The Philadelphia "Sunday World"
In its court reports Of Saturday has the
following: ..
The Court having regained its accus-
toned composure the case Of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Silver was called for in
vestig gation, and the once happy but
now disconsolate pair stood up. VII

broker doing business In this city, and
was always regarded as q little better
than "wsll to do" He was handsome
in those days, too, and couldn't sleep

had smiled upon him during the day.
The lady Of his bosom gradually de-
scended to Williams little weakness,
and began making 1t so warm for him,
that one night, when she had talked
herself into inconsistencies, and after
he had satisfied himself, by passing
his hand over her marble brow, that
she was sweetly sleeping, he seized his
collar box threw, aduster over his manly
arm and vamoosed the rancho forever.
Months rolled round and the wife Of
his bosom sought him in vain. She
was just about placing him on the list
Of lost, along with Charley Ross, when
she was informed by q fair female (als0
a hlonde) that William was living in
Wilmington and enjoying himself
hugely. Thither the sOrrowing wife
hastened, and to her inexpressible joy
she at last came to a street door with
a plate on 1t bearing the name Of Sill
YER. She rang the bell, and then ner-
we'd herself with her smelling salts for
the meeting with her recresnt lord.-
Instead Of Willie, however, q lady Of
ma jestic mien appeared at the door and
Inquired her business.

afflicted wife.
"You do, sh' Well, then, you will
be kind enough to transact your bust.
ness with me, for he is my husband,
and we have no secrets from each 9TH

= The rival women glared at each 9th
er for moment, and worked their fin
gers nervously. The lady in possession
of the festive William, was the first to
break silence. "Coms in" said she
to the weary wife, scoms IN and you
will see that he loves you not"
She went in and sat down in the
parlor chair, and saw her husbands 3

Mrs. Silver No. 2 sent messenger boy

the curbstone and wept copiously. BY
and by policeman came along and
she told him what had happened, and
then William Silver was taken to the
station house.
This is the story that was told in
court yesterday, and when it had been
conclu led the ladies were all in tears.
His Honor addressing the hoary
headed sinner)-"Have you anything
to sayi"
William-"'ve been advised by
counsel 20 say nothing"

Exeunt William, Mr.. McGinnis and
the "Admiral."
NoTE.-We think the "Wcrld' mast
have made a mistake. Mrs. Silver
lived in Wilmington and went to
Philadelphia where she found Will
liam. Such things don't occur in Will
mington.-[Rep].
