The Fair Daughter Of an Irish
NobIeman EIopes With
HER FATHERS CoACHMAN
Who is Anything hut Handsome,
They Come to America and the
Old Gentleman is Airor Them
In u Later steamer.

BOsroN, Fob, PA pretty maiden,
daughter Of an irish noblemani attended
lg her fathers coachman, was a passeR-
ger on the Beaver line steamer Lake
Huron, which arrived here Friday night
from Liverpool, That was their relation
when they left Dublin. Now they are
husband and wife, and an angry father
is on the ocean, where his protest cannot
be heard, Superintendent Cornish, of
Pinkerton's force, tried hard to induce
the girl to await her fathers coming, but
she left the steamer Saturday leaning on
tho arm OF her former coachman, and
became his wife yesterday afternoon, :
The couple registered us "Mr. and Mrs.
Neil, " when they took passage on the
steamer. ltwas an assumed name aud
detectives refuse to give the right one.
They received word from London H6v-
eral days ago to DO on tho lookout for
the fugitiyes, and they wero on hand ut
the wharf when the steamer arrived.
They were instructed to detain the
couple until the fathers arrival, but Us
each was OF age they could snap their
fingers at the police,
AN IRISH PEERLESS.
1t was theame, old story Of girlish in
with the man who handled
the ribbons. The father holds Colo
nel's commission in the English army
md is absent from home much OF the
lime, The lady is u charming brunette,
lust past her majority, with pretty
lace and figure and a striking carriage.
II the statements OF her fellow passen-
gers are to be taken for anything she Is
ls RmiRble rs she is pretty.
While the girl 10 attractive and the
OF sweetness her guy
Lotharie is Just the reverse. He isa
man verging on two score, with hair
slightly tinged with gray, and has moth
ns about Bis personal manners that
would seem to be attractive to q woman.
His dress is that usually worn by gen.
leman OF the better class. He was u
rood Conversationalist, and in their
Ong drives the girl learned to love him.
Away from the eyes OF the father they
cit safe, though they could appreciate
he old gentlemans anger, should he
discover their advancing intimacy.
LOVE PREVAILED.
The coachman prevailed upon tho
maiden to leave Ireland and come with
lin to this country. The girl gave her
.onsent only after long and painful en-
reaties from her lover. They took pass-
ge on one OF the night boats that ply
between Dublin and Liverpool, and on
heir arrival In that city went othe off.
,era OF the Beaver line and engaged u
IeCond.Class passage on the Lake Huron,
which then lay in the stream waiting for
Ter cargo. They went on board OF the
teamer after securing passage, although
he Lake Huron would not sail for some
ime and the second.clnss quarters were
lot equal to the hotel accommodations
IN shore, They know it would be se-
.ure place for them, however, and their
'ursuers, II any there might be, would
lever find them.
When the father discovered tho elope-
nent he notified the Scotland Yard de-
eCtives, who easily traced the fleeing
'ouple TO the Beaver line offices, and
ound they had been notified oae day
Ifter the Lake Huron had sailed.
cLINGs TO HER LOVER.
The father then called on Pinkerton's
men in this country to intercept the
couple on tho steamers arrival in Bos.
on. Superintendent Cornish, Of the
Boston Office, easily identified tho
couple. He used all his persuasive
powers 10 induce the young lady to
cave her lover, but without avail.
She obstinately refused to leave him
md said: "My affection for him il
stronger than any love Of home and my
ather, cannot, / will not leave him.
Superintendent Cornish was accom-.
panied by the English Consul, who also
made fruitless effort to have the girl
return home. She declared again her
lndying affection for her lover, and In
spite OF the entreatigs OF the two men
she firmly refused 10 leave the boat with
hem. Again yesterday morning Mr..
Cornish made another attempt TO induce
Ter to place herself in his charge and
lwait the arrival Of her father, who is
IN his way to this country. Again she
refused, and at about o o'clock tho
couple left the Lake Huron arm.in.arm,
with the avowed intention of going to
.hG first minister and be married. They
have not been heard from since.
