4 Voman's Whfm-Shs Surprises Her
 Husband by Seeking a Divorce While
 Living With Him liza Apparent HaPpI-
 
 WHEELING, Feb. 3.-A strange divorce suit is now pending in this county. The parties in the case are both residents of this city. Mrs. William Gregory filed petition for di- vorce while her family still remained intact aud her husband knew nothing of It until the notice was served on him two weeks ago The family has always lived in the same house, the husband and father providing for them. Four children were born to them, some of whom are married and living in this city. MT. Gregory left home. went to an hotel and began boarding when the proceed ipgs were begun. This caused the tongues of the gossips to wag, but though the parties move in the best of society no one cares to inquire into the cause of tho trouble. The husband has now filed cross bill, in which he alleges that he has been faithful and de- serving husband during all his married life and has provided well for his family; but for the past eight years his wife has withheld from him the natural affections of & wife, &c. He asks that her petition be dismissed, but does not pray for divorce.

The Long Ialand Oatrdges-R ugg In .
 PrecRrtOus condition.
 NEW YORK, Feb 3.-The interest in the Long Island murders is deepensd by the crit icai condition of the prisoner Charles H, Rugg, who, 1t is thought, is guilty of the Maybee murder and the Townsend assault, as we'll as many others, including the atro- cious attack on Seeley Sprague, to which he confesses, and perhaps She horrible murder of Rose Amber, near Bridgeport, Conn, last summer. Since this man was attacked with convulsions upon being brought face to face with damning proofs of his guilt on Thurs day he has not recovered his health He has remained in bed in state of nervous pros tration. He appears very weak and utterly broken in spirit, and is, in fact, in too con- fused 8 state of mind to throw any light npon the recent crimes, supposing him to be able and SO disposed. Mir. Sprague the victim of the last of the three awful crimes that have created reign of terror among the Long Island farmers, had a relapse yesterday, and the physicians attending him have given up all hope of his recover. If he dies before the grand jury meets on March there can bs little doubt that Rugg, who confesses to assaultipg him, will suffer the penalty of death, even though proof should fail of his complicity in the other crimes. MT. Sprague was sufficiently conscious yesterday to tell that his assailant was colored man. Mrs James c. Townsend is in a somewhat i'm proved condition. Her physicians hold to the opinion, however, that her death is but 8 matter of days, or at most, of weeks They say she cannot recover from the wounds and shock sustained on the terrible night of Jan- uary z.

Wendell Phillips, though rich man, lived
 very plainly in an old fashioned house in Boston. His wife has been an invalid since her marriage, and never leaves her room. They had no children. MT. Phillips last public appearance was at the dedication of the Harriet Martineau statue, December 26, in the old South meeting house, Although MT. Phillips has lived so much retired of late he has retained his interest in public affairs as keenly as ever, and frequent communica tons from him have appeared in the papers His home is on Common street. in quaint part of the city, in the vicinity of the Hollis street church, and very near the famous gathering places of the anti slavery men dur. ing the agitation before the war. It was at a house within stons's throw of his residence that number of anti-slavery women took refuge in 1885, when driven from public hall by mob. MT. Phillips has lived there with his invalid wife since his removal from nls historic house on Essex street, which was demolished fe~ years ago to make room for B street improvement.
