A young man who summers at >Watch Hill who claims Westerly as his resi- dence during that period and Soutn Carolina city as his winter home, had planned to leave Westerly for the south Wednesday, and to take with him a bride, with whom he became ac- quainted while at Watch Hill. Ine young woman is resident o1 ProVi- dence and the plan was satisfactory to her According to the story of the prospective bridegroom, he and his in tended went to the town clerks once to take out marriage license and geI married before departing for the Souths In this they were foiled by the laws or the state. as the prospective bride was only IS years of age. and license could -hot be issued without the consent or her parents. They could not cross over the bridge into Connecticut and have the marriage ceremony performed there, as the law required notlce ol intention from non-residents for a pc riod of five days before license could be granted. They could have gone to Providence and be married without delay, provided the parents consent was obtained as the proposed bride groom was granted his part or the H. cense in Westerly.
 It was evident, however that It was the plan of the young woman to ger married first and ask for the paternai blessing afterward. Whether the party went 10 HTONlQenc6 ana were Illdl lieu or started Southward to be united Tn some state where marriage laws are not strict, deponent knoweth not.

She is not very dark, in fact, would pass at a glance as an attractive white woman. Both -afe| decidedly respectable in manner and appearance and seemed to fully eefnprehend all that pertained to mat rlmony.
