On board the Fowler, which lef.
| Nashville. Tenn, recently, wero
young bride and groom on their way
home In jackson county, Tenn,
couple to whom much interest is at
tached in that section. They were mar
ried in Nashville. Several years ago
the brides father aud mother, who h ad
been living in Jackson county, left
there and moved to Illinois, where they
lived for n few years, Their married
life not being u happy one, they separ-
atod. The father left Illinois and set
tied in Massachusetts, where he en-
gagged in business, and in the course of
few years he had accumulated con-
siderable amount OF property, His bus
moss associate was II gentleman named
Cleveland, to whom he told
the story of his past life. He related
to him his unhappy marriage, the
separatiod between him and his wife,
and of his having an only child-a
daughtcr--who had remained with her
mother. About year ago he made his
will, in which he left his entire estate
to his daughterif she could be found and
in q short while thereafter he died. His
partner and friend, Cleveland, engaged
an attorney, who. after some delay, sue
cecded in locating her in jackson
county of this staue, where he found the
girl living on IL farm II few miles below
Gainesboro. She could not realize that
she was to be put in possession of so i'm
mense a sum as 100000. A young man
named Shores, who has lived in the
same neighborhood, had for some time
been playing the devoted to the girl be-
fore she dreamed of her good fortune,
and they had become engaged to marry.
On the girls return to Nashville from
her northern trip he went to Nashville
where the two were married.
Miss Hannah McDaniels, grand
daughter of the late Colonel Snider, of
Elizabeth, n. Y, one of the representa-
tive beauties of that place and mem
Der of st. Johns church. became at
tached to Il young man of Brooklyn, and
promised to marry him. Her parents
were decidedly opposed TO the match,
and to break it off sent their daughter
to Europe.
nent Miss McDaniels met at Veray,
Switzerland. the Baron Won Beust, a
cousin of the late German Minister to
France. The Baron became deeply in
fatuated with the American beauty and
was assiduous in his attentions to her.
AS the story runs he proposed marriage
to the young lazy. who frankly told him
her heart was already occupied by the
image of another. This, 1T seems, did
not discourage the Baron, who is de-
scribed as II fine type of manly beauty
and very wealthy,
He persisted in his suit and at last
Miss McDaniels reluctantly consented
to become engaged to him on one condi-
tion-namely that her former lover
would be found to have forgotten her.
The Baron joyfuliy accepted these
terms and confident that he had cap
tured the American beauty at once be-
gan on her departure, to make prepara-
tions for the nuptials, which were to be
solemnized in the United States.
Miss McDaniels, upon returning to
America, met among the first of her
friends the BroolIlynite for whom she
had first conceived an attachment. All
her former love for him returned more
strongly than ever, and he proved to be
just as devoted to her. She ut once
wrote to the baron, telling him of her
meeting with her old lover. and inform
ing him that European title had no
longer any charms tor her, and re-
quested him to consider the engage
ment at an end. Baron Won Beust was
just on the point of sailing to this coun-
try to claim hisintended bride when the
fateful letter arrived.
1t is said the parents of Miss McDan-
iels have at last become reconciled to
the union, and permitted her to become
formally engaged to the choice of her
heart. The nuptials of the reunited
couple will take place shortly.
The pretty little suburban hamlet of
Highland Park, N. Y, opposite New
Brunswick, on the Raritan river. has
of bride who refused to wed her lover
at the last moment, or until it was set
tied that her intended motherln-law -
should not live with her. The BRIDE
groom was John II. Hurlbut, IL sturdy
bootmaker of New Brunswick. Miss
Sadie A. Bennett Was the determined
bride. The clergyman VAS engaged to
blc uuc hnOI, uHu WSHJ w VIC DTluc 3
residence to conduct the ceremony. The "
guests had assembled and the wedding
presents were displayed.
When the bridegroom went to conduct
the bride to the parlor she set her tiny
foot down very hard and demanded to
know whether Hurlbut's mother in
tended to live with them. AS such an-
arrangement had been made he admit
ted that their future home would be with
Mrs. Hurlbut for Il short time.
"Then you don't wed mel" exclaimed
the pretty girl, and no amount OF ex-
postulation would change her mind.
The guests departed and the clergy
man good humoredly remarked that he
would call again. When Miss Bennett
was pressed for an explanation she said
she had read so much about mothers-in-
law chat she couldn't tolerate the mere
mention of one, although she could not
find any particular reason for disliking
Mrs. Hurlbut.
During the week friends persuaded
Miss Bennett to overlook her aversion,
and at last she consented to marry Mr..
Hurlbut. The wedding then took place.
