Henry Miller and Emma Davis Ad-
just Their Differences Satisfactorily
After a Family Consultation, and
Will Marry and Settle Down-Happy
Denouement Of an Unpleasant State
Of Affairs.
1t is the same old story and with about
the same result Emma Davis, Of
Charleston. and Henry Miller, Of Savan-
nah, viii be married and the prosecution
of Miller will be dropped.
The case was a peculiar one, in which
young Miller was charged with the be-
trayal Of Miss DAVIS, a sort of mutual ad-
miration having sprung up between them.
Miller met Miss Davis, who is a girl Of

quently, and IL was not long before he
had entirely won her affections.
He, however, lived in Savannah and
she at that time in Charleston It was a
long distance that separated the young
lovers, longer than Miller liked, and he
persuaded her 10 come to Savannah,
where she was taken TO house on Rey
nolcs street. Her father was sick at the
time she left home, but concluded when
he recovered that she had eloped with
Miller, whom he knew to be in Savannah.
He came over, and, after a diligent
search, succeeded in locating her.
TIE STORY OF A RUNAWAY.
He took his daughter to Justice FL
singers office few days ago, and there
she told the whole story of her runaway
from home, and how promise of mar
riage had been made her by Miller. A
warrant charging Miller with seduction
was sworn out al once, and Miller was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Dunno. He was
released on $1,000 bail, and summoned to
appear for preliminary hearing yestesday.
There was quite a crowd around JUS
tice Elsinger's Office in the morning long
before the trial took place. Miller was
represented by William Pease, Esq. The
fathers of Miller and Miss Davis were
both present.
There was very little of sensational
nature about the trial The facts in the
case were stated plainly. Miss Davis
maintained that Miller had given her 10
understand that he would marry her
though he had not said so directly. He
had told her, she said, that he would pro-
tecJ her, and that he would in no wise al
low her good name to be injured. Miller
In his defense admitted having lived with
The girl in the city, but denied that he
had promised to marry her. He did not
DENY, however, the statement made by
the girl.
EQUIVALENT TO PROMISE.
This was held in law to be equivalent to
Il promise of marriage, and Miller was
held liable. Justice Elsinger had about
made up his mind IN the case and was 60
ing to turn the defendant over to the su-
perior court under bond in the sum of
$500, but matters took happy turn,
which relieved the law from taking any
hand whatever in the affair.
The two young people and their fathers
retired into Justice Elsinger's private Of
flee and held u consultation. What was
said or done in there is not exactly known,
but it can be pretty well surmised. One
party, who was in the next room at the
time, says he distinctly heard something
at the time about marriage and that
being satisfactory, things seemed to
have changed around altogether. Pretty
soon all the parties to the case emerged
from the private Office in good humor
and smiling.
We've settled the matter all satisfac-
torily," said one of the parents.
Pm glad you have" said Justice FL
singer, 1.-The warrant will be dismissed"
The two young people left the court
room together with their parents, and the
presumption is they agreed upon settling
the matter by the marriage Of the two
When it will take place, however, is not
known, as no marriage license was taken
out by them Yesterday.
