A Marriage Broken Because the Bride
Preferred a Parson to n Priest.
Mr.. Henry Bergling, jr., son of the we'll
known merchant, and Miss Ida johnson,
daughter of Charles II. johnson, of East
Washington, have been engaged to be mar
ried for many months, and Tuesday night
was fixed for the ceremony, which was to
have taken place at st. Pauls Lutheran
church. and to which several hundred per-
sons were invited. By reason, however, of
the non-appearance of the bridal party the
marriage did not take place, and the assem-
bled guests departed to their homes marvel
ing at the course. Inquiry at the residence
of the anticipated bride, Miss johnson, corner
Fourth and G streets northeast, elected the
following story from members of the family /:
Mr.. Bergling and Miss johnson have been
companions from early childhood, and about
four months ago he proposed and was ac-
cepted, and preparations for the marriage
ceremony begun. Mr.. Bergling is . Catholic,
while Miss johnson Is a member Of the Lu-
theran church, but he always accompanied
her to the church Of her creed and arrange
ments were made by him to have the cere-
mony performed in that church. He even
went 30 far as to engage DR.. Domer and pro-
cured the printing of invitations. Mon
day morning Mr.. Bergling called upon
Miss johnson for the first time,

faiths, stating that he could not marry except
by the rites of the Catholic religion, and
asked her to go with him apd be privately
married by a priest. This proposition was
Indignantly rejected by Miss johnson, and,
after consultation with her relatives, she de-
termined to hold her lover to his first ar
rangement or break Off the engagement, and
as he remained determined she returned the
engagement ring and the betrothal was
broken. 1t being too late to
withdraw the invitations to the ceremony,
a large crowd gathered, as is stated, at the
church on Tuesday evening, but neither bride
nor groom appeared. Bergling has since
made every effort to renew the engagement,
but Miss johnson remains firm, and the
romantic affair is probably at an end. Mr..
Bergling, jr, was not to be found, and his
father stated that he had gone ON an excur-
sion. The latter upholds his sons course,
and claims that Miss johnson should have
| consented to Catholic ceremony.
