Welded BUT TWO DAYS.

Suddeu Death of Young Woman Who
Became n Bride on Her Dcathbed-A
Coronial Investigation to be Held To.
Day.
The story Of the romantic marriage and
sad death of Miss Helen Brecht, of Law
renceville, is thus stated by the young
brides relatives: Miss Brecht, or rather
Mrs Eckert-for such was the name she
fondly desired should be carved upon her
tombstone-was but 20 years of age at the
time of her demise. Michael Brecht, her
father, lives on Forty.third and-a-Hal
street. near Willow street. Helen had en-
gagged herself to Charles fEckert, young
barber, OF Butler street. The wedding day was
fixed, at Miss Brechts suggestion for the
morning of Tuesday last, but on Monday morn
ing the young lady, whose constitution was ex-
tremely delicate, rashly drank glass of cold
beer During the evening she grew i'll, and on
Monday night 1t was found necessary to obtain
a prescription from Lawrenceville physician.
Miss Brecht's sickness then seemed to abate.
On Tuesday she expressed strong desire that
the wedding should take place in spite
of everything. Her father tried to persuade
her to wait till she got well, but something
seems TO have told Miss Brecht that she was
not to recover for she insisted on the wedding
going on. Finally Mr. Brecht yielded, but
postponed the service until the evening.
Father Call performed the ceremony. The
next day the young woman became worse, and
yesterday she died. The gay wreath of orange
blossoms gave place to one Of gloomy cypress,
and the bride of two short days was no more. .
In consequence Of the unusual nature of the
illness and the symptoms of poisoning
alleged to have been discovered, Coroner
Mcdowell, last evening inquired into the case.
He was informed by the attendant physician
that Mrs. Eckert had been subject.to gastric
fever. The symptoms of gastric fcyer much
resemble those of arsenicsl poisoning In
order to finally settle the matter an inquest
will be held by the Coroner to-day.
