4 Lillian figured as whipper and Charlie
: II. Peabody and Rosie Licemer, I
3 would-be Peabody, figured ~ whip

The Peabodys dropped down int
Wilmington, from nobody seems Il
know where exactly, but they say from
Dansville, New York, sometime Lac,
February, Charles finding employ mon,
at the Jackson Il Sharp car works as q
painter. 1t was sometime afterward
when Lillian set down her cabba and
parasol In the city and elaine Charles
as her lawful husband.
Peabody, though not particularly ,
objscting to having wife, insist
cd on having one Of his own
choosing, and denied that he had ever
been married TO the woman, and posi-
lively declined being called . husband
before he had made the preliminary
himself. In short, he thought that
where but two engaged In such q
business, he ~ one Of the parties ought
to have something to say, and he init
mated that II he wanted 70 marry ever
80 bad Lillian would not be his first
choice, unlsss the material OF which
wives we're usually made would grow
good deal scarcer than 1t then was.
This rebuff offended Lillian, and
being In somewhat needy circumstances
she engaged a. domestic in q family
where she could watch tho outgoinRs
aad incomings Of the man she claimed
~ her husband. Finding hin inexor-
able, she at last grew discouraged, and
without the aid Of a hsarse she hied
herself to Old Sweds's cemetery, where
she took dose Of poison with the in.
tention no doubt Of ending misc able
life. Here, however, shs was found
before the poison had done its work,
and with the aid Of . physician and =
stomach pump her life was saved.
Thus matters went on for several
months. Charles was thrown into the
company Of Rosie Licemer and his &C
QuAintanc" ripening into love which
ran along very smoothly. Lillian hear
ing Of this, IN ade stir about, and both
making threats, they were both arrest.
cd and Squire Vandegrift bound them
over to keep the peace.
Rosie, lsarning Of this, called upon
Lillian and asked il she was really his
wife, stating that arrangements were
being made for their marriage Ia Octo- |
Der. Rosie then severed her connec.
ton with Peabody, and his wife 70
cured . situation In tho household at |
423 L. 7th Ut.
Since then, however, Peabody disa-
bused Rosie's mind OF its unfAvorable
Impression, and upon bis reprssen-
tation that he would be mis-
erable man all through life without her
for wife, she consented to make him
happy, and last Tuesday evening WAS
the time f1xed and Chester the place
when and whore Rosie Lioemer
was to be made Rosie Peabody.
In accordance with this arrange
ment, the 80 north bound train on
evening found Charles and
Resie In occupancy of single seat.
