AN UNFORTUNATE HUSBAND
How John Earrings Wife Became "Unfaithful
to Her Obligations Kirsch' Petition.

John Earring and Clarssa Earring were married
in Morgan county twenty four years ago. They
have three chiidren-the Oldest son twenty
one years Of age ana the youngest daughter
twelve years old. Yesterday the divorce com
plant of Earring was filed. He charges abandon
ment against his wife, which occurred on Mon
day last, and also alleges that on the same day
she was unfathful to her obligations as a wife
He says she once threw him out of chair, by
which he received serious injury, and that she is
otherwise cruel in beIating him in language '.too
sc andalous and indecent to utter" he also asks
for the custody of the children 1t may be add
ed that John was fined So and costs, by Squire
Johnson, on Monday last, for beating his wife
This is doubtless the way she became ''upfaith-
full to her Obligations"
Alice Kirsch yesterday applied for divorce
from John F. Kirsch. alleging abandonment and
cruelty. She makes the Union Railway Com
pany party defendant, because she says that
company controls money to be paid to Kirsch on
the 10th inst. She wants this money, $50 in all
With it she says she will pay rent, also due on
that day, and provide herself and children with
necessities, which Kirsch has failed to give
them.

STRANGE MARKS ON A CORPSE.
The Injuries to the Dead Body Of Amos Bish
Again To Be Investigated.

The papers of Peru. three or four weeks ago,
had extended articles concerning the death of
Amos N. Bish, of Denver, Miami county, which
occurred at the Insane Hospital here, on the
10th of last April The body was shipped to the
friends of the deceased in Denver. He had been
a victim of Authorizations and when he went to
the hospital was physically strong and healthy.
When the body was received at Denver, the
relatives Of the deceased examined it
and found marks of violence upon it.
There were some bruises upon the head, and the
neck was said TO be dislocated, and one ankle
fractured. The matter was brought to the AZ
tention of the coroner of Miami county, but he
did not think it matter of sufficient import to
make the thorough investigation that the rela
tives of the dead man thought was necessary.
The attention of DR.. Fletcher, of the Insane
Hospital, was called to the matter, and he in
vestigated the circumstances of Bish's death,
but could hear of no violence hav-
ing been used with him. The matter
has lately again been called to the
attention of Dr. Fletcher and yesterday he. in
company with Deputy Coroner Morrison, left for
Miami county to make another examination Of
the BODY
r. B. Forest, supervisor of the male ward, in
which Bish died, says that Bish was subject to
commissions, SO violent as to sometimes throw
himself out of bed and against articles of furni-
ture, and that the bruises were probably caused
in that way. Other attendants, including the
barber who shaved the corpse, say there were no
marks of violence on it.

four small children, one a baby, and by
his nephew, Samuel Beard. He had been
sick for some time with spinal disease, and his
mind was somewhat unbalanced, though the
physician at Princeton had thought it entirely
safe and proper for him to travel with his fam
lily. just before reaching Lebanon he went into
the water-closet at one end of the car, and re-
manned so long that his nephew grew suspicious
and went to see what he was doing. Hn opened
the door Of the closet and was Mortified to find
the body of his uncle doubled up on the floor,
with his throat cut from ear TO He
was dead when found, the jugular veins having
been severed. An old case-knife had been used.
The floor and sides of the closet two feet from
the floor were covered with blood. The con-
ductor was notified and the terrible news COM
municated to the wife and children. whose weep
ing became piteous. The passengers were much
excited and it became necessary to lock the
closet till the train arrived in the city On its
arrival the wife and children we're removed to
the wating-room, and Flanner e. Hommown
took the body from the closet and to their under
taking establishment. The wife and children
remained at the depot during the night in great
distress. They will be sent on to Greensburg
this morning, and the body will also be shipped
to that point. Boards relatives, near Greens
burg were notified of the sad occurrence. Beard
had made no threats of suicide and seemed anx-
ious to get back to his old home at Let's Corner,
thinking it would benefit his health.
