A Dashlng Young Widower Makes Plain
Little Country Girl His Bride-The
Cruelty OF Their Obdurate Parents.
For possibly month past it has been
whispered about that Louis Hopes,
young man engaged in the general
merchandise business at Chadds' Ford,
was paying marked attention to Miss
Carrie Furman, daughter OF Rev Mr..
Furman, pastor of the Baptist Church,
and it was further asserted that he was
actually counting her ION the sly, as
the parents of both objected strenuously
to the intimacy.
Matters, however, ran along in this
strain until Sunday, the 18th inst, when
it was announced that the couple (Mr.
Hopes and Miss FurmsD) had myster
iously left the village. Inquiry revealed
the fact that the young lady had quietly
walked to Brandywine Summit, where
she Joined her ardent lover, and to-
gether they took an east bound train for
Philadelphia Nothing was heard Of
them until few days thereafter, when
the following marriage notice appeate ed
in the columns Of the News;
HOPES FURMAN.- On August l4th.
1893, by Rev. G.. w. Ftnlaw, Camden, n. j.,
Louis II. Hopes and Miss Carrie Furman,
both Of Chadds' Ford. Pa.
On Wednesday last the happy couple
returned to Chadds' Ford Just as quietly
as they had left, and took up their abode
in furnished apartments over Mr..
Hoopess store. TIE youths of the viii
lage soon learned of this fact, and when
the shades OF night had fallen they
gathered in countless numbers about the
Hopes residence, each and every one OF
them being armed with a fsh-horn, an
old pan, a mouth organ, bass horn OF
some other musical % instrument, and
the serenade music they rendered was
rather more deafening than elegant
The couple, however, thought it fun,
and as such enjoyed it immensely.
| Ere another day had passed, it is said,
that their Joy was turned to sorrow, and
some even go so far as to assert that
copious tears were shed. They had re-
ceived visit. from the parson and his
wife, and the most profuse explanations
failed to sooth their rufiied feelings
The bride and groom of but few days
bore their trials and tribulations
thus far with due fortitude, but theii
troubles had actually only commenced L
brew.
When Mrs. Hopes, the mother Of thu
groom, learned of the marriage she wa
not in a pleasant mood, to say the least
she straightwsy issued an order from he
residence in Philadelphia to tn
effect that her son must imme
diately give up her store, whicl
he has been conducting, she in tn
meantime having appointed gentle
mau Of the neighborhood to conduc
the business. This rather startled th'
young man, yet he received the notifica
ton rather coolly and was all da
