Father ana then from her Lover.
CHICAGO. Sept. ga runaway couple
.atliscons0lateiy in the Central Ponce
rtsron here today. the heroine was a
taIl. slender Jewess named Rachael MSy-
a- whose father, Solomon Mayer, is a
wealthy clotnier of Goshen, Ind. Aora-
ham Michaels, aged - years, was en-
Moved as a clerk by Mayer and fell des-
nerstely in love with his daughter. Miss
MAYER is a lovely brunette, educated and
accomplished, and not yet Is, though IN
enDearance she is a trlAe older. She was
moi Indifferent to the attentions OF the
clerk, who is himself quite good looking
Dut Michaels met with an answering foe
totbe mlflment of bis matrimonial hopes
in the person Of the girls father.
Mir. MAYER was obdurate, and, when he
saw that the couple We're becoming at
tached 10 each other, resolFed TO put a
.top TO the intimacy by commanding
s1icbapls TO cease his attentions to the
Young lady. The latter was ordered rot
ia hold any conversation with Michaels,
INIT the fathers commands We're disre-
gor1pd by the lovers. They met clandes-
finely. and the circumstance that the
fat6er,s objections 10 Michaels' suit were
on account of his poverty only served to
render the girl more attached to him.
The upshot Of it was an elOpement, and
on saturday the Jewish Sabbath Miss
MAYER absented herself from home for
several hours, her excuse being that she
was going to the synagogue. Michaels
was not employed during that day, and
his disappearance attracted no attention.
The evening train bore the couple 10 this
CITY. where Michaels has a sister living.
II was his intention to secure marriage
license and have the ceremony performed
at once, but upon arriving here he found
the County Clerks office closed and he
was told he must put off his marriage till
Monday. The young lady stopped With
Aicnaels' sister, who was also in the plot,
and both ladies were kept very busy max
Ing preparations for the wedding. This
was set for an early hour on Monday fore
noon, but the Arrangement was marred by
the activity of old MIR. Mayer
FOLLOWED BY HER PARENT.
Becoming suspicious at the prolonged
absence OF his daughter, he instituted
search as soon as he learned that she and
Michaels had taken the train for Chicago.
He followed after them on the next train,
and arrived here this morning. The ser
vices of Detectives Hass and BOnield
were hOOu GhublGtl anu TIE COuplt were
brought 10 the Central station. While
Michaels was sitting IN one room the
Young lady and her father had a tearfus !
interview in another room. Miss Mayer
expressed sorrow for her disobedience,
and, after two or three hysterical out
bursts, SAID she wished to be taken back
home again. She said she did not wish to
marry Michaels, and while the latter was
racking his brain in the effort to devise
some plan to eXtricate himself from his
unpleasant situation, the girl and her
ather lett the station together.
Mchaels did not learn for upward of
an hour that they had gone away. Then
he was furious, and as he was not under
arrest and Mayer did not wish to prose-
cute him, the young man bounded out on
tie street, v0wing he would secure pos
session Of the young lady by legal pro-
cess. But as he only had 50 in money, no
lawyer would take hold of the case, and
the unfortunate man was doomed TO dis
appointment. Miss Mayer and her father
left for their home this evening. Michaels
IS still here.
