that Mrs. Ewing's guilt has not been
proved, and has sent to the Chancellor

widower, some years ago, keeping board
ing house on York street, and had an at
tractive housekeeper. They disagreed
after time; and she commenced proceed
ings against him to recover damages for
breach of promise Ewing was arrested on
capias, but before the time fixed for
the trial came around, he invited the fair
suiter to take q walk with him, conducted
her to Justice Whalen's Office and made
her his wife. The Philadelphia Hotel was
then in Julian's hands. A row afterward
occurred between Julian and his wife. She
said he had made himself too much at
home in one Of the rooms of the female
dodgers. He eventually got into a lunatic
asylum, and his wife went West. Ewing,
took the idle hotel into his hands, and his
wife went there to manage it. Things
went along saiubriously enough until one
night somebody went into the hotel bar
with the story that Mrs. Ewing had been
seen crawling suspiciously up stairs Ew-
ing had step-daughter- pretty, eighteen
year old girl, known as Meta-in his estab-
lishment, and she WIS carrying on a neat
filtration with railroad man, boarding at
the hotel, named Timony. Meta and Mrs.
Ewing were mighty good friends, and so
Mrs Ewing got to knowing Tmony pretty
we'll. When Ewing heard that his wife
was going suspiciously up stairs at an un-
seasonable hour in the night, he concluded
that she was seeking Tnony's room; and
summoning the bell-boys and bar-keeper
he started up to surprise her. Ewing
was pretty full of whiskey and
he didn't quite know the location
of Timony's room. They hammered
at door after door on the upper floor
in the hunt for the wife. When they went
down stairs after the ruitless search Mrs.
Ewing stood at her own door innocantiy
inquiring what all ths row was about.
! Ewing let her know. She met the charge
with denials, but he wouldn't be conyin-
ced. 10 ordered her from the house but
she would not go. He took the keys from

till she went away. month later, to i've
with her sister. Meanwhile he instructed
Counsellor Engelbrecht, on Washington
street, to sue the woman for divorce.
Mrs. Ewing went To ex-J ustice Seymour
and placed her case IN his hands, In heEa
answer, besides denying the charges, SD
declared that her husband was unnecessa
lily intimate with Meta, and charged 9th
fragrant galiantries with other women wi
stopped in the house. These count
charges were not for some reason sustaine
SO that really the only question in the ca
was the one of Mrs. Ewing's guilt A
volume Of testimony was taken, Collins
Corbin assisting Mr. Engelbrecht. Durin
the progress of the hearing Mrs. Ewing's
first child was born. Ewing declared that
it came too long afr II tke severance OF his
relations with his wife to be legitimate, buty
she submitted testimony against that claim,
and the babe is said to be the very pictured
of her husband, though on account OF its
sex it cannot be called Daniel. The ADJ
visory Master was, mot convinced, either b
the baby or by the Timony episode, of Mra
Ewings guilt, and he held the charge
against her unsustained.
