The Wanderers Return.

Twenty-Five years ago boy liv-
ing in a New England village was
sent for Il pint of milk.
He hid
The can
Beneath
A stone
Directed
His course
To the
Nearest wharf
Shipped as
Cabin boy,
And went to
sea.
Years passed by. In far away
and foreign country he lived, and
by we'll directed energy amassed
fortune.
The other day he returned.
He stood again in his native vii
lage.
He found the can where he had
hid it.
He procured pint of milk.
He went to his old familiar boy
hoods home, entered, and in hes
itating and trembling voice said:
"Father and mother, here's your
milk"
He was given a warm welcome,
but he noticed there was a change
in his parents appearance; they
had not the old familiar look.
He questioned them; eXplana-
tions followed.
Shortly after his sudden and
mysterious departure from home
his father died, and his mother
married again. Then his mother
died, and his new father married
again.
Thus on his return the wander
ing boy found the dear old home as
he had left it, the only difference
being that he had new father and
mother.
Verify, truth is stranger than fic-
ton.

TIRED OF TRAMPING ABOUT,
Mrs. Frank r.. Ward Tells Her Marital
Woes, to Get Divorce.

The testimony taken in the divorce case
of Rose FL. Ward against Frank r. Ward was
filed yesterday. Mrs. Ward is the daughter
of John Heskett, the commission and stock
dealer of Denniston avenue, East End, She
was married, it was stated, September 2, 1885,
at Coshocton, o. The couple came to Pitts
burg about four years ago. Her husband
was in the same business as her father, and
for a time was in business with him The
firm was Heskett & Hamilton. July 8, 1889,
Ward went away, saying he was going to
Washington, Pa, and would be back the
next day or so. Several days later
his wife got letter from him
dated at Cincinnati, telling her to 90 to
Thornton, Ind, the home of his parents, by
August l. She started, but heard that he
had gone away with Sadie r. Martin. She
then went to Milwaukee, where she had
heard he was. The Chief of Police assisting
her, Ward was found. He denied tnat he
had left with Sadie Martin and promised to
return to Thornton, Ind. Tickets were pur-
chased and the two started. At Chicago
and left the car. He disappeared and Mrs
Ward went home alone. Mrs. Ward after
ward had the stories about the Martin girl
confirmed and had nothing further to do
with Ward.
At the hearing an affidavit from the Martin
girl was submitted stating that she had been
In the habit of going to the Brill House on
Center avenue, twice a week with Ward
and that when he went away she followed
him by arrangements and they travelled about
as man and wife. Mrs. Ward only saw her
husband once afterward, in February, 1890
and then for only few minutes.

AN ANIMATED TINE

Expected at To-Morrow's Meeting of the
Republican County Committee-what
Some of the Politicians Have to Say Of
Affairs-Both Sides Given.
1t seems to be q foregone conclusion that
the meeting of the Republican County Com
mittee tomorrow will be pregnant with
something out OF the ordinary way, and
most people, if they agree on nothing else,
unite in saying they expect it to be highly
| animated.
Ex-Judge Fetterman says that as soon as
| Senator Neeb's resolution Is acted upon and
| the matter of nominating District Attor-
ney disposed of the question of the Judiciary
will come up. Mr.. Fetterman said yester-
day he still finds pretty general sentiment
among the voters, both Republican and
Democratic, antagonistic to the Gubernato-
rial selection, and should there be much
of controversy in the committee meet
Republican ticket for the Judiciary.
He also said it seemed to be understood that
cratic colleagues will contend for the in
dorsement of the Governors appointees, but
if they do there will be lively time ahead
and some people put into the position of
setting aside an office belonging to the Re-
publican party and giving it to a Democrat
Attorney Henry Meyer, in answer to the
inquiry as to whether there was the luke
warmness in the Democratic party claimed
by some Democrats as well as by some Re
publicans, said he had failed to notice it, He
said he regarded the Governors appointees
all well qualified for the positions, and
though, perhaps, not entirely satisfactory to
all Democrats, as much so as any other three
men who could have been named.
EX-Postmaster J. b. Larkin was of the
same opinion, and said that while it would
have been impossible for the Governor to
have satisfied everyone, he thought the Sc
lection ought to be indorsed. Turning to
that all-round Democrat-at-large, represent
ing both city and country, Squire Herman
Handel, Mr.. Larlin asked for an indorse-
ment of his views. The Squire said he
hadn't noted any great disaffection, but
his cigar had grown short, and he evidently
had no other handy, and wanted to utilize
the whole of the weed, and this monopolized
the greater part of his energy. The Squire
was not particularly talkative at that junct-
ure.
Attorney F. NJ Magee said he thought Mr..
Fetterman was making a mistake, and
thought the matter of nominating a Judi
ciary should be managed as 1t was prior to
1873, when politicians consulted the wishes
of the bar, and thereby secured judges
whose nomination aroused no antagonism.
For this reason Mr.. Magee expressed himself
in favor of allowing the present arrangement
TO stand, and that the Governors selections
be ratified.
Alderman P B. Reilly still holds to his
first view, and thinks Judge Kennedy, the
representative of the Democratic party,
will be strong, even If O straight Republican
ticket be nominated, as he (Mr. Reilly)
thinks there are enough conservative Re-
publicans whose friendship for the Gov
nedy in any event, and that they will regard
1t as point of honor to do So He SAYS he
does not hear much discussion of the Ques-
tion of late among Democrats.
