A Fickfe ST. Louisan Deserts His
Wife and Weds Another.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 27.-MichaeI Boland,
the husband Of q st. Lois wife and the
father of twelve st. Louis children, has
been located at Bright Star, Ark,
spending second honeymoon with a
sixteen-year-old bride. Several months
ago Boland, who IS laborer. left this
city to 90 to Bright Star and work OH
the levee. Shortly after his arrival
there his wife ceased to hear from him,
and about three weeks ago she received
q letter from a man signing himself
Brown. and claiming to be sheriff, say
ing that her husband had got into
quarrel while in a. skiff on the Arkan
sas river and was killed. She did
rot think OF doubling the letter and put
in claim Of $50 insurance on his life,
carried in the Prudential company. The
company proceeded to investigate, and,
strange to say, letter written there
brought another from Sheriff Brown
saying that Boland had been knocked
out Of the skitf and floated down stream,
where he was picked up by steamer
and taken to New Orleans, dying there
in the hospital. The New Orleans au-
thOrities were communicated with.
They replied that no such patient had
been received there at any time. The
wife's suspicious were aroused, and she
called on the st. Louis police, who be-
gan a search for the truant spouse.
They finally located him at Bright Star,
from which place he had never depart
ed. basking in the smiles of young
bride. Mrs. Boland will sue for di-
vorce, and the old man will be prose-
cuted for bigamy.

IN DEEPEST DEPRAVITY.
Sequel TO Tale of Murder and
Insanity on the Flats.


Insanity on the Flats.
Six years ago the Levinski family lived
in one of the neateSt and best of all the
shanties on the upper leyee flats. They
were well-to-do Polanders, and it was a
happy household. Old John Levinski
worked as laborer about the city, and
his only grown-up son followed the
river for living. The miSf0rtuneS- be-
gan when the son got into trouble
with Tom l.au on a fiatbOat, and was
rolled into the river and drowned near
the Sibiey street landing. Lau was
tried for murder and acquitted. Re-
solving to avenge the supposed crime,
old LevinSki procured shotgun and
shot Lau dead a few days after his re-
lease from custody. The old man was
arrested, indicted and tried. but was
finally acquitted by jury on the ground
of insanity, and is now at st. Peter.
His wife, Mary, after losing the
small income of both son and husband.
Slaved away for several months and
earnestly tried to keep her little brood
from starvation. 1t was hard strug--
gle, however, in which she failed, and
before long, drunken, tOttering old
Mary LevinSki was a familiar figure
around the low saloons on the flats. She
took up with a drunken old fellow
named Schmidt, and her conduct be-
came So disgraceful that the
Humane society last spring sent
all of her husbands children
out to the poOrhOuse. She has given
birth to three children since living with
Schmidt, of which the last put IN an APP
pearance less than two weeks ago. For
the past three days the woman and her
paramOur have been on roaring drunk.
The dcbauch wound up last night With
brutal fight over the babe. The man
came out victorious and rushed up onto
the bluff with the child, which he left
lying upon the sidewalk. over mile
from their shanty, after which he
return ed to the flats TO resume the
fight. Things were just getting inter-
esting when Special Policeman Baer
dropped in on them and hustled the
disorderly pair up to the Central police
station, where the woman is frequent
lOdger. About an hour afterwards
little girl found the child upon the side
walk, and took it to the station. Old
Mary'S story is sad one, and her later
life has been full of trials and tribu-
lation, with an accent on the trials, as
the police judge will testify.

Robert Ray Hamilton's Wife
Doesn't Want to Be Divorced.

NEW YORK Dec. 27.-Mrs. Evangeline
L. Hamilton to-day filed her answer to
Robert Ray Hamilton's complaint in a
suit for an annullment of their mar
riage. The answer is general denial
of most of the assertions in the COM
plant. She says her husband never
told her of his intention to have their
marriage annulled, and asserts that she
had not been married prior to the time
she married MIR. Hamilton. AS sepa-
rate defense she says that she and her
husband have maintained the relations
of man and wife for the past four years,
and that he caused her to be recognized
and treated as his wife by the public up
to the time of the commencement of his
suit. The verification of the answer
was taken by A. Judson Rice, master
III chancery.

The Sad Sequel of a Secret Mar
riage.


BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 27.-A mar
riage which took place under somewhat
romantic circumstances in this city, two
years ago, mas just been made public by
friends of the bride, who has been de-
serted by her husband. On July 2S,
1887, Robert e. Cumming, of Fredonia.
aud Julia Louise Kennedy, of South
Dayton. were married here by Rev.
Henry Ward. At the time of the we'd
ding Mr.. Cumming was nineteen years
of age and his bride eighteen. He
graduated from Cornell university last
summer and has been practicing law at
Ithaca. After considerable urging OIL
the part of his bride he recently agreed
to meet her here and announce their re-
latlons as man and wife, to-day being
set as the time of announcement. Mon-
day last she received a letter from MIR.
Cumming. written at New York, in
which he said he wished to have no
more TO do with the matter, and should
avoid any more complication by going
to Mexico. Mrs. Cummings friends
then decided upon making the marriage
known.
