The intense interest with which COM
mun.ty hears deeollette story and the Wild
yearning for minute details which fills its
bosom, was made manifest yesterday, in
our neighboring town of Martins Ferry.
The true inwardness Of the little
sHoRr-sHIFr TALE,
has not entirely been exposed, but the cur
tain has been sufficiently elevated to allow
a curious SUNDAY REGISTER reporter to
peer under and take ina least few pointers.
The town was intensely torn up yesterday
and several circles of old maids went wild
with excitement over the delectable news.
That another family circle had been in
vaded, il is needless TO remark, for Of such
is the kingdom of sensations. A certain
prominent physician of the town, so it is
currently believed, is all cooked and
primed with suit OF great
magnitude, leyeled at a prominent manu-.
facturer of the town. The papers have not
been filed, bu. the me6ico has retained a
fine corps Of legal advisers and proposes to
push his action at an early date. He has
placed his damages at the round sum Of
$4,000, and bases his claim on the grounds
of
CRIMINAL INTERCOURSE WITH HIS WIFE,
thereby alternating her affections from
him, her liege lord and master, and caus-
ing her to leave him and threaten di-
yorce.
Some six months ago this Galen and his
wife separated, or rather the wife, after
giving circulation to some damaging state
| 20 lofk him and m har former
home IN st. Ciairsyille, going thence to near
St. Louis, where she now is. 1t is said
that, on the ground of i'll usage, she will
soon begin q divorce suit. However, she
is separated from him, and now he has
turned upon the man who played the role
of serpent in the Eden Of his domesticity,
and threatens to make the jingle of the
guinea help the hurt that honor feels. This
alleged destroyer Of peace is relative OF
the plaitiff, and man in good social and
commercial standing,
THE KING BEE
OF Martins Ferry manufacturers.
This much is currently believed and
commonly reported about Martins Ferry.
That the separation took place the writer
well knows. To get at fuller details the
reporter yesterday called upon the medico,
but he-wise man-absolutely refused to
say a word. The other man was then in
tervIewed, but denied all knowledge of the
affair and only said the alleged plaintiff
was wild, reckless and totally deprayed
cusS. Ii was therefore evident that moth
ing could be obtained from first hands,
and only rumors could be picked mp.
But scene >. Of act /, was put on the
boards yesterday morning. The medICo
and manufactures met and fierce words
ensued. Hot blood was engendered and
blows resulted. The mediCo was
SULLIVAN or SCIENCE
and knocked out the manufacturer,
though the fight was stopped by some
person near by. Well was it so, or sec
ond sensation might have followed. AS it
was, the medico was entirely unhurt and
the manufacturer bears about his physiog
nomy the evidence of the atfray. This
fight was soon noised about and added fuel
to the fire Of curiosity already raging.
Developments are in order and are
looked for. When they come, truth will
crowd out gossip and the REGISTER can DE
depended upon for
THE CORY DETAILS.
At present, the rumor is that the king bee
has for years SCATTERING the Lares and
Peaat es Of the doctors home and TO repair
said household idols will cost, according to
the doctors mathematics, the snug sum of
$4,000.
