AsBURY PARK, N. j., Aug. 18-The
facts concerning sn alleged clandestine
marriage which involves q well-known
family OF Philsd alphia were made public
here to-day, wien the pretty young bride
has taken from her home by her hus-
band. The young woman in the case is
Mamie, the only child OF Thomas Mont
gomery, of the firm Of Lukens & Mont
gomeFy, real estate dealers of Philadel-
phis. No one knows exactly when the
marriage was performed except the young
husband and his wife and the clergyman
who tied the knit. This evening the
young wife left her pleasant home and
drove away with her husband In q COM
mon farm wagon.
Mr.. Montgomery last year purchased a
large p ct Of ground at InterlakeI, at the
head of Deal Lake, which lies between
Asbury Park and Deal Beach. Mr.. Mont
gomery erected fine cottage on the lot
nere be brought his wife and his only
child, Mamie, bright and pretty girl
about 20 years Of age. The manager OF
the Interlaken Land and Improvement
Company was Robert Il. Peters. Miss
Montgomery met Peters and became in
fatuated with him. Peters shortly after
wards went to live with the Mont.
gomerys. The young people were fire.
quently together.
In April Peters was removed from his
position as manager Of the land company.
Hs then leased on adjoining farm, with
Johnson Youmans as his partner. He
continued as boardey at the Montgom-
erys. The friendE OF the latter say that
early in June Mr.. Montgomery ordered
him to leave the house. Miss Montgom-
cry interfered and Peters remained. On
the first Sunday in August Mr.. Peters
and Miss Montgomery went to New York
together and returned the same evening.
To number of his friends Mr. Peters
subsequently claimed he had been mar
ried that day to Miss Montgomery. Late
this afternoon young Peters drove up to
the Montgomery house with an old-fssh.
toned farm wagon. The young woman
came out. Young Peters went into the
cottage and brought out two trunks. The
girl mounted the seat of tho wagon,
while her husband, still in his shirt
sleeves, seated himself upon one of the
two trunks.
They drove over to the farm OF John
Hance in the pines, where the young
husband secured board three days ago.
Mr.. Montgomery is in Philadelphia at
tending to his business affairs. Mrs.
Montgomery is prostrat4d by her

The Democrats Of Delaware have nomi-

strong and we think will be winning

sister State. Although believing this,
we trust for The good OF our party that
all the faotional differences epgendsred
in the past few years will be healed.
These are always frsueht with danger,
and the sooner arighted the better.

NluultIuMl NOW bOHls
The work of the Democrats, in con.
vention assembled at Dover on Tuesday
last, was we'll done. 1t demonstrates the
determination to do and win, and it can
be claimed by no faction as victory.
The party is united one, and although
Mr.. Reynolds may not nave been the
preference OF many, we know not of
and do not believe there is a single
Democrat in the State but will support
him, both by voting and working for
his election. 1t seems to us the Demo-
orats OF this State, following the ex-
ample of their sister state Pennsylvania,
realize that harmony and united party
are necessary to insure supremacy, and
are willing to side-track individual
preferences to gain that victory that is
sure to follow. 1t has been q surprise
to the Republicans-they have main
tanned that harmony was impossible,
but principles has been the ruling spirit
in years agone, and we are more than
gratifed to believe, from past experience
