Great was the astonishment of Adolph Jacobs, of 310 East Clay Stteet. a member of the firm of X. I*. Jacobs A Son, when his pretty cousin. Etta, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Krank Jacobs, of Norfolk, appeared before 111 in last Friday, leading by the liand Miles Goodman, n young Norfolk real estate dealer, and presenting him as her hus¬ band. "Do you mean to «*y you are mar¬ ried'.'" Mr. Jacob gasped, gazing blank¬ ly at the laughing young couple. "Exactly," replied Mr. Goodman. "We were married In North Carolina, and are on our honeymoon trip. Vou may tell the folks in Norfolk, if > o'l like, but they know it already. "»Ve atv leaving for a tour of Northern cities, and will he at home to our friends and relatives in a week or t wo." Gradually Mr. Jacobs drew from flie young couple the story of the weeing. Frank Jacobs, fathei of Hie bride, is said to be one of the wealthiest citi¬ zens of Norfolk. Me was on a busi¬ ness trip in the West last wck, and Mrs. Jacobs was confined to her home by illness, when the pretty brunette daughter, to whom young Goodman had been long paying court, decided to in- dulcc her romantic fancy, and sent a messenger for Mr. Goodman. HAD BGEM SECIUCTI.Y BNUAUBD SOME TIME They had been secretly engaged for some time. Mr. Goodman needed noth¬ ing more than the suggestion. He planned the elopement forthwith, tak¬ ing no chance on a possible change of mind, which he recognized as a femi- nine privilege. He rushed ecstatically (from the home of his sweetheart. packed his trunk and satchel, telephoned to his office that important business was calling him out of town, then rushed a baggage transfer wagon to the Jacobs residence, where the pros¬ pective bridegroom was making hasty preparations for her departure. Cousin Adolpii Jacobs did not recover from his surprise until after the "loners, who paid him the fleeing call, had left Richmond on their Northern tour. Then he remembered that he had forgotten to get from the coup!* the name of the North Carolina town chosen by them as their Gretna Green. f'ther relatives of the bride In Rich- mond are Mrs. S. K. Thisohler and Mrs. M. 1. Schloss, of 207 .South Fourth Street. The newly-wed Mrs. Goodman jis eighteen years old, decidedly pretty and accomplished as a singer and pianist. She :s prominent and popular among the younger set of the Ghent j Club. Norfolk. HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Automobile Huns Away on Mnlo Street With Tn o Smnll llojrs. An automobile, owned by E.

A phase of the administering of the defunct bank's affairs b\ the receivers, I which lias been commented upon as un¬ usual. is the fact that the receivers did not follow the usual custom of having legal counsel to advise and di¬ rect them. This was done In the In¬ terest of economy. i'A\ mi-:vr.s to iti-:n:i\ Kits \<;<;itr.<; \tk suo.nnn The receivers. James \V. Cordon and John It. Light foot. Jr.. are both prac¬ ticing attorneys, hence they were able to proceed with their work without tlio assistance of paid lawyers. *1 hey re¬ ceive no fee whatever as lawyers in connection with the receivership, but are paid only for discharging the duties of receivers. The total amount paid to the re- receivers in 1913 was $4,000. Kor their services this year they have re¬ ceived $r,.ooo. \nother feature of the receivership of the Commonwealth Bank out of the ordinary Is noted in the manner in which certain assets were protected. To safeguard certain second mort¬ gages on properties on which the bank had loaned money, authority was given In the court to purchase the first mort¬ gages on these same properties, the risk of loss on th^se second mort¬ gages thus being eliminated.

A phase of the administering of thedefunct bank's affairs b\ the receivers,

receivers in 1913 was $4,000. Kortheir services this year they have re¬ceived $r,.ooo.

\nother feature of the receivershipof the Commonwealth Bank out of theordinary Is noted in the manner inwhich certain assets were protected.To safeguard certain second mort¬gages on properties on which the bankhad loaned money, authority was givenIn the court to purchase the first mort¬gages on these same properties, therisk of loss on th^se second mort¬gages thus being eliminated.
