Dicorced.-A special dispatch to
the Baltimore American from Gettss
burg, Pa, March 18th, gives at some
length an account of an alleged mar
riage June =, 1855, of Rev. w. II.
,)ordy, of this place, and Miss Flora
Belle Hafer, Of Adams county, Pa. In
short, it is stated that the parties were
married under assumed dnames-George
Carnes and Flora Vernald. They at
once separated, he returning to the
Theological Seminary at Gettysburg,
where he was student, and she to her
home. They neverlived together. The
main allegation IN the American's story
is that Mr.. Jordy secured the marriage
by series of deceits and afterward
proved faithless, his conduct latterly
precipitating the proceedings which
aave Just eded at Gettysburg in de-
cree of absolute divorce.
The JOURNAL saw Mr.. Jordy Thurs
day evening with reference to the
American's dispatch. He responded
with great readiness and good humor,
stating that the dispatch was admitted
ly one sided story of the affair. At
the same time he did not think it
| judicious just now to correct erroneous
statements concerning an occurrence
which took place before he was or
dained, and which had been exhaust,
lively examined and ventilated by a
committee of the Western Pennsyl-
vania Synod of the Lutheran church

trouble was over, and he hoped now

had grown out of what was at the
worst a youthful joke.

turbed by the discussion of his trouble,
