TWO HUSBANDS IN TWO DAYS.

an Etcpen,ent Witch Proved to be Case
of Btgamy.
| Rochester Union and Advertiser
The various city papers have before
| given ell that was known of q runaway
marriage at the Clifton hotel last week,
In our version it appears that the parties
had had the ceremony performed the day
before in Dansvllle, which seemed to rem.
der the second marriage superfuous. The
facts, however. which have just come to
light, varies the case somewhat. It ap-
pears that sometime after ten o'clock on
Wednesday evening last, Mr.. John Littles,
who keeps highly respectable boarding
and his family, having retired-was ;awak-
ened by the ringing of the door bell. Hast
lily dressing himself he went to the door
and was confronted by young gentleman
and lady. The latter said she wished to
| into the house, and Mrs. Littles soon made
her appearance. -
"We have come" said the young lady,
Ito ask you for nights lodging, and, per-
hape, board, for two or three weeks. We
have--we are-I want to cay We have Just
been-just been married and we have no
where to stay tonight, 90 We thought we'd
come and see if you could take care of ue.''
"Just been married! and no where to
stay! Why, what do you mean? Where
were you married and by whom? should
be glad to know" exclaimed Mrs. Lit
ties.
''By Rev. Mr.. Ward at the Presbyterian
church in this village. Here is the GER
tifcate of marriage" said the lady, hand
ing it to Mrs. L.
WELL" said the landlady, after care
fully examining the document, s.Well, 1t
seems you are legally married and know
YOU" said Mrs. L., turning to the bride.
The certificate was in due form of law,
and stated that Henry G. Fried and Ida
Shaw we're legally united in the bonds of
holy wedlock by George Ward on that very
evening.
All parties then retired to rest. The
next morning the bride and bridegroom
made their appearance--the face of the
lady was bathed in tears. She said she
must go Immediately to her mother, refus-
ing to stay to breakfast, notwithstanding
the husband endeavored. by all the elo-
quence he possessed, to have her do so.
The couple then took their leave of Mrs.
Littles. That afternoon. while the hus-
band was engaged in his business, his wife
went up town on some pretext, where she
met young man of the name of Hender-
son Mueller, young law student
in the village. With him she went to the
Genesee Valley depot, took the train then
about leaving and went to Rochester.
Rooms were given them at the Clinton
house, clergyman sent for, and in the
several very reputable witnesses, the
lady was again married. this time to Mr..
Mueller. They spent the night ct the
Clinton house. and on Friday morning
last, at quite an early hour, they took the
train for Auburn. Not long after they
left the father of the young lady, highly
farmer, living near Nun
da, appeared in hot pursuit of
his clipping, too much married
daughter, Finding that the birds had
flown he took the next train to Auburn in
search of them. The husband is almost
broken hearted by this terrible blow at his
domestic happiness, while the young wife
has evidently billeted herself for states
prison.
A singular feature of the affair is that
husband number two gave the officiating
clergyman lat Rochester his name as that
of the real husband.
The responsibility of all parties con-
nected with it, the singular and criminal
course the young woman has pursued, has
created much sensation in DanEville cir
cles.
