sou was given In Eighth Street Park
yesterday afternoon ut o'clock. The
estimated number in Attendance was
from 5000 to 1000 The Eighth street

capacity to take people out to the

from the ground. The music was
furnished by an orchestra composed
OF about forty players from all the
musical organizations in the city, the

Some time ago a young, hard
working and Industrious mechanic
came TO this city from New York State,
and secured employment. He formed
the acquaintance OF a young girl. and
mutual attachment was formed be-
tween them. As she was but 10 years
OF age, and the couple were fearful
that her parents would object to q
marriage, they slipped off to Camden,
N. j., and were Joined In wedlock's
holy bonds. When they returned, and
her parents learned that she was mar.
ried, they insisted on their living
apart for at least two years on account
OF her age.
The young husband, who was de.
votedly attached to his wife. agreed 10
this, with the understanding that she
was to regard herself as his wife and
not go into other company. She has,
however, proved untrue to her VOWS,
and for several weeks has been keep
ing company with man aged about
80 years. who Is boarder at her
fathers house. This morning they
were seen to return to this city on q
train over the Ii. ~ o. railroad, after
having. gone away yesterday. and
spent the night in some other city.
1t is said that this Is not the first
time the unfaithful wife has been away
IN this manner, and the almost heart
broken husband intends to secure q
divorce as soon rs possible. lie is un-
der the impression that heg parents
are coXnizant other actions, as he says
he cannot understand why, when thay
objected to her living with him, hel
lawful husband, they do not stop hel
from going away with another mai
and remaining until the next day. III,
names OF the parties are withheld FOL
the present. on account OF the has
