A Runaway wife Caught.

Special to the Sunday Morning Menus.
NEWARK, August "A, 1889. Constable
G. A. Hays, OF Justice Sommer's court,
played the role of Peeping Jack to good
purpose this morning. Yesterday after
noon Adam Augustine of No. 10 West
Kinney place, appeared before the Justice
alleging that his wife Juliana had de-
serted him and gone to live at No. 50
Houston street with Karl Wilhelm
Kreiner, a former boarder at her house,
and swore out warrant Tor the arrest of
the two on charges of adultery. Hays
went to the Houston street house this
morning, but no amount of knocking
would bring any one to The door. The
neighbors were sure Mrs. Augustine was
in and Hays was determined to find out
if such was the case.
The back kitchen has skylight. HAYS
gave boy quarter TO secure him q lad
der, and mounting to the roof of the cul-
mary department he saw the woman
peacefully peeling potatoes with an ac-
compartment in the way of a vocal rendi-
ton of the Sweet Bye and Bye" Then
the constable descended.
"Open the door or down it goes" he
threatened, and emphasized his remarks
by whack from a cordwood stick that
threatened to reduce the panels to kind
ling wood. The siege was soon raised
and the woman opened the door to find
herself in custody. Then Hays went to
Gould & Eberhardt's factory on Railroad
avenue, where Kreiner is employed, and
arrested him also. The two were taken
before the Justice and committed in de-
fault of $500 bail each. Hays duties were
not over with the arrest. He went to the
furniture which the woman had taken
from her husband, returned it to the lat
ter's abode and gave the keys of the room
to Mrs. Augustine's sister.

raE SOUTH BOUND DIRECTORS.
Herman Meyers Elected President OF
the Company.

t4c OOA4 PoA4ls
The postponed election Of the South
Bound railroad officers was held yesterday.
Col Mike Brown was here the early part
of the week comforting with the local
friends of the movement as to certain ar
rangements at the South Carolina end Of
the line, and it Is believed that a mutual
understanding was reached whereby the
road already built and being operated by
Col. Brown, between BIackville and Barn
well, viii be part Of the South Bound
Capt. John L. Hammond declined re-
election to the presidency Of the road, but
is as follows:
Herman Myers, B. A. Denmark. Esq,
william 5; Tison, John L. Hammond.
7. F. Stubs, ]. F. Minis,
John Lawton.
Herman Myers was elected president, B.
A. Denmark vice president, and William 8.
Ilson sec etary and treasurer.
1t Is understood that a construction COM
pany viii be formed in Savannah TO build
the road, and charter viii be applied for
as soon as the requisite amount of stock in
the railroad company is assured.
1t Is said by a gentleman who Is well
posted In the affairs of the South Bound
that when the Savannah friends of the
road went over to Barnwell they were met
there by northern capitalists who had been
invited by Col Brown TO Barnwell, and
the entire party was entertained by Col.
Brown, at whose home the South Bound
was discussed in all its details, and the cap
Italists from the north gave the visitors to
understand that If certain proportion of
stock is taken along the contemplated line,
and at Savannah, the money viii be
promptly forthcoming to build the road.
MIR. J. l. Morrison, Of Morrison, Foye s.
Co., OF this city, speaks in glowing terms OF
the value TO this city of the South Bound
road, and the section through which it is
projected. Mr.. Morrison is also connected
with store at Blackvllle, and is familiar
with the resources and possibilities of that
section of South Carolina, which will be
made tributary to Savannah by the build
ing Of the South Bound
Mr.. Morrison and the party of south Car
olina merchants who were in the city q few
days ago recognize Col. Brown, the moving
spirit in the South Bound, as a man full of
enterprise, whose influence at the South
Carolina end OF the road will insure active
work in pushing the enterprise there It is
the intention to push the canvass here and
all along the line, and with as little delay as
possible.
1t is believed that the new road will not
only largely increase the naval stores and
cotton receipts of Savannah, but open out
a large field for the products of the fer
tilizer factories of Savannah, and bring
about closer commercial relations with the
growing towns and cities of South Caro-
lima
