The Groom In Captivity and the Bride
Hiding From Her Mother.in.Law.
New York, August 2O.-There was an
unfortunate young married couple in
Forsyth street last night. They were
Louis Raphael, a clothier by occupation
and Sarah Rosenberg, whom Louis had
married in Court last Saturday afternoon.
Louis is % years old, OF medium size,
and wears black moustache. He was
kept a captive by his parents in q room
on the second floor at No. 45 Forsyth
street, while his bride was compelled TO
hide across the street in Mrs. Morris
back parlor. Sarah, who is IS years old,
a brunette and very pretty, was signing
for her Louis, while Captive Louis was
sighing for his Sarah. 1t was case
where mother-in-law objected to the
marriage.
Shortly after o'clock last night some
OF the neighbors Of Mrs. Raphael called
at the house to congratulate the lady on
her sons marriage. This was the first
news she had received OF the wedding.
Mrs. Raphael became furious and rushed
up the street TO find Sarah. "Where is
that girl? Let me get at her. oh, let me
pull her black hair" shouted the ex-
cited woman. In few minutes over
500 men, women and children were
Blocking Forsyth street, the news soon
spreading that Louis had married his
beloved Sarah. The people evidently
approved OF the match aud were full OF
praises for the pretty Sarah and hand
some Louis, us they called the newly
married couple.
When reporter called at the house
OF Mr.. Raphael late last night there was
a large gathering in the front room OF
No. 40 Forsyth street. Mrs. Raphael
talked, her husband and half dozen
other people talked, while poor Louis
was sitting near the open window cast
ing Sleeps eyes across the street where
pretty Sarah was hiding. Louis while
in the presence OF his parents denied
that he had married Sarah. He said
that he had known her for over two
years, and that he loved her very much,
but his parents objected TO the match.
81 don't want Louis to marry that
girl" said Mrs. Raphael. "She is too
young, only 10 years old, and then when
my son gets married | want him to mar
ry in church. That's my religion" and
with that Mrs. Raphael, Sr., crossed her
hands in front OF her breast and allowed
her fierce black eyes to gaze heavenward.
Louis said he had been anxious to marry
his sweetheart, but that his people OBJ
jected to the match. Before leaving the
room Louis asked the reporter whether
he could marry anybody, and was sorry
to receive n negative answer. He was
anxious to make the marriage just as
binding us he knew how.
After leaving Louis under the care .of
his parents, who did not even allow the
son to accompany the reporter down the
stairs, the latter went across the street
to No. 10 Forsyth strcctwhere he found
Sarah locked up in room on the third
floor OF the house. After perceiying
that the mother-in-law was not within,
sarah admitted the reporter to n cozy
little parlor. She admitted that she was
married to Louis, but afterwards denied
it again. The repnrter told her how
Louis was kept captive across the street,
and the pretty young wife could not
help sighing. She said: II am eighteen
years old, and they have no rightto OBJ
jeCt to the match ut all.
