pretty immigrant girl named Eliza Heinz landed
at Castle Garden. In a day or two she will
start for Michigan as the wife ora prominent
builder of that State who is worth at least So,
0O0 Eliza is twenty-five years of age and
comes from Hamburg. She was dressed very
we'll and had a little money in herpu when
she landed at Castle Garden. She had heard
rumors that a lone immigrants woman was not
safe even in New York, and, seeing a. benevor
lent-looking gentleman in the Castle Garden
landing bureau she went to him and asked
what she had better do in order to obtain a
situation, The, gentleman was much pleased
with the girl, and told her that he had merely
entered the garden to call on his friend, ex-
Assemblyman Niglutsch, who is in the registery
department, but he believed that he could find
her place in the household Of friend of his in
Westminster county. The place was secured
for Eliza. who has since received a. number of
calls from the benevoleRty looking gentleman
who secured the place for her. The aequaint-
ance resulted IN an engagement, and in. a few
days the pair will be married. Mr. Niglutscn
says that he cannot give the name of his friend
at present, but hecan vouch for the fact that he
has considerable property and stands we'll in
Michigan.
