A FAITHLEsS WIFE.
Her Arrival In this City, Follow

ed a Week After by Her Hus-
band---The Paramour in jail
and the Wife Consents to Go
Home Again.
One week ago last night there arrived
at the B. & o. depot woman with
three little children, the eldest not over
nine years of age, and a stripling OF a
Young man, who has hardly attained
his majority. The people first settled in
North Wheeling, but during the week
removed to East Wheeling, where they
rented two rooms on the third floor OF
No. ll3 Seventeenth street, where they
have resided, apparently happy, ever
since until yesterday afternoon, when the
man and woman were arrested by OH
GERS McCully and Miller, OF the police
force.
Itappears that the woman, Mrs. John
Siedel. and the man, John kebler,
resided in Toledo, Ohio, and during the
absence OF Mr.. Siedel in the State OF
Michigan, decided to elope and come TO
this city, where they thought they
would be secure from detection. But
ike murder. the sins OF the faithleSS
wife would out, and on last Saturday
morning the grief-stricken husband ar
rived in this city, and shortly alter noon
appeared before Justice Caldwell and
swOre out a warrant for the arrest OF
Kebler, charging him with fornication:
The warrant was placed in the hands OF
the Chief of Police who gave 1t, to-
gether with picture OF the woman, to
officer Miller, who set to work on the
case, which resulted in the arrest
of the parties yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Siedel and kebler were taken TO
headquarters and Justice Caldwell sent
FOR. After waiting some time the JUS
tee appeared, followed about an hour
later bv the woman's husband. Al
though Mrs. Siedel had sworn that ste
would never. no, never, return to To-
lclO with her husband, she finally con-
scented to do so, and was released and
Keblcr locked up. Seidcl has been
working in Michigan for some months,
and would, as lac could occasionally do
so, send money TO his wife and children
for their support He had been warned
OF his wife's infidelity, and had gone to
Toledo only to learn that what he had
been told was but too true. From that
city lac traced his vile to this city.
When arrested yesterday, both Mrs.
Siedcl and her pdramodr showed Il
marked dcgreeoi indifference as to what
might come out OF their trouble. kebler,
whois a German, sat one time, about
twelve years ago, a resident OF this city,
his father having been u school teacher.
BY no means is he what might be con-
sidered handsome man, but on the
contrary, decidedly homely youth.
The woman, who is also a German, is
rather good looking. Mr.. Siedel and his
wife and three children will return to
their old home in Toledo to-day. The
husband, when hr came to this city,
informed Justice Caldwell that he did
not want his wife, but wanted his three
children.

SATURDAYS SINS.
\ High Old Time at the Spring
EnrlCn.

last Saturday afternoon it was an
nOuur"l at 4:3O O'Clock that kittiG Sher-
man, the female walkist, would give Il
benefit tramp at the Spring Garden, and
i'm consequence Il large number OF her
admirers gathered at the place to see her
tramp.
Everything moved on nicely until
about 1880 o'clock, when a drunken in
diyi!ull, who was standing in the front
part ii the saloon, made an effort to
witness the show without ticket. The
yUuEL man WAS stopped by officer
Davis, who was on duty at the Spring
Garden, and no sooner had he been
stopped than hc begun to heap upon
the officer the vilcSt epithets that could
be rolled oil his thickcned tongue. The
drunken individual was arrested by
Officer Davis, but was freed by several
persons who were near ut hand. The
officer then reported at hcadquar-
tiers, and the chief, accompanied by
two other officers, FASTENED to the scene
OF the riot, but did not find any one
answering To the description of Dick
McCrackcn, whom officer Davis had
described aS one OF the parties assault
assaulting him. The officers then visited
Rolls sa.oou, on Market street, where
they arrested Jake Watson, who was
taken To- headquarters, but was released
upon proving that he had nothing to do
with the riot. \ warrant was then
sworn out for McCracken and officers
sent out 20 arrest him.
shortly after the above disturbance
Officer Altmyer got after Martin Friery,
one of the parties to the trouble, and
made an effort to arrest him, when a
number of his friends assaulted the
guardian of the law, who was compelled
to fire off his revolver before he was sue
cessiul in taking his man to the lookup.
Frier ryeports that the bullet took effect
in his leg
Warrants have been issued for large
number Of the rioters, who will have n
hearing at police court as soon as ar

LETTERS received from Maine men who
went to California with the Lewis sand-bow-
er represent the machine to be failure and
say that all hopes of deriving any benefit
from it have been given up. The men are in
sad plight, without money, without pros
poets, and with no means to get home. They
are seeking employment wherever it may be
found. Naturally enough they are bitter in
their expressions regarding the projectors of
the enterprise, and very likely unjust. They
do not consider that the leaders may be as
sorely disappointed as the followers. The re-
suit of the experiment is unfortunate, but 1t
teaches a lesson. Men should not engage in
undertakings where the whole field is strange
to them and where they are forced to rely i'm
plictly upon the representations of experts
having their own ends to gain or enthusiasts
governed by the warmth of their imagina-
tions. Where men familiar with mining hes
itate it is not best for the inexperienced to
engage. There is however, it must be con-
fessed, very little consolation in this moral
for the unfortunate men stranded on the Pa
cifc coast.

The Shoe and Leather Reporter intimates
that the British outcry against American
beef is not wholly disinterested. 1t says:
The competition Of American beef with that
raised in England has been so severe, within
the past two or three years, that it has had
an exceedingly depressing effect on all those
in that country who are interested in cattle
raising; perhaps it is not surprising, there
fore, that they should become aware of the
prevalence of infectious diseases in American
cattle, when neither cattle raisers, shippers
nor American consumers, have had any pre-
vious intimation thereof. If, however, the
shipments of live cattle should be dimin-
ished on this account, there would probably
be corresponding increase in our exports of
dressed and canned meats. This phase of
the trouble might be looked upon at least
with equanimity by our tanners, for when we
ship cattle on the hoof we are furnishing ex-
cellent hides for the foreign market, but when
the slaughtering is done here we have the
privilege of making the hides into leather
before shipping.

A BOX on the ear is usually regarded as
quite harmless. The London Lancet, first of
medical authorities, thinks otherwise. After,
in its issue of the 4th ult., recounting the
death of a child eight years old from box on
the ear at school, it makes editorial remarks
which we reproduce below. The reading of
the comments may require an occasional
reference to the dictionary, but that is an
exercise that can harm no one The Lancet
says:
This Is another illustration of the extreme
dagger sttend'pg 'hs practice Of iohictipg pun
ishment by boxing the ears, apd we may add
Of any part of the head ge, orally, since it is a
favorite practice with some masters to ran
their pupils heads with the bent knu,kles of
the index and middle fingers. In sound.
healthy lads box on the ears may not, psr.
haps lead to fatal consequences, though there
is always a risk of inducing deafness by ruptur-
iog the membrane tympani In delicate boys
OF strumOus or tubercular tendency, fatal con-
sequences may be easily induced; and mas.
ter, by giving way to a moments irritation aud
an error OF judgment, may forfeit position
gained by years of honorable toll, be impris-
oned for msnslaughter aud thus ruined for
life."

THE remarks of Mr.. Mclaughlin of this
city before the special committee on the
insolvency law at Augusta Saturday we're
misinterpreted. He did not characterize the
national act as grab law. That term was
applied to the custom in force before the
enactment of national law concerning In

claim that it gave privileges to any one class
of creditors to the prejudice of another was
not advanced.
