Moore, formerly managing editor OF the
81. Louis POST DiWdtch, and Mrs. John w.
Norton. wife Of the well known theatrical
manager, with whom Moore eloped, have
parted. When Moore left st. Louis with
Mrs. Norton he did 1t under the idea that
as he had caused the woman's downfall it
was his duty to stand by her. Besides he
was madly in love with her, though aware
that he was not the first man to lead Mrs.
Norton astray. Both expected divorces
would set them free, and then thoy were
to be married. Moore's first rude awak.
ening was in last September. On Sa,ur-
day evening, the 22d, he came home
from his office early in the evening,
10 o'clock, though he usually did
not return until 2 o'clock. They were
then living in furnished apartments in
Forty fifth street. When Moore came
home he found the pa rlois locked Moore
waited until nearly $50 ain, when car.
riagc drove up and stopped nearly a block
away. Mrs. Norton allghted aud the car
riagc disappeared. There was man in it,.
Moore found that Mrs. Norton had been
drinking heavily Of champagne. lie got

sued. In the morning when her senses
were restored, he tod her lac should leave
her. The woman pleaded innocence,
claimed she had been at u Mrs. CIi.Iori's,
aud that IL was Mrs. ClilOrds brothcr-in-

rant, where there are private rooms. On
the back Of the card WAS written in pencil:

Moore could not credit Mrs. N0rton's
explanation about this card, aud later
learned that she had spent tho evening
with q steamboat clerk, with whom she
had been keeping mp secret cpffcspon.
dcncc 4 reconciliation was patched up
aud Moore and Mrt Norton took fiat

a circuitous route. Tho officers walked
beside King in an easy and natural man.
nor and succeeded in getting him into tho
station without attracting any attention.
In number OF particulars King answers
the description given of him by Woodruff.
When Woodruff, alias Back, first told
his story he gave all the since oft-repea,od
particulars us TO how he met King and
was engaged TO take part in the tragedy OF
tho trunk. II is a mystery why King has
not been arrested before, though ut no
time has he apparently manifested any
desire 10 leave the city, w II is understood
from the police. The arrest has been
kept secret, as II is desired TO confront
Woodruff with King When brought to.
gcther the men may indulge in mutual
accusations that will be OF value. King
was the husband of u oourtcsan who died
not long ago, and has associated with the
criminal rquasi-crimina classes for years,
1t Is said. II has been beloved for some
timc that while Woodruff may have told
the truth In suUe respects, he also made
misleading statements, In this conncC-
ton It Is significant that in important de-
tails the description of King is defective.

The fermentation produced in India
by putting the new wine of western
ideas Alto the old bottles of Hindoo
tradition is producing many surpris-
ing results. But the process must have
gone on very rapidly to admit of de
yOut HindoO, of high caste and posi-
ton, freely criticisirg the sacred city
of Benares. He stigmatizes it as 'one
of the worst places on earth" and as
"a sink of corruption, both moral and
physical" True enough, no doubt !;
though fair seeming from the river,
with its temples and bathing ghauts
and palaces, Benares is unquestionabiy
an exceedingly dirty and unsavory
town. Nor are the bulk of the inhabi-
tants superior to their surroundings,
If common report may be believed.
But In none of these respects has there
been any change; what the holy city
now is, it has been from time whereof
the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary. The only difference is
that its denominations have become
palpable to the classes" owing to
their having come into contact with
western civilization. They refuse any
longer to believe that, because a city
bears sacred reputation, it should be
privileged to set the laws of health,
moral and physical, at defiance. But
this independence of criticism is only
found among Hindoos at distance.
The residents still set their faces
against change. Benares is, they main
tain, unimprovable by mortals, being
of divine origin, and they wait pa
tiently for some hygienic Avatar to
cleanse its Augean stables. AS for
King Cholera, what matter his visits
to people privileged by their very
citizenship alone to pass the stern por-
tails into the new and happy life2-
