ChicaEO's Social sensalion-Latest News
 About the Disappearance of Dr. Jones
 and Mrs. Bigelow.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Social circles here have been very much scandalized during the past week over 8 matter which has now as- sumed such defidite form as to warrant men tion in these dispatches. The parties are Dr. H. Webster Jones, one of the most skill full and prosperous obstetrical physicians in the West, enjoying practice worth $50, 900 per annum, and Mrs. May Alexander Bige low, who has some reputation as book re- viewer for one of the daily papers. Dr. Jones' reputation was always of the cleanest' but the woman was living with her third hus- band, having secured divorces from the other two. In July she was in Remington, Ind, with friends. Towards the close of the month she disappeared from that place, and Dr. Jones disappeared from Chicago Grad ua1ly the fact that they had gone together be- came bruited about, and the further fact that Dr. Jones had confessed to fascination for the woman and his inability to resist it also came to the surface, together with another fact that he had been largely instrumental in securing for her literary work.
 dispatch to the Tribune from Quebec says that Dr. Jones in company with wo- man and little girl of five years, whom he registered as his wife and child, arrived there on the 1st of August, and sailed for Liverpool on the 4th. It is furthermore said that a well known Chicagoan met Dr. Jones at Covent Garden Theater, in London, on the 18th of August, in company with 8 woman. On the other hand, intimate friends of Dr. Jones say that neither they nor his family nor anyone else know where he is, and that all the talk about his movements IS mere rumor All that is positively known is that the man and woman are gone. His friends say that his family are well provided for. The wo- mans husband says that he knows of no reason for her departure, and that he re- ceiyed letter from her short time before she left saying that their married life had not been altogether pleasant, and that she proposed to go East and try to make living for herself apd child by literary work.
