Columbus, O., Feb. 13.-Helen
Chittenden, daughter Of Henry II.
Chittenden. an heiress to an estate
of 81 100000, was married secretly
last night to Edward Ziegler, son OF
a saloon keeper.
Young Ziegler is employed as a
bill poster and usher for a local
theatre. The BRIDES family was
bitterly opposed to the match.
Miss Chhtenden lived with her
grandfather, E. T. Mithoff, a mil.
lionaire capitalist, her mother being
dead. The Mithoffs had tried every
means to prevent her meeting Zieg-
ler. Last summer they sent her to
Europe, but this did not estrange
the pair.
They were together frequently of
late, and she repeatedly told her
grandparents that she was going to
marry Ziegler, but they still hoped
to dissuade her and would have tax
en- steps to prevent the marriage
last night if they had known OF it.
On pretense of going to neighbours
she slipped out of the house, met
Zeigler by arrangement and in a
few minutes they were in the Cath
olic Cathedral, one block from the
Mithof mansion, where Father Me
ARA, under special dispensation,
Miss Chittenden being a non-Cath-
olic, made them man and wife.
: The Mithofs were in ignorance
of the girls whereabouts until this
afternoon, when the couple were
found al the Goodale Apartment
House, where they will keep house.
Miss Chittenden was formally in
troduced to society at a dinner
dance given for her by her grand
mother, Mrs. E. T. Mithoff, on De-
cember 81. which was attended by
the most fashionable OF the younger
set.
Mr.. Mithof said tonight: "Poor
girl, how unfortunate. There's a
fellow, who from all accounts, does
nothing. He's married a rich girl
and perhaps he expects her to keep
him. They say he's nearly thirty
five years old. If he has counted
on getting any of my property after
I'm dead heis very badly mistaken" !"
