Mrs. Trowbridge, the wife of George

On Wednesday morning Mrs. Trow-

that she was going away and would not

bridge of her intentions. She also got
the youngest daughter to take her'

It is rumored about South Norwalk
that Mrs. Trowbridge was accompanied
in her flight by W'illiam Jennings, the
son of James O. Jennings.
As young Jennings and Mrs. Trow-
bridge have been unusually intimate
for some time, the ramor is given con-
siderable credence. .
