GALEsBURG, ILL.,, has recently been
enjoying social sensation Of unusual mag
nitude, being nothing less than the elope-
ment and marriage of Miss Nellie Chase,

circles of society, with a negro named Sam
Monroe, formerly employed as coachman by
her brother n-law, the Rev. G.. H. Higgins,
Rector of the Prairie Street Episcopal
Church, with whose family Miss Chase re-
| sided. The elopement was planned and car
| ried out in the orthodox method SO often
described in novels, the young lady making
| her exit through a window at night and join
| ing her dusky lover, who took her to the res
idence of a friend of his residing some miles
out of the city, where they were legally mar
| ried by Justice of the Peace named Mills.
The following morning the young lady's
friends discovered her flight, and were not
| long in ascertaining the facts in the case. A
warrant was issued for Monroe, charging
| him with stealing the sachel which Miss
Chase handed out the window. An officer
arrested him at Mills's house and bore him
from his apparently happy bride to the Knox
County Jail, but after examination
he was released upon bail. The bride was
taken charge of by her mortified friends and
placed under surveillance. A few mornings
afterward the lady was escorted to the train
by her sister, brother law and three broth.
ers, with the intention of taking her away.

the depot and mounted the platform
of the car with the intention of entering

intended victim, but one of which unfor.
tunately hit a bystander, Mr.. George Crock
er, inflicting slight wound.
