REAPlNG A WHIRLW
II, =. Bottoms second wife Invoke,
the Aid of the Inv.

One OF the sensations in embryo re-
ferred to in these columns a week or
so ago, has developed with the sud
denness of a cyclone. H. s. Bolton,
until recently one Of this cltys prom
inent merchants and liverymen, has
sowed 10 the winds and he is now reap
ing wnirlwind.
wife No. has had a warrant Is.
sued for his arrest and in her infOr-
nation, on file at Alderman Jones' Of
flee, she alleges that he has deserted
his wife and child, leaving their with
out any means of support, and that he
is now living in adultery with one Win
mic Finnegan, contrary to the act OF
assembly and the welfare of the COM
monwealth.
Bolton was locked UP Thus sday af-
ternOon by Constable Neary, but Mayor
O'Neill ordered the janitor to release
him and he returned to Scranton. Mrs.
Bolton became lenient and decided not
TO press the charge, but last night. up
on hearing that he intended paying her
a temporary visit only, she concluded It
will be better to have the interference
of the law in case he attempts TO
leave again.
Some of Bottoms friends dAny that
he has left his wife unprovidei ccr aud
say he left a credit of $500 at a grocery
store for his farily's support.
He had $2,70o when he left che city,
having sold his livery interest 10 his
partner for that amount. His wife
fears that If something isn't done soon
little of il will be left.
Bolton, it is alleged, has a divorced
wife and a son in Honesdale. The out
come of this domestic difficulty Will
he watched with interest.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
The Young Mems Organization May
Asain BecOme Active.

The prospects for the reorganization
of a Young Mems Christian association
in this city are brighter than they have
been at any time since the doors of the
old institution were clased. The recent
proposition to turn over the money in
the hands of the board of trustees to
the hospital was the means of awaken"
ing a new interest in the matter and
tie voting down Of the scheme is proof
of an existing belief that the associa-
ton will one day arise phOeniX-liHe
from it's ashes.
This dormant sentiment is taking on
activity and may he expected to crys-
talize into a definite form and purpose
at any time. The projectors will very
wisely attempt only a modest begin
ring l. is probable that the opening
weGge will he made simply in the form
of a public reading room. This was
the most popular department of the
old institution. 1t probably accom-
plished the greatest good, making a
pleasant and profitable place for young
men to spend their evening hours and
one in which they felt that they We're
welcome Such a venture could be
carried on with n very reasonable out
lay and il is possible that ii will be
undertaken soon. The city clergymen
and the Ladies' auxiliary have already
been considering the matter.

good. The members of the team are
selling the tickets and they hope to dis
pose of three hundred Of them if pos
sihle.
The efforts to raise money to support
the team have brought forth several
schemes. Tn" latest plan is the forma-
tion Of q stock company. Several men
who are advocating this plan and are
willing to put their money up have
taken hold of il and there is a pos
sibility that the company will be organ

best in this section of the state.
