was able to buy a passage to this
country, arriving about last Christ
mas at Philadelphia. where poverty
compelled her to work as servant.
A few days ago she accidentally met
a pereon from Paterson. n. J who
knew Webbing, and told her that her
truant husband was employed IN a

and that they mad a child. Mrs.
Webbing went to Paterson yesterday
and caused the arrest of Webbing.
He was arrsigned before Recorder
Warren yesterday, and his psramour
was paesent with the baby In her
arms. The women exchanged wrath
full looks, but did not accost each
other. The contrast between the two
was marked. Mrs. Webbing looked
pinchei with poverty, but her I'M
lawful successor vas plump and well
attired. Webbing did not deny that
he was married to the complainant,
and said that the other woman was
not his wife. He admitted his rela.
ton to the child. He was commit
