ELoPED WITH A NEGRO.
ROME, n. Y, Oct. l0-A rather
sensational elopcment occurred in
Herk!ner county few weeks ago,
the facts of which haYe just been
made public. In the little town OF
Litchiield, n few miles south of
Ilion, lived Mr.. ard Mrs. James
Smith, who were married about five
years ago. Two children were born
to them, and their marriage was
considered happy one by all until
recently, when Mr.. Smith became
abusive TO his wife. When intoxi-
Gated he would sometimes beat her
terribly. Buckley Smith, colored,
worked on the farm for Mr.. Smith
He often saw the quarrels between
husband aud wife, and took the
woman's part. Mrs. Smith formed
warm attachment for the negro
aud the latter part OF August the
couple eloped. They went to Her
kimer, and until a few days ago no
trace of them could be found. Re
Gently Mr.. Smith learned that the
couple were living together as man
and wife in the northern part of
Herkimer county. He swore out
warrants, charging assault in the
second degree against the man, and
outrage of public decency against
the woman. The woman was eX-
aInined before justice in Ilion and
released. The young negro is still
in the Herkimer Jail. Mr.. Smith
is goodlooking woman about %
years of age. Her many acquaint-
ances are shocked to learn of the
elopement, aud the matter has
caused much excitement in the vi
cinity.
