phla court pronounced him blgamist by
setting aside his divorce, has not yet been,
arrested. When he frsS disap peared it
was reported that Mrs. Nickerson No.
he'd accompanied him, as she was not visi-
BILE to callers at her home. 1t now appears,
however, that she merely secluded herself
from curiosity seekers, as her family au-
thorized the statement that at no time
since the decree of the court was pr O.
nounced has she lived with Nickerson. This
course she adopted by advice of her law
yer, and she has not seen or heard from
her quondam husband since. She is now
living with her mother, Mrs. Garter,
lady we'll advanced in years, who
is much broken by the troubles which have
befallen the family, another daughter hav-
ing died within a week past. An uncle of
the lady, Mr.. Edward Wilson, who is here
from New York to see the family through
the present difficulties, requested the denial
OF the report that mis- niece had gone away
with Nickerson. He expresses himself in
unstinted measures concerning the conduct
Of Nickerson, who had undoubtedly acted
without due regard for the high sense of
honor that should actuate every gentleman.
Niclerson was a shrewd, worldly man
of ripe experience forty five years old
and must have known his divorce from his
present wife was illegal. He must have
known it was irregular at least, and yet in
spite of this he bad taken adv antage of an
innocent young lady, twenty or twenty
two ears of age, ana duped her into
marriage that had brought only shame and
disgrace on her and her family. Miss Lena
Carter had never been used to the ways of
the world. She had been raised strictly,
and never allowed to go anywhere except
when chaperoned. It was therefore an easy
matter to influence her, and she had been
greatly imposed on by Nickerson.
There had been no male protector
in the family to warn and protect
her, and If there had been Nickerson would
not have succeeded so easily. Il wish l
had been here" exclaimed Mr.. Wilson, his
eyes flashing fire, 81 would have cowhided
that fellow or puta ball through his head"
There is a report tonight that Major Nick
erson, the hero of two wives, had not left
the city, but is still in hiding here. If he
should leave, the proceedings of the mill
tary court would possibly be much more
severe, as General Sherman had ordered
him not leave to Washington. For this rea-
son army officers think he may still be
here.

The correspondent lost no time in see

"Ambitious hypocrite."
q meant Senator Logan" he replied,
''and l can prove the assertion. Let me
tel you significant circumstance which
is directly in the line of confederation of
what have said. Last January the Re-
publican national executive committee
met at tha Arlington hotel in this city.
Before It adjourned Logan had resou-
tion passed thanking Charles A. Hooker,
assistant secretary and sergeant arms
of the house of representatives of
the last congress, for his services

name was not included in the resoIu-
tion. DO not care much about that fact,
bat it was a deliberate insult to me. Hooker
did not work during the campaign, while
every politician of note, including Garfield
and Arthur, had personally thanked me for
valuable services rendered the party. In
view of the fact that [ was charged with
dirty and mean work in Indiana, perhaps
was entitled to some little recognition.
At that time Logan acted in this matter
from purely selfish motives. There was
an understanding between Logan and
Hooker. The latter was to give Logan
the Vermont delegation in the convention
of next year. Logan was to give
Hooker his support for sergeant
of the senate to succeed Col. Dick Bright.
| do not think Mr.. Hooker can deliver the
Vermont delegation to Logan. A more
treacherous man and bigger demagogue
than the senior senator for Illinois does not
live. If he should get the nomination 1
will give him one of the worst rackets that
