ANOTHER ROMANCE.
The Grandson of Governor Bishop, Of
Ohio, Welded to His Fathers
Servant.

Cincinnati Times.l
Last Thursday the Times quietly.
chronicled the marriage of Mr.. w. +.
Dickinson and Miss Kate Braser. The
groom is the son of Mr.. w. S. Dickin-
son, son-in-law of Governor Bishop,
and head Of the well known firm of w.
S. Dickinson 4 Co, dealers in hats,
caps, ETC., on the corner of Pearl and
Vine streets. The brides father is
an employe at the water works, and
she was a domestic in the Dickinson
family when the young scoin of the
house was smitten with her charms.
The parents got wind of the affair,
and took steps to interrupt the
course of true love. They deter
mined to send the young man to
Europe, and made all preparations for
that object, purchasing tickets, pro-
viding funds, etc. The lover took it
all quietly and submissively, and when
the time came babe his parents an af-
f%ectionate farewell, and started on his
European trip. His Europe, how
ever, was a long way this side of the
Atlantic coast, and when fairly out of
sight of parental watchfulness he
turned back and spedt to Miss Braser,
and together they sought the Office of
the clerk of the probate court, and
made application for a license. Be-
fore the papers were issued, Mr.. Will
liam Bishop, brother-in-law of the
young mans father, made his appear
ance, and further proceedings were
stopped in hal direction.
The lovers were not to be baked.
however. The shores of Kentucky
were invitingly near, and her officials
are proverbially kind to fugitives from
parental Introduction. So the pair
fastened across the suspension bridge,
and being of the age required by law
had no difficulty in procuring a license,
Squire Manson was called, and in the
presence of the clerk and his assistant
the two were united. They very SEN
sibly employed the provision that had
been made for the European trip in
setting themselves up housekeeping in
Covington, where they are now enjoy
ing the delights of married life. w
have not heard any serious demonstra-
ton or displeasure on the part CT the
parents since the marriage, and it is
probable that the father and mother
have concluded to make the best Of
the situation, forgive and receive the
Grant pair again into their good
graces.
