Williams fell In love with Miss Schmidt
two years ago while he was visiting in
Los , Angeles. .She. refused, him and he
returned to New York. Three times he
came ..back across, the. continent to per
suade . her. and "3."; proved his lucky
number. While hunting for Miss Schmidt
yesterday -afternoon- Mr.- Williams espied
her sitting at a soda water fountain. He
rushed in and renewed his proposal. She
said "Yes" and .they hurried off to the
court house, stopping In at a Jeweler's to
buy a diamond wedding ring. They were
married' at the -court house by a Justice
of the Peace and half an hour later ap
peared, as' husbandl and .wife at the home
of the girl'* astonlsned parents.
¦During 'the; evening Fitzsimmons ~and
MissGifford'spent'a portion of their time
seeing the city under the glow of
lights and ¦ then . with a < friend of the big
boxer' they visited a down-town resort,
where, \whlle partaking of. refreshments,
the ¦ actress 'and ' her } attentive lover were
the- center; of. attraction; '
the'nuptials of the couple would probably
have .been celebrated some time to-day.
Fitzstmmons, however, balked at the
proposition of securing a license on Fri
day and : having failed to get one yester
day, his marriage necessarily is deferred
until to-morrow.'. As yet the plans for the
marriage have not been definitely arrang
ed. The delay was a disappointment to
the young actress, but she philosophically
reconciled ; herself , to : the situation,
although , laughingly, chiding her future
husband" for ¦; what she was pleased to
term his' foolishness. '. :
A resolution was adopted fixing the

Complaints have been made ? th*at stands

requests that, patrolmen be directed' to

sidewalks - at Its- own expense. • Some
doubts have existed In the past as to the
dedication to the city for, use as a. public

ONE WEEK'S CONTINUANCE.
Supervisor Connor stated that the pub
lic was of the opinion that the company
intended to delay final action on the fran
chise until a r.ew Board of Supervisors
.¦was elected, this in the hope that It could
set the franchise on its own conditions.
Burke said the company has no such idea
in mind and proved his assertion by say-
Jr.g that if such were tiie case the com
pany could have withdrawn its applica
tion for the franchise and presented It
egain when the new board took office.
Burke said the fact that the company
¦was desirous of having the franchise con
eidered disproved Connor's statement.
Max Popper requested that the commit
tee express Itself against granting a fran
chise over the Mission tracks. The resi
dents of the district are In favor of a
franchise for an electric road but the
company would not consent to it. Pop
