A large sized row was created in the
domicile of Chsrles Curry yesterday, &C.
casioned by the knowledge reaching his
wife that be had been receiving very sf.
fectionate letters from domestic in the
employ of Mrs. Stsrkey. The outraged
wife, stung with the knowledge of the inf
deity of her husband, sought prominent
attorney and laid her case before him. The
services of policeman were invoked and
the recreant husband was soon in the at

A SUCCESSFUL SCHEME.
What a Bazoo Reporter Learned
on q Brief Visit to the Fort
Worth Hospital.

A representative of the BAzOo a short
time since paid q very pleasant visit to the
Fort Worth Missouri Pacific hospital, and
was surprised and grsti6ed to find such an
institution. The building is roomy and
arranged for the accommodation, health,
convenience and pleasure of those who are
wounded in the hazardous employment in
which they a-augaged:
The Fort Worth building was planned
and erected at great cost, and is especially
designed for hospital. Ii is superintended
and managed with much executive ability.
1t is . model of neatness and clean
illness from cellar to roof. The
kitchen is supplied with all the
modern improvements that skill and
ingenuity could devise to make its
product pslatable to the most delicate
taste, while the larder is well ladened with
all that the most delicate invalid could
cram. All this vast establishment with its
sixty-6ve patients is under the charge of
DR.. J. w. Jackson, chief surgeon, assisted
by DR.. North and other competent medical
attendants. The mansgement-the super
intendency of the hospitals at Fl. Worth
and Sedalia are under the charge of +. s.
Arnold, esq, Of this city, man who for
integrity, cspability, industry and honesty
of purpose has few equals and none to excel
II was q wise move for the benefit of the
employees of the Gould roads, when Col.
Talmage and DIR. Jackson organized this
system of hospitals. The men are becom-
ing more and more converted to the hOspi-
tai system daily, and as to the success.
nothing more need TO De seen than to view
them, and nothing need to be said more
than that DR.. Jackson and F. s, Arnold are
at the head.

FRANKFORT, KY, Oct. 1l.-Col. John
Q. Shoemaker, editor and proprietor
Of the indianapolis Sentinel, will be
here next week to take the deposi-
tions of several persons in this Sec
ton, which will be of important val
tie TO the defendant in the damage
suit brought by the Republican can
didatc for the presidency against the
Sentinel Company. If reports be
true, the testimony ofat least one gen.
tleman will be especially damaging
to the Plumed Knight who aspires to
the highest Office in the gift of the
American people. This gentleman
was an old friend, chum and conf
dent of Blaine while he was teaching
school near Drennon Springs, IN Hen
~ county. 1t is asserted that he will
testify that from the month of March,
1851, at which time Blaine allel e that
he married his present wife for the
second time, and the Sth of June Of
the same year, on which day their
first child was born, tina. Blaine was
at Drennon Springs, and was devoted
and, in fact, deeply in love with
Il very excellent and charming young
lady Of tina! neighborhood. She was
not aware thathe was married, neith-
er did he tell her that he was, nor
were any OF the residents Of that vii
lagc informed of his marriage while
he was cOurting this lady, who is how
dead. lie will say further that, while
Blainc's wife was in a delicate cUndi-
lion at Pittsburgh, at least for sevcla!
weeks before the birth of the child,
that she, nor any Of her immediate
family knew Of her husbands where
about, although they made strong
elUrts to ascertain where he was, ana
as soon they heard he was at Dren-
non Springs the Stanwoods sent him
Word that unless lie came to Pitts
burSh and joined lis wife that they
intended to force him to do SO. After
Blaine left DrennOn Springs he did
not forget the lady he was in love
with there, but, on the contrary bc
wrote her numerous letters, which
indicated his love for her. These let
ters are in existence to this day, and
are now i'll possession of Louisville

ceased lady. Colouel Shoemaker

The Premium Engraving issued by
"Peterson's Magazine" for 1885, like
everything else from that quarter, is
of rare excellence and beauty. II is
not one of the cheap colored litho-
graphs with which the country is
flooded, but a first-class line and stip-
pie engraving, executed in the high
est style of art. The artists are Ill
man Brothers, and they have en-
graved it-size, 81 inches by 27-ex-
pressly for "Peterson's Magazine" iii
their most brilliant manner. The
picture is called "The Lion In Love-"
and is capital affair: sure TO raise a
smile. In artistic merit, it is, we
think, one of the finest Peterson
has ever issued. Another of the pre-
miums is the "Pearl of Price" an il
lustrated volume of the American
poets. Another is an extra copy OF
the magazine, etc, etc. You can gel

For THE SOUTH KENTUCKIAN.
LINES ON THE DEATH CT DA.
WIS BUTLER.

On the enchanting Texas border,
Where the wild flowers bloom and wave,
Near where ruthless war left slaughter,
May be seen young mans grave.
o! how cruel is the sickle
That cuts down young manhood's prime,
Flesh isweak ahd health is tickle,
And no man can count his time.
Wealth allurements make us wander
Pleasure lands are sure TO charm,
Noblest hearts have failed to ponder
Where there's safety and where's harm.
Shall we ccnsurcp o! forbidit.
MANY n man has ycntured, won.
Then we say in words bellttcd,
"Let Gods will on earth be done"
Let sold Death" still have his vcpry;
Let the grave still have Its own:
Only let us be as ready,
When the summons calls us home.
Then in words full-fraught with meaning,
Words whose accents ring and thrill,
May we, on the Savior leaning,
Try to do his sovereign will.
Then may friends and loved ones cheer us,
As we journey ON our way
Leading mp to God and Heaven,
"To the bright and perfect day"
Parents, friends, mourn not the parting;
Other loved ones, gone before,
stand to welcome his arrival
On the fair, celestial shore.
BY ONE VINO LOVED HIM.

Although set down as "dcbatable,

leaving l46 votes for Blaine.
But is it at all certain that Blaine
will carry Ohio in November? In
the general election he will be unable
to concentrate money and personal
eXertion OH that State, as he did in

A chance of 5000 votes would take
Ohio out Of the Republican column in
November.
California is more likely to remain
Democratic than to turn back to Re-

in her wake. So it seems probable
that Blaine may be left with about a
dozen States after all.
This would be desirable result.
1t would avert all danger of an at

the honor and character of the nation

should he carry New York, he would

Cleveland carrying New York, and
then, too, by handsome majority,
amounts almost to certainty. Such
popular enthusiasm as he aroused in
both New York and Brooklyn has
never been witnessed before. The
Tammany organization promises TO
give him their full strength. The
independent Republicans claim that
they will give him 10000 votes, and
Blaine has nothing to hope for except
miraculous vote for Butler. Car
