Last Tuesday evening an elderly and respect

delphia in search of his married daughter, who
had run away from that city taking her babe,
tniueen months Old with her, in company with
deserter from the US. ship Reliance named

known his GRAND to the police, stating that his
daughter. Mrs. Sarah Marwood. had been per-
suaded by this man Tyson. during the absence
OF her husband John MarwOod. to sell off her
household effects and elOpe with him. This had
all been done without his knowledge, and his
goods had been sacrificed for little or nothing to
aHOrd them means to leave the city, which was
accomplished last Saturday. and he had started
IN pursuit as soon as he learned the direction they
had taken. He stated that TYSON was a sailor
on the Saratoga, and had been transferred to
the Reliance, and that the LIST of June last while
at Norfolk. Va. he had obtained leave of absence
LOT one week to be present at the funeral of his
sister. In Philadelphia. Instead of returning to
MS snip. he had been loafng about in his neigh
borhoOd-Master street, in the northern part of
mat city-and had succeeded in persuading Mrs.
Marwood to elope with him.
HUNTING FOR THE FUGTrrvEs.
He desired the aid of the detectives to look
for them in this city. Detectives McElfresh and
McDevitt started out and were not long in dis
covering that they had stopped at a boarding
house on Pennsylvania avenue, between Az and
9th streets. but as something wrong had been
suspected by the proprietor. they were turned
out and had found another place, No. 1104 Gar
rlson street, East Washington. kept by Mrs.
Rider. After locating them yesterday Afternoon,
the officers tried to have an interview with
them, but were denied admittance by Mrs.
Rider. who stated that they were staying there,
put mad taken walk inside the navy yard. The
officers suspectng that they were in the house,
ana that the landlady was inclined to screen
them from detection, left Policeman Smo0t to
keep an eye on the premises. while they re-
turned to seek for the father of the woman to
notify him.
ESCAPE OF TYSON.
Mnen they returned to the house Officer Smoot
told them that very soon after they had left Tyson
was seen to scale the fence of the backyard and
escape. The old gentleman finally was admitted
TO an interview with his daughter. who persist
entity refused to return with him. and even re-
FUSED to accept of his offer of house and lot
when ne promised to present to her on their
return to Philadelphia if she would abandon
tyson and return to her own home. After ex-
hausting every effort. and finding her determined
on her course. he left her and returned home
nearly heartbroken. 1t is reported this morning
mat the hayward woman has left the city with
tyson for parts unknown. Lieut.. Eckoff states
that IL was his purpose to have arrested this man
as desertcr. but that the naval officers will not
take any steps to hold deserter after the ship
from which the deserter has escaped leaves to
go TO sea- and as the Reliance is not now i'm port
ne could do nothing. Tyson is represented to
be a shittless and worthless fellow about the same
age as the faithless wife OF John Marwood.
