MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 15.-An
elOpement which will create a sensation
III Jewish circles terminated in a mar
riage here Friday afternoon. the par
ticulars of which leaked out last night,
although every effort was made to keep
the affair secret. 1t is the marriage of
jew and a Gentle. The groom is Will
lam L. Rose, the only son of a prom
lnent Jewish family of Chicago, his
father being Edward Rose, of the firm
OF Strauss, Goodman, Yondorf q Co.,
wholesale elothiers at No. 1875 Monroe
street: while the bride. Christian, is
Miss Nora L. Cl0wde, the daughter of a
humble boarding keeper at No.
I'll West Van Buren, street, Chicago.
An effort will probably be made to have
the marriage annulled, as neither of the
young people is of age, as recognized
by the matrimonial laws of Wisconsin,
Rose being but eighteen years and his
wife twenty. The young couple, who
were lovers for some time, left Chicago
Friday morning for this city. Their
trail was discovered in some way by
Mr.. Rose ST., who arrived here on the
next Chicago train accompanied by a
PlnkertOn detective. But young Rose
suspected that he might be followed. and
registered with Miss Clowde at the Re-
publican house under assumed names,
as brother and sister, from Louisville.
Their Stay at the Hotel
was short. but almost long enough to
foil their plans, for hardly had they left
the hotel to have the nuptial knot tied
when the father of the young man reeog-
nlzed III the fictitious names on the
! register the handwriting of his SON.
While the father and detective were en-
deavoring to trace the young couple
from the hotel, Rev. j. j. Siewert, a
German Lutheran minister, was pro-
nouncing the words which made Will
lam K. Rose and Nora l.. ClOwde man
and wife. The marriage ceremony took
| place in the parior of the minister's
parsonage at Ne. 25l0 Center street.
| Failing to find any further cleW to his
erring son, Mr.. Rose and the detective
returned to the Republican house Fri
day evening, expecting that the yonng
| couple would return there. But in this
| they were disappointed. for instead of
returning to the Republican house
| young Rose took his wife to the Kirby
house, the same hostelry where young
Aubrey and his wife spent their honey
moon. Here again Rose. in order to
AVOID detection, registered under an as
sumed name, but this time as man and
wife. After hours of waiting at the Re-
publican house. Mr.. Rose ST.. and the
detective concluded that the young

they retired for the night, leaving orders
with the hotel clerk to be called
promptly should the young couple come
IN. Thus only

the father and son spent the night, each
believing the other to be in Chicago.
As Saturday morning developed no
new clew at the Republican house Mr..
Rose Sr. returned to Chicago, expecting
to find his son there, but the Pinkerton
man was left here to await adviceS from
Chicago. Saturday afternoon word
| came by wire from Chicago that the
runaway couple had not returned, and
| the Plnkerton man resumed his search
| with local detectives. Saturday night
| the young couple were located at the
PlankintOn house, where they were
registered as E. Roth and wife. Late
| in the evening they had changed from
| the Kirby house, and by request were
| assigned the bridal chamber at the
Plankinton. They were left undis-
turbed for the night. A message sent
| to Chicago brought the elder MI. Rose
! back from Chicago this afternoon. The
| 1rate father had the young couple sum-
mOned before him at the central police

take of his life, and then followed a long
talk between the father, son and wife.

vulge; in fact, they are retlcent about

| though, that an attempt was made to
compromise between Mr.. Rose Sr. and
his new daughter-in-law. But it was

for the son and wife returned to the
hotel accompanied by the Pinkerton
man, while the father remained at the
station, where he met his business part
ner from Chicago. who arrived tonight
to give consolation to the nearly heart
| broken father. The parting at the sta
ton between the father and son is said
| to have been with the understanding
| that all should return TO Chicago OH the
o'clock train in the morning. That
| there might be no further maneuvering
on the part of the son among the Mil.
| waukee hotels the Pinkerton mas was
detailed at the hotel to watch him.
