WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1. An Accommodating Husband..The wife of Elias Van Amberg, a well-to-do flor¬ ist and gardener at Arlington, Hudson coun¬ ty, N. J., eloped last Saturday wilb TbarUs Byram, the hired man, taking with her their three children and all the household furni¬ ture. No effort is being made by Van Am¬ berg to recover his wife, children or proper- erty. Byram is twenty tivo years old and good looking, according to the husband's MaleuiHut, and was employed about a year ago. He soon found favor iu the eyes of! Mrs. Vau Amberg, who is thirty-four years old. Io a abort time Van Amberg had lit¬ tle to say about the running of the place, as hi? wife nod Byram took that responsibilty offhishaDds. Byram and Mrs. Van Am¬ berg went away on several little trips which caused some gossip, but which the husband took in good part. Finally the husband re¬ monstrated with his wife in a mild way, which hastened matters to a climax. On Friday last he noticed her packing up goods and asked her if she was going away. She replied that she was. He asked her if she had weighed the matter well and Bbe reply¬ ing she had, he appeared perfectly satisfied. He went to market Saturday morning, and ou bis return found that his wife, children and furniture, likewise the hired man, were missing. Van Amberg and his wife have been married seventeen years and have three children, two girls and one boy. He takes bis wife's departure in a most philo¬ sophical manner. Candidate for Congress.
