Fled to Avoid Prosecution.

About ten days ago the divorce suit of Louis
A.. Patterson against Anna M. Patterson, was on
trial before Judge Walker, and during the tes-
timony one of the witnesses let drop the remark
that the plaintiff was an inmate of the Column
bus, O., insane asylum. Patterson was put on
the stand and swore that if his wife was insane
he did not know it. Judge Walker instituted
an inquiry, which resulted in discovering that
Mrs. Patterson was in the asylum and that her
husband knew it, and accordingly made a vigor-
GUS effort to get him into court so as to have
him prosecuted for perjury, but he had fed-pre-
sumably to st. Louis.

office. The friends of Miss Wishard, who is
an attractive and cultured lady, will be glad to

Accused of Stealing Harness.

Glenn Christy, a West Washington-street har-
ness dealer, was arrested last night by Detective
Thornton, on the charge of grand larceny and
receiving stolen goods. Christy is charged with
being the fence of a gang of harness thieves,
whose depredations have been going on for more
than a year. A few days ago Thornton traced
some of the stolen stuff to Noblesvile and New
Britain, Hamilton county, where he was in
formed by the persons, in whose possession it
was found, that they had purchased it from
Christy, whose arrest followed. Some of the
property recovered has been reclaimed by c. E.
Merrifeld and Mr.. Crane, but more is awaiting
a claimant at the Central Station.

ers,
DIR. F. A. Smith, the great magnetician, whose
wonderful power and remarkable cures created so
much interest in this city and elsewhere, and who
has been absent for some time, has returned to
this city to remain permanently. His office
rooms will be at his old place in Vaien's block,
sc IL North Pennsylvania street. Yesterday a
Journal reporter witnessed him operate and
make one of the most remarkable cures ever re-
corded. The operation was upon an old lady
some sixty years Of age, who had suffered for
years with rheumatism, and who had TO use
crutches In walking. The treatment was entirely
magnetic and on the outside of the clothing. It
was but twenty minutes from the time the doc
tor began the treatment until the patient was
able to walk about the room without crutch or
cane.
This lady will have no further use for her
crutches," said the Doctor; 'the cure will be per-
manent; watch it and see. In all cases where
there is no fracture of the bone or loss of organ,
l guarantee a cure in every case"
is rheumatism your speciality" asked the re-
porter.
