SOCIAL SENSATION.
Married for MOneyand Divorced
For-LOve-A Divorced Wife
and Her Successor Dwell I'm
Harmony Under the Same


hOOf.
Columbus Times.
Quite ripple Of excitement was Oc-
casioned in society circles In the city
last week, by the receipt OF letter from
Quincy, Ills, which conveyed iniorma--
ton oil the divorce from his wife and
subsequent domestic relations Of Mr..
G.. III. Walker, formerly u we'll known
business man Of this place. Ii will be
remembered that about twelve or MI
teen years ago, Mr. Walker came to this
city and engaged in businesss as State
agent for the Wheeler and Wilson Sew
ing Machine Company. Afterwards he
was engaged extensively in the sale oil
musical instruments, real estate specula-
tions, ETC., by means of which he am
assed a considerable fortune. About
three wears ago he sold out his business
i'm this city, removing to Dayton, Ohio,
and from there to Quincy Illinois, where
he now resides. While in this city
Walker was leading member OF the
First Congregational Church, and al
though there were occasional rumors
10 the effect that he displayed an undue
fondness for certain lady friends, there
was nothing to indicate that his domes-
liz relations were otherwise that OF the
most agreeable character.
Il appears, however, from the letter
alluded to, that the rich sewing machine
agent had never loved the vile OF his
bosom with that degree OF intensity that
noets write of, but that the principal IN
cantiye 10 his marriage % her was the
ana coo i'm ready money which 1t occurred
10 him he could use to advantage, as he
WAS entirely destitute OF means himself.
The marriage was cOnsummated, anu the
financial part of the transaction proved
in every respect success, whlle the
matrimonial part evidently was not;
While living in Dayto n the dissatisfied
Husband became enamored OF young
I.1v by the name al Carpenter, and al
ter his removal To Quincy the consictioh
dawned upon him that the remaihuer
of his life must be dreary blank unless
arrangements could he made whereby
his a. EIctO wife should abdicate IN iavor
oI the fair creature who had won ms
heart After much solicitation he pre-
walled upon his wife To allow nm 10
procure a divorce, promising 10 pro
Vile we'll for the three children when
bad been the issue of their mar
riaya and 10 repay To her the slo,OOO
Which had constituted the basis OF ms
fnrtune. The divorce Was granted on
the ground Of incOmPstibility oi temper;
No socuer had wife No. l been disposed
~ than her successor was duly installed,
sn5 tne man who first married for for
tune, and afterwards for love, now an
nnnnces himself supremely happy. A
sinynlar feature OF the case as reported
= that the divorced wife continues TO
I've with her children, under the same
roof ss her successor, and so lar as heard
from no hair-pulling has been 'he 10
