MRS. com MissIsa AGAIN.
Her Husband Says That She Has Left With
William yannote.

William Gold of Center Hill, Bucks
county. Pa, has been making inquiries
in New Castle in regard to the where
abouts OF his wife. Lillian Gold, aged
"a years, who be says left her home on
August 81 last with man named Will
liam Vannote, aged about 46 years.
The couple were seen together at New
Hope and afterward at Lansdale. Pa.
The woman left three small children
behind her, the eldest of whom is 6
years and the youngest about 10 months
This is the second time she has
eloped with the same man. She went
away on May 18th, 1886, and took with
her the youngest child. then about IL
months of age. She also took with her
blanket and a small sum of money.
The man with whom she eloped had NO
money, and, in fact, practically de-
pended upon the husband OF Mrs. Gold
for subsistence, while Gold worked
upon farm for SIS per month and
board.
They we're traced at that time to
Lansdale, thence to Landenberg and to
Newport, and were finally located at
State Road, about two miles below
New Castle, staying with a stepson of
Vannote's. After some persuasion
Mrs. Gold consented to go with her
husband, providing be did her no bodily
harm. This, he agreed to, and they
| left New Castle that night on the 10. 10
o'clock train for Wilmington, where
they remained over night and then took
the boat for Philadelphia, returning
home on Sunday afternoon.
The news Of the second elopement
with Vannote was received last week.
Search in the neighborhood of State
Road has failed to bring to light the
clippers and it is thought that they
have taken another course this time,
but the husband of the woman states
that ne is positive that they are located
near there. In letter to friend he
says he will have his revenge IL be goes
to the gallows for it. He may yet
carry his threat into execution. AT
one time an officer took a revolver from
him and for fear that he would dc
violence with it did not return it until
the handspring had been removed.
