He Tllss with the Daughter OF q fsicn New
YORK L.esther Merchant IN spite OF
Raps's Oppotitton,

Of Simon Schuer. the we'll known leather
merchant, who eloped with Henry Fried
man, the New street broker, has caused
the latest sensation in New York. Mr..
Scheuer, the father was found by
reporter in his warehouse, No. Al Walker
street, Wednesday morning. Mr.. Scheuer
said that his daughter met Friedman last
winter In society. He thought she was
first introduced to him on Now Years
Day, when his daughter was receiving calls
with some Of her friends at her home, No.
147 East Sixty first street. Friedman, who
is o good looking young fellow and very
successful, 1t is said, with the ladies, seem.
ed TO tako great fancy to Miss Scheuer,
and the acquaintance thus begun rapidly
ripened into an intimate friendship. He
called at the house very frequently and the
young lady seemed in no way displeased
with his visits.
"Why, he had not known her more
than mouth" gaid Mr.. Scheuer, "before
he came to me and asked my consent to
marry my daughter. This demand took
me completely by surprise and, not know
ing anything of the young man or his
family aud only having heard incidentally
that he was a stock broker, | replied that
could not give my consent until | had
satisfied myself that he was proper per-
son to marry into my family. Upon
questioning my daughter 1 found she was
not sverse 10 his attentions and she seemed
to be very much attached to him. My
inquiries, however, in regard to the
business relations OF MIR. Friedman were
not at all satisfactory and told him SO. l
made somo proposition to him of bust.
ness nature, which Ipropoee not to disclose,
but which he refused to listen to. | then
told him that he could not have my
consent.
FORBIDDEN THE HOUSE. ..-
"This was about six months ago. tie
continued his visits, however, until told
him he must never again come to my
house, and told my daughter to have moth
ing more to do with him. He promised to
obey me in this and since that time have
| mover heard anything more about the mat
ter. On Monday evening when / returned
home from business, my wife told me that
Sarah had been away from homo all day
| long. She went out about 9:30 in the
morning to do some shopping, she told her
mother in company with lady named
| Mrs. l.. Dipkelspiel, Of No. sol Madison
avenue, Mrs. Dinkelspiel was the wife of
an insurance broker and she was very init.
mate with my daughter, whom she met
this summer at Saratoga. They went
away together in carriage. OF course
was very much alarmed at first aud after
waiting several hours aud hearing nothing
| from her began to suspect the truth"
| " Did you have any suspicion that your
| daughter had been holding any commuui-
cation with Mr.. Friedman ?'
Not until she received a handsome
present from some person whose name she
| would not disclose.
| LEGALLY MARRIED. TO HAIRY.
| My suspicious were confirmed when a
| telegram was brought to the house about |
o'clock 10 the morning. 1t was sent from
| No. $50 Broadway and read I:
:" l was legally married to Harry last
evening. SARAH FRIEpMAN.'
my wife was terribly shocked at re
oeiying the news, and | was so angry that
l tore the telegram in two. We had no,
watched the girl at all, as she had beer
we'll brought up, and we thought she had
given up Friedman. She had good
offer OF marriage only short time ago
| from young friend of the family, which
she refused. This surprised US, but did no,
| arouse any suspicion that she was still in
fatuated with F. dman."
! " Have v" taken any steps to follow
her or find out where she has gomez"
/" No, SIR" replied Mr.. Scheuer, EN-
phatica ~. Il would not go two block
70 tinl her. She has taken this step oil
her own responsibility aud against tn
wishes OF her parents, and she must tax,
the consequences of her foolishuess.
