I., wore vary much excited this morning when it was stated that tho wife of Rev. W. A. Downs, pastor of the jVorthvillo Church,had eloped with O. Mitchell Terry, one of the lead ing men of the village and a deacon of the church. Rev. Downs is one. of the most popular clergymen in the eastern part of Long Island. He is heart-broken at his wifu’s in fidelity. Ha tendered his resigna tion as pastor, but it was not ac cepted by tbc deacons. This morn ing the clergyman received a tele gram from his wile, which told him that she was “happy with her dear Terry, and would never return to Riverhead." It is believed that the couple have gone to Florida where Terry has a sister who eloped some time ago with Capt. l’enny, leaving four children after her. Terry was an active politician (n Suffolk county. about-himself, in-whldlrhe'exfrisfni why he kucw he'would takd iu Ub^ nety.i parti; „ It shotM- (l^.ifnd*^ stood that “The, Secretary!’ is .the. stoty of a tutor's {rpals.‘"M knew the play would sdlt , mfi.” «alA ‘BH* Gillette, in 'spoaklngn-bPitj t’fM'ir had been a private tutog r myMl( once and got Into j.uotj)uoh a scrape.
