A CHRISTMAS ROMANCE.
Fair Maiden from Duquesne, Pa,
 Weeds Vaudeville Singer Here.

Little Dan Cupid is competing with Santa Claus in this city this joyous Christmas time. He started the week on Monday by winding up romance that had its inception in Pennsylvania several years ago and through which Miss Laura Schink of Duquesne, Pa. and Oliver G. Ward, who lives just across the river in McKeesport, have become bride and groom.
 MT. Ward Is a member of the Echo quartet that opened an engagement at the Bradley theatre Monday afternoon. When he went on for his first show here his bride of few hours sat in the audience and applauded and en-, joyed the crackerjack act as much as any of the other spectators-yes, more than any other one of them.
 Miss Schink, in response to tele- gram to come on and get her Christ mas present of a husband, made a hurry trip from Pittsburgh to Boston, where the man who Is now her hubby was playing last week.
 When the charming young lady ar rived at Boston her husband-to-be met her with the disappointing news that he had discovered that Massa- chusetts laws require the giving of a five days notice of intent to marry,
 
 Putnam Monday and that there would be no difficulty about getting the H. cense quickly-and there wasn't.
 Town Clerk David Flagg quickly produced the necessary document and shortly afterward Rev. George D.. Stanley, at the Methodist parsonage, made the happy pair Christmas pres ent of each other.
 Mr. and Mrs, Ward were as happy as could be Monday afternoon. At the theatre the Echo quartet outdid themselves, giving one of the finest acts seen here in many long day. The other three men, one of whom is Mir. Wards brother, Charles, seemed to be permeated with the spirit of the day and of tn holiday and everything went with snap that won hearty ap- plause.
 Many in the audience fretted them selves ever the question as to which of the four was the bridegroom and for their benefit it may be announced that it was "the janitor." The brother is the blackface artist.
 Mrs. Ward was not overlooked by those who had favors to extend and Monday evening she was a delighted guest at a Christmas social function given at the Methodist church.
 Mrs. Ward will have the happiness of her husbands presence until after the holidays, when the Echo quartet go up into Nova Scotia for a stay of five weeks. It's too cold up there for brides, so Mrs. Ward is going back | to Pennsylvania to await her husbands return, an event which he says he will be very anxious for.

 Judge Shumway of the superior court has appointed Warren D. Chase of Hartford temporary receiver of the Middle River Manufacturing company and there will be hearing on Dec. 30 to make the receivership permanent In the complaint, which is brought by William Lee through his attorney, VII lis H. Reed, it is charged that MT. Lee is the owner of 500 shares of the Mid dle River Manufacturing company of the par value of $50 each. half the au- thorized capital stock. He claims that 322 of the 500 shares stand in the name of A. B. Hedges, indorsed Tn blank and held by himself, but he can not transfer to himself because he has never forwarded to one Jerry NJ. Shee- l han filled out with a formal demand for the transfer of said shares in his own name because he feared said cer- 1 tiflcates might be lost and the evidence Of ownership destroyed.
 Mir. Sheehar Is a resident of New burg, N. '. He formed a partnership with Lee in 1929 and bought the prop erty in dispute from the Stafford 1 Springs bank. The two held the prop erty until 1903, when the corporation
 was organized. Since then Lee has 1 been able to get the certificates as signed in blank for 322 shares, and for the remaining Is Sshares he has no certificate. He alleges that Sheehan has been holding those back in order to qualify dummy directors. AL though a half owner, he says that he has never had any representation on the board of directors and never has been notified of any stockholders meetings and never received any financial statement of the corporation. The proceeding involves only the own ership of the mills and mill property and does not involve the parties who are in possession by lease.
