-police teltgraphed, this was
the last trace of the machine found
in any direction. When it reached
here, in addition to a broken spring
and other damage, the car was shy
every accessory possible to detach.

The University of Virginia summer

delivered by President Alderman.
Miss Henderson, supervisor of music

CORONATION
DOINCs

London, June 2O.--Two days of tor
havoc in London's decorations for
the coronation of King George and
Queen Mary, on Thursday. Bunting,
flags and remnants, except those of
the best grade, are today nothing but
smears, and will have to be re-
placed.
The rains, however, have had no
influence on the crowds, which have
fiocked to the city until now the
streets are almost impossible.
Thirty-nine visiting ENJOYS arrived
today, and the welcoming crowds at
the stations were so vast that the
police had great difficulty in preserv-
ing order. Today's ENJOYS included
w enty princes and princesses, who
brought with them large retinues
and mountains of baggage.
That the coronation crowds are
going to furnish rich harvest for
pick-pockets and other crooks was
clearly manifested today by the num-
Der of complaints made to the police.
The crowds are proving the cheap
est that ever visited the city, and
merchants are complaining bitterly
