| BlnI Ol O6JeCIlV6 O6aCOn, or Bridge, and Giovanni P. Morosini, Jr., elder | brother of the misguided girl, were engaged | searching all the hotels and boarding houses of | Yonkers, and as many of those III New York | city as the two latter men could reach. It was I settled beyond doubt however, that they had | been married in New York city,
 There is small brick German Methodist | Church in East Fitty-ffIh street, 8 few doors | from First avenue, New York. Rev. Gustav | Hausser, Pastor of the church, lives in the ad- | joining house. While MT. Hausser's children l were coming home from schoI Tuesday after
 noon, they observed a young man call young
 woman's attention to the sign, and then pull | the door bell of the minister's house. Mrs. | Haussrr admitted the couple and sent child | out to fiud MT. Hausser, who came home in | half an hour. The young man said, in Ger
 man. that he wished to be married to the lady
 with him. There was nothing in the young | couples appearance to arouse the clergymans | suspicious. He induced two German women | in the house to act as witnesses, and began to
 read the Methodist form of marriage service ! in German.
 | The newly-made husband said his name was John Ernest Hilskamp, living at Mo- 139 West | Ihil ty-second street, New York city, native
 of Germany, and 30 years old on his next brth- | day. The young woman's name ran half way
 across the narrow page of the record book | Victoria Agnes P. Morosini. | The coachman was originally pianomaker, | but changed his occupation when advised by
 physician to seek outdoor work for his health, | and become coachman for the broker at Yon-
 kers. He was about S6 years old, although he | called him,etf 25. He was not the handsome | and attractive fellow that has been pictured
 The unattractive fellow began to court the | favor of his employers daughter soon after | entering MT. Morisinis service.
 l Her father gave her the horse and told her to
 be kind to the animal and try to yin bis affec | tion. He suggested to her that it would be wise
 to visit he horse frequently in his stall and feed | him with Jumps of sugar. She followed her
 fathers advice. When she visited the stable | the coachInan was always there and he never
 missed an opportunity of holding conversation | with her. He always entered the stall of the | horse with her. evidently desiring to convey | the impression that they were talking about | the horse. The elder brother, Giovanni, saw | these frequent conversations and noticed that | the coachman was placing himself upon foot | ing of familiarity with the girl Giovanni kept | an eye on the proceedings and always strolled | down to the stable after his sister had gone | When he approached the coachman always | moved silently away; but in various ways he
 contrived to show the young man that he re- | sented the espionage. Giovanni told his father | that the man was too familiar, but MT. Moro
 sini, who was not suspicious, laughed and | paid no attention to his sons words.
 i The frequent horseback excursions of Miss | Morosini were also favorable to the coachman. He mounted horse and rode forth as attend | ant groom. It is now remembered that he was
 constantly seen riding close up to Miss Moro | sini, pretending to arrange her riding habit | When she rode out in the carriage she fre- | quently dropped something. This gave the | coachman an opportunity to stop his horses and | exchangea few words or expressive glances
 with her. Once, when her younger brother, | A. P. Morosini, was riding with her, she
 begged him not to sit so close to her, at the | same time watching the coachman apprehen- | sively. The brother now believes that the girl | was afraid of 6chelling.
 | None of the family could give any reason | why girl of Miss Morosinis accomplishments
 should be captivated by schelling. It was as- | certained, however, that MT. Morosini was in | the habit of keeping his daushtars in the | Btrictest seclusion. He allowed them no male
 society at all. Signor Cantoni, his banker, | said 'tlt may be that Victoria's having been kept so much aloof from young mems l ing infatuated with the coachman." The members of the family said that Miss Vic-
 toria's mental condition was perfectly healthy. | While Victoria Morosini was & student at
 Mount St. Vincent she was the star at the public exhibitions She was an admirable singer, and her skill as performer on musical instruments was phenomenal AS pianist she ranked far above all the other pupils,
 and she played the harp and violin.
 After leaving school it is said, she of all, the trombone Surpassing all in music, | she did not keep pace with her classmates in other studies, and so, year after year, she
 failed to graduate. Her father had long been
 the business adviser of the Sisters of | Charity at Mount St. Vincent, but his in-
 terest in their welfare began to wane
 on the day she failed to graduate with l the class with whose members she had en- tered the school He fanoied that an in- I justice was done to her and to himj that as he was wealthy and paid well | for her advancement in music the
 Sisters were intent on retaining | her as a source of income. His ex- postulation with them having no effect, I he took his daughter away from their | care, and he has since been very bitter in his denu, citation of the cupidity of "those women | with the big hats" After leaving school Vic | toria studied singing under Agramonte, but
 has had little opportunity to display the | quality of her voice owing to the domestic | habits of her father and his unwllingness to
 allow his children to depart from his neighbor- | hood.
 Victoria was the light of her fathers eyes, | While she was at school he visited her two or
 three times @ week, and wrote to her sometimes
 twice day. addressing her as My adored
 angel" When he visited her she would skip | over 8 balustrade to meet him, and he would l greet her with kisses on her mouth, eyes, | cheeks, ears, and hands. Their meetings were | source of wonder to all the girls, and a source
 of not little irreverent amusement to some of | them.
 All accounts agree that young Hillskamp is
 an honest, hard-worklng, ten perate man. He | was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, in 1854
 His name was Schelling and he came to this
 country at the age of with his mother, his
 father being dead. The following year his
 mother married Mir. Hillskamp, who
 adopted the boy and gave him his name "a custom common among Germans The boy began to learn pianomaking
 with his stepfather, but, being in deli
 cate health, was ordered by 8 physician to seek
 outdoor employment. He then became a
 coachman- Subsequently he went out West
 and worked two years on farm in Illinois. It is the experience gained there that he intends
 to turn to use in the future. On re- ] turning he again became & coachman,
 and finally entered Mir. Morosini's employ.
 His father says he has $1 900 saved from
 his earnings. He was industrious and
 prudent. A point in his favor is that he
 has never asked aid from any of his rel-
 atives. He was not wasteful of his money,
 and yet was proud of his personal ap- pearance and always took care to have his
 clothes well made. Until he was fifteen years
 old he attended private German-American
 school, in the Nineteenth Ward. He could
 speak both English and German excellently
 and could write well in either language. Mr.
 Hillskamp did not know why the young man
 had resumed his original name of Schelling.
 MT. Hlllskamp thought that Mr. Morosini's
 system or secluding his daughters from male
 society was the cause of her falling in love
 with his boy. He knew positively that
 she had pressed the matter with more
 earnestness than the ex-coachman.
 The young man had not pressed the
 suit until he received decided encouragement.
 MT. Hili1kamp denied that the bride had car
 ried away any jewelry. When he saw
 her she had only 8 pair of diamond
 earrings, which were worth few
 hundred dollars. He was particular to
 urge the point that he was well pleased
 with his daughter-in-law. He was also well
 pleased with his son, who was manly and inde-
 pendent, and asked no assistance from any
 one He would support his wife comfortably,
 and they certainly loved one another, and, the
 old gentleman believed, would be very happy.
