Her-A Scene.
From the Washington Republican. Sept23I
That the police authorities are often
called upon to perform quecr duties
is a fact which was fully demonstrat-
ed Thursday. On the 18th inst, a
telegram was received by Major Rich
ards requesting him to look out for
and arrest a couple named James W.
Alison and BERTHE Jacobs. whose de-
scription were given. The telegram
was turned over to detective George
G. Miller, and that officer was on
hand at the early train next morning
to capture if possible, the fugitives.
But early as he went he was too late,
and insted of seeing the runaways he
met the father of the truant young
lady, and from him learned who they
were and why they were to be arrest
ed.
Miss Jacobs is Jewess. Mr.. All
man is a GENTLE The parties are
both young-the gentleman about
twenty eight and the lady about eigh-
teen. Shortly after the close of the
war Mr. Jacobs pere was doing bust
ness in Fairfax, Va. {; SO was Mr.. ALL
man. The young people met and
loved, but the almost insuperable
AFFECTION of race interferel with the
otherwise smooth current of their
affection.
Mr. J., after a, time, removed to
Baltimore, and Mr. A. to Alexandria,
in which respective cities they en-
gagged in business. The young ones
were separated, bat not estranged,
and they found way by the United
States mail to keep the flame brightly
burning.
On the 18th Mr.. A visited his in
amorata at her home; on the 10Th
both were missing hence the dispatch
and the visit of the old gent. On
their arrival in this city the couple
repaired at once to the City Hall, in
tervieweG Mr.. Meigs, the clerk of the
Supreme Court, gave him small
amount ofcurrency, and got in return
therefore the consent of the law to be
"spliced." Armed with this docu-
ment they called on Rev: j: c. Smith,
D. D., of the Forth Presbyterian
Church, who saw no plausible objec,
ton to the request, and in his good
natured way tied the knot and sent
them off rejoicing, whittier, he knew
not. But we know! They went to
| the Continental Hotel, where they
took room.
The next morning the detective and
the father called at the hotel, and
were informed that the party hau been
there and left about an hour in car
riage. The Alexandria boat was then
patronized, the ancient burg reached
and thoroughly searched, but no
trace of the fugitives found. The
father was disheartened, and, although
he did not give up the search, return
ed to this city, where he remained
over night. During the night they
got clue to the whereabouts of the
truants, and took the first boat for
Alexandria, where the arrived about
eleven o'clok.. They proceeded to
| Iu6 mousse WNeTe llC paTlleS were
stopping, and were informed that Mr..
Altman was not in, and that Mrs A.
could not be seen. The officer, how
ever, informed the landlord that his
companion was the father of the girl,
and that lie must see her. They were
then shown up stairs, and the meet
ing between the sorrowing parent and
the apostate daughter is said to have
been truly affecting. AS the door
was opened and she saw her father
the bride exclaimed, Father, we are
legally married." and burst into tears.
The father, equally affected, upbrad-
ed her for act, and forbade her to cal
him father again, as she had disgrac
ed both him and her mother.
A dialogue was carried on between
the two amid their cries and sobs
which was only interrupted when the
landlord declared it was attracting
too much attention aud must cease
The father turned to go, and as he
did so, cast fond look at his daught
er, and to her frantic "Good by faith
er," said !: II will go home, put Grape
on my hat, and mark you on the re
cord, Died Sept. 10Th 1871 The
