| Lover Meets His Bride by Accident, in
the Streets of Kansas City.
From the Kansas City Journal, May lG.
"The course Of true love never did run
smooth, " is dreadiuliy trite expression.
but 1t is a remarkably true one, aud truth
has been illustrated by little drama
which has been on the boards here for a
week or two-in very forcible manner.
The actors IN this rare mixture Of comedy
and tragedy are Mrs. Joseph Verbiskey,
wife of Capt. Verbiskey, of TT. Ehott, Tex,
Surgeon L G. Underwood, of Ft. Stanton,
N. NJ. and Mrs. Anna Underwood who,
by the strenuous efforts of her mother, was
Miss Anna Verbisiey up to the hour Of s
o'clock last night.
Ten years ago, when DR.. Underwood
was young surgeon, perhaps twenty-five
years OF age, he was at the same post with
Capt. Verbi5key and his family, and there
first saw little Anna, then little child of
nine years. Even then lie became deeply
interested in the girl, and after she had
finished her education and grown TO be Il
handsome, refined lady, that interest 4sep-
enpd into the most passionate love, which
feeling was rCclprocated by the young
lady. The watchiul parents observed the
state Of affairs, and used every means in
their power to prevent the young folks
from meeting or corresponding with each
other.
This has been demonstrated to be i'm.
possible u million times, and the "stem
parients' had their trouble for their pains
The young folks carried on n secret cor
rc9pOnlcnce and met claudcstinely, by the
and Of interested friends. They plighted
their troth, and concluded TO be married
at the earliest opportunity. This oppor-
tunity seemed to lie at hand when, on the
ID OF March, Capt. Verbiskey departed
for Europe. Communication is difficult,
and consumes much time on the southern
frontier, and so it was the middle of April
before the affair had arrived at such stage |
as to alarm Mrs. Velbislicy. She then A.
ccrtaincd that the elimination Of this |
dreadful love story was Mt hand, and on
{ he Goth took her daughter and left TT |
Elliott for TT. Dodge. This dodge wasn't |
her best forte, so they departed for this
city. Mrs. Verbiskcy very shrcwdly sur
missed that the doctor would not suspect
that they had stopped here. bnt w6pld
search for her in thc east. either at Rich.
mond, Va, or Marietta. o.. where hor
relatives live. The mother and dauohter
arrived here about three weeks ago, and
stopped first at the st. james, then at the
Of Mr.. I. NJ. james, and for the
past week at the May street house.
While at the st. james Mrs. Nerbiskty,
