Mrs. Belle Gilman of Wateryi|Ie.

Waterville Aug. 3.-(SpeciaD.-The
is just a ripple of social excitement over
the suit brought against Mrs. Belle Gil
man, the widow of the late Charles Gil
man of this city.
Monday, July &c, United States
Marshal Burton Smith of Portland.
came to this city and served writ of
attachment on the estate of Mrs. Gill
man, on account of a suit for $50 900
brought by Mrs. Eugene Tufts of Wal
than, Mass. who in her writ alleges
that the said Mrs. Belle Gilman has
alienated the affections of the plaintiff
husband. Eugene Tufts.
Mr.. Tufts is commercial traveller
well-known on the road, representing a
weli-known clothing Ahouse of Boston.
He had been frequent visitor to the
Gilman home before the death of the
late Charles Gilman. and after the
death of that gentleman, the visits
continued to be made. Mrs. Gilman.
who is an attractive woman of 80, be-
came interested in her husbands friend
to the extent that they became fas;
friends. For some time there was ne
comment on the fact that the two peo-
pie were almost constantly in each
others society. whenever the gentle
man was in the city. but at last, ru-
mors of the neglected wife in Massa-
chusetts home began to circulate
among the people who knew the couple
best.
1t should be said in justice to Mrs.
Gilman that she never introduced Mr.
TUFTS to any of her friends as hel
cousin-that was another young man
from Skowhegan, who was really hei
cousin by her marriage to Mr.. Gilman
This second young man was very fond
of Mrs. Gilman but none ever thought
of connecting them in any way in
love affair. nor was there ever such
condition between them.
When Marshal Smith came dowr
here, last week, to serve the papers OF
Mrs. Gilman, the matters came to th
notice of many people but those in
terested in the local parties tried hare
to hush the matter up so that if there
was way to settle the case without
it coming to court. Mr.. Tufts arrived
in the city, last evening. and he cam.
train at that place. He says that h.
believes the ease will be settled out OF
court and intimates that Mrs Tufts
may be offered the sum of $4,000 an
perhaps more to let up on the matter
II is estimated that the estate of tn
late Mr. Gilman is worth $751; 900
