About twu o clock yesterday morning
scene was enacted in private chamber of
4 Hers Motel, which came near resulting ia
! tally to one of the participants. We give
the history OF the affair as 1t was related TO
/ US by person who is familiar with all the
| particulars. On Tuesday last a legal gentle
! man Of Lebanon, named Derr, formerly d
! Captain IN the army, paid a visit to this cit
| y. Ills wife, who seems to be troubled with
/ the "green-cyed monster land evidently
! not without cause, suspectlng. his mission
here to be for improper purposes, secretly
took the same train, unknown TO her faith
less lord, with view Of keeping am eye up
on his movements Some time during the
evening after her arrival in this city she call
ed upon officer Campbell, to whom she COM
inundated her suspicion that her husband
was in company with another womon, and
4 solicited that officers aid in 6nking out his
retreat. They first visited house some
where in River alley, where it was alleged
4 Captain Derr had formerly been in the ,hab-
! 1t Of visiting woman named Susan ldall,
/ but neither OF the parties were found there.
4 About one clock in the morning they went
/ to Herr hotel, discoyed the Captain name
4 upon the register made known the object of
| their visit, and requested to be shown to his
| chamber which request the clerk at once
| complied with.
On reaching the chamber door they found
! it locked, and knocked for admission, which
was at first denied them. After some little
delay, however, the door was opened, when
the truant husband and his female compan-
| ion were startled to find themselves confion-
ted by the wronged and indignant wife
| The scene was one which can better imagin-
ed than described. The Captain alright
ed and guilty paramour, the above named
Susan ldall, attempted to make her escape
out Of window, but the infuriate wife, her
eyes flashing fire, and breathing vengeance
against the seducer of her husband and the
| destroyer Of her peace, furiUusy assaulted
the woman with II knife, inhicting severe
cash across her forehead, scvering main
artery, from which the blood flowed profuse-
ly, Mrs. Derr was about to repeat the blow
which might have proved fatal, but officer
Campbell and her husband interfered and
prevented further violence. The injured
women was then removed to another room,
where she remained until surgeon was
summoned to dress her wound after which
officer Campbell escorted all the parties to
the Mayors Office. A hearing took place
yesterday morning, and, on the complaint of
Susan Idall, the wife Of Captain Derr was
held to bail for her appearance at the next
court to answer a charge Of te!onious assault
with intent to kill The Captain and his
paramour also entered bail for their appear
ance at court to answer charge Of adultery
made by the ancsting officer This affair
created decided sensation, attracted large
crowd Of people to the Mayors office, and
during the day. Whatever may be thought
of Mrs. Deer's conduct Oh the occasion, it
proves one thing, that
I" Hell has no fury like woman scorned."
