(New York Sun, Jan. 25.]
Frederick H. Brydges, the hero of the
Brydges-Mackenzie scandal, has been a
resident of Phoenixv;lle. Pa, for the last
two or three months. He was sent there
by his father (who has been a great
friend to the firm Of Clarke, Reeves &
Co., bridge builders) for the purpose of
eating an insight into practical IRON
making. Coming highly recommended
he was at once lionized by the best soci-

low withal. and whenever off duty might
be seen parading the streets with the
most beautiful and gifted Of ladies. Ru.
NOR has it that if he had so willed, more
than one Of them was so smittcn that all
he had to do was to speak the werd and
they were his, and on Sundays he had
the choicest pew in the Episcopal Church.
He had rooms in one Of the vii.

articles of vertu and warlikc
Instruments, and generally took his meals
in an adjoining restaurant. About two
weeks ago there came by express three
large Saratoga trunks so heavy that the
porters could hardly carry them. These

THE SECOND ELoPEMEET.
The second elopement, which took place
On Saturday night, seems to have been
cunn,ngly arranged by the lovers after
their ARE t at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
They found some means of communicat.
ing with each other. both being plentiful
ly supplied with money, and before Mrs.
Mackenzie was taken to the Windsor
Hotel, on Saturday, by her brother, G. F.
Allan. and her cousin, w. N. Benyon, she
had arranged place and time of meeting
Bridges. She refused to return to
Montreal with her brother, but
when told that her father and
mother were coming to meet her said she
would 60 back with them, and promised
not to attempt to escape from the hotel
bofore their arrival. Her seeming SINGER
ity, her exhibitions Of affection for her
children who were with her, and her ap.
parent remorse partially allayed the
fears Of her relatives, and, although they
occupied room opposite hers in the
Windsor, they seemed not to have
watched her movements very carefully.
After the separation Bridges pretended
that he was going to return to Montreal,
but instead Of leaving the city he went on
Saturday to the Hoffman House and
registered as j. II. Brydgcs of Phoenix.
vile. At night he hired a cab and
drove to the place where Mrs.
Mackenzie had agreed to meet him.
Meanwhile Mrs. Mackenzie. who had
been detained at dinner, succeeded in
evading her brother and counsin, and hur.
riedly putting on her bonnet and cloak,
was seen to leave the hotel by the south

they drove to the Hoffman house, where
Bridges stopped to pay his bill and order
his baggage out. The fleeing couple went
to Philadelphia and registered at the Con-
tinental Hotel as Mr.. and Miss Bridges.
Mr.. Andrew Allan, the father of Mrs.
Mackenzie, and G. J. Bridges, the father
of j. H. Bridges, and his brother.in-law,
came to New York by special train on
Sunday. Mr.. Allan stopped at the Wind.

AT PHILADELPHIA.
At half-past nine o'clock Mr.. Bridges
and his companion ate breakfast together
and then took stroll on Chestnut street.
Upon the arrival of the 1910 train from
New York, the young mans father, Mr..
G. G. Bridges, approached the Cont.
mental clerks desk in company with Mr..
Kenney, leading lawyer of Montreal,
the only representative Of the injured
husband who has yet appeared ON the
scene. The two desired to be shown to
the young mans room, but as he and the
lady were cut promenading, the two gen.

Jr., and the lady returned to the hotel,
and young Bridges was informed that his
father had arrived. He was greatly taken
