MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 20, 1889. Miss
Pauline Fuller, fifth daughter Of Chief
Justice Fuller, was married here last night
at the Kirby House by Justice OF the
Peace. The groom was J. Matt. Aubery,
Jr., of Chicago, and it was a runaway
match.
When the half past six St. Paul train
arrived last evening petite woman was
helped off the steps of a parlor car by a
well knit young man with a smooth face
They were driven at once to the Kirby
House, where they registered. No room
was assigned to them and the lady and
her companion spent the early evening
in the hotel .parlors.
About nine o'clock the young man came
down stairs and informed the clerk that
he wanted Justice of the Peace. Clerk
Cole is well up on such affairs and assured
the young man that everything would be
arranged
Inside offifteen minutes Justice Gregory
arrived There was q hurried consulta-
tion, and then the young man brought the
olushing young lady forward. The cere-
mony was a brief one. The Justice didn't =

of the Chief Justice of the United States,

THE BRIDE.
Mrs. Auberey, nee Pauline Fuller, is
nineteen years of age, highly educated
aud remarkably handsome woman. j..
Matt, Auberey, Jr., is twenty three years
of age, son of the general Western
agent of the Merchants Dispatch Fast
Freight line, and is employed in his
fathers office in Chicago
AS near as can be learned the acquaint-
ance of the contracting parties began about
three years ago. Justice Fuller, who was
then plain Lawyer Fuller, lived
with his eight daughters on Lake avenue,
only short distance from the home OF
young Aubrey. The young people first
met at party given in the neighbor-
hood An attachment sprang up between
them and when it became apparent,
It was opposed by the Fullers.
Miss Fuller declared, however,. that she
father recognized her right to do as she
pleased Mrs. Fuller, however, vehem-
emily opposed the match. About this
time Lawyer Fuller was named as Chief
Justice of the United States. Mrs. Fuller
packed up and carried Miss Pauline
away to Washington with the Misses Full
Ter. About the 1st of last January Miss
Pauline informed her mother she was
nineteen years of age, and that she in
tended to make a trip to Chicago. Mrs
Fuller opposed the trip, but the girl was
firm in her determination, and few days
later she left, and since that time she has
been in Chicago visiting friends OF the
family.
THE ELoPEMENT.
The story of the elopement of the young
pair is interesting. To begin with,
Aubrey hired two detectives to shadow
him and his af1ianced until they left
Chicago. His object was to see If any one
was following them, and to prevent the
goung lady from being rescued. 1t was
early yesterday afternoon when he met
Hiss Fuller at Gunther's candy store.
They boarded the Milwaukee and st. Paul
train at half-past three O'Clock.
Friends with whom Miss Fuller was
stopping in Chicago had received instruc-
tions from Mrs. Fuller in Washington to
keep a sharp watch on Pauline, These
friends felt the honor of the trust imposed
and were ever vigilant.
1t seems that when Miss Fuller went
to Gunther's yesterday she was fol-
lowed. and Auberey discovered that she
had been watched. 1t was then that he
hired the two detectives and did some
travelling about Chicago. With the aid
Of his two hired shadows he was en-
abled to know when he had eluded his fol-
lowers.
How the Chief Justice Took 1t.
WASHINGTON, March 20, 1889. = Chief
Justice Fuller was found by representa-
tive of the United Press in the rob
ing room of the Supreme Court
shortly before noon today. He had just
donned his robes preparatory to entering
upon the judicial duties of the day.
He seemed II surprised and shocked
when the United Press dispatch
announcing his daughters marriage was
shown to him, and he said that he had
heard nothing Of the matter before he read
the first part of the story, and then thank
ing his informant for the information, he
retired to the inner room.
In response to a question put to him as
he was vanishing through the doorway,
he said that he had no statement
to make. It was currently report
ed in Washington recently that
Miss Pauline Fuller had been clan
destinely married to Mr.. Aubrey, and
that her father had asked a legal friend
Chicago. This friend had spoken to
aOung Aubery of his attentions to her and
