ELoPEMENT FROM IRELAND.
The Daughter of British Army Off
Ger Runs away with Her Coach
man
From, the Nev York Sun.

IMAM
From the Netc York San.
BOsToN, Feb. ga pretty maiden,
daughter of an Irish nobleman, attended by
her fathers coaclman, was pas enger of
the Beaver line steamer Lake Huron, which
arrived here last 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. Supt. Coraish
of Plnkertons force tried ha to induce
the girl to await her fathers coming, but
she lett the steamer to-day leaning on the
arm of her former coachman, and became
his wife this afternoon. The couple regis
tered as ''Mr. and Mrs. Neiln when they
took passage on the steamer, but tuat is an
assumed name, and the detective refuses to
give the right one. They received word
from London several days ago to be on the
outl ok for the tugitives and they were
on hand at the w arr when the steamer
arrived last night. They were in
structed to detaiu the luple until the
fathers arrival, but, as each as of age.
they could snap their fingers at the
police.
1t was the same old story of girlish in
fatuaton with the man who handled the
ribbons. The father holds colonels COM
mission in the English army, and is absent
from home much of the time. The lady is
a charming brunette, just past her major
ity, with pretty face and figure and a
striking carriage. If the statements Of her
fellow passengers are to be taken for any
thing she is as amiable as she is pretty.
While the girl is attractive and the persona
fcation of sweetness, her gay LoJhario is
just the reverse. He is a man verglng on
two score, with hair slightly tlnged with
gray, and has nothing about lls personal
! manners that would seem to be attractive
to a woman. His dress is that usual Y worn
by gentleman of the better Glass; lie vas
a good conYersationallst, and in their long
drives the girl learned to love him. Away
from tide eyes of the father they felt Ife,
though they could appreciate the Old gentle
mans anger should he discover their adj
| vaacing intimacy.
The coachman prevailed upon the maiden
to leave Ireland ana come with him to this
| country. The gi ! gave her consent only
after long and painful entreaties from her
lover. They took passage on one of the
| night boats that ply between Dublin and
Liverpool, and on their arrival in that city
went to the offices of the Beaver line and
engaged a second-class passage on board the
| Lake Huron, which then lay in the stream
waiting for her cargo TIey went on board
| the steamer 1T once, after securing their
passage, alth ugh the Lake Huron would
not sail for some ii ne, and the second class
quarters were not equal to the hotel acco n
modatiols On shore. They knew it would
be a secure place for the b, however, and
their persuers, if any there mi ght be, would
never fad them. When tse fatAe' disc ~
cred the elopement he notified the Scotland
| Yard 1tectives, who easily traced the fee
| ing couple TO tile Bower line offices, and
found they had been notified one day alter
the LAKE Huron had sailed. The father
then called ON Pinkertoa's men in this coun-
try to intercept the couple on the steamers
arrival in Boston. Sdtt Cornish Of
| the Boston Office easily identified the
couple lie used all his persuasive powers to
induce the young lady to leave her lover,
but without avail. She obSUlnately refused
to leave him and said:
"My aft cti IN for him is stronger than
any love of home and my father. l cannot,
| will not leave him."
English consul, who als) made futile at
| tempt to have the girl returned home. She
declared again her undying affection for
her lover, aud in spite of the entreaties of
the two men she firmly refused to leave the
boat with them. Again this morning MI.
Cornish made an attempt to induce uer to
place herself in his charge and wait the ar
rival Of her father, who is on his way to
this country. Again she refused and at
about 9 O'Clock the couple left the Lake
Huron arm in arm, with the agowed iute :
tIun Of going to the first mi lister and be
married. They have net been heard from
