4 ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Chief Justice FulIer's Daughter
Makes a Runaway Match.
She Elopes With ]. M. Aubery,
Jr., Of Chicago, Ill.

A dispatch from Milwaukee, Wis, says:
Miss Pauline Fuller, fifth daughter OF Chief
Justice Fuller, was married during the night
at the Kirby House by a Justice of tho
Peace. The groom was J. Matt Aubery: Jr,
of Chicago and it was runaway match.
When the $50 st. Paul train arrived
petite woman was helped on the steps OF a
parlor car by q well-knit young man with
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 o'clock the young man came down
stairs and informed the clerk that he wanted
Justice of the Peace. Inside Of fifteen min
utes Justice Gregory arrived. There was
hurried consultation and then the young man
brought the blushing young lady forward.
The ceremony was brief one. The Justice
did not know that the bride was the daughter
of the Chief Justice Of the United States, and
neither did any of those who were present
outside of the contracting parties.
When the ceremony was concluded the OLD
Justice called for witnesses, and two young
men were captured in the billiard room anu ta'a
brought in to affix their signatures to the
necessary document. The knot being tied,
the Young man slipped bill into the Justice s
hand and Mr.. and Mrs. Aubery were es-
corted to the bridal chamber.
Mrs. Aubery, nee Pauline Fuller, is nine
teen years of age, highly educated and re-
markably handsome woman. j. Matt
Aubery, Jr.. is twenty three years Of age,
son of the General Western Agent Of tho
Merchants Dispatch Fast Freight line, and Is
employed in his fathers Office in Chicago.
The acquaintance of the bride and groom
began about three years ago. Justice Fuller,
who was then plain Lawyer Fuller, lived
with his eight daughters on Lake avenue,
Chicago, only short distance from the home
of young Aubery. The young people first
met at party given in the neighborhood: :
An attachment sprang up between them, and
when it became apparent, it was opposed by
the Fullers. Miss Pauline declared, how
ever, that she would marry whom she
pleased, and her father recognized her right
to do as she pleased. Mrs. Fuller, however,
yehemently opposed the match.
About this time Lawyer Fuller was
named as Chief Justice Of the United
States.
The story of the elopement of the young
pair is interesting. TO begin with, Aubery
hired two detectives to shadow him and his
afianced until they left Chicago. His object
was to learn if anyone was following them,
and to prevent the young lady from being
rescued.
Friends with whom Miss Fuller was
stopping in Chicago, had received instruc-
tions from Mrs. Fuller in Washington to
keep sharp watch on Pauline.
