New York Sept. 21.-The secret mar
rage of Count Zeremba, Russian, and
Miss Josephine Savin, at Saratoga re-
Gently is creating a sensation among the
fashionable set in this city. The
affair was first noised about several
days ago but it was difficult to find
anyone who knew many of the details
of the latest international union,
though at all the Broadway and Fifth
avenue hotels the affair was freely dis
cussed.
Those who had spent any part Of the
season at Saratoga were more than will
ling to believe the story true, for the
infatUation of the count and Miss Sa-
vim for each other had been the subject
of gossip at the springs. AS one Of a
party of gentlemen at the Waldorf-As-
toria said:
In entering the Savin family Count
Zeremba has gained a preferable wife,
and unless all presidents are false, he
has formed a connection that will often
bring him into the eye Of the public.
More than that, should he please the
young lady's father, he has established
base of supplies that should make his
! heart glad, as Frank Savin is a veal
thy man."
AS the story goes, the count and Miss
Savin met early in the season, and their
mutual infatuation dated almost from
their first meeting. Those who hold
the theory of the attraction of OppoSiteS
will see nothing strange in this.
Miss Savin is fair, with perfectly
formed features, and her shapely head
is crowned with fluffy hair. She has a
beautiful figure, and adds to it with a
taste for dress that makes her the OBJ
served of all when she appears in public
Count Zeremba, on the other hand, is
dark, with irregular features and a
small figure. Miss Savin inherits a vi
vacious disposition from her father
and is said to be a delightful CONVEX
sauonalist. The count, however, is in
clined to be shy and taciturn.
Among the first arrivals in Saratoga
this season were Miss Savin and her
brother, Frank Savin, jr. They had
not been there many days before Count
Zeremba, appeared, and within g week
it became generally known that he was
a sutton for the hand of the seasons
beauty.
Miss Savin is % years of age, and is
even more self-Willed than the average
belle of her age. But it had been said
she never went contrary to the wishes
of her father.
Mr.. Savin was spending the summer
in Europe, but the gossip concerning
the prospect of his having a titled SON
in-law flOated to him over the water.
It was reported that he emphatica1ly
opposed the marriage, but if he did it
is probable that for once his advice had
little weight.
Society at the springs was given a
fresh sensation few days ago when it
WIS dunOuuCOQ That MISS oaNln ana
Count Zeremba had been sAeretly mar
ried. Immediately after the alleged
ceremony the young lady, her brother
and Count zeremba left Saratoga for
this city.
At the Savin residence, so Fifty-sec-
ond street, it was said that it would be
impossible to see either Miss Savin or
her brother. The maid servant who
answered the ring of the door confirmed
the report that her mistress was mar
ried. She declared that she knew moth
ing Of the bridegroom, more than that
he was called count by his wife and her
brother
Asked if the young couple had receiv-
ed the blessings of the lady's father, the
young woman said that below stairs
it was reported that Mr.. Savin, ST., was
in a rage over the marriage, and had
started for home Immediately after he
received a cablegram announcing it.
For many. years the Savins have been
in one way or another prominently be-
fore the public. Mr.. Savin is a we'll
known banker and broker. For some
years he was involved in lawsuits.
which often took his name into public
prints.
Few men are better known in New
York than Frank Savin. In appear
ance he is a typical man about town,
and as his wealth is well known he is
a favorite. Not satisfied with the per-
formances to be seen at the roof gar
dens, he has provided a private roof
garden in his private residence, and
there he gathered some Of the most
unique talent known to the stage.
