of her daughters youth, Miss Kitty being then
not quite 16 years old. Mrs. Coggswell how
ever, gave her consent to correspondence be-
tween the young lovers, but insisted that there
should be no engagement of marriage until her
daughter should have arrived at the age OF IL
| yearf. The lovers separated Tor the season,
| but with the first excuse of warm weather Mr..

| watering place. Again the lovers met to ind
their love strong enough to break down all bar

a Mr.. Peck of Delaware, o., the finance of one
| of the Miss Cutters. The entire party came to
Milwaukee last Friday and dined at Mrs.
| CoggswelPs as the guests OF her
daughter. The party left here Friday even

he knew was to be the sequel. Last Saturday
/ morning Miss Kitty told her mother that she
was going out to call upon young lady frle nd,
and, like a good girl, she did go to see her
friend but she did not return home. The
hours passed, but Mrs. Coggswell did not feel
that she was still at her young lady friend S
house. Night came, and no tidings could be
had Of the missing girl. night of anxiety
and surprise was passed. and then came a tele.
graphic dispatch from Delaware o., announc

but were glad enough to hear that the missing
girl was safe even if she was married, and nov
} the situation is accepted very gracefully. TE'
affair has been kept profound secret here un
til this m orning and even now is known onl,
to the Immediate friends of the family, and
is by all odds the most interesting and sensa
tional elopement we have ever had from thi
