A Mrs. Williams, living about five
miles from Seaford, who has been married
less than two years and has baby six
months old, wanted to go to the circus on
Saturday. Her afeutionate husband
hitched up Dobbin and carried her thither
but being behind i'll his blowing, was
compelled to return home and resume
work, promising 10 come back for her
after the noon performance was over.
There she met one of those oily-tongucd
fellows who wear the tinse and taggery
OF the ring, and he easily persuaded her
that it We're better for her 10 be the
mistress of such seoundrel than the
wife Of an honest farmer. The long and
the snort OF it was, she agreed to elope
with him. Her husband came for her
after the first performance and took her
home, little dreaming OF her pertidy. On
Sunday morning early she secretly arose.
from bed and left her family, going to a
point on the Dorchester X Delaware rail
road 10 meet the special train transport
ing the circus to Cambridge, when She
was to join her new-found lover. Some.
how or other her people suspected her
design, and her brother late in the day
started in pursuit and fortunately found
her before she was in the clutches Of the
villain who had persuaded her 10 take the
desperate course she had adopted. She
was returned to husband and home and
should be wiser if not sadder than before

LAUREL, DEL, May 4.-There was an
occurrence i'll our town on Saturday last
which for eonglomeration OF lncunss-
tency, incongruity, if not criminality, was
decidedly an anomaly IN our local Jiurs-
prudence. The vile of C, Nj. Pusey bled

with attempt at rape. Both Of the parties
were i'll town during the greater portion
Of the day, although so lar as could he
ascertaned no effort towards arrest OF tiIt.
accuse dwas made.
The mau against whom the complain:
was made enjoys the reputation oil an in
dustrlous, moral and quiet citizen, and
the woman chastity is umquestiouci.
Fhe womau's husband, however, is
charged with being overhearing and
cruel and it is alleged by the friends OF
the accused that he compelled her TO act
as She did in order to obtain money from
him or his friends, and that he offered To
compromise the case for a given sum oi
money. An effort was therefore made
through a man by the name OF Hastings,
who is somewhat noted as q cumpoundtr.
TOR 4 compromise upon that basis, which
30 far rs appearances are concerned has
tional action been taken in the case.
