MANSFIELD YOUNG FOLKS FOLLOW SUIT

In an out-of-the-way nook of The DIS
PATCH of yesterday the following marriage
notice occurred:
CAVETT-HUDDELL-A Camden, n. J..
August g. FANNIE NJ. HUDDELL to JOHN B.
CAvETT, of Allegheny.
There is a very romantic story attached
to this marriage. Before the lives of the
twain indicated in the notice were made one,
a neat little plot had TO be Matched, which
required all the artifces of love to bring it
10 a successful issue.
Last night DISPATCH reporter called
at the residence of the brides parents, 66
River avenue, to ascertain their view OF the
secret alliance now made public. Mrs.
Huddell, mother of the young bride, ad-
mitted the attache into dining room. On
q chair at the farther end of the room sat
the bride. Mrs. Cavett, nee Miss Fanny
Murdoch Huddell, is a young lady of
viYacious manners. She has a well-rounded
form, with a shapely head, and is an at
tractive young lady in every respect Her
mother said:
MY daughter married without my knowl-
edge. She left me to go away on visit. 1

she was going to be married. A party left
Allegheny for a short trip East, making
New York their terminal point. My daugh-
ter and her husband were among the party,
and when they arrived in Philadelphia they
crossed the State line, and married
in the usual Camden style. They
returned home just as they went.

thing unusual had transpired. He went to
his home, few doors away, and back to his
work just in the regular way, and she re-
turned to my roof. Now and then during
the last month he Just called at Our house in
an informal way. He had been pursing
this course, however, for the last five years.
The visits he paid did not vary from his
Others. We received him and dismissed him
as any other friend.
THE TRUTH LEAKED OUT.
''The first intimation the family had of it
was last Sunday at the dinner table. 1
have an old friend, John McRoberts, who
resides on the Southside, who happened to
60 to New York on the same cars that my
daughter did. On his return journey he
remained for a few days in Philadelphia.
Picking up the Ledger one morning, he
noticed the marriage of my daughter, to his
great surprise.
HE visited us last Sunday. When we
were all seated around the dinner table, he
said: Mrs. Huddell, did not think 1 was
travelling with a prospective bride and
groom asked HIM who were the happy
parties His answeri Oh; his answer!
1t almost broke nv heart TO
learn that my Fanny had gone
and married without ever saving
one word to me. CONSERVATION filled the
room; indeed could not help weeping. To
only think, the first child to be married, and
her mother not TO be aware of it. 1t is done
now, and / forgive them freely. If they had
only said something TO me about it things
would have been different. Camden
with all its unsavory history would
not have been on their marriage certificate %
About an hour after this conversation the
husband of the young lady dropped around
to the house to pay his evening call, and he
was met by the reporter and asked for a
statement of the case.
THE GROOM TELLS HIS TALE.
When we reached Philadel phia 1 impor-
tuned the party to stay over night. NV
proposition was acquiesced in. After dinner
I excused myself from the party, saying 1
would accompany Miss Huddell to see her
aunt. We Immediately crossed the State
border and went to the residence of the Rev.
j. W. Sooy, of Main street, Camden. The
reverend gentleman treated us in
an afable manner, and in ten
minutes the knot was tied. However, as
soon as can arrange for a few private
matters will take house, and to it 1 will
take my bride" Mrs. Cavett, nee Mis- Hud-
dell laughed joyously during this narra-
tion of her husband story She said 70 com.
plete the statement: I'VE Joined the party
with the full intention of carrying into
effect what we so long anticipated. We are
married; that is the alI-absorbing topic
with me-"
Mr.. Cavett, who lives at so River avenue,
q few doors above the bridge, is a tall,
manly fellow, and told his story with great
frankness.
