          LOVE FINDS A WAY. 
               ______ 
A Physician Run Down by a Laundry 
               Wagon. 
 SUFFOLK, VA., March 12.-Special.- 
William L. Cone and Miss Dora Saunders 
left Suffolk to-day for Gates county, N. 
C., for the purpose of marriage.  They 
arrived about sunrise from Isle of WIght [sic] 
county, their home, and took a train for 
Gates Station.  They had driven about 
twenty-five miles through the snow to 
reach Suffolk.  The elopement is a result 
of opposition on the part of Zochaliah [sic; Zachariah] 
Munford and wife, with whom Miss 
Saunders had lived. 
 Dr. William W. Murray, who formerly 
practiced in Baltimore, was run down to- 
day by a laundry wagon, whose horse 
had become frightened and broken away. 
He was bruised about the body and head, 
and was unconscious when picked up. 
No bones were broken.
