ELOP|NG WIFE IN

Mrs. Samuel Harrington
Gets Word She Is Forgiven.
Goes Home Tomorrow.

YORK, Pa, April 9.-The triple
elopement of residents of Alexandria
and Centralia. Va, which. was brought
to an end here by the arrest and i'm
prisonment of the principals, is to
have a more happy elimination than
anticipated. No criminal prosecutions
are TO be instituted by the deserted
husbands, two of whom already have
forgiven their wives Samuel iar-
rington, the Alexandria railroad en-
gineer, who said he was done with
his wife forever, because of the no
toriety her escapade has caused, will
follow in the footsteps of J. II. Craw-
ley and effect a reconciliation.
He sent a communication to Chief
of Police Bush at first to the effect
that he would not come here as he
had intended doing, but he has chang
ed his mind the second time and will
be here tomorrow to take Mrs. Har-
rington back home. When informed
that her husband would not have
anything to do with her in the future,
as he requested, she began to weep
bitterly and ate little.
Her distress won the sympathy of
Sheriff John Schum and he persuaded
her to write to her husband and beg
him for forgiveness. This apparently
won him over, as he wired last night
that he would be here for her to-
morrow.
The woman is in happy spirits, Gag
erly awaiting the proposed reunion.
Her freedom will require the payment
OF the fine imposed by Mayor Weaver,
as was done by j. III. Crawley.
Mrs. William Powers Mrs. Harring-
tons sister, who deserted her hus-
band and five children, Is despondent

They seem little concerned.

ert him and our dear daughter, in my
