Reeves, Waterloo, Iowa, yesterday, which for
delightful vagueneas and simplicity takes the
cake. The fair correspo ndent confesses to
having been united in wedlock to one Reeves,
in this city, about one year ago, in blissful
ignorance of the fact of her husbands having
another wife at the time of their marriage.
She now says that when she married she thought
she was taking possession of an entire man, in
lieu of which she prays that the justice divorce
them by the novel method of restoring her
maiden name Of Louise Miliiman.
A gentleman of Utica, N. Y, writing to a
friend in this city, says they had LOG days of

The corner of Fourth and Wabashaw streets
was the scene of melee yesterday around
about ten of the forenoon, as indicated on the
city railway clock. Parties to the fracas were
John Wood and Joshua Fisher, both gen.
tlemen of color. They went at it vigorously
and muscularly. They were in such q hurry
that the cause of the fight, whether from y
lusive scheme, trap or what not, could not be
learned. They were in earnest and wanted no in
terruptlon, but got it from Officer Mullins. who
came along and escorted both of them to Judge
Flint. There they put up a IS apiece, and re-

Whitney, foreman in b. M. smyth's printing Of
fee, came out to ride home He concluded to
walk because Of the following: A few min
utes before he came out, big wagon loaded
with pyramidal pile of wagon timbers came
along. As the wagon neared the Whitney buggy,
the load careened so much that it sheered the
wagon against the buggy. A broken wheel and
a runaway horse was the consequence. Mr..
j. Il. Q. Ward, who was an interested spectator
of the accident, with poised Faber, dropped
the professional instinct, and grabbed the
horse. Damages to the buggy, not Ward, are
reckoned at $12 to $780,.
It was noised about the street yesterday that
Mr.. A. 81. E. LANCE the jeweler, had provided
$3.50 gold watch for presentation to an ex'
official. The name of the recipient not being
given, people began guessing. Some guessed
the watch was to go to Frankenfeld, supplanted
/ by the man of the ''broad Scotch accent" be
cause he had made himself solid with som.
heavy importing firms. Others thought Gen
James II. Baker would get it, through the lib
erality of his friend Fletcher. while not few
were sure Ramsey had ordered it for his friene
George Moore. It now turns out that all thes.
guesses were wrong, and that tho watch reall,
goes to Major Strait, though how it was Sc
cured, unless the Major put up for it himself
is mystery.
