IDA IN INDIGNANT
And Denies the Stories OF Her Recreant
Husband.

On the 18th day of last January, a man
named George Whipple, of Allegheny,
came to this city and told REGISTER re-
porter very dizzy story OF the flight of his
wife, with Geo Noel, a printer at this
office. The facts were not otherwise
known, but circumstances seeming to@tor
rOborate what he evidently believed to be
true, the story was published next morn
ing, Whipple left the city vOwing ven
ceance on the reCreant pair, whom he said
he would follow till the break of dawn.
Before coming to the city, he had armed
himself with slung shot and had made up
his mind to make it warm for somebody
lie had heard, he said that Noel had taken
his wife to Oakland, Cal. and TO that place
he was bound togo.
He left here, promising to send an ac-
count of any developments, but now his
wife comes to the front, Indignantly deny
ing his assertions In justice to her we give
her communication:

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY.
and an Additional Fea-
ture.

In giving an account yesterday morning
OF the trouble in the electric light compa-
ny, the following paragraph was used:
The rupture is due to the fact that re-
ports have been made and circulated, Civ,
ing the impression that the light is not a
success and that other companies which
have tried it have failed to make money.
But both of these points are denied by
those members who propose to continue
the company. The committee which went
TO Cleveland made Il favorable report, hut
at the same time private letter from them
conveyed all altogether different story.
BY q blundrr in proof reading the word
them. which is italicized, was permitted to
90 into print. when it should have read
there. The fact is that the COM
mittcc was very much pleased with
the result OF its trip to Cleveland
and brought back a most gratifying report
and the letter mentioned was written by
an outsider, gentleman who happened to
be in Cleveland. The unintentiOnal state
ment of yesterday morning would make
il appear that the committee had praCtiCed
duplicity. than which Kothing was further
from the writer's thoughts, but it will be
readily understood from the explanation
given.
Yesterday one of the gentlemen who pro-
pose to stand by the company, said: mo
matter what report was brought back, GER
tain stockholders were bound to try and
break up the company. Why, if the parent
company had agreed To place the plant and
guarantee a ten per cent dividend, certain
men wanted to break up the company.
TO day they all want to come back again.
This gentleman assured the writer the
company would be perpetuated and would
soon complete arrangements

Music and EIocution.

Wheeling has the reputation of being
musical to a high degree; also critical in her
tastes. Yet, at the same time. she patrO-
nizeS virtuu>OS with an illiberal hand,
while the criticisms are dealt out with the
prudigslity of q Peabody. An exception
To this generalization, however. Is made in
the case OF the entertainment given al the
Academy of Music last evening, BY The
GueTnSey-l.iStemann Com binatiOn. under
the auspices of Mr.. &. Y. Lucas. 1t was a
rich musical and Evolutionary treat The
cream of the old Boston Quartctte club
disCOurScd sweetest sounds ever drawn
from violin, flute, baS>o and violincellO.
while the ContrJlto, vOCalization OF Miss
Barnes was like an echo tOall the harmony.
A pleasant advertisement in the entertain.
ment were the very clever recitations OF
Miss Guernsey, which met with eItraOr-
binary applause that was more than we'll
deserved Taken altogether there have
been but few public performances given
here which created, seemingly, more pleas
ure than the one noted.

DRIVING ACCIDENT.
Serious Ending, on sunday, Of n We'd
ding Drive.

The accident out the pike on Sunday
evening, was of more serious nature than
was at first imagined and as a contempary
has published an erroneous account, the
facts are given, as follows:
On Sunday afternoon, Richard Gary and
Miss Willie Ann Duncan were married at
West Alexander, in the presence of several
friends, viz: Jos. Duncan. brother OF the
bride. Emmett Gary. brother of the groom,
Charlie Rhodes and Lizzie Gruber. After
the ceremony, the party entered their car
riages and started on drive further out the
road. Joe Duncan and Emmett Gary were
in buggy in advance, and the other four
followed in barOuche. When about half
mile east OF squire Waits, the horses of
the barOuchc became unmanageable, and
wheel striking a stone. overturned the We
hicle. The men were together on the front
seat, and were thrown out, but the ladies
were dragged some thirty yards before the
pole broke. Both of the men were cut and
bruised about the faces. receiving injuries
that will mark them for some time. The
ladies were both severely bruised about the
body, and Oi course, badly frightened. The
horses, after smashing tAc barOuchc, con-
tinued their tiightluntil stopped by wood
pile some distance further on.
Messrs. Gary and Duncan, in the buggy,
saw the accident and returning assisted the
ladies into house near by. where they
received attention sufficient to fit them for
returning. An extra buggy was then OBJ
tanned at West Alexander and the party
returned 1t was rather serious ending
for a wedding froliC, and they congratulate
themselves that no one was more seriously
injured.

HORSE MATTERS.
Notes From the Fair Ground and
Local StRbles.


Ii is fair to presume that this return Oi
pleasant weather means final opening OF
spring. Evidently our hOresmen think so,
for they have made full preparation for the
enjoyment OF the sport and delightful
exercise which follow equine ownership.
Horses have been brought from the country
fields in which they have passed peaceful
and inglOriouS winter and brushed and
FURNISHED up to pass inspection on the
city drive. Buggies and sulkieS have been
brought out and oiled, harness and saddles
have been overhauled and prepared and
everything is in a state of readiness for
an active spring campaign.
AT the Island driving park, change IS
noticeable already. The stables have been
put in order the track made ready and the
full coterie of drivers, groOms, sporting
men and loungers may be found there.
The evenings are yet too cool for pleasure
driving or even speeding about the track,
but the daily training has already begun.
Will Handlan has two horses on the ground,
Robert Campbell has two, and August
Walter and Simon Baer have ea"n a horse
ready for training. The season over there
will be of much more than usual interest.
Last night the articles of agreement were
signed for the trotting race to come oil on
Tuesday Nav Ii, at > o'clock r. NJ, between
August Walters "NeschannoCk The
purse is 800, and the forfeit OF $50 side
was last night deposited in the hands OF
Robert Anderson, stakeholder. The bal
ance of the deposit will be made on the day
before the race. The weather and track
must be favorable, or the race to come of
the first fair day following Each man is
drive his own horse and great deal of
sport and close contest are expected.
On Saturday last Handlan's br. 5.
George and Franzheim'S b. IN. Queen
were sold to Rody Patterson, of Pittsburgh.
The terms are private but the price was i
good one.
There was talk last night OF a pacing race
to come off at the Island track the day
after the Walter Handlon race.
Why is it that so few of our livery men
keep decent saddle horses? If one or two
of them would keep couple or 80, and adj
vertiSe them we'll, it would pay.

STANLEY FREE.
The End OF His Case-The First Charge.
s.Not Guilty"


Frank Stanley has had the luck to again
light on his feet and after long confine-
ment is again at liberty. The REGIsrEE has
said Frank was victim of bad company
and the remark was not amiss; perhaps he
has now received lesson by which he will
profit. The charge on which he was held
and Of which he was yesterday acquitted,
was brought about as follows:
On December Is, 1880, there was scene
on Market street, in front OF this office
that fell but little short of q riot. The
police wanted too young men named Rose
and Fleming, and found them that evening,
at the spot named. They resisted arrest
! and great excitement was created III con-
sequence Officer Deffibaugh, Short and
Wilcox were present and afterwards Patrol
| men Willard White and Bob Junkins. The
story as then believed, was that Stanley.
who was standing with Messrs. Rose and
Fleming. followed the officers and endeay'
'ored TO rescue the prisoners. When White
came along and tackled Stanley, the latter
drew a revolver and fired, the ball grazing
Whites abdomen. Stanley then ran down
Twelfth street and was caught by Junkihs
near the franklin Office. II was for this
shooting that he was lodged in Jail.
The case came on in the Circuit Court
Yesterday, before Judge Boyd, the follow
ing jury having been sworn in: Messrs.
NJ. l.. Hill. A. +. Carter. VIM. Schockey,
NJ. W. Amick. J. c. Brady. John Reed,
Luke FittOn. Louis Mcder, Ed. Larkin. d.
X. Irwin. T. H. Wilde and A. s. Nelson.
Mr. Dovener appeared for the prisoner,
and Mr. Jordan for the State. Mrs. Shan
lev, mother Of Frank, lady of very pre-
possessing appearance. sat i'll the court
room throughout the trial.
The testimony for the State went to prove
the facts as given above Stanley was put
| on the stand by the defense, and testified
! that he did not interfere with the arrests.
but that one of the men had handed him a
I revolver. He did not see ii, he said, and
| had not fired it, and only tackled White
when the latter struck him.
The Jury was out about fifteen minutes
| and returned with verdict of mot guilty.
! STANLEY was accordingly discharged.
