MISS carrie EWaids or NO. s3S 1orH
street, is now Mrs.. Julian Rado. Her
announcement cards may read Countess
Rado" and SO on. The marriage was per-
formed on Monday last. 1t was witnessed
by the brides parents, her sisters, Misses
Lulu and Florence; Henry Weber and
Alexander Szaraz.
Two years ago Miss Ewald was gradu-
ated from the New York School of Act
ing. Some weeks later she met man
who represented himself to be Count
Julian Rado. 1t was apparently a case OF
love at first sight. Within six months
after their meeting the young couple had
arranged to marry. The day was set,
but before it arrived there were some
painful revelations concerning the
Count The revelations, however, had
no effect upon Miss Ewald She believed
in the young man and so did her parents.
their sisters, their cousins and their aunts.
The Count proved a vigorous lover.
Nightly he was to be seen at Miss Ewalds
house and by way of variety he dropped
in frequently during the day His marked
attention was commented upon by resi-
dents of the neighborhood.
A second time a wedding was set. The
Counts parents were to come from Hun
that would startle Jersey Cityites. There
was another postponement owing to the,
inability of the Counts parents to reach
here in time for the ceremony. That
was the last time a day for the we'd
ding was fixed. Two weeks ago the
lovers quarrelled and friends of the
bride were given the surprising informa-
ton that the engagement was of. The
brides parents were puzzled and were
unable to ascertain the cause of the
trouble. They were still more surprised
when, on Sunday last, their daughter an
nounced that she would wed the Count
the next day. She had met him and
their little misunderstanding had been
patched up.
The ceremony was performed at ten
O. clock Monday night by Pastor Schneid-
er, of No. 325 Second avenue. Mr.. schneid-
er, it is said,sis well known matrimonial
agent.
Miss Ewald was, few years ago, one
of the most popular young ladies in the
city. She was considered pretty. and she
was remarkably well formed young
woman. When she studied for the stage
she formed new acQuaintanees, and with
in a year her circle Of friends IN this
city had greatly diminished. Her thsatri-
cal venture was a marked failure the
company she went on the road with hnd-
ing it necessary to disband. She never ap-
peared in any public entertainments after
having met Julian Rado.

secure a bride in this country was made
upon Miss Bertha Gross, comely maiden
of sixteen years, who lived with her
mother, at No. 12S Second avenue. He
met her at a Hungarian entertainment,
where Rado introduced himself as spe-
cial commissioner, sent by the hungarian
government, to study the cause OF phyf-
loxera, at that time destroying the vine
yards of Hungary. Rado proposed after
a three days acquaintance. The young
lady accepted and her parents had given
their consent when they were warned
against Rado by his countrymen.
Miss Gertrude Lehman, of No. 2S3 East
Eighteenth street, was Radios next choice
for a wife He met her in November in
1884. Rado at that time lived near the
Lehman house and he was attracted to
her by seeing her pass the house daily.
He went to the Lehman home ostensibly
to engage a room. He represented him
self to be an agent of Emperor Francis
Joseph, sent to investigate charges
against DR.. Won Poletscheck, the former
Austro-Hungarian Consul to New York.
Rado in his accustomed enterprising man
ner, proposed to Miss Lehman.
The young woman'S mother called
upon the Hungarian Consul, and found
that a young man of his name and de-
scription instead of being the Emperor's
representative, was one who the Buda-
pest police wanted very badly. Mrs,
Lehman also found out that the Count
was a salesman in Nine. v. Vallouri's

tented with him.
