Farber, This County.

The st. Eouis o;lr-Chronicle
tells the following sad story:
With the burial Saturday Of lit
tie Harry Martin, who was
drowned iu the Ohio river at Gin.
cinnati, Aug. &c, closes the third
chapter Of sad story which in
wolves the boy in the marital mis-
cries of the father and mother.
Last April, as charged by Albert
Martin, a stableman of 1417 North
Market street, his wife ran away
to Cincinnati with another man.
The couple took little Harry Mar
tin along, He is merely an adopted
son Of the Martins, but MIR. Mar
tin loved the boy very dearly, and
ever since the disappearance and
up to the news of the drowning of
the lad, searched many places for
him.
The body was not recovered for
four days after the drowning, aud
then the mother brought it to st.
Louis. The man with whom she
ran away had disappeared in the
meantime and the woman took the
body to Martins room over the
stable on North Market street.
After keeping it there one day,
the father grieving over it, the
mother had it shipped to Farber,
Mo-, near her old home, and there
with only herself as mourner, the
funeral of the boy was held.
The couple did not speak to
each other, it is said, when the
mother brought home the dead
son, and their relationship is said
to be just as strained. The boy
was drowned while swimming with
some other boys, the death being
accidental.
