field, Ohio, and a son Of Vice-President
Charles w. Fairbanks, last evening eloped
from Pittsburg with Nellie Scott, 20 years
old, to ~Steubenville. Ohio, where they were
married by the Rev. DR.. Brodie.
The first intimation Of the maria &c
came this morning. when Mrs. Scott, who
thought her daughter was visiting a school
friend, received the following message:
-SrEUBENvuLLE. Ohio. Oct. II, 1900.
sMrs. james Scott, $685. Stanton Avenue,
Pits6urg;
Frederick and I were married here
yesterday. NELLIE"
When Mrs. Scott recovered her breath
she got Steubenville on the long distance
telephone and soon located Mrs. Frederick
Cole Fairbanks at one Of the hotels and
told her to come right home and to bring
her husband with her, Of course.
Whether the bride obeyed is not known
Goodness" said a pretty sister Of the
bride this evening, haven't we had enough

but that's all I'm going to say
II is understood that there was some
objection to the marriage on the part Of
Vice-President Fairbanks. and this led to a
coldness in the Scott family toward young
Fairbanks.
All but Nellie chilled for the time. but
opposition only made the lovers more de-
termined.
Two DAYS ago Fairbanks came 10 Pitts
burg. Through a messenger boy he got
Nellie Scott on the telephone at her home.
She met him in the afternoon and they
fxed up the elopement scheme.

On the sams train was Fairbanks.
Miss Scot is the daughter Of James
Scott Of the Crucible Steel Company. She
is highly educated and is one Of the best
woman viOlinists in Pittsburg.
IL has been about a year since Miss Scott
and young Fairbanks met at a house party
in indianapolis. It was a case of love at
first sight.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. IA telegram from
Steubenville, Ohio, to Vice-President Fair
banks announcing the marriage OF his
son, Fred. and Miss Nellie Scott Of Pitts
burg took the Nice-President's family
completely by surprise to-day, as they
did not know hat he young people were
engaged.
Miss Scott was the guest Of Mrs. George
Stout, who lives opposite the Fairbanks
home, the past summer. and it was there
that Frederick Fairbanks first met her.
He was very attentive during her stay and
they drove frequently into the country.
but none of the young mans friends sup
posed that there was anything stronger
than friendship between them.
Several days ago young Fairbanks went
Fast on business. but he gave no intimation
Of a purpose to marry while away. He
knew hat his parents were opposed to early
maria ges. and, though he is % years old ,
they nave always spoken of marriage as
being premature before thirty. He knew
their sentiments in this respect, and it is
supposed that this is the reason he did not
make his intentions known.
Neither the VICE President nor Mrs. Fair
banks would discuss the marriage tonight ,
but it was given out at the home that they
had no objections to Miss Scott.
