An El"pement that Causes a Sensation i'm
the Quiet Town.
fDlspstch to PhlladolphIa Press.


Dispatch to Philadelphia Press.
SMYRNA, August l0.-The quiet town il
greatly excited over the elopement OF two
| young persons well known In this part OF
| the State. On Sunday, at midnight, Harry
Ashcraft, 90 years of age, the son of DR..
| Ashcraft, the leading physician of this town
left home with Miss Carrie Leatherberry, of
Chester, Pa. They drove as fer as ST.
GeorRe's, in New Castle county, where the
team was abandoned and sent back in
charge OF an unknown man. The couple
then proceeded to Philadelphia, where, it is
thought, they were married.
Miss LeatherberTy is relative of the
widow of the late Howard Peterson, who
resides at Belmont Hall, one of the oldest
and most beautiful residences In the State
She has been spending her summers at Bel
mont for several years. About two years
ago she became acquainted with Harry
Ashcraft, but the l.eatherberry family and
the Petersons objected TO his attentions to
the young lady.
Miss Leatherberry is II years of age, and
recently gradusted from the Young Ladies'
Seminary, at BOrdeptown. Durirg the
past two years she has corresponded with
Ashcraft under fictitious name on account
of the surveillance of her mail by college
authorities, who were under Instructions
from Miss Leatnerberry's pa rents. When
the young lady graduated, in June, her
lover sent her handsome present, which
caused some trouble in her family.
About three weeks ago she made her usual
summer visit to the historical mansion, uu-
der promise that she would avoid Ashcraft.
and, further, to insure her protection, Mrs.
Peterson, the owner of the Rouse and park,
forbid him tresspassing, under penalty, but,
Notwithstanding these precautions, the
couple met frequently. These meetings, it
is alleged, were effected by the aid of other
guests at B imont Hall.
For several weeks past, Ashcraft hinted
that he would soon be married and settle
down In Leadville, but his friends thought
It joke. On Sunday night he drove to
Belmont, where Miss Leatherbury Joined
him, and the two hastily drove out OF town.
The next morning Mrs. Peterson and Mrs
Leatherberry, the young lady's aunt, came
to Smyrna inquiring for the girl thinking she
had remained over night with some friends
in town. The affair was kept quiet because
of the prominence of the parties concerned.
Several frieds of Ashcraft have received let
tiers from him, and he has written to his
family that he and Mrs. Aschratt will re-
turn to Smyrna on Sunday. The families
Interested refuse to talk on the subject, and
1t is thought that the lady's relatives will
seek SeparatioD.

pOsal of an Estate.
BALTIMORE, August 10.-The Orphans
Court concluded to-day its hearing of the
question OF administration on the Schmidt
estate, valued at $4,000. The question TO
be decided was which died first, Wilhelm
Schmidt, the murderer AM suicide, or his
victim, Mrs. Mary Schmidt. Ii Schmidt
survived, his estate would go to relatives i'll
Germany. The two bro hers of Mrs. Sch
midt, Messrs. tiross, were entitled to ad-
minister, and.to the property, if the wifi.
had survived her husband.
Officer Sehleight testified that when hc
entered the house he went up stairs and
saw the man lying on the floor. He then
went down stairs and felt that Mrs. Schmidt
had pulse and was not dead. Officer
Murphy testified that as he went up stairs
he felt Mrs. Sehmidt's arm, and 1t was
warm. He went up stairs and saw the man
lying on his back dead. The Court decided
that it was of the opinion that the wife sur
yiyed her husband about 10. or 10 minutes,
therefore, the administration would be-
granted to her brothers on Mrs. Schmidt's
estate,

and that so many others, who remembered
the tete day, sent kind and cheering
letters. In doing the honofs OF his hospit-
table house Mr.. Abel was assisted by his
sons, Messrs. Edwin F. Ahell, George Abel
and Walter r. Abell. The entire absence
OF ceremony made every one feel ut hsme
and rounded off most delightful afternoon.
The portrait OF Mr.. A. s. Abel, In the re-
ception-room, was entwined In roses, an
opposite the picture was a beautiful floral
design, the centre of which composed the
d.tes s.lS06.lSS3." A full freighted steam
ship made of roses, iaponicas and lilies, under
headway in an evergreen sea, was he chief
of the floral offerings dedicated to the occas-
