Troy, n. Y, September 1.-The vii
lSge OF Coeymans has furnished a SEN
satlonal double elopement in which are
involved persons of high social position
and considerable wealth. Three months
| ago daughter of Daniel Wiltsie was
married to Edward Palmer. Palmer
had been engaged to young lady who
| dled before the day set for the wedding,
| and after his marriage to Miss Wilt
sic informed a friend that his love
was buried with his first fame. This
intelligence reached the ears of Palmer's
wife, and frequently thereafter she was
seen IN the company of George Wiltsie,
her cousin. Thursday night George
| and his brother Frank attended ball at
Coeymans and yesterday morning both
| were missing, as were also Mrs. Palmer
and Miss Hattie Tompkins, daughter of
wealthy farmer, and who had been re-
| celvlng the attentions of Frank
surreptitiously, he having been for
bldden to visit her residence by
her father. A ladder on the outside of
Iompklns' house and leading to Hat
ties room, and the absence of her trunk
and wearing apparel, were sufficient to
explain that she had flown with Frank.
In Mrs. Palmer's room was found let
ter stating that she loved her cousin
George more than she did her husband,
whom she had married because her par
! ents compelled her to. Accordingly, she
had eloped with George, and ex-
pected to live a life of happi-
ness III Michigan. Later in the day
1t was learned that two trunks had
been secreted in cornield near the
girls residence. They carried their
clothing to the trunks whenever oppor-
tunity afforded. Palmer had purchased
his wife a couple of dresses and jewelry
only week before her disappearance.
1t is believed that the elopiag couples
left IN each others company. No trace
of them further than that a hack was
seen before daylight driven rapidly away
from the village has been secured The
wronged husband is grief stricken, and
announced his intention of taking i'm
mediate steps to discover the wherea-
bouts of his three months bride.
