received by either the family Of ,he
bride the family of the bridegroom;
and the further report that negotiations had been
opened for the return Of the couple is wholly un-
founded. Governor Hubbard is obdurate and will
not listen t. any proposition Of that character The
belief that the couple at first sought place OF refuge
in New York is generally accepted correct, and
slight ripple of sensation created here tonight
by report that they had been seen in Montreal and
intended to extend their journey. The story tele-
graphed from here that they were secretcd in the
house of syTnpathizing friend in this city is pro-
nounced by persons well informed on the subject as
moonshine. and is attributed to gossip in tho
section were the Shepard family resae. 1t it is
true that they have been in Montrel it goes to
prove that Shepard had anticipated trouble and had
prepared himself with funds beyond the amounts
his friends report that he and Nellie had in their
possession when they left.
