Romantic. marie Eugene Bariol made affi-
dayit, yesterday, that on or about the Goth Of
September, 1910, she was married in the CITY
of Vera Cruz to one Victor, better known as
Jean Francois Adema. That shortly after the
marriage, circumstances compelled her husband
to leave Mexico, and he accordingly departed
for France, accompanied by deponent and her
sister, Marie Virgnie Bariol. The three took
up their residence in the city of Bordeaux,
where they lived up to October, l843, when
Jean Francois Adema suddenly decamped with
his sister in law leaving his wife among stran-
gers, friendless and destitute. She ascertained
that her faithless lord and heartless sister had
come to this city, and she managed to make her
way hither not long a ago, when she learned
that they were living together, had probably
contracted marriage, and had certainly be-
gotten quite a number of children. Where
upon she charges the parties with the crime of
bigamy, and prays that they be dealt with
according to law. A warrant was issued for
their arrest.
STABBlNG AFFAIR.--Mr John Shanolinburgh,
game-keeper of the ST. Charles Billiard Sa-
loon, on Gravler street, was egerely stabbed
yesterday by Mrs. Bridget Murphy under the
following circumstances John, it app,ars, had
been rather intimate with one Bridget Quinn, a
daughter of Mrs. Murphy by former mar
riage, and plump, rosy checked Irish girl, al
together inviting to Dutchman of carnal pro-
pensities, as John appears to have been The
old lady became impressed with the idea yester-
day that something was wrong in consequence
of her daughter remaining out to very late
hour, and accordingly demanded an explana-
ton. That explanation not proving satisfacto-
ry, she proceeded to the billiard saloon in COM
pany with her daughter, and called the amorous
offender to the door.
What passed between them in the way OF
words has not TRANSFERRED, but it is known that
after some angry alteration the old lady drew
a bright keen clasp knife, which she had prob-
ably purchased for the occasion, and plunged
it into his abdomen. John turned to flee, and
received two more wounds in his back he was
pursued into the bar-room by the Infatuated
woman, who finding herself losing ground,
turned and ran in the opposite direction with
her daughter, in the hope, probably, of avoiding
an arrest. They were soon oyertaken, however,
by policeman, and locked up in the police jail
of the First District to await the result of the
wounds inflicted. AT a late hour last night we
learned that Shanolinburgh was very weak from
loss of blosd and in rather q critical condition !;
but it was thought by his physician that he
would recover.
