RUNAWAY LOVERS.
FLIGHT FROM FATHERLAND. LAWYER ELOPES WITH MERCHANT'S DAUGHTER. MONTREAL, July 26. The police here are just now endeavouring to cut short the flight of a pair of runaway lovers from Germany. A cable to £ne German Consul here notified that official that Herr Schlottman, a prominent lawyer in Weirmar, had fled to Canada in company with Miss Maschatt, the daughter of a wellknown merchant. , The most serious feature of the elopement is that in order to undertake it Herr Schlottman is alleged to have obtained £6000 by means of forged cheques.
With all this money the couple doubtless thought they would have a high old time, but if they come way their tour will be at an end, for the police are scrutinising: the passengers by every steamer, and with the detailed descriptions they have, cannot very well miss the fugitives.
