Mr. ad Mrs. Russell Hopkins will take possession on Christmas Day of prob- ably the most valuable Christmas gift of the season in the shape of a fv story mansion at No. 1 which has been newly decorated and furnished throughout jn the most elab- orate and costly fashion. The ‘iouse ‘and contents are a Christmas gift to Mrs. Hopkins from her grandmother, Mrs. J. J. Lawrence of the Plaza Hotel Mrs. Lawrence, the widow of Dr. J. J. Lawrence of St. Louls and New York, who died March 14, 1909, at his home, No. 1080 Fifth avenue, is geasor of an enormous fortun Dr. Lawrence made millions out of a stand- ard medical preparatio- iaich is manu- factured in St. Louis, and multiplied his fortune by his investments in real estate. ELOPING COUPLE MARRIED ON YACHT. Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence had two chil- dren, a boy and a girl. The girl wi married to Charles Slegrist of St. Louis, and to them was born a daughter, Vera, in 1889. Mrs. Slegrist died and the daughter was adopted by her grand- parents. On Oct. 4, 198 Miss Vera, seventeen years old and but a short time before graduated from the Misses Kly's achool, stole out of the home of her grandfather and joined Russell Hop- kins, the twenty-one-year-old son of a millionaire patent medicine manufact- urer of Atlanta, Ga. Miss Siegrist was accompanied by a chaperone. Young Mr. Hopkins had a steam yacht, the U-no, In the North River. He took Miss Slegrist and the chaper- one aboard and steamed up to Peek- skill. Thee Rev. John G. Oakley, pas- tor of the First Methodist Church, who had been notified beforehand, boarded the yacht and married the young couple. After the ceremony had been Performed, Mr. Hopkins telephoned the news to Dr. Lawrence and to his moth- er, Mrs. Imogene Hopkins, who lives at the St. Regis, The happy pair took a honeymoon cruise on the yacht, returned to New York and were forgiven.

POLICE ARE CALLED IN. Friends of the Rector, Rev, Clayton M. Legge, Declared Winners After Ballot. The turbulence that has marked the affairs of St. Andrew's Protestant Epts-| copal Church at Fiftteth street and) Fourth avenue, Brooklyn, since {tv vestry turned against the late Rev. Willam N_ Ackley, the aged rector, last year, broke out with renewed vio- lence to-day when seventy-five male members of the church met to elect a new warden and vestrymen. Heated argument, the passing of the Me by imputation, the He indirect, the Me direct and the lie profane: the use of language one might expect to hear at a red-hot meeting on the river front. and & general melee in which fists were swung freely, were incidents of the meeting that resulted in the calling out of police from the Fourth precinct eta- tion. By the time the police arrived hostilities had subsided to the argu- mentative etage and no arrests were, made. ‘To ufderstand to-day's fracas it is necessary to remember that just about year ago the vestry of the church de- cided to remove Rector Ackley, then seventy-one years old. The aged minis- ter objected, as did the greater part of his congregation. The matter was taken to the courts and Justice Garretson de- cided in favor of the rector, The ex- cltement and worry ineldent to the battle against his vestry broke down t aged rector's health and he died a tew hours before the victory in the courts was made public. The vestry, headed by Warden Dr. George Chaffee, called Rey. Clayton Legge from Boston to fill the vacancy ‘The new minister failed to win the favor of the late rector’s adherents and 1)- y's battle was really based an the question whether or not his services should be retained, RIVAL CANDIDATES FOR OF. FICERS OF THE CHURCH, Two tickets for a warden and three vestrymen were in the field for to-day's election. Rev. Mr. Legge presided. On one ticket was Chaffee, John Bowker, David Hetzel and James Maconkey. They represented the Legge faction The insurgent ticket read: Richard O. Chitthk, for warden, and Gilbert Wood, William Schapcoop and William 8. Banka for the vestry. All were former adherents of the late Rector Ackley, and tt understood tnat if they were elected they would demand Legge's re- moval. When the polis opened the wrangle began, Members of each faction leaped to their feet and shouted uncomplimen- tary things at one another. Cries of “Oh you bum actor" were hurled at the presiding minister. Things got hotter and hotter until several fist fights started and some one rushed out to cal! the police. ‘T’ » arrival of a number ot bluecoats quieter the combatants and the voting began When Rev. Mr, Legge deealred the polls closed on the motion of Warden Chaffee the vote stood & to 18 in favor of the Chaffee-Legge faction. Instantly a howl went up from the other side, Mr. Chittk and his friends declared that Chaffe eand Legge had connived to close the polls before the proper time because they saw they would lose the electia They dectare they would take the mat- ter into the courts, demanding a new election Mr, Legwe said after tho election that rything was in proper for: d that election vindicated the position Chat. and his adherents had always taki led to from the 1 of using such lang. meeting a FOUR KILLED IN COLLAPSE.
