A Republic Marriage which failed to be performed

There was considerable excitement at the residence of Mr and Mrs Jurry* on
Kloman Ave, Friday evening of last week. The marriage of their daughter, Mary,
to  Thomas Rickets was announced and everything was apparently nicely arranged
for the ceremony. Rabbi Rowland was on hand to tie the nuptial knot, and among
the guests were Captain Peter Pascoe. Ca (unreadable), son Barney Levine, John
Pascoe, Albert Kettle, Mack Levine, and Peter Stamp. They were waiting in the
spacious parlors for the appearance of the happy young couple when to the
consternation of  all present, the infuriated parents of the bride, who it
appears had not fully given their consent to the marriage, put in an appearance
with guns and clubs, and ordered the guests to vacate the premises immediately.
It is needless to add that the exit was rapid, so much so, that the doors
scarcely wide enough for the emergency and the windows were resorted to. In fact
it amounted to a stampede, in which more or less were injured, but fortunately
not seriously. With the exception of Carl Peterson losing his hat and Barney
Levine the rear portion of his dress coat there was no perceivable damage.
Thomas and Mary are still living in blessed singleness.
