MISS CHRISTIAN ELOPE5.

After an elopement which began in
Atlanta, Ga, Thursday morning Miss
Juljs ia, tson Christian, the only grand
daughter of stoneSssll Jackson, the
great Confederate chieftain, was married
Thursday evening at Salisbury, N. O.,
to Edmund Randolph Preston, of Char
lotte, N. c., where the bride has also
been residing.
The strenuous objection of the young
lady's father, who was the general pas
senger agent OF the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, to the marriage of his daughter
to Mr.. Preston was the reason for the
romantic marriage. Miss Christian left
Atlanta Thursday on the first section OF
one of the Dorthbound trains on the
Southern Railway. Her father suspected
that she was about to be married, and he
took the second section of the same train
out of Atlanta. BE telegraphed his
daughter at Greenville, s. O., to meet
him at Charlotte. Instead the young
lady wired Mr.. Preston to meet her at
the Charlotte station. This he did, and
as the train bore them out Of the Char,
lotte yard the second section was heard
to whistle for the other end Of the yard.
Believing his daughter had left the
train the father got off at Charlotte, only
to find that the daughter had eloPed with
Mr.. Preston.
Mr.. Preston is prominent and rising
young attorney of Charlotte, and he is
member of the North Carolina legisla-
ture. The couple spent yesterday in
Lynchburg and left late yesterday after
noon on westbound trip for their honey
moon without disclosing their destina-
ton. They vii! return to Charlotte to
