EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT.—The Worcester NT.-
aide describes at length a flight of incipient Mormons,
which took place last week. "On the previous Sunday
morning Mr. Hodgetts had made one of his usual
voyages to the coal country, and on his ratarn on the
following Saturday was distracted on finding that his
wife bad left him, and induced all her children to accnn-
pany her. Not only bad she left him, but she had taken
away a great deal of ready cash, which she had collected
from the customers, had drawn 3141. by cheque out of
the bank on the previous day, and bad earried off every.
thing portable, even the bed linen from the house. The
poor man's agony and distraction of mind can scarcely
be imagined ; he implored the aid of the police in re-
covering wife and children ; And on the same night Su-
perintendent Chipp started, with him in pursuit. They
proceeded at once to Liverpool, procured the assistance
of the police in that town, and, after several hours
spent in making inquiries, learned that the Enoch Trail
had started out of port two hours before with four hun-
dred Mormons on hoard, and it was supposed that Mrs.
Hodgetts and family were • the number. With some
difficulty a bargain was struck with the captain Of, a
steam-tug, the Great 'Conquest, which shortly afterwards
i.t•rted in pursuit of.-the fugitives. Nothing was seen
of the Enoch Trail until the Conquest had crossed the ,
bar at the mouth of the Mersey, when her captain made
out the vessel with his glass, and screwed down his
safety valves. For two' or three hours the chase cot.-
tinned, when the Enoch Trail slackened speed, and the
Conquest was allowed to come alongside. As soon as
the errand of the pursuers became known, the greatest
excitement pervaded the passengers ; but after a great
, deal of wrangling and abuse,
_which,, lasted an hour and
a half, Mr. Hedgetts was allowed to take away his wife
and three of his children. The two eldest girls, aged
respectively 16 and 18, obstinately refused to go back.
Mr. Hodgetts is now once more safely housed with his
wife who, we believe, positively declares that she will
go back to the Salt Lake at some time or other. She
has brought back with her the greater portion of the
money, but not the whole."
