GIVES WRONGNAME
Of GIRL Who IS
TO Be HIS BRIDE
Willis Foley Has Exciting
Time In Rockville, But
All Is Now Well.

All the excitement and nervousness
additionally connected with obtaining a
license to be married was suffered by
Willis Foley, 292S Fourteenth street, yes
terday In an abnormal degree. because,
when he rushed into the office of the
marriage license clerk at Rockville, he
asserted that the name of the bride-to-
be was May Purcell, whereas an hour
later, when the ceremony had been per-
formed he returned to say that he had
made a mistake and that the former
name of bis wife was May Frizz0ll.
The ceremony had wiped out every
vestige Of his wife's former name, how
ever. and the matter was not of much
consequence.
Il don't think Foley was go excited
that he did not know his brides name, -
said the license clerk today, "but he was
so bothered that he could not speak
SO we could understand him."
After obtaining the license to marry
May Purcell, Foley went with his bride
to the residence OF the Rev. Samuel r.
White, of the Baptist Church, where the
ceremony was performed The mistake
in the license was not discovered until
the minister looked at II and asked II
the names there were correct, The bride
protested and the excitement of the
groom increased. The minister proceed.
ed with the ceremony, however, and
Foley dashed back to tell the license
clerk he had made a mistake, marrying
the right girl but the wrong name.

ANACOSTIA ID. C.. AUG.


After numerous pleas on the part of
citizens for its proper treatment and
maintenance by the Government. Logan
park. Anacostia's only public reservation.
Is to be made into an attractive spot.
Information to this effect was communi-
Gated to residents of the town yester-
day, when force of surveyors appear
ed to perform the preliminary work.
Logan park was originally known as
Market space" and the late owners
left the ground to the District for this
purpose. Finding that no market was
established there, the citizens appealed
to the Commissioners to have 1t made
into park. but they declared they had
no authority to improve the ground
or to maintain It as a park. The aues-
ton was happily settled by the War
Department consenting to take over
the ground and treat It as a park. Still,
1t was never treated on the same scale
as the city parks, but now this IL to be
changed, and It will be maintained as
becomes q public reservation for the
benent Of the people.
1t has been settled definitely that the
extension of the District water system
to East Washington Heights will have
to be made, II made at ALL by some
other route than py installing mains
along Alabama avenue, between Con-
gress Heights and East Washington
Heights. The fact that an extension Of
the water mains from Congress Heights
to the Hebrew Cemetery, more than a
mile away, by way of Alabama avenue,
is in progress, led to the report that
the mains were to be continued as far
as East Washington Heights. This Is
not practicable, owing to the lack Of
necessary pressure to carry the water
over the hills that lie between the two
towns.
Citizens of East Washington Heights
are still hoping that the Commissioners
will devise some plan by which the
water will be extended to the suburb.
David c. Fountain, representative Of
the East Washington Heights Citizens
Association to visit the Commissioners,
Is awaiting an appointment with Cap
tain Markham to go over the situation.
The situation at Garfield. where the
quate supply of water, will be relieved,
| 1t is thought, through the erection OF
| windmill over the deep well. and this
| work is going on now.
There are few public wells In the
community which supply the residents
with water, and when one Of them Is
out of service the lack of water is
| felt. This is the reason why the citi-
| gems living near Stanton and Pomeroy
roads have asked the police to report
| the public pump there out of service, as
| 1t has been broken. .
