The reporter followed his friend around
the corner and up two flights of stairs to
the top floor of brick building near the
centre of the city. The apartment which
they entered was about twenty-five feet
wide by sixty in length, having two sky
lights and six windows on the street front.
Along the same side of the room were

ERTY.
Mrs. Fannie Elton Armitage has filed
bill in the common pleas court 10 recover
dowrv interest in her husbands proper
ty, through which quite singular lie
history is revealed. Her husband was
Wilberforce Armitage. came OF an OLD
and once wealthy family, and was born
in Leicestershire. England. He grad
uated from Cambridge and read law, but
abandoned the idea after short time, and
was placed in the English army by his
uncle, Captain Henry Standish. He went
to India, but after few months service
he became involved in an alteration with
a superior officer, and selling out his COM
mission he wrote his uncle that he desired
to return home The latter promised to
forgive him i; he. the nephew, would re-
turn home and marry distant relative,
girl of sixteen, who was an helress IN. her
own right; but Armitage declined to ac-
cept the offer, and went TO Canton, China,
where he engaged in the tea trade. He
remained here two years, and ten ac-
cepted an offer TO superinted sugar
plantation in Jamaica, but was wrecked
on the passage and lost all his savings.
After floating around the ocean in an
open boat for several days he was picked
up bv an American vessel and taken to
Boston Subsequently he enlisted in the
Federal army, participating in number
of battles, and was wounded at Gettys-
burg. While scouting in Virginia he was
chased by some confederates and took
refuge in a negro cabin on the plantation
of Isaiah Elton, the father of the COM
plainant in the case. The Confederates
pursued hun very closely, and he was
forced to seek safety in the woods. Here
he met Fannie Elton, who conducted him
to the house, and afterward assisted him
to get back TO the Union lineo. Armitage
at the conclusion of the war went to Cali
fornia, and succeeded in making mode--
ate fortune. He subsequently took up his
residence in this city and invested in real
estate. He met here in 1878 his friend OF
the war days, Miss Elton. Her father had
been impoverished by the war, and was
dead Armitage offered marriage and
was accepted. The ceremony was per-
formed quietly. The bridegroom was
called by telegraph to England to see
bis uncle, Captain Standish, for, as was
thought, the last time He asked that the
fact Of the marriage might not be divulged
until his return. Captain Standish re-
covered. His nephew. however, died on
the voyage back to this country, and was
buried at sea. Mrs. Armitage, in her bill,
asks that in the partition of her late hus-
bands property one third interest as a
widow be awarded to her She appends
as an exhibit to her bill certificate of
marriage, The matter has been referred
by the court to p +. Rothermel as an ex-
aminer to take testimony Philadelphia
