engaged in illicit distilling are DESTROYS of
abandoning their unlawful practices, the

Congress provides a shorter period OF limita-
ton for the prosecution of offenses against

emigrated to this country, leaving his wife
to follow later. He had been working some

his wife was in this country. He at once
set about finding her, but his. search, which
lasted for many years and was very expen-
siye, was fruitless until he discovered her
few days ago in this city. His reception
was exceedingly COOL His wife had mar
ried Samuel Pfarrer and declared that she
would have nothing to do with Mr..
Schaeler. She claimed to have secured a
divorce, and believed herself free to marry
again. Mr.. Schaeler says he will prosecute
her for bigamy.
