FIRE REVEALS ~ AN ELOPEMENT. Six-Day Cycle Racer Heer Dashed Across Street in Rockaway Blaze to Save Bride. MARRIAGE WAS A SECRET Neighbors Celebrate with Young Couple. but the Young Wife's |!aher Re- fuses to Sanction tne Union. Out of the smoldering ruins of the Rockaway Beach fire the phoenix of a love romance rises, and as all the world loves a lover, all Rockaway Is cclebrat- ing, to-day, the marriage of Lillian Burchell, the acknowledged belle of Rockaway, to Georgie Heer, one of the pluck boys who finished in the last six- @ay bicycle race at Madison Square Garden. And all Rockaway is happy with them—all except olf George W. Burehell, the father of the bride and one of the richem men on “the Beach,” who prefers to be out of the world, will not be consoled and has put a “for sale" sign on his property. George and Lillian sloped a week ago yesterday, and were married by the Rev George W. Green, pastor of the Congre- @ational Church at Holland, where they had been Sunday school pupiis since babyhood. The kept it eecret, and nobody knows how long It would have remained a secret if there had been no fire. Fire Reveals the Secret. George and Lawrence Heer got some tyney out of the race, and with what tes had saved from his ponies and goat catts, George set up Ina little hotel op- posite Mr, Burchell’s general store, where he boasted that he sold every- aning from a fish hook to a steamboat. In a week Sunday's fire came’ aolng and burned up everything he possessed, partly because after Georgie Keer turn- ed in the alarm he deserted his own property and dashed across the way to arouse the Burchells and save Lillian. hTe lad—he 1s only twenty-one—was gloomy and dlesolate, and seemed to be brooding. Yesterday he called on old George W. Burchell, who has a quarter of a million stowed away in the locker. Said he: “Mr. Burchell, I've done something I'm afraid you won't like, but I want to be a man and I've come to tell you. I had expected to make a few hundred dollars In my hotel this season and be in shape to tel] you, but the fire gob- bled up everything 1 owned and took every dollar I had. I'm broke. I don't want any assistance, but I just want your forgiveness and your blessing. Lill and ‘I eloped and got married a week ago to-night Bride’s Father was Furtous. Old man Burchell was furlous, but he said, calmly enough: “Georgie, I've known you since you was a iittle boy, and liked you, but you've done something for which I shall never forgive you. 80, you're married to my Lillian; my cashier these six years, since she was thirteen. Well, you married without my consent; now take her and get out, both of you, as quick as you can, When Lillian was leaving a little later, her head tossing proudly, her father said: “LI, T told you you'd get the biggest part of my money, my only daughter; Dut now vou don't get a cent. I'll cut you off. I'm going to my lawyer to-day and draw up a new will” Later this sign appeared on the atore: “Thin store for sale. Georgle and Lilllan took the Spats cottage in Henry street, and are” aa | Tarks to-day. A celebration of the wedding was held Jn the cottage Jase night. “Inthe midst of It a delegation wen: to Mr. Burchell to plead for “the children." No.” sald he; “I've cut my only datighter off and I'm going to leave this beach forever.” Neckwear Dept. Sale of Summer Neckwear. Ascots, Fancy Ties and Stocks, 25 cts.
