anne Caroline Robinson, Lsnhart Robinson
who is uuder indictment for bigamy,
adultery and miscegenation, and who has
been wanted here and in Ohio for some
time is now behind the bars Of Wood county
Jail where she will probably remain until
justice is meted out to her. The Madame
will be remembered as Mrs Lenhart, (for-
merly Robinson) the keeper of house of
questionable repute for several years in this
city, and for some time the mis-
tress Of one of our best known
and weslthiest business men. When the
madame shook the dust of Parkersburg
from her feet she eloped with former col
ored employs named Robinson, this being
the name of her first husband, and while
living short time in Ohio she married the
negro, . full blooded African, and from
there they went West. For some fsneied
wrongs at the hand Of her former psramour
Of this city she has, it seems. sworn ven-
gesnce on his head, and for this purpose it
IS alleged, in accordance with repeated
threats, returned quietly to Parkersburg
Yesterday evening, and endeavored to elude
the vigilance Of the police, who were on the
lookout for the gentle Caroline, and this
morning she was arrested and placed in Jail
10 await trial.
The eventi created some excitement as
she had openly threatened violence against
the above mentioned prominent citizen, and
it is alleged that her present visit here was
for that express purpose and she was willing
TO take the risk of returning to West Vir-
ginia. If the case runs its length through
the court there will probably be some very
rich developments, and many persons occu-
pying prominent positions in society and
business circles viii be drawn into the sfair
and it is more than likely that the revels-
tions thereof will shake al classes OF Par
kersburg society. 1t is generally believed
that in the spacious psrors and gilded
psrlors apartments of the madam in years
past many young girls who might otherwise
be bright ornaments in the social circle have
been ruined and are now sleeping in pros
flutes grave or treading the path Of shame
which leads to that fearful goal

by the voters Of the city. There were twen-
tyseyen bids in all, txentysi of them be-
ing from Wheeling capitalists and one from
q New York City banker. The bids aggre-
gated $3.50 500, and when all had been
opened and properly scheduled they were
found TO range as follows: Nine bids, ag-
presating Sl36, 500 we're ct par; sixteen
bids, aggregasing sl2l, 900, ranged from par
up to, bat not including, Ii per cent
premium, and one bid for Sl96. GOO. and
as much more IS the city should choose to
award, was ct II per cent premium. This
latter bidder, who proved to be c. ]. Pear
son, of New York, the only out Of town
capitalist, was awarded ths entire amount
desired to be sold at this time By the city.
The total asscpnt of premiums to be paid

the hasty action when Noyes was named for

DROWNED.
Finding OF the Body Of Joseph Manning
Was It Suicide:

cfcctdl 70 Ms oanodghegH6'
PARKERsBURG, July ia deckhand on
the Kanawha packet G. C. Martin, named
Joseph Manning, was found drowned at the
wharfboat this morning, and up to present
writing, the case seems to be shrouded In
mystery and nc light can be thrown upon
the subject, and there seems to be slight
ground for suspicion of foul play. 1t ap-
pears that Manning and Robert and Joe
Murray, sons of Captain Murray, owner Of
the C. c. Martin, were engaged in row at
one of the Neal street bagnios about two
o'clock this morning, and that is the last
time the deceased was seen alive. As
usual, there was q woman at the bottom OF
the affair. Jennie Glenn, one Of the
inmates of Lou Maiden's rancho on Neal
street, had been receiving the attentions OF
manning for some time, but it seems that
last night Bob Murray occupied Manning 8
place at the side of the trail Jennie, and
when Manning repaired to Jennie's room
and found Bob occupying his place In the
affections of Jennie he became furious and
the two repaired to the street to fight it out.
The quarrel attracted the attention of po-
liceman Nerney, who quieted the beligerents,
and the deceased started towards the wharf
boat, where the steamboat on which he was
employed was tied up. That was the last
seen of him until his lifeless body was
found between the steamboat and the wharf
boat at an early hour this morning.
Red Petty, who is employed as clerk on
the wharf boat, states that while he was
standing on the Swami House corner about
o'clock he heard some one fall in the
water and cry of distress, but when he
reached the spot found no trace Of any one.
Going aboard the boat he made enquiry,
but no one there had heard any alarm.
Search was made and the body of Man.
ming was recovered in short time. The
body was stretched on the levee and there
allowed to remain for several hours
before they decided what to do
with it. Justice Davis refused to
hold inquest on the grounds of insufficient
cause, but owing to the mystery surround.
ing the case Squire T. P. Butcher deemed
it best to DO 80, and verdict Of drowning,
from causes unknown to the jury, was rem
dered. The remains were taken in charge
