A BIG SCANDAL.
4iteim Post Steals the Affections of lMr
Clark.

-1tvIh Post Steals the affections or MRS.
Clark.
The sensation yesterday was the rumor
that spread like bad odor over the whole
city that an elopement had taken place. II
appears that some time since a persuasive
and insinuating gentleman named Alvin
Post came from Milwaukee, to this city for
the purpose of selling Masonic goods. He was
not long III making the acquaintance Of Mrs.
Clark on Eighth street. The husband df the
lady was often absent on protracted trips, he
being commercial traveller or drummer.
In the absence of the husband bland and
insinuating Alvin initiated the fair landlady
into the mysteries of free well mot Masonry
although grips and signs were used. The
servant girl being ssfy" of which was going
on it is said communicated with the. unsus-
pecting husband and it is stated that he sud-
denly returned and found thesuave and gal
liant peddler of Masonic regalia, RECALLING
himself with his apt pupil and working the
third degree. The fourth degree was
worked yesterday when Mrs. Clark and Alvin
slid the greasy plank out of town. The
sixth will probably be worked in the divorce
court. Mrs. Clark has no children but Alvin
Post has several in Milwaukee, where he left
carewofn wife to provide for them, It is
denied by some that Clark returned home
and caught the intruder in his dove cot +;
these say that up to the present time he
knows nothing about it. This is not the
cnly scandal of an infamous nature likely to
come to light. There is another with which
busy tongues are already burdened, and
when certain Lothario returns to the city
the shameful denouement will be made.
