A CURIOUS CASE OF MISTAKEN IDEN-
tt. "a curious case Of mistaken ldenti-
ty on one part and heartless deception on
the other hand has just been brought to
light in Covington, Ky. Some eight or ten
years ago man named Ignatius Goetz
lived with his family in Lewisburg, vii
lage near Covipgton. Not prospering in
his affairs ile entered the regular army and
went to Texas. After remaining there
two years he received injuries of some ma
ture and was discharged, and instead of
returning home went to Chicago, turning
up just before the great fire there.
Here he fell i'll with stranger named
Allen, strongly resembling him in personal
appearance, and the two SCI cut during
the fire to plumber and rob, in which
scheme they were caught and narrowly
escaped iynching. On being tried both
men were convicted and Goetz sentenced
to serve six years in the penitentiary, his
partner being sent only for four years.
Upon reaching the penitentiary they were
placed in adjoining cells and became very
intimate friends,
Allen, after serving out his sentence,
came to Covington, and. finding Mrs.
GcetZ.. claimed to be her husband. At first
she would not believe him, but he finally
succeeded in convincing her and took up
his abode with her, and in due time Il child.
the fruit of their illicit union, was born.
Everything passed quietly until about a
mouth ago, when Goetz himself returned.
having served out his time. Wien the
first meet ing had taken place GottZ was
informed Of the deception that had been
practiced on his wife and at once sought
legal redress.
But Allen had learned of his coming,
and fled across the river to Cincinnati.
Goetz followed, with his family, and I'm
dertook further proceedings, but s,on
learned that he had fled that city and gone
to parts unknown. The woman is respec-
tally connected in Coving Oh, and is earn
est in her protestations that she WAS a vic
tim OF deception in the two years she lived
with her paramour.

A Row OVER A SISTER GOOD TEMPLAR.
Sister Nancy Reed was faithful and
conscientious member Of the Wesleyan
(Method.st) Church in Brown township,
Ohio, and wishing to do all the good she
could in her day and generation, she con-
cluded to join the Good Templars, a most
successful temperance organization.
which has membership in prob IDLY every
county in the State. Brother James Bar
ron preferred charges against Sister Reed
for belonging to secret society, without
the authority Of the church but instead
of ordering trial. according to the Gus
tom of the church, it seems the matter
was referred to the judiciary Committee,
which body decided that Sister Reed must
leave the Good Templars within thirty
days. or else withdraw from tie church.
It seems that Elder e. M. Smith was a
member Of this committee, and took an &C
tive part in the expulsion of Sister Reed.
The Rev Mr.. Norrlck, the pastor OF the
church, did not like these hasty and tyran-
meal proceedings, aud did not hesitate to
say so. He declared that Sister Reed was
entitled to at least fair church trial, and
he denounced the hasty and inc nsderate
action Of thu Judiciary Committee. This
led to a personal quarrel between the Rev.
Mr. Norrick ard Elder Smith, in which
language was used that WIS more emphat-
