Justice Isaac Nathans married two par
ties 10 a runaway match yesterday aft
ernoon. They were Mr. Nicholas Aprea
and Miss Angle Eleopoulo. The parents
Of the bride knew nothing of the step
their daughter had taken until some time
afterwards. Then she and her husband
were on their way to Florida and par
entail wrath awaited naught. The couple
went to the Justices office about O'Clock.
The license had been secured and every
thing was in readiness for the ceremony.
Inquiry developed that Miss EleopouIo was
49, and the absence of parents or guard
ians to give their consent was therefore
waived. The justice saw no reason why
the ceremony should not proceed, SO he
performed it according to law, aud Mir.
and Mrs. Aprea left with the info rmation
that they were going to Florida on their
wedding journey.
The brides father, when seen late in the
afternoon, was deeply perturbed, while
Mrs Eleopoulo was plunged in grief. 1t
seemed they had had barely more than
hint Of what had taken place. The father
was looking for eonfirma ton of the news,
and, not having found iU, he was a bit re-
lieved. The inquiry OF a Morning News
reporter killed the little ray of hope he
nurtured, however and his fears were
realized. He was asked if he had heard
from the couple since their wedding. He
replied that he had not, and that he did
not know where they had gone When
told that it was Florida, he said he thought
they would take in Tampa. What reason
he had for the opinion was not given.
Mrs. Eleopoulo was greatly agitated. The
one grief of herself and her husband was
that their only child had left them in a
summary manner. and grief over that and
there being no other upon whom they
might lavish their love, made them OBJ
livious 40 any worth that Others could see
in the bridegroom.
MIR. and Mrs. Eleopoulo are Greeks. who
have been in this country for a number
of years. Miss Angie is a .Sradua te of the
High School, and is well known among
many and admired for her amiability. She
has many warm friends ia Savannah who
viii be glad she has married the man of
her choice.
Ii is understood there were strong pa-
rental objections to the match. National
prejudice was given as one The bride-
groom is an italian. A Greek friend of
the EleoD0ulos was asked about the
match. He admitted that Aprea was a
very satisfactory sort of a groom, for an
Italian, as he expressed it,
A report has ii that within the next
two years Mr.. and Mrs. Eleopoulo and
their daughter had intended returning 10
Greece, where the daughter, who is ac-
cOmplished to a degree for one who has
been for such comparatively short time
in this country, would open school to
teach English to her country people. BY
close and constant application to his busi-
ness as a confectioner, Mr.. Eleopoulo has
done very well in Savannah, and within
the two years he had hoped to be abe to
return with his wife and daughter to his
beloved country and pass the rest of his
days in the enjoyment of The returns of
| his labors. IL is also said that the plan
| for the return and settlement in Greece
| involved wedding, a young man in Phil
| adelphia being the choice of the father and
| mother for their daughter.
