Miss Justine Levy is Il pretty Hebrew
Miss OF seventeen. Her father is dead,

employed in his store for the past four
years as bookkeeper To-day the fol-
lowing notice was published in local
paper, surrounded by a big black border.
"GoNE AND FORGOTTEN.
We mourn the marriage of our sister,
Justine Levy, to John Farr as death, and
disown her for life.
lSl9ned LEVY FAMILY"
This notice has created a great deal OF
comment, but not much surprise, as most
people here knew that the now welded
pair had done their counting under most
adverse circumstances. They met for the
first time in Mr.. Fleischer's store one day
last summer, They were introduced by
Mr.. Wormser, member of the Hebrew
ialth. Mr.. Farr, on several occasions,
called upon her at Fleischer's store. He
was requested to discontinue his visits.
Then he visited the house where she
boarded, and in a short time he was mott
fed by her mother and brothers to leave.
Finding that nearly every means of
meeting her was cut off, Farr paid his
attentions to her by telephone, but this
scheme was soon discovered and Mr..
Eleischer notified the company that he
would order his telephone removed if any
more "helloS" were heard for Miss Levy.
Farr was not baftled by all this but con-
tinued to communicate with her by means
OF a telephone in neighboring drug
store. The girl
OCCASIONALLY MET FAIR
at the house of a friend, but her brother
forbade this friend to entertain her. On
Wednesday evening last Miss Levy told
her sister that she intended to 90 to Mrs
Cohen's to write letter for her and left
the house. On the way she met Farr
and they went to an ice-cream saloon.
Her people soon became uneasy and be-
gan a search for her and her lover, and
about nine O'Clock traced them to the res
taurant. Farr locked the door The rel
atives Of the girl became Infatuated and
started to get into the room by another
entrance. In the meantime the lovers
left the house and eluded their pursuers
by scaling fence nine feet high. They
| Immediately started for Providence, a SUI
| buTb two miles from the center of the city
| Reaching the place about eleven O'Clock,
| they awakened the Rev. George L.
Guild, Presbyterian minister, and re.
quested him to marry them. For some
time he was reluctant to perform the cere-
| mony, but eventually Farr prevailed on
him TO proceed. Just before the clergy
man was about to pronounce the young
people man and wife, he stopped and
told them to consider the step they were
taking. The girl became frightened,
and it was not until two o'clock yester-
day morning that she summoned courage.
The solemnization was then completed
The bride and groom remained at the
house of the clergyman all night. Yes
terday morning the girls brother Henry
and younger sister went to the house of
Fairs father and demanded their sister
THEY MADE INsINUATIoNs
against young Mr.. Farr and the girl.
Mr.. Fairs father sent them from the
house. Just as they were leaving the
young mans sister threw bottle of ink
through the window at Henry Levy. He
was slightly cut by flying glass, and
claims that four men then chased him to
Scranton. Subsequently the parties and
their several relatives, male and female,
met at the Republican office, when a
stormy scene ensued. Mrs. Levy attempt
ed to chastiSe Farr, but was prevented
from doing so. Then Henry Levy asserted
that Farr had ruined his sisters reputa-
ton. At this Farr pulled off his coat and
Levy did the same. They closed with
each other, but were soon separated. No
reconciliation was effected, and the par
ties left the office in great anger. Henry
Levy went before Alderman Cawley and
had warrants issued for Fairs father
| for threats, and Mrs Jones, the young
mans sister, for assault. They gave bail
| for their appearance at court Mrs. Levy
also had warrant issued for her son-in-
law for threats which she alleges were
made by Farr some time ago when she
ordered him to cease his visits to her
| daughter. At the election on Tuesday
Mr.. Farr was elected member of the
Board of School Control from the Four
teenth Ward.
