Young George Apgar's Ro-
mantle Marriage to
Miss Annie 0'Don-
nell.
HALF AND HALF ELOPEMENT
Engaged With Parental Consent
They Gave Their Friends Sur
prise Party After All.

Messrs. Wood e. Menagh. the hardware
today where their highly-esteemed clerk,
George Apgar, is, and Mrs. Louise Year
| ance of No. III Mercer street 10 speculat-
ing as to the whereabouts of her eighteen
year-old step-daughter Annie.
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS will set the
minds of this trio at rest by informin G
them that Mr.. Apgar and Miss Annie
O'Donnell are man and wife. and are reg
istered at the St. James Hotel at the
southwest corner of Twenty-fifth street
and Broadway, New YORK.
Last night this well known young
couple made their way to the home of the
Rev. DR.. w. G. Snodgrass on Montgom-
cry street and without the knowledge or
consent of mammas or papas were united
in the holy bonds of matrimony.
HARDLY AN ELoPEMENT.
Mr.. Apgar met his finance last night
at about eight o'clock on Mercer street.
Together they walked to Varick street,
where they were joined by Miss Evangel-
inc Hayos and Mr.. George Levinson. A
carriage was in waiting and the quar-
tette proceeded to the home of MIR. Snod-
grass. The participants certified as to
their ages and in response to n question
as to whether they desired long
or short ceremony, emphat1cally stated
their preference for the latter. In accord
ance with their wishes the ceremony was
cut very short indeed. Mr.. Levipson and
Miss Hayos signed the marriage certifi-
cate and the party repaired to the St.
James. An elaborate dinner was or
dered by the groom, and at about mid
night the witnesses to the secret marri-
age returned to this city pledged to
secrecy until the forgiveness of the con-
tracing parties parents had been
secured.
The fact OF the elopement leaked out
this morning, however.
The engagement of Mr.. Apgar to Miss
ODonnell was not known, and the most
intimate friends of the young couple are
highly indignant that the matter should
have been settled without affording them
proper opportunity for just little gos-
ever, as the matter stands, is not too
plain.
ONLY LITTLE HASTE
The parents OF the young couple under
stood that the marriage was to take place
after Lent. MIR. ApRar was impatient
and Miss O'Donnell wanted just little
romance attached to her marriage. An
elopement was suggested. The sueges-
tion was hailed wtGh maiden's delight
and carried to most successful and SEN
sational termination.
George Apgar is trusted employe of
Wood & Menagh and has been in
the service of that firm for sew
eral years. The young couple. it is said,
met at a reception less than year
ago. 1t was purely case of love at first
sight Mr.. Apgar paid his undivided at
tention to Miss O'Donnell and his affection
was reciprocated. The consent of their
respective parents was obtained to their
union, but it was urged that the cere.
mony be postponed until the close OF
the Lenten season. That this ar.
rangement was not satisfactory
to the young people has been sufficiently
shown. Miss O'Donnell is charming
brunette and Mr.. Apgar a handsome
blonde. The young couple will return to
this city next week and will probably
live at the home of Miss O'Donnell.
There are unconfirmed rumors abroad
OF the elopement of a young lady who
figures consDicuously at the Palma Club
receptions.
The close of the Lenten season will un-
doubtedly be followed by many sensa
tional disclosures in the social world.
