The woman who caused such sensa
tion in Jericho about three weeks ago by
leaving her second husband 10 again live
with her first matr imouial partner, and
later left the latter suddenly, has again
appeared on the scene and mas now de-
serted Joseph Goodness, husband No. ],
to again live with George Wood, husband
No. 2 at Washington. When she SO sud
denly disappeared from the Goodness
homo at jericho she went TO North Scitu-
ate, where her mother resides, aud where
she probably thought she would be safe
from the attentions OF either OF her hus-
bands, but i'm this she was disappointed
for her hiding place was soon discovered
and she began To receive visits from both
OF her matrimonial partners, neither OF
whom seemed discouraged by her seem
ing coldness. Husband number two was
the most persistent in his attentions
and finally won back her heart, and she
decided to return, bag and baggage,
to his home i'm Washington. The prop
erty which she had removed from the
Washington home at the time she deserted
it was still at jericho. and at first she
was much puzzled as to how she would
gain possession OF II, and move IL back
to Washington without exciting her hus
bands suspicious Duo she finally hit upon
n scheme, and it worked to perfection.
Yesterday she visited the Jericho home
and told Goodness that she wanted to re-
move the goods To her mothers home for
the present, and succeeded in conyinc-
ing him that they would bs much safer
there than in Jericho for the present A
team whs procured and the goods were
loaded into it, but instead OF going to
Scituate the driver started for Washing
ton. Then Goodness suspicious were
aroused and no hurried to the residence of
friend who harncssed his horse and ar
rived at the Wool home in Washington
just in time To 500 the rival husband in
his shirt sleeves helping to unload the
goods and the wife standing in the door
directing their disposition. She did not
seem to know husband number one at
all, and now he is keeping bachelors
hall and trying to devise some scheme by
which he can regain the woman ana he re-
yenged on his rival.
Today worKmen were engaged in ex-
cAvating a cellar for j. B. DennoIre's

car which leaves Clyde for Washington at
s o'clock had just arrived at the place
when a blast was fired in the excavation
and number Of large stones flew out of
the cellar and crashed through the win
dows of the car. Motorman Burlingame,
who was standing at his place on the
front platform, had a narrow escape from
serious injury, as a stone nearly rs large
as a mans head flew past him, grazing his
shoulder, and crashed through the win
dow OF the car, scattering broken glass in
all directions. Another stone crashed
through one OF the side windows, but be-
yonc breaking the glass fortunately did
no damage. There were three passengers
in the car at the time; fortunately they
escaped injury.
