Schwarz and Miss Thomas Here and at Hagerstown More thrilling than many a roman tic novel is the story of the elopement of Miss Catherine A. R. Thomas, daughter or Judge and Mrs. William H. Thomas, of Westminster. Md., and James Grant Schwarz. Jr., of this oity. The couple were married here on Thursday of this week, and in Hagers town again yesterday, and this is how it happened. Miss Thomas, who is a charming young woman of twenty years, was a close companion of the three sisters of Mr. Schwarz, and attended school with them at Sharon Hill school, near Philadelphia. The brother of the girls had meet Miss Thomas frequent ly, but seemed rather more attracted *o the older sister, Josephine, and few suspected where his real Interest lay. The romance sped along rapidly in the last few weeks and plans for the elopement were set with much care and foresight. The groom, who holds a position in the Witman-Schwarz wholesale grocery establishment on Walnut street, was too ill to come to work last Friday morning and during his absence evidently planned the elopement to the last deta.il. On Wednesday the bridegroom-to be bought two tickets to Hagerstown and on Thursday took out a license at the Harrlsburg Courthouse. The couple then went to St. Patrick's, Cathedral, where the marriage cere mony was performed by the Rev. M. M. Hassett. That evening they jour neyed to Chambersburg, where they spent the night, and proceeded the followtng day, Friday, to Hagerstown. In order to make doubly sure they took the wise precaution of being mar ried again, lest the "irate father" of the bride, who It is said does not like elopements, should discover some technically and endeavor to frustrate the plans of the wise young bride groom. They were therefore married again at the parsonage of St. John's Lutheran Church by the Rev. Dr. S. W. Owen, in Hagerstown. The families of the recently married pair are said to be very good friends and it was through this friendship that young Schwarz first met his bride. The father of the young man is J. Grant Schwarz, of Witman- Schwarz Company, and the bride's father is judge of the circuit court for Carroll county and of the Maryland Court of Appeals. Judge and Mrs. Thomas, according to a Baltimore pa per, deny that the couple eloped, but that on the contrary it was with the ful knowledge and consent of the parents. The bride is well known and popu lar in Baltimore, where she frequently visited. Recently she has been tak ing vocal lessons at Peabody Institute, in Baltimore. Her next birthday will be on January 9, when she will be 21 years of age. The groom is 26 years old, and Is connected with the firm of which his father is head. He was formerly married to Miss Catherine Kerper, of this city, who died several years ago, leaving him two small daughters. The young couple are spending a few days at the home of the groom's father in Camp Hill, and Mr. Schwarz resume his duties on Monday. They will establish a home at 2224 North Second street where they will be "At Home" to their friends after January 15. Mrs. Charles P.
