Married In Haste to Repent at Leisure
The sequel to the elopement Of Miss
Nellie Hubbard, the youngest daughter
Of ex.Goy. Hubbard, and her marriage to
her fathers coschman, Frederick Shepard
at Hartford, four years ago, has just been
made known to her friends, who learned
recently that she had secured a divorce
from her husband. The story Of Miss
Hntbard's hasty action in deceiving her
father and marrying man so far beneath
her, not only in the social, but 10 the in.
tellectual. sca's, has had the ending which
such stories generally do have. Miss
Hubbard. who was at that time young
girl scarcely Is years of age, was secretly
married u Shepard at Westfield, Mass.
March IL. 1870 while her fathers family
were absent from Hartford Shepard. who
was abont thirty years old, had acted as
coachmau for Ex.gov. Hubbard for about
year aud u half. SO far Ms his character
went. very little could be urged against
him, except that he bad formerly been q
hackmau, a fsct ON which it was argued
that he must have been accustomed to as.
sociate with characters Of doubtful moral
ity. He was q young fellow OF good ad.
dress, aud did not drink or swear, but he
was very illitefate. Miss Nellie under
took to teach him to read and write. and
while engaged in this lsudable effort TO
beneti, his condition. she lost. or imagined
that she lost, her heart. The fact OF the
marriage was not made known to ex-Gov.
Hubbard until March 20, II days after the
ceremony, when the marriage certificate
was sent to him by the groom's parents.
His daughter was preparing to leave the
house TO join her husband when this doc.
nment was placed in his hands. The
heart broken father confronted her with
the certificate, and she then candidly ac-
knowledged that she was married to Shep.
ard, declared with the enthusiasm OF .
woman ia love that her husband was fully
worthy Of her. and left the house to join
him, despite the attempts OF tie grief.
stricken father TO restrain her. From that
time 10 this, Nellie's name. 1t is said, has
been forbidden word in the household
OF ex-Gov. Hubbard. The old gentleman
disc ned the girl who had hitherto been
his fayoritc child. and positively refused
TO receive any communication from either
her or her husband.
After the sensation created by her mar.
riage bad died away, Mrs. Shepard fell
quietly on, Of sight OF her former aristo-
cratic friends, and she would have been
almost forgotten but for her proceedings
TO secure divorce. which have once more
revived the memory OF her romantic mar
riage. After the wedding the couple re.
NAMED in Hartford for about two years.
For few days they kept themselves per.
feciiy secluded, and Shepard feared to
shou himself IN public les, be should be
assaulted by bis former master and father.

The preparations for the coronation Of
the Russian car are OF an extraordinary
character, owing 10 recent and ferocious
threats by the Nihilists. That these
warnings have inspired great fear and
dread on the part of the authorities cad
not be doubted. since the arrangements
are made with the necessity OF protecting
the sovereign from the anarchists as the
chief consideration. The latest measure
OF security Is said 10 be the ennobling OF
40, 900 men. taken from the ranks OF the
army, to form body guard to the emper-

men will pc dressed in citizens clothes,

peace was destined TO be shattered in New
Haven. Mrs, Shepard became lirel Of her
unlet,ered husband. and they began to
find that their tastes in almost everything
ran in counter directions. Shepard at
tended strictly to business. and Mrs. Shep.

by New Haven society. showed her con-

beautiful woman naturally attracted adj
mirers, and among them one is said 10 be

Haven, aud another millionaire OF New
York, who frequents the Turf club in that
city. Shepard became jealous OF his wife,
with OF without reason, and the result was
that the couple separated several months
ago and have not lived together since.
When the breach occurred Shepard went
to live AZ hotel, aud his wife remained at
the cottage with her child. The husband
called frequently to see his child, and on
sueh occasions Mrs. Shepard left the two
together Some four months ago she gave
up her cottage aud went to live in the
Selden House at New Haven. The breach

Some three months since, when the rumor
that she was about to seek for divorce
was first spread, friend Of Shepards
spoke to him on the subject. He cried
like baby then, and said that he had al
ways been true to her, and should always
love her jevotedly. He acted like child

lieve that his wife would ask for divorce
and seemed to be confident that she would
ultimately return to live with him.
1t is thought by some that Mrs. Shep.
ard, having disembarassed herself of her
plebeian husband. will be welcomed back |
to her fathers house, but the general opin-
ion is that ex.Gov. Hubbard will never re.
