Ill.
A letter was also received by a
local man from Mrs. Wolford herself
and this was turned over to Chief
Burke. 1t was pathetic appeal for
the return of her child, and said that
she had no money.
The recorder told young Wolford
of his mothers letter and asked him
whether he had any means of getting
home If he was set at liberty. The
youngster said he had no money and
he was taken back to the lookup.
The recorder then explained the case
tc those in the courtroom, and Jack
Fitzpatrick, the man who had gone
to court to make a charge against
the boy, started the donations. Of
ficers and Others followed suit, and
a sufficient sum to return the prodi-
gal to Kingston was quickly thrown
in a heap on the recorders desk.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick left little later with
the boy and saw him safely off for
his homewafd journey.
Wolford, with two others, Mazelo-
sky and Stegewert, were charged
with committing many robberies in

Watson, and yesterday Judge Boor-
aem sent him to the reform school.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.


SOUTH AMBOY, Jan. s:-This
borough is somewhat excited over an
elopement of two prominent young
people here. Last Saturday Arthur
Mack, the assistant postmaster, dis
appeared without telling anyone
where he was going. His absence
was a mystery until it was learned
that Miss Hazel Diebert, who had
been visiting relatives in Jersey City,
had also mysteriously disappeared.
AS the two young people had been
keeping company for some time it did
not take long to decide that where
one was the other wound be found
AS yet, no tidings have been heard
from either of them, and their where
abouts are unknown. 1t is pretty
generally believed, however, that as
soon as they have enjoyed few days
honeymoon they will return and seek
parental blessings.
Young Mack, Saturday morning,
packed his grip and left on an early
train for the city. He gave no in
formation as to where he was going
or how long he would stay
Miss Diebert had been in Jersey
City several days and it is supposed
they were in constant communica-
ton, for, on the morning Mack dis
appeared, Miss Diebert also bid her
host goodbye with the intention,
as they thought, of returning to her
home here. 1t is evident, however,
that instead Of returning to South
Amboy, she went to New York at a
place agreed upon and there met
Mack and afterward they were mar
ried.
The parents on both sides have no
objection to the match, as far as can
be learned, excepting the youthful
ness of the couple. Mr. Mack is be-
tween nineteen and twenty years Of
age, and Miss Diebert is seventeen.
She was still attending school here.
