Matrimonial Freak of a Rich Woman at
Wilmington, Mass.
Wilmington, Mass, April IA gol-
geous wedding took place here on Easter
Sunday. The bride wore thousands of
dollars worth OF jewels and married the
young Frenchman who has been her
coachman The bride/is Mrs. Frances
Hitler, whose mausoleum erected for
her first husband, created talk from one
end of the country to the other. The
man she married, though originally
named Peter Surrette, has become,
through Mrs. Killers wishes and the
probates court act, Henry Hitler, as
was her first husband. The groom is
only 26, and his bride will have him fit
ted by tutor for Harvard soon after the
honeymoon. Mrs. Hitler in her every
day life has over $4,000 worth of gems
on her finger, and on this occasion she
was literally covered with diamonds
and other gems, including diamond

Mrs. Hitler is worth 100000 and her
wealth is fast increasing. Surrette wore
overalls when he came from New Bruins
wick four years ago. He was wood
chopper, and after struggling around on
odd Jobs was given a position on the
HITLER estate. His idea of the English
langua geLis very vague, and year ago
last summer he went Sundays to a black
smith shop and learned his letters of
the proprietor In speaking of Peters
proposal, Mrs. Hitler said: II was thun-
derstruck at first, but the subject at
tracted my attention and [ said why
noi?' He is honest, loyal obedient and
loving. remembered how some of the
greatest men of our time came from the
meek and lowly, and began to make in
quiries. Father Ryan consulted Peter
and told me that Peter did not love my
money, but me. l then found out that he
came from very good family, and would
be good man to look out for my prop
erty."

FORCED INTO A MARRIAGE.
She Welded Her Ardent Suitor Unde
Threats of Death

Threats of Death.
ATLANTA, Ca, April Men ave
bee n frequently known TO marry at the
poinI OF a gun, but the unusual Ease Of
woman marrying under cover of pistol
was dcyel ped here to-day. Mrs Fanny
Thomas, a young and good looking wild
ow who lives outside of the city limits in
Cooks district, is IL victim of peculiar
transRclion in hearts. This morning
she came to the police department, and
to Capt. W. P. Manley, in charge at the
time, told her story, which has been par
TALLY confirmed by the police and the
necessary steps taken to redress the
wrong done the lady.
According to her account of the adj
venture Mrs. Thomas, was made ac-
quainted with man giving his name as
John Schulgel week ago. He was in
troduced by a mutual friend. The ac-
quaintapce had scarcely begun before
Sch ulgen, who is a stone mason, asked
the pretty widow to marry him. In fact.
he popped the question within an hour
after his introduction, and when Mrs.
Thompson declined, upon the ground of
their brief acquaintance, and the further
fact that she was merely a grass widow,
wit hout divorce and uncertain as to her
hu stands death, the ardent sutor pro
tested that she must consent or die. This
occurred the latter part of last week.
After pronouncing the ultimatum Schulz
gen left the presence of the young wild
ow, saying that he would return on Mon
day following to receive his bride, or if
she still refused to be his in life to make
her his in death.
Yesterday, punctual to his engage
ment, Schulgen presented himself, This
tine he had marriage license. Mrs.
Thomas endeavored to put him off, but
drawing pistol he said she must either
marry him instanter or die without fur
Their time for preparation.
Terrorized, she says, the young woman
accompanied the man to Justice Cook S
office, and the ceremony was performed,
On the way there Schulgen warned her
that unless she gave the proper answers
to the ceremony he would kill her before
the eyes of the magistrate.
From the Justices Office the peculiar
lover took his bride to the corner of FL
lott and Thurmond streets, where he in
stalled her in her new home, keeping
constantly near her until this morning,
when he said he was going to his work.
Before leaving the house he threatened
to kill his wife should she make public
the details of their marriage. The young
woman, how ever, came straight to the
police as soon as she thought it would
be safe to leave the house and told her
story.
Under advice of the chief she this
afternoon returned to her home in Cook S
district, and later took out warrant for
Schulgen's arrest.
