An interesting case ofslove at first sight.
says the New York World, has been di-
vulged by Clerk Niglutsch at Castle Gar
den, who has watched the progress of
Cupid since it first played with the hearts
of the couple in question, some three
weeks ago. The lady is Miss Eliza Heinz,
% years old, who arrived at Castle Garden
alone from Hamburg and while waiting
for employment met the gentleman who
inspired her with the mysterious feeling
of love. This gentleman, who desires that
his name be kept secret, lis contractor
and builder in Michigan and is worth at
least $4,000. He visited the Garden TO
see MIR. Niglutsch, personal friend, and
while waiting for that gentleman, who
had stepped outside, he felt scft touch
on his arm and a sweet voice inquired,
"Can you tell me, sir, where l can find
employmentY'
The girl was very pretty, with bright,
large blue eyes and a wealth of blonde
hair, while her attire, although coarse,
was far neater than the gentleman had
seen anywhere among the immigrants.
He was struck Immediately by the beauty
and simplicity of the girl and with a view
to OBTAINING her while he replied to her
question that she had better wait until
Mr.. Niglutsch came in.
"But L don't know him." replied the
girl, and her voice seemed sweeter than
music to the entranced builder.
''Wait right here with me and we will
see him soOn," he answered, and then be-
gan short conversation, during which
he learned that Eliza was an orphan and
that her mother at her death had left her
a small sum of money and had advised
her to come to America.
81 know the value of money" continued
the girl, s'and l must save as much as l
can, because, you know, L will need it in
this strange country. Although used to
better living, | came over in the steerage
and now want employment in a good
family.v
just at this moment Mr.. Niglutsch ap-
peared and his friend, drawing him aside,
eXcitedly told him of his feeling for the
young girl and of his ambition to marry
her. 1t was finally decided that Eliza
should go with her newly found friend to
the home OF a relative of his in Tarry-
town. The gentleman said nothing to her
of his love, but went to his home in Mich
igan. He could not forget her, although
he says he tried to, and finally he wrote
her long letter, telling of his infatuatiOn
and asking her hand in marriage. His
joy knew no bounds when he received an
answer from his adored one saying that
she had loved him from the moment their
eyes met in Castle Garden.
Hastily packing his satchel he came on
to Tarrytown, arriving in this city on
Tuesday night. Yesterday morning the
couple were married and started late in
the afternoon for their future home in
Michigan.
The bridegroom is a wldower, % years
old, but has no children. He is well
known in the city where he resides, and
for that reason requested that his name
be kept secret. He was very happy yes
terday and declared that he considered
himself the luckiest man alive in secur-
ing, by such an accident, a woman so
beautiful and sensible. Although matri-
monial adventures are numerous in the
Garuen, all declare the latest one to be
the most interesting ever known within
the old walls.
