From the Louisville Times.
An entertaining romance in real life was
enacted in this city Sunday, and lacks only
the final chapter, where everybody gets hap
PLY married, TO make the story complete.
About seven months ago Mrs Theresa vii
liams and her family moved to this city from
Memphis, Tenn, and occupied a resi-
dence on Walnut street, between Jackson
and Hancock. Mrs. Williams family con-
sists of four or five grown children, Of whom
Miss Eva is the youngest. She Is a very
pretty girl, just turning into her eighteenth
year, blithesome aud as happy as bird. She
is a brunette of the most decided type, with
big lustrous eyes, magnificent hair and a
complexion like the sunny side of ripe
peach. She was universally admired, and
not more for her grace and beauty of person
than for her intellectual gifts and charms of
manner. She had a number of suitors.
The favored one, however, was Mr.. Walter
Sherman, prominent young business man.
For some reason Mrs. Williams made up her
mind TO return with her family to Memphis
to live, and Sunday was the day set for their
departure. The household goods were re-
on the Granite State, which was advertised
to leave at II O'Clock on the trip down
from Cincinnati.
All this was very sad news to the two
young hearts which had longed to beat as
one. aud they set about devisnga plan to
thwart the design of the girls mother to part
them forever. Their intention was to have
Miss Williams accidentiy left in LOUISVILLE
while the rest of the family proceeded to
Memphis. With this end in view, and ex-
pecting the boat to pull out shortly after IL
O'Clock, Mr. Sherman approached Mrs. VIII
liams very blandly and suggested that they
should all take dinner at the Louisville hotel
together before parting. Miss Williams and
himself, he said. would proceed 10 The hotel
have the dinner arranged, and, when every-
thing was ready, would telephone for the
others. This was about IL O'Clock. Instead
OF going to the Lotel, the young people pro-
ceeded to the residence of Miss Williams
aunt, in the southern part Of the city, where
they intended to remain until the boat had
left. The boat did not leave until O'Clock.
In the meantime the hour for dinner came
aud the promised telephone summons had
not been received.
