ROMANTIC.
A Man Who Regained His Wife,
Lost During The Civil War.

James Davis, who lived in
Glenhead, S. with his six
months bride when the war
broke out, enlisted in the Ellis
worth Zouaves. He was taken
prisoner and confined in Libby
prison for year. During his
absence his wife had been in>
former that he had been killed,
and some years afterward mar>
ried a man named Frederick
Flenming. They went to live
in Bucks county, Pennsylvania.
The first husband, Davis, wa
exchanged in the meantime by
the Confederates for a Union
prisoner. He returned to Glen
head, but could find no one who
knew anything about his wife's
whereabouts. Davis, broken
hearted over his wife's disap-
pearance, joined the Fifty second
New York Volunteers, going
with them to the seat of war.
He was badly wounded in the
battle of Bucklin Mills, S. c.,
and was taken to the plantation
of a rich widow named Parker.
The widow nursed him, and
when he recovered they were
married. After the war they
went to Cleveland, where Mrs.
Davis bought a large leather
plant and put her husband in
charge Of it. The business PROS
pered and they nassed fortune.
Twenty years afterward Mrs.
Davis died and left her husband
all her money.
Last week, says a New York
special, Davis decided to visit
his old home in Glenhead. There
he met an old schoolnate, who
told him that his former wife was
married and living in a cottage
in Glenhead. Davis sought her
out and there was all affecting
scene. He was introduced to his
first wltc's husband, Mr.. Flem~
ming, and their three boys.
When the case was explained to
Mr.. Flen1ming he decided that
Mr.. Davis was entitled to his
wife by right Of priority and
would resign in his favor, more
especially as he was better able
to keep her. Davis, so the story
goes, offered Flernming a good
position in his mills in Cleveland,
which was accepted, and the
whole party started for the West
to-day.-Memphis Sclmitay.

Getting Serious.

In reference to the case, of
Mrs. B. S. Sturman, of Edenton,
who, it will be remem bered, some
days ago figured rather lively
with court officials in this town,
Norfolk and Baltimore, the fol-
lowing telegram is sent out from
Richmond:
Mr.. Carter Scott, Assistant
Acknowledgement, has returned
from Norfolk, where he went to
investigate a case for Governor
O'Ferrall. 1t appears that a
short while back the Governor
of Maryland issued a requisition
On the Governor of North Caro-
lima for woman wanted in Bal
timore to answer the charge of
larceny. The papers were holl>
ored and the prisoner turned over
to a Maryland officer. On his
way home with her she was
taken from him in Norfolk and
arrested on a charge of larcenv
alleged to have been committed
there. 1t appears that the wo-
man S uncle had her arrested and
he bailed her out. She failed to
show up when the case was call ;
ed and the uncle was fined 5000
for aiding in the defeat of the
ends of justice. He will be sued
On the bail bond. The Justice
who issued the warrant and
Judge Hanckel who granted bail,
| knew nothing, it appears, about
the case other than that the Wo
| man had been arrested in Norfolk
for larceny. It is not known
what report Mr.. Scott made. Gov.
iO'Ferrall has heard from the
| Governor of North Carolina
about the matter and he is ex>
ipecting a letter from the Mary
land Executive. 1t is expected
that the Federal authorities will
take hand in the matter, as the
offense is ore against the National
Government.
