They Went to Jersey.

  Two of Altoona's estimable young people not desiring to endure the 
publicity of getting out a license allowing them to be married, in accordance 
with the new law of the state, hied themselves to Camden, New Jersey, and on 
Saturday last were married in that city, returning to Altoona on the 
following evening.  The bride was Miss Emma Closson, daughter of Passenger 
Conductor James Closson, and the groom was Mr. W. P. Montgomery, a popular 
young gentleman who is a machinist in the employ of the company.  The newly 
married couple are now receiving the congratulations of their many friends.  
New Jersey threatens to become a very popular state with young people who do 
not take kindly to the new marriage law.
