A BALTIMORE ROMANCE.
ErnauIt williams Trying TO Recover
Mis- Fortune After Marrying TO snit
Himself.


Mis- Fortune After Marrying 10 Salt
HIMSELF
BALTIMORE, December ga sensation
has been created in society circles here by
Ernault Williams, the son OF George ltaw-
kins Williams, President OF the Maryland
State Senate, marrying against his fathers
wishes, and then, yesterday, filing a mo-
ton in the Circuit Court to set aside deed
of trust by which he had conveyed to his
father all Of his property in consideration
of an annuity OF $1,000. In the motion
fled o.day the young man simply states
that the reasons for the transfer which ex.
isted at the time of signing the deed OF
trust do not now exist, and asks to be given
control Of his own property.
Early last spring it became known
In High Society
here that Ernault Williams was eng'red
10 be married TO Miss Lille Haz-l
this city. Young Williams is one OF Nhe
best known society men in Baltimore, ana
the announcement attracted conslderabie
attention, which did not wsRe when 1t was
runored that the elder Williams was bit
teTly opposed to the match. Tbe we'd
ding day was fixed for June 18th last.
Cards were issued, the bfide's trossean
was prepared, when few days beinre the
marriage tAs groom set sali Tor Europe
and society was lost in wonder. Later II
trsnspired that previous to
The Grooni's Departure
he had been compelled to make deed Of
trust TO his father Of his entire fortune,
amounting TO S2jO,0OO. inherited direct
from his grandfather, the late John Git.
tipgs. 1t is said that at the time there was a
stormy scene between father and son and
that the latter was persuaded into signing
the deed by Senator Williams, who had
algays exercised strong control over the
youpg man. When the groom-elect, aP-
parently much against his will, went to
| Kew York before sailing he wrote long
| letter TO his inancee assuring her OF his
| continued love and desire TO marry her
| and promise to speedily return. During
| his absence abroad he corresponded with
| her regularly, though his father, II Is said,
knew nothing OF
The LoyeLetfers
that passed between them.
| About a month ago Ernault returned
home and twen.y.four hours after his
arrival the cards were again issued for the
wedding, aud the happy couple were mar
| ried about three weeks ago in the presence
| of fashionable assemblage at the residence
| of the brides parents on Paul street: Inc
| Senator was not at the wedding, and from
| what can be learned he Is unrelenting and
refuses to recognize his son or transfer
back 10 him his property. The trial OF
the case will be very interesting and Is
eagerly looked forward to BY the legal pro-
fession and society folks.

A Truce of Peace.

WASHINGTON, December l6.-Simon Cam
eron has been very busy on the floor of the
Senate for two or three days. There are
rumors that his laboFS have resulted in the
healing of not few party breaches. He
spent two hours in the cloak room yester-
day with bis mouth close to the ear of Ma
hone. A little later Malone was discovered
at a private lunch table with Senator
Mitchell and this morning the Camerous,
father and son, had a conference with
Mitchell in the Naval Committee room, all
of which is interpreted by knowing ones to
mean that Malone has been employed as
conciliator of Mitchell, and that q truce is
being made up between Mitchell and his
opponents for the good of both.
