PRIEST MARRIES ''LEFTY' FLYNN IN |. CATHOLIC CHURCH
Cardinal Farley Sanctions Nuptials After Investi-
 tigation of Case.

Maurice Lefty Flynn, once full back at Yale, and Miss Blanche Pal mer, daughter of pr. and Mrs. Ed mund J. Palmer of 103 West Eighty sixth street, went over to Jersey City yesterday and were married in St. MichaePs Roman Catholic church. The Rev. Terrence B. Gilmartin of the Church of the Blessed Sacrame ent, 71st street and Broadway, of1ciated.
 This is Lefty F1ynn's second mar riage- He married Irene Leary of the Winter Garden a few years ago, but they were divorced. A civil ceremony was performed at the time of F'lynn's first matrimonial venture. Father Gilmartin refused to perform the church ceremony on the occasion of the F'lynn-Leary nuptfals.
 Although divorced Flynn, who with his bride recently came into a large fortune, found he could be married time, as only a civil ceremony was performed in the first instance. New ertheless, Father Gi1martin referred the matter to Cardinal Farley for his consideration before consenting to of f1ciate.
 The maid of honor was Miss Gene Palmer, sister of the bride, while Carl T. Condin was best man. The pa rents of the bride and bridegroom were present. Miss Palmer recently 1nA6I1C0Q n0T uncle E. P. Shore, Colorado copper king. F'lynn's fortune came from his grandfather.
 The F,Iynn-Leary wedding finds sim ilarity from the Catholic Church viewpoint with that of Miss Ethel Croker, youngest daughter of Rich ard Croker, and Thomas F. White of Cedarhurst, L. l., last week. The now Mrs White married John J. Breen, riding academy groom. in 1910 but obtained a divorce. Civil ceremonies, later set aside by court decrees, do not stand in the way of another marriage in the Roman Cath ollie church and, in the case of the White-Croker wedding, the ceremony was performed in St. Mary's church at Port Chester.
 Lefty F1ynn's first wife recently married Charles Rendigs.

 The Constitution Jefferson and Madison the Founders.

DEATH OF CAPT. CARSON.

DEATH OF CAPT. CARSON.
 Captain John Carson, who was shot in Philadelphia on Saturday evening, January 20. 1916, departed this life on the night of the 4th inst.
 The circumstances relating to the death. as they have been communi- cated to us, are as follows: Capt. Carson sailed from this country for the East Indies before the breaking out of the war of 1872. He left his wife and two children in PhiIade1- phia- He arrived at the port to which he was destined after the usual passage, but 8 war having commenc- ed about this time, cut off all oppor- tunities of conveying any informa- ton of his situation to his family. At this place Capt Carson was de- tained a long time, so that four years had elapsed since he had been heard from; and his wife thinking he must have been lost, married the above
 Lieut. Smith, who was present at living when Capt Carson returned short time since to this country.
 Being appraised of what had taken place in his family, he sent his fath- er-in-law to inform his wife of his arrival in this country, and shortly after went to the house where she re- sided. He asked her if it was true that she had married in his absence and she answered in the affirmative. He demanded his papers and his children.
 [. eiut Smith, who was present at the conversation, withdrew to an ad- jacent room for a few minutes. He returned in a few minutes with loaded pistol, and immediately dis charged it's contents into the head of Capt. Carson. The ball entered at his mouth and shattered his head in q shocking manner In this situa- ton he has languished from the 20th of January until February 4th, when he expired. Lieut.. Smith was taken into custody.-N Y. Herald.
