A GLEN COVE WEDDING.
Mrs. Mary Coles Titus Becomes Mrs. Van Amburgh.
GLEN COVE, L.I., Dec. 16.-Mrs. Mary Coles-Titus, widow of Jacob W. Titus, of this place, and Mr. Isaac J. Van Amburgh, of Peekskill, were quietly married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William H. Coles, on Forest avenue at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the Rev. John W. Gammack, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, this village. Only members of the bride's family were present at the ceremony, and the happy couple left on the 2:42 westbound train en route for Buffalo, where they will remain until Christmas.
They will then go to Folrida for the remainder of the winter. They will go to California in the spring, and during their absence a house will be built for them in this village, where they will next summer take up their permanent residence. Mrs. Van Amburgh wore a beautiful traveling dress of a rich dark brown material, which was covered when she emerged from the house by a superb sealskin saque, a present from her husband. People are commenting everywhere on the rumor that he settled $70,000 on her shortly before the ceremony, some saying he gave her the bulk of his property. Mr. Van Amburgh is between seventy and eighty years old, and his bride just thirty.
