Arehihald Mavo. reDresenting the Ierenso. The tragedy which O'Brien endeavored to enact one Saturday night, when he shot his wife and theu tried to kill himself, is too re cent to need repetition in these columns. It is a well known story Suffice it to say that O'Brien not onlv failed to kill his wife, but re covered from the wound that he had inflicted unon himseif, and by his Tash act he severed the conjugal relations that had held him and his wife iu union, and the result is this suit for divorce and alimony which has been instituted against him.

The wife asks for a separation from her husband and alimony. She has had all of her husband's property tied up so that he cannot dispose of it, until the court decide-upon the ca3e. Mrs. O'Brien seems to have a good foundation for her case, as she is in mortal terror of ever living with her husband again, and as 6he is pressing her suit, she will probably be successful.

HOW IT IS COHMUNICABLE. Not Contagious iu the Ordinary Acceplat ion or the Term, So Far as Unman Beings are Concerned, But Contagious Only Through luuoculatiou Whas Sort of a Condition the Horrible l)ispsis Vn Run in lo, Wheu It is That it Is Disease Worth Steering Clear of, the Following Bit of Personal F.xperl-ence Will Bear Evidence "That horse with the glanders which was shot in the city park on Thursday," said Dr. D. V.

Grace to a party of friends in the Warner House last evening, is creating not a little comment and some alarm, among horsemen who know how dangerous the disease is. Although the disease is somewhat rare in this locality, it is, nevertheless to be feared when present. i recall an experience with this malady some twenty-five years ago, when I was traveling through the country, lecturing on the ills and ailments which horse flesh is heir to. I discoursed one afternoon In a little town in Kentucky, and spoke. of the disease as being quite uncommon, but very dangerous.

An old farmer who was one of my called on me after the lecture, and stated that several of his horses were in pretty bad shape, and he would pay my bill if I would come out and examine them. "We rode out to the farm without delay. He had five horses in one pasture field, the worst looking lot of animals I ever saw toirether. Everyone cf them was sick with the glanders, and in the last stages. He told me he had three more horses in the stable, sick with the same disease.

And, sure enough, he had. I told him the onlv thins; to do was shoot the equines, and prevent a spread of the disease. 'Maybe you can tell rr.e what is the matter with my stable said the old farmer to me, 'he it sick, Well, I explained to ti far ner that my profession was as a veterinarian not as a physician, but he insisted that I see the boy, who wassick in acabin nearby. never saw a human being iu such a condition. His body, from head to foot, was covered with virulent ulcers.

He begged to be shot, for, he claimed, the agony seemed simply' unendurable. "The trouble with that poor mortal was all but too apparent. He had contracted the horrible ailment from thediseased 'How did he get it?" asked the doctor, repeating the same question he had been asked by one of bis hearers. 'Why, by direct was his reply. "You see, he had been working with these animals, and possibly the poison bad been taken into his system, from a cat or sore on his hand coming iu contact with an ulcer upon one of the horses.

Any how, the poor fellow bad contracted the malady, and died from it shortly afterward. "And yet agaiu I have known a horse sick with this disease to be in a livery stable, surrounded by other! equines for a month, and they did not become diseased. Therefore, I regard the trouble as a contagious one, but oue which can only b8 contracted by direct inoculation." Talented and Good Looking. F. S.

Mr. Monett is. a practicing attorney at Bucyrus, who lias long since won his spurs, and enjoys quite a reputation in his profession in that portion of the state. He is a candidate for attorney general, and it is claimed will go into the convention with a strong showing, and one in which the votes will not be confined entirely to his own section. He is a pleasant, agreeable gentleman who will make friends wherever he is introduced.

Chillicotheans generally regret that his stay here did not last longer, and will be glad to see him again. The Blosser Flour.

LIVING PICTURES IN COURT.

The Young Woman From Deerfleld Township Who Had a Hard Time Finding the Right Man. But Who Finally Landed Him First She Sues Kr Breaoh of Promise, and Then She Brings an Action For a Paternity Charge The Jury Finds For Her aud the Defendant Becomes One of Sheriff Warner's PH. vale Boarders. The case of Josephine Johns against Dudley Corkwell was a peculiar one. It was peculiar in that the plaintiff sought to fasten the paternity of her child upon two differ ent young men, at different times Iu the court.

The plaintiff i a couielv- vounr woman, whose homo i up near Clarksburg, and she came to grief through misplaced confidence In a man some time iu August, of 1893. Her first choice for a defendant to an action in court was Pleasant Hays, a young school teacher, who unceremoniously left for California, shortly after he learned that something of the kind wan brewing. Hays having left this section, the fair Josphine cast about for another defendant and awn settled upon Dudley Corkwpll.a youug man, who had been an associate of Hays. She first brought an action breach or promise in the Court of Common Pleas of Pickaway county, and she succee(d iu getting a judgment for $300 there. She then pursued hr action, on a paternity charge, in the Court of Common Pleas of this county.

The cae opened yesterday morning, end was attended by some very amusing incidents. The defense was based iucipally on the fact that the plaintiff had been uauble to decide who the defendant to her action should be, and wheu General Entrekin, who was conducting the defense, seemed to doubt whether or uot the child iu the case was fathered by Corkwell, the defenlaut, the young woman adopted a novel, yet effective way of demonstrating the fact to the jury. She arose from the witness stand, and going into the ante room, brought the little one into the court room, and soatiug it on her lap, she proceeded to point out its physiognomical characteristics, and compare them with those of the defendaut, who also s.it In fall view of the jury. Th result was thit the General was stumped, and he told the young woman that that would do, and he illowej her to go. Tae jury was given the case about five o'clock iu the eveuing aud after taking siveu ballots arrived at a verdict about eleven o'clock, finding for the plaintiff.

Judge Douglas a-sessed Corkwell' fine at 00, and placed the costs of tfte suit agiimt him. Corkwell' parents are wealthy, but the young man went to ul, and does not seem to care to sttle the costs or the fine, preferring to wait until he is tamed out by the commissioners.
