The infelicities which some;imes
arises from the practice of marrying
in haste and repenting at leisure were
very strikingly illustrated in SaE aba
Wednesday evening. Some years ago
q Mr.. Udick, German, living ut that
time in the northern part of the state,
succeeded in persuaded a maiden OF
fifteen, well-raised and refined, to run
away from the parental roof and Join
her lot with his. The course of their
welded life ran smoothly for awhile,
and in course Of time child was born
to them. After this Udick became
jealous of his better half and stealing
the child left the wife and mother, and
about IL months ago came to this coun.
Is, and purchased "A piece of land few
miles from town, but becoming dis.
couraged, he abandoned the purchase,
and has since heen living here and
there, doing but little for himself and
less for the world. The child, now
about six years old, was left in care of
Mr.. Matt. Bowman Wednesday morn
ing while its father came to town
to attend court. Sometime last week
a woman, having rhe appearance of n
cultured and refined lady, stopped at
the Doffiemyre house and remained
over night, and has, until Wednesday,
been in and about town. Wednesday
she secured buggy and accompanied
by man, she went to Mr.. Bowman's
and took the child, claiming il rs her
own. Udick, who was in town, soon
found out that the child had been taken
by its mother, and at once circulated a
report that they had been divorced
and that he had been given the custo
dy Of the child by authority Of law,
Applying to Justice Thomas for war
rant for the arrest of the woman on
charge of kidnapping his child, the
Justice insormed him 1t wonld be nee
essary for him to make oath to the fact
of having been divorced, when he de-

or having authority for the custody of
the child from any court. The man at
once endeavored to got possession OF
the child, but the woman was obsti-
nate and refused to give up the child
or have any further intercourse with
her truAnt husband. She applied to
the officers Of the law for protection,
aud with sheriff or two in company,

4 STORY OF DOMESTIC tNFELIclTY
IN HIGH LIFE.

A Countess Discovers That Her Husband
Has Another Love-An Legitimate on
spring-The wife's Method of Revenge
The Heir-The End.
LONDON, Feb pa dIspaJcn rom Odessa
states that the criminal court at Pofrava,
Monday, rendered its decision in the case o.
the Countess Won Kirkescoffen, who was con
victed, last Saturday. of feloniously sup
pressing will and of inhuman cruelties
which caused the death of a peasant woman
named Norna Janisprelski. The sentence of
the court was that the defendants own
property be confscated to the crown, that
her late husbands title and estates revert to
certain distant relatives, and that she
be imprisoned ten years The trial
occupied the greater part of last week,
and caused an immense sensation in Russia
The facts as told in court are as fol
lows In 1852 the defendant, then Mile
Olga Bervankski was married TO Count
Nicolas Won kirkescoffen. She was "a
years old and he was two years younger
The marriage was one of convenience for
property reasons. No children were ever
born to them In 1853 the countess discoq-
cred that her husband had a liaison with a
girl that he had established at gamekeep-
er's lodge. The girls ACCOMPLISHMENT led to
the discovery. Shorty after the child was
born the countess had 1t stolen from the
lodge and brought to her at the castle
She testified in court that her intention
was to strange it, but she afterward
decided that she could punish her hus-
band more by compelling him to announce
the child as her offspring and his legitimate
heir. The boy was accordingly brought up
in this belief, but he was treated with great
severity by the COUNTS In 1874, when he
was 81 years old, he left home and has since
lived an extra yagabond life in various
European capitals In 1850 his father died,
leaving will which declared the secret of
the young mans birth, but left him all the
counts personal property, amounting to a
considerable fortune The countess had this
will, but did not destroy it The young
count succeeded to thu title and estates with
out question, but continued to live abroad
The counts paramour WIS still living,
and the countess caused her TO be
seized and imprisoned in the castle, where
she was treated with such rigor that she be
came insane and died of voluntary starva
ton in 1854 Recently the young count
went home on a business visit and accident
ally found the suppressed will. He placed
it i'll the hands of the public prosecutor and
returned to Paris, taking the name of NJ
Nicolas JanispreisKi, He has ample. means,
hut is said to be drinking himself to death
An appeal to the crown is to be made on he
half Of the countess. The car is very
severe upon any tampering with title
among the Russian nobility, but as the sen
tence of Imprisonment is based only on tn,
charge of murder, it is hoPad that tn,
| countess may be allowed to retire to a con
vent for life For many years she has beeI
reputed lady of austere piety.
