Indignant Papa
------------------
He Gets Mad Because His Daughter Married a Mumma
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Lydia Harries, a daughter of John Harries, eloped last night with James Mumma. Both families are well known throughout the West, especially in Ohio. Harries is very wealthy, and a leader in society. Mumma is in moderate circumstances, of good character, a lawyer, and able to support his bride. The father is very indignant and refuses a reconciliation. Attentions have been shown the girl by Mumma for ten years, against her parents' consent.
