Two unbidden guests at a wedding feast last night threw weeps into the wine and the banquet into a bedlam, The wedding was that of Miss Annie Liberman and Joseph Kaartles, The unbidden guests were Detectives Brown and Behan of Williamsburg. They came to take away the proud father who had just given away his charming daughter. Both ceremonies took place in Har- lem Terrace Garden at No. 210 East One Hundred and Fourth street.

Jacob Lieberman was one of the centre pleces and to pull him out meant the fall of the whole structure. The cops waited, The wedding went on uninterrupted and then came the banquet. An orchestra mellowed the scene with its Ight music and then the health of the bride and bridegroom was proposed and Papa Lieberman arose to respond. Very prettily he set off the accomplishments of his daughter and the bridegroom, Very sound advice he gave them for their future. The Will- lamsburg warrant servers felt faint- hearted. They felt sure there must be some mistake in the man. They pinched themselves before attempting to pinch Lieberman, ‘Then they sent word that two gentlemen from Williamsburg wanted to see him. BRIDAL PARTY INDIGNANT AT SLEUTHS’ INTERRUPTION, The bridal party was indignant a such an interruption and Mr. Lieber- man of Chicago desired to postpone the business till the morrow.
