ton.
From the NeU York Herald
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-The latest sensa
ton in a matrimonial way is the elopement
Of Miss Annie Cammack, the only daughter
OF Mr.. John Cammack, a wealthy retired
florist of this city, with blacksmith who
kept small shop near her fathers man
sion.
The blacksmith bears the aristocratic
name OF Arlington Hardesty.
The couple went over to Baltimore last
Friday and were married by the Rev. Will
liam Clapp. They spent that night in Bal
timore and the next day at the happy
groom's humble lodgings near Mr. Cam
mack's mansion.
On Sunday morning the bride pegged
over home, and announcing that they had
just returned from Baltimore, took up her
home life where she had left it Off d.
On Monday morning letter was received
by her father from Baltimore friend de-
failing the circumstances of her stay there
with Hardesty, and when he confronted her
with this story she promptly denied the
whole thing. Mr.. and Mrs Cammack,
bent on satisfying themselves, went over to
Baltimore and found the marriage in the
books at the recorders office.
with her husband again to his modest
quarters over a neighboring little shop.
LEFT A HAPPY HOME.
Mr.. Cammack retired from business cares
years ago with an ample fortune, and his
home on the Seventh ST. eet road, Just about
the Soldiers home, Is one Of the finest
suburban residences about this city His
first wife, the mother of the clipping girl,
has been dead some years, and his present
wife, most estimaable lady has been a
kind stepmother to his only daughter.
The young lady has had her own way
pretty much, having plenty of money with
which to entertain her friends, and was a
great favorite. Her father dotted on her,
but he did not spoil her.
When she left school year or two ago
she was highly accomplished. Since then
| she has had all the advantages of pleasant
society and lively company. Her gowns
were perfection in number and style. She
is tall and graceful, a blonde and possessed
of plenty Of admirers.
LOVE IN A sHANTY.
She is already in possession of a small for.
tune left her by her mother and uncle, and
with what her father may leave her she will
be wealthy.
The blacksmith shop which Hardesty
opened three years ago is the last place in
the world that even the most romantic cir
should become enthusiastic over. 1t is 6
little dingy shed just opposite the grounds
| of the Cammack mansion. The lusty young
blacksmith had plenty of work, but seem.
! also to have had abundant time to excite
sparks of love in the heart of the heiress
When he began three months ago to wall
boldly up to the front door and spend hi
evenings in the splendid drawing room talk
ing to his beloved one MIR. Cammack mildly
demonstrated aud finally forbade his daugh
ter TO receive the mans attentions.
The opposition made stolen interviews {
necessity. Miss Cammack's fancy for the
| anvil whacker increased, and when he
striking the iron while it W as hot, proposed
| a runaway marriage In Bal timore she wa!
| only too willing to comply.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hardesty are now residing
| at their humble home, a stones throw from
| the Cammack mansion, and business at the
forge, after the sensational developments Of
the past few days. will probably be remun-
| crate d brisk. Mr.. Hardesty has quaint
| ties of information on the extent of his
beautiful young wife's present income and
future prospects, and they will look about
| shortly for quarters more in keeping with
| what she has been accustomed to.
Mr.. Cammack has not much to say about
the matter, feeling keenly the publicity
which his daughters unwise act has oc
casioned. 1t is quite probable that the
| young people will be given every encourage
ment and if the blacksmith has as muct
| sense as strength his wife may not regret
her step after all. At present they are bott
intensely happy, and their dreams Of life ar,
as bright as the sparks from the anvil The
| Cammacks are an old Washington family
nearly all of whom have gained and hello
large fortunes.
