A Large Attendance-AbIeA Addresss

And an Interesting Entertainment.
 At the Good Samaritans' meeting held in Carll's Opera House last night there was a large and appreciative audience. Two able and interesting addresses were delivered and a pleasing and appropriate entertainment followed. William H. Conklin conducted the exercises. Music was furnished by Lan- drigan's orchestra. After singing by the audience and prayer by Vice President J. H. Moore President Conklin alluded to the dis turbance which was created by mum Der of boys in the gallery at the meeting held the previous week. He cautioned the boys against a repetition of it and told them what would surely follow in case they again dis turbed the meeting. In the course of his remarks Mr. Conklin referred to the faithful work done by the Samaritans and then ur- gently invited all present to assist the Sa- maritans in carrying out their humanitarian labors Sylvanus Butler was intro duced and made an earnest and forcible appeal to all present to help on the glorious temperance cause which is so beneficial to the race. Charles A. Baldwin followed in an eloquent and logical manner, depicting the ruin which alcohol causes and counselling all, and especially the young, to form habits of temperance and sobriety and thus become useful citizens.
 Professor Osborn, a member of Landri- gan's orchestra, executed violin solo in an admirable manner, eliciting hearty applause. Receiving an encore thessprofessor rendered another selection, which was equally well re- ceived.
 Howard W. Durand sang "The Wearing of the Blue," a temperance song, which was sung finely, and he received hearty applause.
 President Conklin announced that next Sunday night there would be 8 choice pro- gramme presented at Carll's Opera House.

AN ExC1TrNG RLoPEMRNT.

Fred Be Rockwell. n Former NeNW HAve
 ener, Elopes with Another Mans
 Wife at Red Bank, New Jersey-De.
 tectives and the WrOnged Husband
 Here i'm Search of H1m-His Wife in the Insane Asylum at M1ddletOwR.
 Sidney B. West, a business man of Red
 Bank, N. J., was in this city yesterday in cornpahy with couple of detectives, in search ot his wife and child. The former eloped last Friday with another man named Fred S. Rockwell, manager of the Monmouth
 skating rink and owner of 8 tea store. Rock well formerly resided in this city and mar ried woman who resided here also. His wife is still living. She was taken ill some time ago, and in hopes of change for the better was taken to her mothers home in this city. Her mother is we'll known here, and out of respect for the old lady's feelings her name is not mentioned in these columns. Her daughters illness developed into insan- ity, and she was taken to the insane asylum at Middletown.
 Mrs. Jacques, mother of Mrs. West who eloped, kept house for Rockwell, who was a
 very frequent visitor at Mrs. Vests, and it
 was said by the town gossips that something startling would soon occur. Friday last Rockwell left Red Bank for this city for the purpose of taking his little four-year-o old son, Ben, to his grandmother's here. The mother of the child before her recent ill.,
 ness had requested her mother to take
 care of her child if anything should ever happen to her. The grandparent wrote on to Rockwell 8 short while ago requesting him to send on little Ben to her home in this city. Rockwell on last Friday told his neigh
 bors in Red Bank that he was going away for short vacation, as his business was break train to this city accompanied by Mrs. West and her little daughter Maud, aged eight, and his son. Mrs. West wrote s note to her husband before her departure saying that she eloped with Rockwell because she loved him better than she did him. She stated that she left him through no fault of his. Detec
 tives were at once set upon the track of the couple. Detective Patterson, of Red Bank, has been in this city since Saturday morning. A telegram was received at the po- lice headquarters Saturday for Detective Pat terson, but he has not asked the aid of the police in looking up the elopers. The local detectives say that he is working quietly on the case. Another telegram was received at police headquarters yesterday which asked the police to watch @ house at No. 3S7 Grand avenue as Rockwell has relatives there and is supposed to have visited them after his de- parture from Red Bank. The police say that the people who reside at the above number disclaim all knowledge of Rockwell. Mrs. West first met Rockwell in a skating rink which he was running in Red Bank. Rock well formerly lived here. He was married here and then removed to Red Bank.

The play is one of intense interest and this interest gathers it's strength not from trashy sentiment, sen- sational situations and unchaste emotions, but from legitimate plot founded upon his trionic events, portrayed by excellent dia- Iogue, correct and handsome costumes and excellent mountings." The Evening Journal says in half column notice of the perform ance: "It can be truthfully said that it is a good play and admirably presented"
