near Youngstown, Mahoning County,
and in the course of an active business

Running on the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad was en-
ployed, as a passenger conductor, Alr.
Frank Pattison. He met Miss Roswell
on the train frequently, and became ac-
quainted with her. Acquaintance led
to friendship, friendship to intimacy,
and intimacy ripened into love. Ros-
well objected to the association of his
daughter with a railway conductor, and
forbade Pattison the house. Secret
meetings were arranged between the
enamored pair, but seeing no hope of
receiving the consent of the obdurate
parent, they determincdt to elope Pat
tison quietly obtained leave of absence
from the manager of the road, and Miss
Roswell obtained her, fathers permits
sion to visit friend in Garfield, a
neighboring town. She did not return,
and the father, filled with the gravest
apprehensions, set out to seek her. IoShe
had not been to Garfield at all, and
hearing just at this time that Pattison
had got leave of absence, he started in
pursuit. In the mean time the fleeing
couple had crossed the country to Enon
Valley, where they took the ( main
stem of the. Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad. Their train was
belated, and the one upon which Mr..
Roswell was following overlook them
just outside of Allegheny, and the two
trains consolidated, and were taken into
Pittsburgh. In. some mysterious way
both parties escaped seeing each other,
until Just as the, train on the Pennsyl-
vania road was about to pull out from
the depot Pattison saw his father in-law
boarding thelsamel train, and without
waiting for bag or baggage, the lovers
slipped out of the Car at the other end
and saw the train which bore their pur-
suer speed eastward. ,.-- b,s.,oFt ,ro4
Marriage was determined on at once.
The Rev. DR.. Grimes performed the
ceremony, and the couple took the

The party reached Philadelphia, spent
a few days, and yesterday morning
took the limited express for Washing
ton, intending to go home over the Bal
tmore and Ohio Railroad, But the IA
ther had struck the trail and received
about the route Pattison
would probably pursue; so he watched
al the trains through the Charles Street
station. sliiv1alusJ 20 gRia1izd .-'nsnd
Yesterday when. the limited express !
rolled in he was there, and, in the,win-
