that woman could ask of him she had
wed, and was making some considerable
money from the products of the soil

have an end, and so with the dream OF

wife grew colder and colder, and his un-
holy passion for his psrsmour stronger
and stronger. His wife demonstrated
with him, and attempted to recall him
from the errors of his ways, but all to no
avail, and finally, as last recourse,

from her presence and her house, hoping
by this means to reclaim her husband.
But it syailed her not. Her husband
was too deeply infatuated with the siren.
and it is said, followed her to Wheeling,
where he lived with her in open adultery
or some time, dividing his time between
mis- vile and paranour. The injured
woman bore all this uncomplsiningly,
and brooked all insults heaped upon her.
But at last the ways OF her fsith!ess hus-
band became too disgraceful for human
endurance, and it came 10 her ears that
HER FORMER SERVANT WAS ENCIENT,
and that her husband would be the father
of the child. 1t was then that her soul
reyoted, and she left him, petitlonlng In
the county Court of Belmont county for
divorce. This was nearly two years ago,
and about year since, the court granted
the prayer OF her petition, and allowed
her alimony 10 the amount OF $1,000.
After the divorce was granted, FleIsner,
it is stated, gave out the report that he
had married her former servant, and
since then they hsd been living together
as man and wife, although it Is doubted
by many ss TO whether they are legally
married. The money allowed his d.

and the house and land was appraised at
$4,000 and put up for sale, but no bids
were had. The property was alter
wards appraised at 5000 and again
offered tor sale, and was

an insurance agent at Bridgeport, and
ordered him to make out q 81 800 policy

ceeded to do on Tuesday, and meeting
the lady the same evening, informed her
that her policy was partially made out,
and would be ready for her Wednesday
morning. She naturally inquired
what company the policy was drawn up
IN favor OF, and when told the Mechanics
Fire Insurance Company of Milwaukee,
replied that she would prefer home

she would see her attorney and have
him advise her in the matter before TAX
