SPEEDY BLESSING WON
FROM BRIDES FATHER
Or. Humphreys Daughter and Young
Lawyer Fled in Automobile to
Hackensack and Married.

The story of an elopement in an
automobile to Hackensack, followed
by parental forgiveness, came to light
after the announcement of the mar
riage of Walter Rysam Jones and
Miss Helen Humphreys, daughter of
DR.. F. Landon Humphreys. Mr.. Jones
late of Poughkeepsie, was graduated
in law from Columbia university at
mid-term last year and soon afterward
met Miss Humphreys at a function
given by the Veteran Artillery corps,
of which her father, DR.. Humphreys,
is chaplain.
DR.. Humphreys agreed to an engage
ment between the young couple two
months ago, according to Landon
Humphreys, a brother of the bride,
but asked that the wedding be post
poned until Mr.. Jones, who now lives
in New York, had acquired a law
practice. Last week he said his sis
ter and Mr. Jones became impatient
and decided to be married at once.
They obtained license on Friday and
Saturday morning Miss Humphreys
left 'Llwynderry," their home, in
Morristown, where her parents were,
and went to New York. She met Mr..
Jones. Accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Mortimer Delano and several friends,
they motored to Hackensack, where
they were married in the Episcopal
church, Mr.. Humphreys said. Soon
after the ceremony they sent a tele-
gram to her father apprising him of
the marriage.
Father was pretty angry when he
got the message Mr.. Humphreys
said, "and he went right to our apart
ment in the Touraine hotel in New
York. BY the time he got there he
had cooled down a great DEAL and
when sister and Mr.. Jones arrived
he gave his blessing to them"
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones left Monday
night for honeymoon in Hot Springs
Va.

eral hundred dollars and damaged the
dwelling to the extent of $100 more.

cupied by DR. John Broadwell and
the upper floor by Mrs. Della Lyons,
Assemblyman Lyons mother. The
fire was in the Broadwell apartments.
Mrs. Broadwell had clothing in the
closet and it is thought that in clos

nearby. Mrs Broadwell heard a
cracking noise soon after visiting
the closet and upon opening the door
found the interior of the closet a
mass of flames Her screams for
help brought Assistant Street Com

Part of the work accomplished by

Part of the work accomplished by
the department for the year was the
purchase of a new automobile hook
and ladder truck, built by Mack Bros.
of Allentown, Pa, which was received
here March 5th, 1912, and not only
the board of aldermen, but the City
of Morristown, should be highly COM
plimented by this addition to our
fire-fighting equipment.
The slush-house on Water street
has been repaired and put in excel
lent condition.
Six thousand one hundred feet OF
underground cable have been laid,
adding materially to our underground
system.
The Water Co. have replaced old
hydrants with new two-way hydrants
in several places.
The auto chemical was painted in
August putting that in. good condi-
ton. The fire house on Speedwell
avenue has been painted, beautifying
that.
An innovation of inspection day,
having all the companies present at
banquet, was greatly appreciated
by the entire department.
The old gas heater in the Wash
ington Engine Co. house was replaced
by modern American-La France
steam boiler heater, making the eff
cheney of the Washington steamer
greater than it has been.
On account of the track elevation
it was necessary for the First Ward
Hose Co. S house to be moved across
the street.
Chief Day suggests for the succeed
ing year. an automobile apparatus,
consisting of an automobile pumping
engine, which would give immediate
additional hydrant pressure, which
the town so seriously lacks, and an
automobile hose wagon for the First
Ward Hose company, they being so
situated that horse service is not
practical.
