PRICE ONE CENT DAILY ROMANTIC Union of Old Lovers.; Groom Wooed Bride In Akron In 1851. They Quarreled and She Married Another. I A $20.00 1 I Chamber i I Suit... i He Went to War and Sub sequently Wedded. Chance Meeting Followed by Renewal of Old Vows. Many of the older residents of the city remember Mrs. Fanny L. Rey nolds, -who in the early days of this city -was a leader" in the society of what was then the village of Akron. Her maiden name was Fanny Lutz. The following story of her roman tic marriage to Col. Edwin P. "War ren of Washington, D. C, which is from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, will be read here with interest. "At the home of Mrs. S.E. Herwig, No. 210 Oakdale" St., there was sol emnized lust evening the marriage of a couple who were lovers nearly 50 years ago. An estrangement arose, the lovers drifted apart, each mar ried, each was bereaved, and, finally, by merest, chance, they met again, the old love "was renewed and the wedding of last evening followed. - "Col. Edwin P. "Warren of "Wash ington, D.C., and Mrs. Fanny L. Rey nolds of Cameron, Mo., were the groom and bride of the wedding which forms the concluding chapter of a half century's romance. "The ceremony was performed by Dr. William H. Rider of the Euclid Avenue M. E. church, at the cosy little home of the groom's sister, Mrs. Helwig. Col. Warren is in his 6ixty-eighth year, while his bride is but a year his junior. "It was in 1851, when Akron was but little more than a village, that Col. AVarren visited there and met Miss Fanny Lutz. They became at tached to each other and their en gagement was announced. A lovers' quanrel occurred and the -v illage gossip had tfo record the fact that the son of George Reynolds, the pro- A suit at $20 is not as cheap as one can be bought: we have them for less, but we are show ing the best value for .$20 that you ever saw.

Young AVarren left Akron after the engage ment, going to Detroit, Mich.; where his parents made their home. "Reynolds and Miss Lutz were married and in the course of a few years removed to Cameron, Mo., which was then considered almost on the frontier. The courting of AVarren and Miss Lutz became his tory to all but himself and his bride that was to be. The war broke out and AVarren was among the firht to oirer his services to his country. He te ed during the entire war, receiv ing a severe wound. He was a col onel when mustered out. "At the cloe of the war Col. AVar ren went to AVashington and there married. In 1874'his wife died, leav-. ing him one son. He was well sup plied with this world's goods and has led a retired life ever since re siding in Washington. He is well known in AVashington and he is a familiar figure in the great functions of that city of society and social ," life. "Col. AVarren has a love for travel, and on a trip to the west last fall stopped by accident in the town of Cameron, Mo., and there met, by the merest chance, his former sweet heart. This happened last Septem ber. Old scenes were recalled and old times talked over. He learned that Mrs Reynolds was a widow. her husband having died five years before. The difference which seem ed so great at their parting could hardly be recalled by either. The old love sprung up in the hearts of both. "Col. AATarren returned to AArashington, but did not forget. Letters passed between the two with considerable regularity and fre quency, "until," as the colonel ex pressed it, "we decided to be mar ried and go on together." This plan was quickly arranged, and Mrs. Rey nolds met the colonel at the homeof his sister in this city yesterday. "The ceremony was a very simple one, only the immediate friends of the contracting parties being pres ent. A wedding supper followed, during which the bridgroom and bride recited stories of their early courting without the usual embarass mant of a newly married couple. The colonel and Mrs. AVarren will remain in the city for a few days and then go to Cameron, Mo., -.where they will make their home for a time. It is probable that they will make Washington their permanent home. . "In appearance Col. AVarren would attract attention anywhere. He has a military carriage, which, in spite of his years, he still maintains. His hair is very white and he assumes a professional style of dress. The bride seems to have enjoyed every 1 year of har sixty-eight, and there is a merry twinkle in her eye as she tells the story of her youthful love."

Citizens' Company Gets lis Franchise C. U. Turned Down. A bitter and long continued tele phone fight at Columbus, with the Central Union monoply on one side and the Citizens on the other, has just ended in a complete victory for the people. The ordinance granting a franchise to the Citizens' Telephone company was signed Thursday by Mayor Swartz. The same tactics were adopted by the Central Tnion Co. at folumbiis as those employed in this city. In commenting on the victory the Columbus Citizen says: "The Mayor fairly broke the rec ord Thursday for praiseworthy acts. He signed the ordinance granting the Citizens' Telephone company a franchise, which insures the breaking up of the present mo nopoly, the increasing of telephonic connections not only in Columbus, but with many towns in all parts of the state, and a material reduction of rates. The Mayor in signing this ordinance has rendered valuable ser vice to the city. "Too much credit for this happy ending of a long telephone war can not be given Mr. Harry Critchfield of the Citizens' company, whose earnest, intelligent efforts have re sulted in placing before the people of Columbus the merits of tlie Citizens' franchise. He is a progressive man of whom the city may well be proud." H. A. Everett of Cleveland is in terested in the Columbus company. Opening Game. The base ball- season at Summit lake park will be opened Sunday with a game between the S. L. Pierce team' of Cleveland and the Barber- tons. The visitors will appear in new uniforms.
