ST.. LOUIS, July i2th.--Special cores
pondonce 1.-The quid nunos OF this city
had something to talk about recently when
the telegraph announced from Philadelphia
tho re.marriage Of the beautiful Mrs. Tevis'
OF this city, with her former husband, at q
small town In Pennsylvania. near the me-
tropols. The circumstances Of this case
are still familiar In the minds OF the public
The oblivion OF the past has not yet blotted
ont the recollections OF page Of painful
domestic history. Mrs. Tevis, young and
beautiful woman, we'll known In the society
of st. Louis, and niece OF General Sher-
man, became infatuated with gentleman.
also well-known here, named Frank
Inrleheart. The intimacy of Mrs Tevis
and Ipgleheart had lasted some time, when
a knowledge of it came to the ears OF the
husband, who put a detective on the track
of the couple. One day last fall they were
traced to a house of questionable character
in the south western portion of the city, by
the detective. The husband was near at
hand, and when the couple emerged from
the house he quickly approached and be-
gan firing at Ingleheart. One Of the shots
took etfe Ct and brought him to the ground.
Tevis hurridly lett the spot and drove away
with the detective, in a carriage. lngle-
heart managed to get home, and an exami-
nation of his wound developed the TACT that
he was shot in the forearm, seriously. but
not necessarily fatally. Mrs: Teyfs went to
the house of her mothers fsmily. IDgle-
heart was subsequently, removed to 81.

some weeks. He finally began to mend,
and slowly recovered, and is to-day about
town attending to his usual occupations.
Teyis soon applied for q divorce from his
faithless spouse in the courts of this city,
and no defense was put in by Mrs. Tevis to
his allegations OF adultery. The decree of
separation was easily obtained, the court,
also awarding to the father the custody OF
the only child. beautiful daughter some ~
the city and went to live with relatives in
the east, carrying sad heart and broken
reputation with her. There, in country
town, she lived life of utter seclusion, and
without hope. The life of the husband in
St. Louis W as not less lonely and wretcbed
He had sincerely loved his wife and be-
lieved she was endowed with many amiaole
qualities, and that she was not beyond the
reach of conscience and the requirements
of duty. After much reflection he resolved
to overlook the past and to take his former
wife again to his home and heart, provided
he could obtain pledges from her which
would Justify him in the reasonable hope
that he would have no cause in the future
to repent his action. He began negotia-
lions which finally resulted III re-marriage
only few weeks since. The event created
great surprise in this city. where all the
parties are well-known, and the husband is
greatly commended for his magnaEimity
and bearing throughout the whole affair.
So runs the world away.
Curiosity in regard to the disappearance
and return of Chester II. Krum has not
be en- satisfied yet by any adequate explana-
tion he or his friends have given. Judge
Krum had lucrative law practice and held
several fiduciary trusts. He held a leading
place at the bar of this city, and was re-
spected and trusted by all who knew h'm.
Some time in April he went to Oh cago, os-
tensibly on bus and from that point
he proceeded to New York where all trace
of him was lost. At first his absence at
tracted little no'ice from his brethren at
the bar who allowed the cases in which he
was engaged to be continued. After an alb
sence Of several weeks there began to be
some inquiry OF the family as to his where
abouts, and the statements OF the different
members were so vague and contradictory
as to arouse suspicion. Closer investiga'
lions followed, and the assistance of pri'
yate detective agency was called into requi-
sition by and with the consent OF the fam
ily. Judge Krum was traced to the Abe
marie hotel, New York, which he left in a
hack, and from that point no further infor-
nation concerning him could be ba'. he
had evidently tried 10 conceal his move
ments and the general impression was that
he had gone TO Europe, and that an exami-
nation OF his accounts would show heavy
defalcations. Matters stood IN this way tor
a week or two longer, the feeling OF sus-
picion and the curiosity of the public all
The time growing stronger and stronger.
Finally be was discovered OIL a railway
train In California by st. Louis detective,
who Immediately informed his principal in
this city. The wife Of the missing man was
notified of the fact by the detective agency
but that lady, instead of receiving the news
eraciously, returned very warm and Ia
comic note, the purport OF which was that
she wished the detective bureau would at
tend TO its own affairs. This circumstance
settled the matter in the minds OF many
people, and Judge Krum was removed from
the management Of the Ford estate by the
order Of the court, and a successor was APP
pointed. IL began to be stated that the
Judge was a deiaulter for large amounts.
In the course OF two weeks more the miss
ing man returned as suddenly as he left.
He would give no reason for his absence,
saying that il was a personal matter with
which the public had no concern. he de-

and satisfactory. There has nothing sub

Therefore, the causes OF his
sudden disappearance. so lar as the general
public are concerned. are more inexplicable
than before. The most plausible theory Is
that he had surrounded himself with asso.
Citations which he knew were harmful, and
which were dragging him down TO ruin,
from which ne felt himself too weak TO
break away while be remained in the city.
Thersupon he resolved upon heroic rem
