III Ready to Marry u china Decorator.
Trenton Dispatch to Philadelphia Times.
The rumored elopement of lady teach
er of this city with young Trentonian
whose marriage with another young woman
had been already arranged is just now the
uppermost topic here. The young LADY
who was left at home resides with her
mother, Mrs. Emeline p. Wood, at 50
Spring street, but she is daughter by
previous marriage and her name is Emma
Anclein. She is a china decorator by
trade and is employed at Jesse Deans es-
Enlistment on Carroll street. The defaulting
lover is Amos Tindall, a mason, in the en-
ploy Of James Il. Morris, the contractor,
and he also resides with his mother, whose
residence is at SO Clark street, Chambers
burg. The expectation was that Ilndall
would marry Miss Ancleln on Sunday even
ing last. When the time arrived the
groom was missing, and subsequent in
quiries brought the information that he
had left the city on Saturday evening
That was bad enough, but when the news
was coupled with the further information
that Helen S. Britton, a teacher at the
Academy street school, had left about the
same time, there remained no doubts in
the minds of the expectant
bridegroom's friends that the two
had gone together. Miss Britton was an
old acquaintance of TindalPs before he
met Miss Anclein a year ago. He kept
company with the school teacher, anc
ever since his acquaintance with the pref
ty decorator he often cast furtive chances
at his old love. Their separation was the
result of a quarrel.
Miss Britton, on her side, seems to have
regretted the quarrel, and was jealous of
TindalPs attentions to Miss Anclein. By
degrees Tindall and Miss Britton renewed
their old friendship and to many it was of
late matter of uncertainty whether the
old or the new love possessed the strong
est attraction for the young mason. Miss
Anclein received him at her home regularly
and considered herself his affianced. Miss
Britton used to go to see him in the after
noon, after school hours, and would stand
watching him laying bricks until the days
work was completed, when she would &C
company him part of the way home. De-
spite these demonstrations Miss Anclein's
attachment prospered so well that T1ndall
some time since placed an engagement
ring on her finger. The news of this and
the projected marriage, which was to take
place at the Trinity M. E. parsonage on
Sunday evening last, were not pleasant for
Miss Britton. 1t is said that she threatened
to shoot Tindall if the ceremony came
off. Whether it was love or fear that actu-
ated him, Tindall continued his intimate
acquaintance with the school teacher and,
it is thought, eloped with her on Saturday
evening. The disappointment, of course,
was great to Miss Anclein and her folks.
All arrangements for grand dinner had
been made and the BRIDES dress was ready
to be donned.
Mrs. Wood, the mother of the deserted
girl, said to-day: ''The case is plain
enough. Tindall, whom I always thought
to be nice young man, has visited Emma
for nine months or year. They kept
steady company, and he asked me for the
privilege of proposing to her. L allowed
him. and he gave her an engagement ring,
which she still has. Their marriage was
finally arranged for last Sunday evening,
and he was to come up Saturday night
but he failed to do so. He did not come
Sunday morning either, and then Emma
began to grow anxious, and message was
sent to his house. His mother said he had
gone away the night before and that she
did not know anything about his marriage.
Then, after waiting till evening, we gave
up hope of seeing him, and soon found
that Miss Britton had gone to Philadel-
phia, where he also went. Miss Britton's
friends deny that she went with Tindall;
they say that she has gone on a visit
during the Christmas holidays to friends
in Philadelphia" 1t is said that Tindall
was seen in Trenton to-day, but if SO he is
keeping himself concealed from public
view.
