On Thursday colored man named
William H. Harvey, said to be widower.
living at Tioga, Pa, arrived here and in
quired for the residence of Mrs. Harry
! Clay, also colored. He was directed and
driven to house on Mill street, on the
edge of the city. 1t appears that grass
widow had been living with the Clay fam
lily, and Harvey had been giving consid-
cradle attention to her, and says he saw
nothing improper in writing her frequent
letters, and had come to take her to his
home at Tioga. The woman was willing
and ready to accompany him, and so her
trunk and belongings were got together
and were loaded in the hack and driven
to the Pennsylvania Railroad station and
4 they took train for their destination.
Harvey says that before he got out of the
! house he was badly handled by Mrs. Clay.
She followed them to the depot and then
telegraphed to Burlington ahead of the
train to arrest Harvey on the arrival OF
the train there which was DONE and he
was locked up for the night, to await the
arrival of Mrs Clay to make her charge.
She did not put in an appearance at Bur-
lington, there being no charge to make
against Harvey, so he was discharged on
Friday morning to proceed to his home at
Tioga, where the grass widow had pro-
ceeded. There is talk of bringing suit
for false Imprisonment.
