with his wife and children q few weeks ago to
Charleston, 3. c., to live. Last Sunday night
he had a sad experience which should be re-

church. A little son i've years old, who had
always slept with his parents, was put to bed
with an older brother In anticipation of their
leaving the family room dark. He objected
ana cried incessantly- The father threatened
hush, knowing that the child was morbidly
afraid of darkness when alone. The little
fellow cried louder than before, and the threat
was put into execution. On being locked In the
dark room the child gave three piercing
screams and tainted. On coming 10 IL was dis
covered that the once bright and promising

The Bartol Divorce Case.

AN APPROACHING TRIAL IN WHICH PHILA-
DELPHIA SOCIETY IS DEEPLY INTERESTED.
The Bartol divorce case, in which Henry W.
Bartol, a wealthy sugar redner of Philadelphia,
is libellant, and his wife, Mary c. Bartol, re-
spondent, will come up for trial in the common
pleas court No. 2, of that city, at the December
session. The libel in the divorce proceedings
was filed some months ago, and the case was to
have been heard in September, but was post
poned on account of Mr.. BartOl's absence in Eu-
rope. He returned recently and both sides are
now making active preparations for the trial.
Mr. BartOl seeks an absolute divorce on the
ground Of alleged infidelity: the names of three
Herewith, one ofthem wellknown resident of
New York.
THE LADY's STRENUOUS DENIAL.
Mrs. Bartol is at present residing at the home
of her father, Charles H. Cheyney, ST., at Chey-
ney, Delaware county, near Media, Pa, where
she has lived since the separation from her hus-
pretty, dark-eyed, bright little girls of IL and
child, a boy, is with Mr. BartoI at his city home.
Mrs. Bartol positively denies the statement las
coming from Mr.. BartoD published short time
to her husband over two years ago. She and
her friends claim that it is only ruse Of Mr..
Bartoi to bolster up the charge and strengthen
in toto, and claim to be able TO show Mr.. Bar
tolls motive in making 1t and his object in en-.
the case inch by To- the bttePp
and feel confident that they will succeed in
winning and preventing the writ being granted.
COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE.
Mr.. Cheyney, Mrs. Bartol's father, is q promi-
nent real estate operator doing business in
Philadelphia. At the age of eighteen the future
Mrs. Bartol was the acknowledged belle in the
circle in which she moved-a charming bru.
nette with regular features. clear, olive com.
plexion and sweet, winning smile. She had
been well educated and early made her debut
in Philadelphia society, where she first met her
future husband. Mr.. Bartol was attracted by
her beauty and winning manner, and soon after
forming her acquaintance the greater portion
OF his summer vacations were spent at Cheyney,
and sociables, lawn parties and fishing excur-
sions were Of almost daily occurrence during
his stay. The couple were married In February,
1859, the event being celebrated BY brilliant
reception at the home of the brides father.
The young couple seemed to be very much
attached TO each other. To all appearances
they lived happily together for years after their
marriage, and four children were born to them,
three of whom are living. Several years ago,
however, the happiness Of their domestic circle
was broken, and although the scandal was
hushed by the mutual friends of the couple, II
was finally revealed to the public by Mr.. Bartol
openly charging his wife with unfaithfulness
| and tnstitutfng proceedings for divorce.
