Miss Pauline Fuller, the fifth daughter of Chief Justice Fuller, was married in Milwaukee Tuesday night at the Kirby House by a Justice of the Peace. The groom was J. Matt Aubery, Jr., of Chicago, and it was a runaway match. When the 6:30 train arrived last evening a petite woman was helped ofi tne steps of the parlor-car by a well-knit young man with a smooth face. The lady was closely veiled and was escorted to a carriage by her Companion. They were driven at once to the Kirby House where they registered. No room was assigned to them and the lady and her companion spent the early evening in the hotel parlors. About 9 o’clock the young man came down stairsand informed the clerk that he wanted a Justice of the Peace. Inside of fifteen minutes Justice Gregory arrived. There was a hurried consultation, and then the yeung man brought the blushing young lady forward. The ceremony was a brief one, and the Justice, who is a very prosaic old gentleman, put on no extra frills.' He did not know that the bride was the daughter of the Chief Justice of the United States, and neither did any of those who were present outside of the contracting parties. When the ceremony was concluded the old Justice called for witnesses, and twe young men were captdred in a billiard room and ran to fix their signatures to the necessary document. The knot was legally and firmly spliced. Mrs. Aubery is nineteen years of age, highly educated and a remarkably handsome woman. J. Matt Aubery, Jr., is twenty-three years of age.

Miss Pauline declared, " however, that she would marry whom she pleased, and her father recognized her right to do as she pleased. Mrs. Fuller continued to oppose the match. About this time lawyer Fuller was named as Chief Justice of the Unjted States. Mrs. Fuller packed up and carried Miss Pauline away to Washington With the other Misses Fuller. About the Ist of last January Miss Pauline came to Chicago and has since remained in that city, visiting friends of the family. The story of the elopement of the young pair is an interesting one and demonstrates that young Anbury has cut his eye teeth. To begin, he hired two detectives to shadow him and his affianced until they left Chicago. His object was to learn if any one was following them and to prevent the young lady being rescued. It was early in the afternoon when he met Mies Fuller, and a Chicago candy was the trysting place. They boarded a Milwaukee & St. Paul train at the Union Depot at 3:30 o’clock and came direct to this city. Mrs. Fuller, wife of the Chief Justice, is going to Chicago to see her daughter and son-in-law.
