THE HAPPY FAMILY OF DIR. RIDGEwAY
BROKEN UP-CRosS-SUITs FOR
DIVORCE.
DR.. Ridgeway lives in Red Bank, N. j.,
his wife lives in Oceanic, and each speak
of the other with bitterness. The Doctor is
q son of the President of the Girard Life In
surance Company of Philadelphia, and
nephew of the famous DR.. Pancost of that
city. The Doctors wife was the beautiful
widow of Judge Elliott of Bombay. In
their honeymoon the Doctor and his wife,
charmed with the beauties of Red Bank de-
termined to make their home there. They
leased the old Sheppard mansion, fitted it
up in elegant style, bought horses and car
riages, and attired their servants in livery.
Miss Fletcher, sister of Mrs. Rldgeway,
went to live with the happy couple. With
her was Aleck, spruce English servant,
whose father had served the Elliott family
for years, and who was devotedly attached
to his mistress.
At length Mrs. Ridgeway fancied that
there was an improper intimacy between
her husband and her sister, Clara She quit
his house and instituted suit for divorce.
Before it could be tried, her sister, the most
important witness, had returned to Eng
land, and she lost her suit This was a year
ago, Since that time the Doctor has kept
spies at work, and has himself carefully
watched his wife's movements; and now
he, in turn, sues observation-disclosures ,charg-
ing thai h S wife has been too intimate with
X-Sheritf Patterson, doorkeeper of the
House of Repre sentatives, with the editor
of the Red Bank Standard, and with
others.
Mr. Patterson is indignant at the charge
against him, and says that it has been
trumped up to injure his chances of re-elec-
ton 10 office. The others accused also put
in denial.
The fair defendant has engaged ex-Goy
Parker to conduct her case Testimony is
being taken before Master in Chancery

EMPTYING HER REVOLVER INTO THE
BODY OF HER TRADUCER.
[From the Sigourney (Iowa) News, Aug. 81
Miss Caroline White, a young lady OF
seventeen, has created a sensation by shoot
ing VIM M. Holland married man hay.
ing wife and seven children. On Monday
la st shortly before dinner, M ss White called
at the house OF Thompson Yocum, in
English River Township. Mr. Yocum, be-
Ing unwell, was not long at the table, and
lett. Just as Holland was about finishing
dinner Miss White walked out to the table
and presented paper, telling him to sign
IL, which he refused to do, and stepped out
doors, Miss White following him, In a
moment the first shot was heard, and Mr..
1ocum, who was first at the scene, tells
us that Holland was running, passed around
an evergreen, and a short distance there
from fell perfectly lifeless. Miss White fol-
lowed him up with a revolver, and when
Holland fell placed the muZzle close to his
head and continued firing Yocum and
another man, whose name we have forgot
ten, attem pied to get hold of her, but she
quickly leve1led the pistol at Yocums
assistant, telling him to stand aside or sne
would shoot him. This he did quickly, and
the weapon was in second lowered by
M lss White and fired at the PROSTATE and
llfeless body of Holland. When the men
got hold of her the chambers of the pistol
proved to be all empty. Whether the full
nve shots were 1red is not known as in the
excitement none remembered distinctly
III all were hred, one failed to take effect.
one shot grazed the face, doing no damage
One entered the temple, one over the right
eye, making It's way through the brain, and
another to the left OF the vertabrae, ranging
upward to the centre of the heart and be-
tween the fourth and fifth ribs, lodging be-
meath the skin. IL is thought that the pail
passing through the heart was the first one
fired, and that the other shots taking effect
were fired after he had fallen lifeless
The cause of the act Is said TO be that HOl-
land had repeatedly stated that Caroline
was unchaste, and that he had had inter-
course with her, which reports coming to
the ears of her family. Holland was in
terviewed and promised to sign a statement
that he had lied. For some time he has
evaded his promise, until the girl became
exasperaLed. She is reported to be of good
character, modest and unassuming not q
whisper was ever heard against her name,
except from Holland, who went to young

tain marks he had placed upon them,
which were little indentations in the wood;
number one having one indentation, and
so on TO number four. No trace of number
five was found. Number four was apparent
ly flied; number two was evidently empty
and numbers one and three were heavy
enough to be quite full Mr.. Aldridge said
that he had evidence that these boxes were
taken from the Auditors office to that of
United States Marshal Pitkin and thence to
the cockloft, where they had been tamper-
ed with and part of their contents taken
away, and that the missing box, number
five, contained the coupons.
