World, in the course OF racy report OF
the previous days Court proceedings,
contains the following case, which Is Of
peculiar interest in this city:
The case of Mr.. and Mrs. William

the once happy but now discunsolate pair
stood up. William was, some years ago,
a real estate broker doing business in
this ely, and was always regarded as
little better than swell TO do" He was
handsome in those da, S, too, and couldn't
sleep at night If

had smiled upon him during the day.
The lady Of his bosom gradually de-
sceuded to Williams little weakness,
and began making it 30 warm for him
that one night, when she had talked her
s. If into unconsciousness, and after he
had satisfied himself, by passing his hand
over her marble brow, that she was
sweetly sleeping, he seized his collar

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 iair female (also blonde)
that William was living in Wilmington
and enjoying himself hugely. Thither
the sorrowlng wife fastened, and TO her
inexpressibie joy she at last came to
street door with place on it bearing the
name Of Silver. She rang the bell and
then nevered herself with her smelling
salts for the meeting with her recreant
lord. Instead of Willie, however, a lady
of majestic mien appeared at the door
and inquired her business.

afflicted wife.
"You do, Ell? Well, then, you will be
kind enough TO transact your business
with me, ior he Is my husband, and we
have no secrets fsom each other"
The rival women glared at each other
for a moment, and worked their fingers
n,ryously. The lady in possession of
the festive William was the first to
break silence. "Come in" said she to
the weary wife, "come in and you will
see that he loves you not"
She went in and sat down in parlor
chair, and saw her husbands photograph
hanging on the wall, while Mrs. Silver
No. 2 sent a messenger boy for Will
liam.
He came, and when Mrs. Silver No. /
saw him

the front Uf his head was as smooth as
tombstOne), and before she was willing
to let 60 Mrs. Silver No. had iabbea
her full Of hair pins and used her up in
SO many "various ways that she was
glad when they turned her into the
street. She sat down on the curbstone
and wept copiously. BY and by a po-
liceman 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 1t had been con.
cluded the ladies were all in tears.
