Special 10 ths Sunday ReeiSi-.
GRAFTON, W. Va. May quite SEN
sational rumor is to-day current on our
streets, and after q lengthy investigation BY
your correspondent is found to contain a
great deal Of truth. 1t seems that some
time last fall /. A. Bevegkn, dealer in fur
niture-and by the way a very successful
business man-ln this city drove from her
home his wife, alleging that she was IN no
way justified in claiming him as her has
band Since that time Mrs. B. has insti-
tuted suit in the circuit court for divorce
and alimony, and dispositions in the case
we're taken before notary public at the Of
fee of S. P. Mccormick, Mr.. Mccormick
representing the plaintiff and Mr.. Mason the
defendant. During the course of exsmina-
ton some very rich things in connection
with the suit were brought out among them
the fact that the time Of the marriage OF the
parties in Fayette county, Pa, that Mrs. b.
was then the lawful wife Of one Foster, who
had deserted her for another woman. The
Eagle" published these facts this week and
it coming to the notice of Harry Beyerlin,
son of the parties and junior of the firm of
]. A. Beverlin & Son, he at once asked his
father for what reason he had charged him
with being an Legitimate child, at which
the old governor got mad and charged
Harry with paying out moneys belonging to
the firm for to further his mothers interests
in her suit for allimony. At this the young
man struck his father and lively row
ensued and had it not been for
the interference of Mr.. Sanford White, who
happened in the store at that moment and
separated the combatants, the result might
have been serious, as Harry had his father
in the corner Of the room and would un-
doubtedly have done him up in good
shape" Now comes the strsngest part of
all. Some time since lady by the name
of White arrived here and had her goods ad-
dressed 10 I. A. Beverlin, but hearing of the
divorce case she at once withdrew only to
return yesterday, and it is rumored and well
founded that she and Beverlin were yester-
day made man and wife ct Oakland, Md.

Lion and the Sleepy John, opened i'll full
blast with q tree set-up to the boys, who
were also in TAI blast later in the day. Ii

has left his curse lowering over this village
and departed for a more cougenial cline.
Holland was indicted in our Circuit Court,
and after bavips been found guilty he ap-
pealed two q the cases. These two were
precisely similar to a large number Of
others against Holland and, the Supreme
Court having affirmed the judgement of our
Circuit Court, Prosecuting Attorney Mere
dith had issued capias pro fine against
the offender and Sheriff Msnley promptly
served it. Holland asked for few hours
in which to arrange for paying up, and dur
ing that short interval he folded his tent
like the Arabs, and as silently stole away.

ures and their home one Of the most elegant
in official circles. They still live at the Ar
liz gton hotel, having not been able to obtain
a house such as suited to their views. Mr..
Manning is hard worker and has his desk
in one OF his rooms at the hotel. de has
seen in his successful career from office boy
up to Secretary of the Treasury, the value
Of hard work, indeed its absolute necessity,
anG he has not forgot this lesson now when
The eyes of the whole nation are upon him.
He is often seen al his desk late at night,
fsr into the small hours and is early at 1t
again. Mrs. Manning is very handsome
youDg woman, ambitious, as she has per
Iect right to be, and will make her home,
when it is selected one of the most elegant
in Washington. Mr.. Manning is by no
means dependant upon his salary AMI the
Maturing home when it is selected will no
doubt be quite worthy Of the Secretary of the
Treasury OF the greatest nation Of the civil
lied world.
Postmaster General Villas has not yet
reached and determination regarding his
residence. Mrs Villas will not come here
permanently until fall, so nothiny definite is
yet arranged about their home. Meantime
Colonel Villas still lives at the E bit house,
and wrestles far into the night with the du-
ties of his position. His room is work
shop. There is table always filed with
papers, and at the side of the room desk
where he sits and works. He has the most
lsborious of all the cabinet positions and he,
like others Of the cabinet who have brought
their own success by their own exertIons,
realizes the Importance of hard work. 1t 10
no uncommon thing for him to be at the Of
fee before zine o'clock, and ne seldom
leaves until long after the hour Of closing,
and while the snhordinates Of the depart
inert are dining with their families or taking
the air on pleasant drives about the city he
is still.at his desk ir the Office or ~ home,
with his nose still on the etfye grindstone.
Secretary LamarS habits are somewhat
different from those OF his cabinet compan-
ions, H IS a good deal of student and
resdf of literature and is inclined to give
most of his time outside Of Office hours to
this sort OF relaxation. He has not decided
what his home will be during his term as
member Of the cabinet His daughter will
be with him and will form member OF a
very interesting group of cabinet young
ladies', there being no less than FIVE OF the
cabinet members who are blessed with
daughters Of such age as to assist in the
social duties accompanying their positions.

CLARKsBuRG. May 2.-0n Wednesday
quite sem alton occurred in this city.
While Charles Shane. q prominent and pop
ulsr young man, was returning to the CORK
hotel, better known as the Walker house,
rough BY the name of James Stout from
the upper part of this county, attacked and
knocked him down, and while undertaking
10 kick him, was opposed by Ellsworth Cork'
who promptly foored Stout. By this time
Shane was on his feet and pursued Stout to
the depot, where he escaped arrest by the
authorities Stout showed himself to be
notorious coward and the policemen will
watch for him in the future.
The difficulty is supposed to have been
occasioned or brought on by Shane some
years ago putting Stout out Of school
house, where the former was teaching, and
the latter mishehaving. Stout is reckless
and is said to have come to blows with his
father but short time since.
On Thursday evening at the Court
House an informal meeting was held to get
an expression of the citizens Of Clarksburg
as to the propriety Of purchasing lot and
er, citing thereon, an Entertainment hall,
Me yor's office, Station house &c. No steps
wire taken by the Council for the reasons,
no doubt, that it was not in their power to
charge the tax payers, without
vo,e of the people regarding the
sD cunt of an appropriation for such
pur poses. And had they the legal right so
10 co, it is questionable whether such meas
urt would meet with their appreciation at
prs sent; especially 30 as the town is now
inc ebted to the Weston Railroad and the
grave yard fund, besides the necessity OF
prt per appropriation for the purpose ofpur-
chasing public cemetery and establishing
a city reservoir. Also it will not De long
until the people will be asked by taxation to
build the county court house and pay the
subscription to the West Virginia Central
Railroad. However on Saturday night
another meeting is expected at which full
from the citizens will be had and
ps rbaps by our next report we can furnish
the facts in particular.
Rev. Brook, who has been attending the

tsr7 will be by no means dependant upon
the mesgre salary attached to his position
to make his home attractive. Mr.. Endieott

for hard work, though he will probably find
it necessary to have desk at his house and
occasionally dispatch some business there.

The Attorney-General has very modest
house on Connecticut avenue, the swell
residence street of the city. His mother
presides over it, and insists on retaining in
its parfors the furnishings brought from
their Arkansas home. She has great at
lection for the State which has so often hon
ored her son and for their old home there, and
she delights in the reminders of it which
were brough with them. So she keeps one
room in the modest home of the Attorney
General furnished with these furnishings 1t
is the Arkansas room" the one with the
most pleasant memories to her. The At
torrey General is fairly hard worker and
fnds it necessary TO give some time at his
home to the duties of his office.
