Moncure Robinson and Miss Sarah SissOn
Abel, well known young society people oil
Baltimore, eloped Tuesday to Chester, Pa,
and we're married by Mayor Howard II. Hous
ton. of that place. The brides stepmother,
Mrs. Philomena Abel, tried to stop the wed
ding. but she arrived in Chester too late.
The couple applied for dispensation from
Cardinal Gibbons. but ii was refused. They
went at once to Chester with Mrs. L. ii. Page,
of Philadelphia, and were married. Mrs.
Robinson Is Catholic and attends the Cathe-
dral. The elopement was entirely unexpected,
AS il had not been considered that Mr.. Robin
son was paying court TO Miss Abel.
A large barn belonging to VIM. NJ. Glenn,
near High Point, Hartford county, was de
stroyed by fire Wednesday morning, together
with most of its contents. The blaze broke
out about O'Clock and quickly spread, so
that il was with great difficulty that the live
stock was saved. number of hogs in an ad-
Joining pen were burned TO death before they
could be gotten away from the fire. Included
among the contents destroyed was a large
quantity of corn. hay, straw oats, several sets
of harness, farming implements and two wag
ons. The building was practically new and
no Insurance had been placed upon it or the
contents. thus entaiIing total loss. Mr..
Glenn is firmly of the opinion that the build
ing was fired by tramps who are seeking shell,
ter where it may be found during this cold
weather. Farmers in Hartford county are
using every effort to keep this class of people
off their premises.
