One of the laborers engaged in relaying the track of the Auburn and Rochester Railroad was suddenly killed yesterday, while returning from his dinner in this village on an engine. He was sitting on the forward part on what is known as the "bumper" when the engine came violently in contact with a burthen car which the workmen were using and left on the track, rearing it up nearly upon one end, causing a rail which was upon it to strike one of the men, an Irishman from Rochester, but whose name we could not learn, in the mouth with such violence that he was almost instantly killed. Another man who was sitting next to him, had his foot badly injured, but not dangerously. Auburn Adv. July 30th
News Item
One of the most quiet villages of our county [Plainfield, NJ] has been quite excited by the base conduct of an Englishman, John Higman who has been somewhat largely engaged in the shoe business. It appeared by a statement in the Union that he eloped on Friday last with a young girl of 17 years, Phoebe Morrison, living in the place of which she is a native with her parents, leaving a wife and three children in utter destitution. One of his children is dangerously sick, and another but three weeks old. Higman is an Englishman, about thirty years old, quite stout, common size, dark complexion, heavy black whiskers, black hair and eyes. Just before he left, he borrowed considerable money, which, with debts previously contracted, makes, it is said, his indebtedness there some $400 to $500. He took with him also a box of boots owned by a New York dealer.
It appears the two have been making preparations for months, but with such secrecy that neither was suspected until beyond reach. They went to New York Friday morning, stopped at the Howard House, and left for Philadelphia the same night. An agent of Higman's largest creditor and a brother-in-law of the girl, started in pursuit of them, Saturday afternoon, via Philadelphia, and have not yet returned. We earnestly hope the villain will be overtaken. Newark Daily
