         DIVORCE, MARRIAGE AND MADNESS
The Insanity of Mrs. E. A. Elmore. 
Removed to an Asylum in Massachusetts
   After the wife of Henry S. Elmore had procured
a divorce from him, as recently reported in the
EAGLE, he married Mrs. E. A. Hutchins, with whom
he was implicated in the divorce proceedings. In
the decree of divorce granted by the Supreme Court
of New York State Mr. Elmore was require to 
abstain from marriage until the death of the
plaintiff in the suit, Mrs. Adeline Elmore. Mr.
Elmore was obliged to pay his divorced wife $7,607.91 
as alimony. A little over a week ago the following
appeared among the marriage notices in the EAGLE:
ELMORE-HUTCHINS--At Hamilton, Ontario, on the 28th
day of November last, by the Rev. D. H. Fletcher, 
H. S. ELMORE to Mrs. E.A. HUTCHINS, both of this
city.
   The announcement of the marriage caused consider-
able surprise, and before the acquaintances of the
parties have recovered from their astonishment, it
is reported that Mrs. E. A. Elmore has become 
insane and is now confined in a private lunatic
asylum in Massachusetts. Careful inquiry to-day
confirmed the report that the second Mrs. Elmore
is insane.
   Subsequent to their marriage in Canada on
Thanksgiving Day, Mr. Elmore and his bride came
to Brooklyn and took up their abode in Mrs.
Hutchins' house on South Oxford street. Soon 
afterward they sold the furniture and leased the
house. They then took up their residence at the
Mansion House. About three weeks ago they went to
New York to board. Mrs. E. A. Elmore began to
manifest symptoms of mental aberration. The loss
of social position caused by the publication of the
details of the divorce proceedings seemed to weigh
heavily on her mind. She constantly regretted her
actions, it is said, believing she had committed an
unpardonable sin against her first husband, who is
dead. Two weeks ago she became so violent that it
was found necessary to put her under restraint. The
necessary legal proceedings were taken, and a 
certificate having been procured, she was taken to 
the asylum.
   Mr. Henry S. Elmore is a well known resident of
Brooklyn, engaged in the produce business at No. 17
Moore street, New York. During the year 1877, while
he boarded with Mrs. Hutchins, it is alleged his
first wife discovered that he was too intimate with
her. In the Spring of 1878 Mr. and Mrs. Elmore 
separated. Divorce proceedings were at once institued
by Mrs. Elmore. The case was tried in Monroe County. 
It was proven by the testimony of several witnesses,
that Mr. Elmore and Mrs. Hutchins had behaved 
improperly together at Niagra Falls, Rochester, and 
at Brockport, N. Y., which places they visited as 
man and wife. No defense was put in and Mrs. Elmore
was granted a divorce on the ground of adultery.
   Mr. Henry S. Elmore was formerly a trustee of the
Tabernacle and one of Mr. Talmage's right hand men.
He was one of the trustees who retired because of
the difficulty concerning Mr. Morgan, the organist,
and he and Mr. Talmage are said to be on very
unfriendl terms. Three weeks ago Mr. Elmore's
excommunication from the Tabernacle membership on
the ground of immorality was announced from the 
pulpit. Nevertheless he attended divine service
in the church two weeks ago.
   Mr. Elmore was out of town to-day and it was
said he had gone to visit his wife. Mrs. E. A.
Elmore's insanity is said to be of a hopeless type,
and the physicians do not think she will ever be
restored. Mr. Elmore's son lives with his mother
and is ingaged in business with his father. Mrs.
E. A. Elmore has two children.
