TEE FAST RUTLAND SENSATION.
A Supcrs,ui,y OF wives.

w believe that Ann Eliza Young, the
thirteenth or fourteenth wfe-we forget
wboli-of the great prophet brigham, has
never visited Our quiet town to give her OK
periencc. and we would here suggest, before
going any farther, that tbs is good field
for her TO work in, Judging from a single
instance, the details of which We arc about
to unfold. But despite the fact that the
said Ann Eliza has never shown her sor-
rowful and woc-rcvealing yisagc here, we
have lately seen and convcrscd with as near
Il representative of that down-trolden and
much-abused class of wives as the State of
Vermont has thrown around the light of its
vlrtuous institutions.
That the peaceful town of Rutland has
been harboring a second Brigham Young
within its borders, for the past year and
more, is not, to say the least, a congratula-
tory reflection. But the wiscst of people
are prone to be deceived and nfamy and
crime stalk abroad in open day upon the
streets of the most peaceful community.
Law and order are daily set at naught and
the moral teachings of church and state are
quietly over-riddcn or boldly laughed to
scorn.
There came to Rutland some eighteen
months ago an Englishman named Eli Col
lier, direct from London, with wife and
family of two children. He was shoe
maker by trade, and soon obtained work at
the shop Of a. II. Albec on Center street
He was some forty years of age, good
workman and steady in habits. Some six
months thereafter he was hired by Mr..
Louis Naliquettc, the wcll-known boot and
shoemaker on Merchants Row, TO work in
his shop, and hiring rooms in Buifum's
block, opposite, he settled down as per-
mancnt citizen. During the time he was
thus employed he received an addition TO
his family, and his children now numbered
three. lie worked for Mr.. Naliquctte UNI
til quite recently, to the entire satisfaction
of his employer, and being a constant at
tendant of certain church in town, he
! became member and commitment there
Of Quite recently he removed his family
across the street into Exchange block, and
went to work for Gregg Valiquette, on
Centre street.
On Thursday last there arrived in Rut-
land the woman mentioned above, whosc
appearance created something of a com
motion in the Collier camp. She had ar
rived III New York per steamer from Eng
land and her objective point seemed TO be
Rutland. Her first movement on setting
foot in town was TO interview the spiritual
adviser of Collier, which resulted the next
day in said adviser and woman calling al
the house of Mr.. Collier. There she de
cared herself the wife of the head Of tn,
house and mother of the two eldest chill
dren. The husband Of two wives wiltcd
and wife No. 9, who had ruled with dus
pan and broom the house of the lcige lore
for eighteen months or more, quietly ''dul
out" Wife No 1 asserted her rights a
she intended and assumed command. TIN
husband submitted to the change Of circum
stances and is still at his bench.
1t is evident that wife No. knew wei
what she was doing when connecting her
self with Collier she is about twenty-tw,
years of age, Of Welsh extraction, and wa
picked up by Collier since he came TO hi
, country. The children arc bright gu
smart, but do not recognize their ow
mother, as it appears Collier left her som
. two years and more ago. We imagine tina
no further trouble will accrue, as the II
pcntant victim promises to help maintai
the three children and by constant after
ton to business secure the pardon Of a
whom he has injured and the confidence {
= the community.
!. The developments created some little e'
cltement in town on Friday and many con
ments were made by those who were n
y quainted with the guilty party. Iavin
had an interview with some of the parti,
= interested we are satisfied that the mai
facts are as reported above. They wei
IS not published previously for sufficient re-
= sons, but in this case, as in all similar case
J. justice must be done, the truth must
known ''murder will out"
