VENGEANCE ON THIS MAN.
But For the Faith!ess Wife Love Yet
Lives, Writhing. Anguished.
Especial to News and Observer !

Norfolk, Va, April S.-Capt Charles c.
Sparks, of the barge Cathleen, engaged IN
hauling timber from winthrop, n. c., to
Belhaven, n. c., but whose home Is in
Berkley, has arrived here from North
Carolina, bringing to the police authorl-
ties a sad story of woman's frallty and
a husbands love betrayed. He came to
seek the aid of the law in bringing TO
justice Lewis Tucker who, he alleges, has
left a young family in Petersburg and
fed with his (SparksD wife, but the au
thorities here say the case is beyond their
jurisdiction.
This is the bitterly sad story the heart
broken man told:
Nine years ago, at the age of thirty-six
ne was married in Camden, N. j., to the
one woman of his love- No children
blessed their union, and one year after
she became his bride, Mrs. Sparks sus-
tained an injury from a fall that threat
ened to make her a lifelong invalid.
Imagine. then, the husbands joy, when
after spending large sums in the faint
hope of giving her relief, the wife, Katie,
just before last Christmas suddenly re-
gained her strength and bloomed out into
her old time blithe and healthy beauty.
1t was about this time, however, thai
Captain Sparks was obliged to leave Berk-
ley, where they were then living for
North Carolina. The fact that Lewis
Tucker, who ran as a fireman on the road
from Norfolk to Edenton, boarded just
across the street from his wife, gave him
no concern whatever; but early in March
| he became 50 lonely in Winthrop that he
yielded TO the yearning of his soul and
wrote begging her to come to him,
To this she replied that she did not
wish to break up her hcme Then came
anonymous letters instifiing poison into
the husbands heart. AS a result lie came
TO Berkley and took Katie away with
him to Carolina.
She then proposed a visit to her people
in New Jersey. He consented and sine
left, but he now declares thai she has
never arrived at her peoples home He says
furthermore, that he has abundant evi-
dence to show that the infatuated woman
met Tucker on her way to Norfolk and
that the guilty lovers fed northward, pre-
sumably to Philadelphia, together
Such is the story Of this haggard
agonized man who swears vengeance
against the despoiler oil his home, but
whose weary eyes grow wet and whose
strong lips tremble when he speaks in
sad and broken tones Of the woman who
has betrayed him.

Culoerson, who introduced an amendment
reducing the rental of the machines. In
the course of the debate that followed
the Democratic Senators charged that
the rental now paid was the same that
was paid under the contracts made by
George w. Beavers, when he was chief
of the Salary and Allowance division OF

which the Beavers contract for the ma
chimes were denounced, and saying that
notwithstanding this denunciation the
contracts were continued "Mr. Bristow,
said Mr.. Clay, tells us that kwe pay 200
per cent. of these machines each year, and
see no reason for continuing the Beav-
ers arrangement.
Unless they want to vindicate him,

Mr. Scott expressed the opinion that it
