NEWARK, Dec. 6--Iwo single trip
tickets to Philadelphia we're purchased at
Newark on last Friday afternoon aud two
light hearts were carried away on the
Newark Philadelphia commodationtrain
leaving here OF 2. Oh. II ia probable that
the couple will never return, for they have
gone with the ostensible purpose of being
married. Ordinarily, this would be moth
ing unusual in this course Of action, but
in this case the man was q married man,
named Howard McKinsey, with wife
and several small children. The girl
with whom he eloTed is tho IS years.0ld
daughter of John Iatnsepdap, a
very respectable man in the en-
ploy of the Dean Wooden Com
pany, where he has worked for many
years together with several of his children,
and among them the recreant Lizzie.
There has long been a certain intimacy
between the two which would hardly bear
an investigation, although il has not been
generally known, till a startling dis
covery was made some days ago, and
| which is believed to have hastenrd their
departure. Their intention was known
TO no one, and it was surprising piece
of information to the people here.
Mckinney, who is about 20 years of age,it
also employed in Deans mills, is quite
good looking, and has been the leader
of the Knights of Labor il
this town and vicinity. Ht
was married several years age
to his present wife who is now lying
critically i'll from recent confinement, ans
who at present is not acquainted with til,
perfidy of her husband. 1t is rumoreG
that q letter has been received from
McKinsey to his sick wife advising hei
not to hunt for him as he is tired of hel
, and will never return. The elopemen
has caused much CONSERVATION in town
and his former friends freely talk of ad
, ministering q coat of tar and feather
should he ever return. The families o
both parties ere in despair and terribl,
lament the sad affair and yet are power
less to find either party,so well have they
laid their plans It is supposed they wett
, married in Camden and fled for part
unknown"
