TIE EPHRATA ELOPEMENr.

"Forgive Me, Darling, Didn't Know What
Was Doing"
We recently published the particulars Of
the elOpement of Mrs. Schnader with
young Moore from Ephrata, this county.
The Pottsville Chronicle thus narrates the
dsnouemsnt Of the scandalous affair
A very sensational aspect was put on
very ordinary elopement case by the cap
ture of the elOpers and tho unqualified
forgiveness of the woman yesterday. The
facts Of the case are as follows: On the
2Sth Of March last Emma Schnader, wife
Of Christian o. Schnader, the keeper of a
refreshment saloon at Ephrata, Lancaster
county, left her home and husband with
NJ. d. L. Moore, a good-looking young
fellow who was employed as her husbands
clerk. The guilty pair went to Lancaster,
Harrisburg and then up to Dauphin, and
finally on the 1st of March came to Potts
vile where they registered at the Ex-
change hotel as " NJ. r. Graham and wife,
Lancaster" The woman was lively lit
tie thing and attracted considerable atten-
ton. Graham, after several weeks idle
ness, secured job as a moulder at George
A. Snyder's foundry, where he has since
been employed, giving satisfaction with
his work. On Saturday night man
| registered at the Merchants hote!
under the name of G. G. Good, stating at
the same time that such was not his name.
He was accompanied by Henry c. Ginther,
constable from York county. They
hunted up Officer Kaercher and placed in
his hands a warrant for the arrest of the
paramOur of Mrs. Schnader, whom they
had reason to suspect was in town. Officer
Kaercher, after a search through the
hotels, located the runaways at the Ex-
change hotel and yesterday afternoon
aroused them from bed and arrested Moore.
He was given a hearing before Squire
Reed on charge Of enticing the woman
away, which had been made before
Sol. Myers, esq, of York county, on
the 2Sth of April last. Moore plead
guilty and was sent to Jail, This action
and the whereabouts of his wife we're
then communicated to Schnader, who then
went to the Exchange hotel in search of
her. On entering her room she came for
wart to greet him and scene ensued. She
fell ON his shoulders and wept and begged
to be forgiven on the ground that she did
not know what she was doing, and, he for
getting his injuries, begged that she
should do likewise. Their osculatory GER
emonies were startling and served to fill
with disgust the York constable, who had
been on the hunt since April IT, with a
re-breathing husband, as he supposed.
After lavishing their affections on each
other the reunited husband and truant
wife promenaded down street to the
Merchants, the observed of all observers.
Moore spent the night in Jail, and this
morning husband, wife, paramour and
constable started for Lancaster county all
in merry mood-Schnader and his wife
being particularly so.
| Later Particulars.
Yesterday Moore was brought on to
Lancaster, by Detective Henry c. Ginder,
of York, through whose instrumentality
his hiding place was discovered. He was
taken before Alderman Wiley to answer a
complaint of surety ofthe peace preferred
against him by c. C. Snader. the hus-
band Of the woman with whom Moore
eloped. In default of bail he was COM
lnitted to answer at next term of quarter
sessions court. 1t is probably that Snader
will make compliant of adultery against the
guilty couple in the courts of Schuylkill
county, as they we're arrested while occu-
pying the same bedroom.
Mrs. Snader is now stopping with her
relatives in Ephrata. She says she loves
Moore and couldn't help running off with
him.
