A SINGULAR CASE.A Boy Baby Fished out of a Vault and* Doing Well.Er«m Tuesday-8 daily.Anna Ippen, a good looking Germangirl, working for some time past in thefamily of Mr. E. H. Bindley on southFifth street, last night gave birth to aboy baby and threw it into the vault.At noon today Mr. Bindley made thediscovery that the child was in the vaultand notified Superintendent Yandever.A colored boy was let down in the vaultby means of a rope, and the child wasrescued alive and well. It was turned over to a colored woman to be nursed. The girl is in bed sick. It is thought she gave birth to the child in the vault. Miss Ippen is about twenty years old and has a modest, unassuming appearance. She was a favorite with the Bindley family. She has a number of relatives in this city. It is not known as yet who was the cause of her ruin.From Wednesday’s daily*Julius Voges took out a license this morning to marry Anna Ippen, the girl who caused a sensation yesterday with her babe on south Fffth streetThe ceremony took place at the resi- Bi ‘dence of Mr. E. H. Bindley, where the girl has been employed as a domestic for three years, at 11 o’clock this morning, Rev. Horstmeyer of the German Reformed church officiating. The cere * mony was performed in the German language. A Gazette reporter acted as master of ceremonies. The little party -went up to Miss Ippen’s room where she lay in bed. Two pillows were propped up against her back. She joined hands with the groom and Rev. Horstmeyer pronounced them man and wife, afterwards briefly addressing them in the same tongue. Mr. Voges wished to take his bride away today but could not get the consent of Dr. Swafford,whois attending her.The babe is doing well, notwithstanding its tempestuous experience since its advent into this world, and it promises to grow up a great, big, healthy man. The statement that the child w as born during the night is inaccurate. Its birth occurred only about 15 or 20 minutes before Mr. Bindley made the timely discovery of its predicament. Itseems that Mr. Voges and Miss Ippen have been “keeping company” with one another and have been engaged to be married for some time. She was an industrious girl and has several shares in a building and loan association. Voges has had a house all ready in expectation of the event and as soon as she gets well enough to be moved he will take her to it.The case has certainly been a very singular one. Voges is a brother of Henry Voges, the saloon keeper.
