A Young Lady of Fourteen Elopes to Become a Matron Mary Susan Chappell, the 14-year-old daughter of John Chappell, who resides near Farmer's Institute, and Henry Ross were united in marriage early yesterday morning at Romney by Rev. Mr. Smith. The ceremony was very quiet and no invitations had been issued for the event. The truth of the matter is Henry stole his bride from her home between the hours of midnight and dawn, and without her parents consent. When Mr. Chappell discovered his daughter's absence he started in pursuit but he did not overtake them in time to prevent the ceremony. He objects to the marriage on account of the extreme youthfulness of his daughter. There is recourse for such marriages, however, and Mr. Chappell proposes to have satisfaction. The affair has created much excitement in Mr. C.'s locality. - kim h
