THE SENSATION Of SCRANTON.


Z. 1. Irving Causes the Arrest OF His wife
and Her So Called Brother.
On Monday, February 18th, Sheriff X.
j. Loughridge, accompanied by Capt G.
Thriving, of New Venice, left here armed
with n warrant and requisition for the
arrest and return of Capt. Irying's wife
and reputed brother, DIR. Chas. lakewood,
alias G. Q. Wood, on a charge Of obtain
ing money under false pretenses. The
requisition was honored by the governor
of Missouri, and the papers were placed
in the hands of Sheriff Thomas, OF New
ton county, who executed the same by
taking into custody the parties called
for at a mining town named Neosho,
where the couple lived in q suite of
rooms in the rear of a small Office. The
prisoners We're turned over by Sheriff
Thomas to Sheriff Loughridge, who
brought the alleged criminals to this
place and incarcerated them in the
county Jail at noon on Sunday last.
Something over q year ago Capt. Irving
opened correspondence with his present
wife through a matrimonial bureau,
which eventually led to their meeting at
Sulphur Springs, Ark. Subsequent de.
velopments showed that neither had
any fear of again launching their barks
on the matrimonial sea, for We next find
Capt. Irving and his intended wife on
their way to Scranton, the home of Capt
Irving. The marriage settlements being
mutually agreeable and tbeftinanoial
assets of each being satisfactory. to the
other they repaired to Mobile, where
they were joined together in the holy
bonds of wedlock by the Rev. j. j. Bur
kett. After the ceremony the happy
couple came here to spend their honey
moon at Point o. Pines, and for a time al
went merry as the song birds In thu
woods. The matter is now in the cour
in the shape of a case for obtaining
money under false pretenses and to fol
low bigamy.
