Miss Katie Steinick and John Brus-
selle Evade Possible Objection
by an Elopement.

John Brusselle, ships officer of the At

ported from Baltimore to this city last
Tuesday morning and were married by
Rev. DR.. H. Schroeder. pastor OF the Trim
ity Lutheran Church. The brides par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs P Steinick Of SCI
West Fayette street Baltimore. were in
formed of the fact by telephone immedi-
ately after the ceremony and parental
forgiveness was promptly granted.
Behind the marriage is said to lie a
little romance of the bride waiting for
the return of her salcr lover from d
seven-month sea trip, and rush to
have the nuptial knot tied as quickly
after his landing as possible For some
time past Miss Steinick and Mr. Brusselle
were lovers, though the knowledge was
successfully concealed from both parents
and friends. From constantly seeing each
other the courtship went along smoothly
until last March when Brusselle sailed
San Francisco.
Happy Finale.
The trip was long one, the sea had its
dangers, and letters were few and far
between. Nevertheless, last Monday the
Massachusetts, sailed up the Delaware
river to her dock at Philadelphia. There
was an urgent request for leave by Brus-
selle from his captain, and rush to
catch the first train Monday evening for
Baltimore. Miss Steinck wasn't many
city blocks away from the station when
the train pulled in, and the trip to Wash
ing the following morning followed. The
marriage ceremony was performed an
hour and ten minutes after Mr.. BrusselIe
and Miss Steinick left the Monumental
city.
Mr. and Mrs. Brusselle have gone for
a short wedding journey, after which they
will be at the brides home for short
stay.
