LEFT HOME FOR A NEGRESS
Infatuati0n of Oliver II. Hill Makes
Him a Bigamist.
Deserted His Wife and Children
for Leona Locke-A Warrant
Issued for His Arrest.

The police are searching for the husband
also the husband of another woman,
Leona Locke, colored.
Hill is about thirty-five years Of age,
lived at Langdon, and was employed by
the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad up
to a short time ago He deserted his wife
and children about two weeks ago.
His wife suspected that he was living
in Washington with another woman, and
her investigation revealed the fact that
on Aprit he was married to Leona Locke
by Rev. L. j. Mcintosh, pastor of the
Metropolitan Wesley A. n. E. Church, on
ID street Upon pursuing her inquiry fur
ther it was learned that the Locke woman
is negress who for some time has kept a
disorderly house in Louise alley, in South
Washington
When his duplicity was learned, he was
discharged by the railroad company, and
at once left the city.
The Locke woman, Mrs. Hill No. z, when
seen yesterday, said that she did not
know Hill had another wife.
She has an unenviable reputation in
police circles, and Is quite black
Hills infatuation for the woman cannot
be explained by his friends.
His wife will prosecute him for bigamy
should he he captured.
4 few days prior to leaving home Hill
sold nearly all his household furniture and
spent the money upon his wedding with the
colored woman
1t is said that he has fled to Baltimore
Yesterday Mrs. Hill swore out warrant
for his arrest.

The door went 'sslam!" and the poor

ADDRESS TO THE DOCTORS.
President Welch Gives Some Points
About Pathological Processes.

President WEIGH Gives Some Points
About Pathological Processes.
Probably the largest representation
of the congress of American Z hysicians and
Surgeons whicn has assembled in on place
thus far during the triennial session now
convened in this city, met in the Columbia
Theater last night to hear the address of
President William q. Welch
Every seat iii the auditorium was filled
and the crowd oyerflowed into the CALLER
les above.
Before beginning his remarks, DR. Weich
stated 20 the audience that instead of
Compensatory and Protective Processes
as announced in the program, the subject
Of his address would be Adaptation in
Pathological Processes
The speaker maintained that the familiar
process in pathology known as adaptive
or compensatory, whereby the loss of an
organ or part of an organ in living bodies
is often compensated for by the assump-
tion OF its functions by remaining organs Is
sometimes beneficial and Sometimes other
wise
Furthermore when there is q growth
of another organ in order that it may do
the work of a missing part this growth
must be provided for III the physiological
structure Of the cells.
At the conclusion of the address the
assemblage adjourned to the Ladies' par
lors of the Arlington Hotel, where Dr..
Welch was rendered q reception.
The parlors were eXQuisi tely deco
rated with palms, growing plants and cut
flowers The picture was completed by
large number of beautifully gowned
ladies, the wives and daughters of the
members of the congress
The receiving party Were DR.. WEIGH,
his sister, Mrs. Wolcott of Balti-
mere, and the following ladies, wives of
members OF the executive committee Mrs
Landon Carter Gray, of New York; Mrs
George NJ Sternberg, of Washington: Mrs.
william Oslen, OF Baltimore, and Mrs Will
lam H Cornolt, of New haven, Conn. At
10 O'Clock the folding doors leading to
the banquet hall were thrown open and a
buffet lunch was served.

dry goods which was also secured at a
tremendous discount. The two stocks
have been turned into one store, in the
Flavel brick. which from this time until
the close of the sale, will be prominently
the place in Astoria for bargains. There
are no other stocks in Astoria which
have been purchased at such an advan-
tage as these, and this advantage is to
be shared with the customers.
These are hard times, and it pays buy-
ers to figure even on small savings. We
are offering more than you expect, at
lower prices, and just the things that are
necessary TO every household.
Call while the stock is complete, in
order to secure the choicest.
