BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. ia sensation

Mr.. Ernault Williams, the son of the Hon.
Geo. II. Williams, president of the Mary
4; land state senate, marrying against his
! wishes and then to-day filiug a motion in
! the circuit court to set aside deed of trust
by which he conveyed to his father all of
his pro perty in consideration of an annu-
; ity of $4,000 per annun. There is an in
, teresting romance connected with the
affair. Early last spring it became known
in high society here that Mr.. Ernault VIII
liams was engaged to be married
| to Miss Lille Haslett of this
| city. Young Williams is one Of
the best known society men
! in Baltimore, and the announcement at
' tracted considerable attention, which cd
not Tane when it was rumored that Senator
Williams YVES bitterly opposed to the
d. match. The young man was apparently
/, determined to have his cwn way, and the
father to have his, and much curiosity VI, S
manifested to know how the affair would
turn out. The wedding day was fixed for
d. June IA last, cards were issued and the
BRIDES trousseau was prepared. when q
; few days before the marriage the groom
set sail for Europe. Society was lost in
wonder. Later it TRANSFERRED that pre-
vious to the groom's departure he had been
compelled to make deed of trust
to his father of his entire for
tune amounting to $25O,OOO. inherited
from his grandfather, the late Hon. J.
Cuttings. 1t is said that at the time there
was a stormy scene between the father and
son, and that the latter was persuaded into
signing the deed by the senator, who had
exercised strong control over the young
man. Some thought that this settled the
whole affair, and many of young Williams
! friends at the club condemned him for not
having courage enough to marry the lady.
whether the senator opposed the wedding
or not, but they have now altered their
opinion, as the best part of the story is to
come.
When the groom elect, apparently much
| against his will, went to New York, and
before sailing for Liverpool, he wrote
long letter to his fancee assur-
ing her of his continued love and
desire to marry her, and promising TO
speedily return. During his absence
abroad he corresponded with her regularly.
though his father, it is said, knew nothing
of the love letters that were passing be-
tween them, and had no doubt that he hsd
forever broken off the match. What was
his astonishment, then, when about a
mon. b ago Ernault returned homie, and
| twenty-four hours after his arrival the
cards we're again issued for the wedding,
and the happy couple were married about
three weeks ago in the presence of fash
ionable assemblage, at the residence of
the brides S2rents. on st. Paul street.
:, Of course The Senator was not at the
wedding, and from what can be learned he
is uhraienting and refuses to recognize
his e)p, or transfer back to him the prop
erty. The trial of the case will no doubt
be very interesting, and is eagerly looked
forward to by the legal profession and So
CT sty folks.
