Of its citizens. George Sutton, the pro-
prietor of the hotel, came to Sing Sing
several years ago from Peekskill. He had
several daughters. About year ago DR..
Amandus Schroeder, also resident OF
Peekskill, came to Sing Sing and put out
/. his sign. He has handsome residence on
Highland Avenue, one of the most aristo-
cratic streets of the village, and has OBJ
tanned large and lucrative practice.
The Misses Sutton and Miss Mary
Agatha Adelaide Schroeder, daughter Of
the doctor, became very intimate, and the
latter was very often to be seen sitting
with the former on the broad piazza Of the
hotel. Among the boarders at the hotel is
Colonel I. L. Moore, a civil engineer en-
gagged on the new aqueduct. When Mr..
Shryock came to the hotel, being a civil
engineer, he and Colonel Moore became
fast friends, and in the course Of few
days Colonel Moore introduced him to
Miss Schroeder. They seemed to enjoy
each others society, frequently met at the
hotel with the Sutton family, and Shry-
ock soon was regular caller at the doc
tors residence. A few days ago the
young lady's parents were apprised oI
tie fact that they had become engaged.
A few days ago Mr.. Shyrock called at
the doctor's residence to take Miss Schroe-
der out for ride. As the young lady
took her seat in the carriage her mother
called out to her.

and arrived, the afternoon wore on,
and soon dewy eve with the gathering
shadows was upon all around, but still
nothing had been heard Of the two lovers,
The DOCTORS wife remembered what she
said to them as they drove of, and go'
frightened. The evening was we'll ad
vanced when a buggy drove up to the
Schroeder residence, and 1t was not many
moments before the couple were again be
meath the maternal roof. It was theii
original intention 10 keep their doings o.

questioning of father and mother soor
brought out the fact that they hat
driven to Irvington, about eight miles
below Sing Sing, gone to the residenct
Of Rev. Silas Fitch, and were regularly
married according to the rules Of the
Methodist Church. The parents were
very much surprised, but could see NJ
good in getting angry over 1t. On the con
trary the doctor brought out his best winc
and cake, and the healths Of the newly
welded couple were several time
quaffed.
Rev. Mr.. Fitch says that the couple
drove up in their buggy at about noon
time, and Mr.. Shryock got out, came int
the ouse, and said he wanted to get mar

many recent runaway marriages, eye'
him sharply, and told him to bring tn,

alliances. The minister said he was fur
