Mr.. t. G. Childers and Mrs. Lucinda
Tatem were first married in their native
county, Franklin, in 1856, and lived to-
eether until 1861, when the husband
joined the southern army in response to
call for volunteers, says the Springfield
Mo- Herald Soon he was made a gris-
oner. After 10 months of captivity he
was exchanged and resumed his duties
as q southern soldier, remaining in the
army till the close of hostilities in 1860,
when, like dutiful husband and father,
he returned to his wife and little chill
dren, but sad changes greeted him where
all had once been contentment and hap
piness.
The husband had been reported killed
in the terrible struggle of Nicksbarg,
and his wife, after long AMI fearful
waiting, was forced to give credence to
the story, and finally found soIace in
the love OF a Mr.. Phillips, whom she
had known from childhood. True to
the VOWS Of long o, she was 10th to bury
her first love. Still, she was a woman,
and therefore TO be won, so it was the
soldier husband returned from the
dangers and provocations of
war to find her whom he had vowed to
love until parted by death the wife of
another. IL was an ordeal more trying
than any he had experienced during all
the bloody conflict through which he
had passed. Yet there was no remedy
save TO suppress the affections 80 fondly
treasured and trust in time, whose
easy flight corrects all errors, softens
grief and rocks sad memory to sleep.
He again married, in 1866, but his sec
Ond wife died three years latter. In
1875 he married third time, but was
again robbed by death of his consort
one year afterward. About a year ago
Mr.. Phillips died, leaving Childer's first
wife in widowhood. Mrs Philips has a
brother residing in Franklin, whom she
visited not long since, and at whose
house she CHANGED to meet Mr.. Childers,
her first husband. They met as friends,
but their friendship quickly warmed
the love f20 years ago returned, and,
though not so ierYent as in the earlier
dreams of youth, it was not wanting in
earnest devotion. Their second mar
rage to each other occurred in the pres
ence of their families, respectively and
collectively. The event was celebrated
with music and dancing, and the bride
and groom, though sprinkled with the
silver of time, seem happier for the sor.
row they have known.

fEigAtful accident occurred on Thurs
ay afternoon, at Madison, Wisconsin when
nearly the entire second story of the south

nfely by the entire roof of the structure
The wing was 100 feet long 50 feet wide ard
80 ieet high, of solid stone and fire proof
Ali the external work on it had been com
peted with the exception of a small por
ton OF lining upon the roof, a gang of men
being employed at the time Of the accident
upon thjs WORK. The ter fic and awful crash

the wing at the time of the casualty, and
after ell the dead and injured that could be
found had been removed from t2e debris,
contractor NOlsn got his men together ami

Appearances indicate that the whole

second story balcony pillars, which were
directly al the center of the south wing,
sinking IN the wooden planks Gpon which
they rested Che sagging drew the upper

AN ARIZONA CLOUD-BURST.
Six Immense Rivers Come Down the
Hills Under Cloudtess Sky.

Six Immense Rivers Come Blown the
Hills Under a Cloudtess Sky.
From the Tuscon { ARR Citizen.
On Sunday afternoon one of those
curious phenomena of nature oc-
Cured about Thirty miles southwest Of
Tuscon, and from the description given
by eye witnesses it WAS the largest
cloud burst ever known III the country
From Judge r. u. Ferguson the follow
ing account was gathered On SUNDAY
he was returning from trip to the 5. uth-
ern part of the country. At 10 o'clock
he put up at Browns station to await
dinnerand avoid the heat of the sun.
The sky all day was cloudless, except a
thunder storm that was observed travel
ing the SUBMITS of the Santa Caralimas
and disappearing over the R-cone i'll the
northeast Otherwise not a cloud or a
vapor of any kind was to be seen. The
sun was shining in all its vigor; and as
ne passed to the West his strength and
glory seemed undiminished. At 3
O'Clock Judge Ferguson resumed his
Journey toward Tucson. He had come
about five miles, when his attention was
attracted by roaring and cracking to-
ward the west, and looking up he saw a
river of water, as big as the Santa Cruz
when it runs through Warners mill tail
race, coming toward him. Telling his
driver to halt, they stopped on top OF a
little knoll, and watched the waters as
they violently plowed the desert, tear
ing up stones and brush. They had evl-
IDENTITY spent their force. After the Hood
had passed by, the face Of the country
was disiigured, and large gutter had
been cut across the valley. The current
came down off small range Of low,
rolling hills to the west. Although the
Judge and his companion strained their
ewes in the direction from which the
water came not cloud was to be seen.
After the water had subsidized sufiieien Mt
ly to let them pass they went on. They
had hardly gone half a mi e when, to
their establishment, there was another
stream equally as large as the first one.
Again they peered toward the west in
hopes to find some indication of lis
course. Passing on, their aStonlshmeAt
was doubled to ind another stream, and
in this manner five successive raging
currents were crossed. But all
their reserve was called forth when four
miles from y here they struck the first
SJteAlu tu0y ulSCOFeteu siAtu o1iC 'tS
large as all the others combined. Its
angry waters were roaring and kissing
as if maddened at the resistance they
met on the way from the hills of the
desert. This river was unfurdabie, and
to cross it was Impossible, so they halt
ed ona knoll and watched it for two or
three hours as it boiled and sizzled and
cut bed for itself, in some places as
deep as fifteen feet and over 200 wards
wide. 1t was not until after sun down
that they dared TO attempt a crossing,
What renders it so curious is that not
one at Browns station saw the clouds.
1t may be possible that some hidden
springs were uncorked by some subter,
can earthquake. At any rate, it Is a
great wonder

Probable Partisan Lie

There are no double beds in Europe
out of London. l did not see one in
a long summer tour. A man and his
wife were expected to sleep in separate
bedssmall beds, three feet wide,
asked for double bed in Lugano, when
the landlord assured me that there was
no such thing in town, and he had
never seen one" One evening 1 OBJ
served some confusion in the "bureau"
of the Hotel National at Lucerne. A
controversy waa evidently going on.
Presently one Of the parties TO it came
out IN the vestibule. He was, perhaps
a Vermont cattle drover. large power
full man, rather unconventional in APP
pearauce. He took off big atraw hat,
wiped his sweaty brow with red silk
handkerchief and exclaimed: Darn it

you've got to hunt Hp bed that we ken
both sleep in at the same time, an we

he walked right down and took chair
by the side of little, slim, tall woman,
who weighed about 90 pounds, camePs-

came out never knew for the vestibule
