AN OLD SENSATION.
1t Bobs Up in Court in the Shape
of a Divorce Suit

Some time ago East side society cir
cles were all torn up over the marriage
of Mrs. Hattie NJ. Wensinger, a lady
well known to all the old residents here,
to a gentleman who went by the name
of Joseph Matthews. The marriage was
contracted under somewhat peculiar
circumstances, and was a nine days
wonder. Soon after the couple were
married and had departed on their
wedding trip, ugly rumors to
the effect that the gentleman
already had wife and children
in the East were started. When Mrs.
Matthews came home from her trip
alone and took up her abode at her old
home the gosSiperS found something
new to talk about, as it was considered
strange that Mr.. Matthews did not put
in an appearance. But the climax was
reached yesterday when Mrs. Matthews
began an action in the district court
asking for a divorce from her husband,
Orville c. Matthews. In her COM
plant, Mrs. Matthews states that at
the time of her marriage the
defendant had wife living
from whom he had never been divorced.
This wife now resides at Meadville, Pa.
Mrs. Matthews further states that
Matthews married her in this city No.
vember 10, 1887, under the assumed
name Of Joseph Matthews. his true
name being Oryille G. Matthews. She
asks for an absolute divorce and an Or
der of the court allowing her to resume
her former name, Hattie NJ. Wensinger.

The Valiant Sons OF Veterans Are
in Arms.


There were thirteen persons present
at the meeting held by the Sons of Vet
Grams last evening at the Windsor hotel
for the purpose of organizing Sons of
Veterans Harrison, Morton and Eye
club. d. II. Young called the meeting
to order and urged the other twelve to
do all in their power during the coming
campaign to down the Confederate sol
dierS who compose the Democratic party
and who are trying to win with
the ballot what they lost at the point of
the bayonet. After reading this eXhil-
arating speech he wiped his brow and
proceeded to read a bloody shirt docu-
ment, which he called a constitution for
the club about to be formed. This doc
ument which had been written with a
typewriter, referred to a speech made
by Bradley Johnson some years ago
and called on all the relatives of the
old soldiers to vote for Harrison and
thereby save the country for which so
much blood had been shed during the
war. A motion to adopt this document
as the constitution of the club was then
carried, and the following officers were
elected: j. S. Trip, president: l.. S.
Noracon. first vice president; w. G.
Marston, second vice president;
D. II. Young, secretary; executive
committee, a. P. Courtney, j. S.
Gamble, E. NJ. Van Cleve, Ace P. Abel
and j. E. Plummer. The club then ad-
iourned to meet at the same place next
Saturday evening, when speeches will
be made by local speakers.

Company A held largely attended
meeting at the armory last evening to
consider the best course to pursue in
the matter of the trouble at the recent
encampment. General dissatisfaction
was manifested with the methods pur-
sued in reference to the company.
No definite action was taken, the matter
being laid over for short time. The
general opinion of the members was
that unless something should arise very
soon to change their determination the
company would withdraw from the
state service and form an independent
organization. The members were to
man in favor Of maintaining the
organization, but not as part of the First
regiment under the present regime.
Company A has received considerable
encouragement since the matter of sep
arate organization was brought up
from persons who would like to see an
independent battalion IN Minneapolis.
Another meeting will soon be held, and
the matter will be definitely decided.
A number of points were made at the
