in Exciting Occurrenes-Sepsr0tion Of a
Husband end Ig.ts-Th Husband STEMS a,cGy
The Children.-A scene took place yesterday
morning, on board the steamer Interchange,
which for time caused ripple of excitement
in the usual calmnesS of things about the land
ing. On the last trip up of the Interchange, n
man by the name of Taylor, took passage on the
boat at Maysvillc, having in his possession two
interesting; looking children, one of whom was
mere ininnt. The man seemed troubled and
c st down, but nothing transpirel to reveal the
until the boat arrived at ParkerSburs.-
While she was lying there, another boat arrived,
bringing man and woman rs passengers who
i immediately came aboard the interchange where
the woman announced herself rs the wife of
Taylor, and stated that he was running away
with her children. Her companion was broth
cr who intended To see justice done. The whole
party were now in the hall of the boat, when
Taylor, with burst of indignation proclaimed
his wife prostitute, told of her infdelity, and
exposed all the circumstances which lead to the
separation. 1t seems that the Taylors lived
near MaySyille, Kentucky. The husband is a
man about fifty years fagc, while the wife is
much his junior, End her gay, Haunting style Of
dress causes her to look even younger than she
is. The husband is quite wealthy, and for some
years they had lived pleasantly together
LATELY, Taylor began to suspect Tie infidelity
o. his partner in more instances than one, but
said nothing until he discovered the truth be-
yond the shadow Of doubt He watched the
destroyer Of his peace, who, it seems, was a
hyPocritical professor of religion-saw him en-
ter the door OF his church, followed and cow
hided him in the aisle, and afterwards beat
HIM till the hypocrite was scarcely able to rise.
Taylor then stole away his children, and took
passage on the Interchange aud arrived ut Par
kcrSburgh as stated. Various efforts were made
by the passengers and officers of the boat to
reconcile the parties, but to no effect The
children seemed TO be the only objects of co1.-
tentjOn in the settlement of the affair, each
party wishing TO retain them. The husband,
wife and children arrived here on Sunday en-
hoard the Interchange. The woman kept con-
Stantiy quarreling aud pleading with her hus-
band for the children; and we learn that during
the passage from Purkersburg to this city, she
several times threatened his life if he did not
give them UT. About o'clock yesterday
'HO''"'iS' lnynr HoN the oldest chlId away nnd
left it in charge of gentleman on Main street
lie ti'en went back to the boat and hired boy
to steal away the other and take it to the Balti-
more Il Ohio Railroad Depot. just as the train
was moving off the father and two children got
on and were borne rapidly eastward. The
mother was perfectly frantic with mingled
feelings of grief and anger when She discovered
that ths children were gone. From the large
amount of money in Tnylor's possession, it is
Snppo$od he must have disposed of his proper
~ at a sacrifice in anticipation of the events
narrated.
