WON HER HEART

An Accomplished Girl Elopes With a Railroad Hand.

Lock Haven, Pa., July 11.—During the construction of the Beech Creek, Clearfield and Southwestern Railroad, a branch of the Vanderbilt system, two Italians worked in a construction gang at Wayne who were of a better class than the average, and, being good scholars in their native tongue, were desirous of exchanging their knowledge for a like accomplishment in English. Living at Wayne was the daughter of A. S. Stabley a well-to-do merchant and Postmaster of the village. No pains or money had been spared upon this young lady's education, and at the age of twenty-two she was a bright, pretty girl of many accomplishments. To her the ambitious Italians went and a mutual exchange of knowledge was agreed upon. The railroad was finished and the Italians took their leave, Miss Stabley afterwards received letters from one of the Italians, but this course was not thought irregular by her parents, and no heed was taken of the future until last week, when Miss Stabley came to Lock Haven ostensibly to attend the Normal School Commencement, but as she did not return that night her father came here, and, on investigation, discovered that she bought a ticket at the Pennsylvania station for Newark, N. J., and had her satchel and other baggage which she had smuggled away from home checked for the same place. To-day a letter was received by the parents telling of their daughter's marriage to the Italian at Newark.
