An Actor Runs Away with the Daugh-
ter OF Buffalo m miltiOnalRo.
From the Buffalo Herald, July 20
While taking stroll on Delaware street,
last Sunday evening, we became o willing
listener to conversation carried on among
a party Of young ladies' notwithstanding
the old saying that "lsteners never hear
any good Of themselves" Of them be-
ing engaged at the time in giving her COM
panions an account of how one of her most
intimate acquaintances, who had been her
companion at boarding school, had been
induced by IN actor, who recently
played IN engagement inthis city, to elope
with him. From this we were able to give
some particulars of the affair, and give
them for the benefit of the readers of the
Herald.
1t appears that, during the holidays the
young lady SO prominently connected with
this incident, whom we will call Nelly
(sweet name), came home from school, and
had just arrived at the age of ''sweet six
teen" From what we can learn, she was
beautiful creature, such q one as q young
man Is like to fall 'dead in love" with be-
fore he has seen her five minutes. Well,
the second night after her arrival here, she
went TO the theatre, and there saw the ac-
tor, who was TO be so closely connected
with her future destiny. We will call him
Harry Staniorth readers will please
bear in mind that thesenames are fictitious.
On the evening in question, Harry was play
Ing a very prominent role--that of 6 passion
ate lover Nelly became 80 fearfully
infatuated with him that nothing would
do--so she expressed herself afterward to
her bosom friend-but an introduction to
the charming Harry. Her desires were
grati6ed, and then, oh, she was in such
ecstacy! Time passed on; walks we're
taken, parties were attended, and, in fact,
Harry became very attentive, and it seemed
to be his greatest desire to bask in the SUM-
light of her smiles. He had gained the
confidence of Mr. and Mrs. -, who
thought that he WAS such nice young
man; but better for them if some kind
friend had been able to mako them cog
INFANT Of the dark clouds of sorrow that
were hanging over them--the signals of q
terrible storm that would soon break over
their heads, and cast gloom of sadness
over their family circle. Harry, after while,
declared hislove for Nelly and she recipro-
Gated. He wanted her to run away, and
get married, She hesitated and wanted
him to ask her parents consent. But we'll
he knew that such boon would not be
granted to him by them for they were
wealthy millionares, and would never
think of suce n thing. He presented the
case to the fair Nellie, and finally she con-
sented One fine morning the father and
mother arose from their beds TO find their
daughter had left her home. Every effort
was made to gain some trace of them, but
in vain. This occurred recently. Last
week the father ascertained that Harry had
gone to Chicago as leading gentleman in
~ a well-known theatre, and that his daugh-
ter was with him. He Immediately took
the first train for the Garden City, His
return is anxlously looked forward to by
the relatives and friends Of the young lady.
The affair caused no littlo excitement and
talk among the Upper ten If anything
further should transpire our readers may
rest assured that We will keen them nosted
