ne came Dack 10 81. LOUIS, ana on The
night of the Sth of August was at
Hurst's hotel in St. Louis with Mrs.
Conalin."
"How long did he stay in St.
LOUISE"
"Only several days. He went to
Kentucky and his wife after staying
in st. Louis about a week went to
Chicago on a VISIT
"Was her mother aware that she
was the wife of Octave Bouscaren?"
"She never dreamed of it, but was
under the impression that Georgiana
had deserted me-"
SIS she still in Chicago?"
"No."
: "Do you know her whereabouts"
N'Not,positively, but l have good
reason to believe that she is in Cincin-
natl with Octave Bouscaren."
"You are certain they have not
sailed for Europe, as reported?"
"Why, of course 1 am. 1 have
been keeping up with them right
along"
evil they be arrested"
Nothing is surer."
'.When?'
within a week."
"Have you sworn out the papers
YETI"
"No."
"When will you do so?"
"In a day or two"
"You will go to Mexico for that
purposeT"
eyes; Tomorrow"
"You will have no trouble in find
ing them?"
"No; my arrangements are per-
fected. Bouscaren is at Covington
and she is at Cincinnati, Or they are
together in the latter place. In any
event it will be next to impossible for
them to escape now"
sin the light of recent develop
ments it is probable that the marriage
was a premeditated object?"
"No, I think it was consumated on
the spur of the moment. They were
about to be invited to leave the Gen.
tral-Ringo hotel at Mexico where they
were stopping, and to hush matters
up arranged to marry"
"Are Bouscaren's people aware of
the escapade?"
II believe not. His brother, who
lives in Cincinnati, is chief engineer
of the Cincinnati Southern railroad,
and his family are of the very best
people. The affair has been an un-
fortunate one all around for Bouscar..
en-. 1t necessitates his leaving Kan
sas City with any number Of debts
behind him, and it certainly seems
that he ought to have been lawyer
enough to forsee the inevitable conse-
quences of his folly. A willy woman
has played him for a sucker, and ere
this he doubtless groans for his ldiocy,
for he has shown himself a sorry fool.
As for the woman, her gray hairs and
her dizzy behavior are a strange mix
ture that 1 am at a loss to compre-
hend.'
If Mr.. Conalin has laid his plans as
adroitly as he seems to think, the
most sensational act in the serio-com-
ic drama in which Octave Bouscaren
and his giddy Georgiana have figured
as hero and heroine, is yet to come.
By this second marriage of Mrs.
Conallin with Bouscaren, If the rec
ords be correct, she has added biga-
my to perjury, and made both of them
SUBJECTS for the Missouri penitentiary
if captured, but it is supposed that
they have left for France, and that
Bouscaren at least is not likely to re-
turn.
Whatever be the outcome of this at
fair we are satisfied that if Bouscaren
lives with Madam Conallin as long as
John Conallin has he will wish that he
had been dead before he was born, OF
that a tornado has struck him before
he became enamored of Mrs. Georgi-
ana Conallin.

To the Editor of the Ledger:

To the Editor of the Ledger:
LADpoNIA, August 21.-You de-
sired me to say something on the
subject of township organization.
While l believe the principle of town.
ship organization to be right, and to
be democracy in its simplest and
purest form, yet an examination of
the provisions of the Missouri statutes
now in force has convinced me that
the advantages to be derived from its
adoption are not sufficient to COM
pensate for the trouble and confusion
naturally attending such a change.
Very truly yours, LINN.
The above letter was received to-
day from a prominent gentlemen in
Linn township, who was one Of the
meyers Of the township organization
scheme. We were sure that all would
agree with the LBpGER as soon as
they had examined the statutes Of the
state. Our state constitution must
be changed before township organiza-
ton could avail anything in Missouri.

The Kendall Note Contract.

The Richmond correspondent ofthe Peters
burg appeal, says, June 18th:
The Kendall bond contract, in which Ma
hone. Auditor Allen, and Second Auditor Dy-
son some time since, figured SO Conspicuously,
bids fair to be yet the subject offurther wrang-
ling The contract for printing these bonds
was awarded the Kendall Bank Note Compa-
nv of New York against MahOnes Wishes as
he had favored the claims of the American
Bank Note Company. Under the contract the
Kendall Company is to have the bonds ready
by the first OF July, at which time Auditor
Dyson expects to begin funding. The demand
for these new bonds is already very great-so
much so that he will have to employ an addi-
tional force of clerks. 1t is asserted that the
Board of Sinking Fund Commissioners is now
awaiting the action OF the New York Stock
Exchange, one of the requirements of the sink
ing fund board being that the Kendall bonds
shall be allowed to be placed on the New York
Stock Exchange This matter the board of
governors of the New York Stock Exchange
is now considering. The Kendall Company
are working night and day in getting ready
the new bonds, but an unforeseen obstacle has
been thrown in their way by General Malone.
The board had decided to have engrayen upon
the new bonds, the vignette OF Mahone on
those of the first class; Gov. Cameron on the
second class, and Riddleberger on the third
class. The photographs of the three had been
sent on to the Kendall Company, and they
were engaged in engraving them when the
board received a letter yesterday from Malone
desiring not to have his picture upon any OF
the bonds, alleging as reason that he cid not
like notoriety OF this sort, and this sort OF
thing was calculated to beget servility. The
board accordingly teegraphed the Kendall
COMPANY to-day not to use the likeness OF Ma
