| A Little Romance that Has Been the
Subject or Gossip Among ihe Hsrd-
SON Street Foundryme Attempt
to Patch Up u Peace with Her Father.
The boilermakers and foundrymen on
Hudson street and all along the river front
have been talking for the last week over an
elopement in which one OF their own num-
! Der is interested. The firm OF McWilliams
! & Brown own a large boilermaking estab-
lishment at the foot of Essex street, and
both the members are men of considerable
means. Two years ago they took into their
employ George Andrews, good looking
young chap about twenty-four years Of age.
Mr.. McWilliams has q daughter, a rudy
blonde, two or three years younger. She
had not visited the boiler shop very much
before Andrews began work there, hut her
calls kept Increasing in frequency till Nc
Williams became convinced that his jour
neyman, Gardner. was the attraction He
even met her once in Gardeners company,
and peremptorily forbade continuance OF
the friendship. The effect of his rigor was
that their meetings were only little more
secret than they had been before.
Ten days ago Miss McWilliams left home
to 60 to New York on shopping expedi-
ton. 1t was noticed that she arrayed her
self in gay and festive attire as her ward
robe supplied. Her parents looked for her
return that night in vain /; and when, on
going 10 his shop the next morning, Nc
Williams learned that Gardner had not re-
ported for duty, he was easily led to
associate him with her disappearance. He
hunted out Gardeners folks in New York,
and finally found his young employee and
his daughter living together at the house
of one of Gardeners relatives. Miss Nc
Williams told her father that on the day
of her disappearance she had gone to
Brooklyn and, with the aid of q minister,
had become Mrs. Gardner. McWilliams
tore around at high old rate, and left 10
high dudgeon. He vowed be never would
be reconciled, and that he never wanted
to see his pretty daughters face again.
Last night Mrs. Gardner was at the
home of her parents on Sussex and Warren
streets. She had come over. it is said, TO
mollify her angry father and had SO far
succeeded that it is understood that the
newly married couple are going to make
their home beneath his roof till he fits
them out at housekeeping. Gardner is now
working in New York, where he found en-
pioyment, but it is currently reported that
he is within few days to return to the
service of the boss whom he had made his
father-in- Law, TO knock out living for his
family.
Among the neighhors it was said last
evening that Miss McWilliams is only six
teen or seventeen years of age, and that
Gardner is fifteen or more years her senior.
MeWilliams is said to have dismissed Gard
ner from his service when he observed an
intimacy between him and his daughter.
Gardner thereafter came to this city in the
evening, and met the young lsdy's broth
ers. Through EN- the fact of his pres
ence in town was made known to her, and
ne played pool with them till old Nc
Williams WAS out of the way; then the
miss would tog herself out in her finest
and join her suitor In the neighborhood.
1t is currently reported that the young
lady effected her escape from the house,
on the night of her disappearance, by
letting herself oat of q second-story win
dow. &
Mrs. McWilliams was visited by rep
resentative of the TATTLER last night.
