Tht IlaiTOTTinir Recital of Hu band's Alleg-eii Wrongs A Rai Wir WH Talmas Better of 1 and Kftanii to Ber Husband's HeartH, Oakland has been remarkably quiet for several weeks, and there has been an un- definable longing in the breasts of the in habitant thereof fur route eenfiLtiorj, some thing that would give them a topic for conversation, something that while it would be a delicate morsel to roll under their tongues, would barrow one or more hearts with anguish, pain and sorrow, and cause pillows to be moistened with tears wrung from a heart burdened with shame and disgrace. The sensation has come, It is the old, old story of the elopement ef young wife with a trusted friend of the deluded husband.

Oot year aero, on tbe 22J of February last, George W. Stevens, a young man of known integrity, sober and industrious, led to the altar a fait, young bride, who vowed to love and honor him, for better or for worse, until death should rart them. With joyous hearts they started out upon in uDKnown tea, ot matrimony, witn a fair wini and every stitch of canvass set i xor ma nrw rear everything went as smoothly as the most sanguine could ex pect; no family jars occurred to mar their apparently happy life, and George begs to turns: that HEAVEN HAD BKGCN ON EARTH. Shortly after the year had passed a vil lain in the disguise of a friend sought the shelter of this happy little home, situated 814 Thirty-fifth street. George Wr Stephens, the betrayed husband and friend, is the well known mail messenger.

whose duty it is and been to carry the United States mails to and from the post-office and railroad stations. In May last the deceiver began to lay his plans steal away tne attentions ot the yoonr wife, and cast his lascirious eyes and thoughts upon the property of the in who believed him te be a friend and trust ed him ai such. He pretended sickness. and remained in the bouse of the young conpie throughout the dayand took ad vantage of the abfence of the husband to seduce and lead away the wife's affections. Shortly the deluded husband bec-an to notice that man's attentions to his wife WEE FAR TOO NUMEROUS.

He noticed that he would How her about the bouse wherever she went, and on one or twb occasions found them together in a room in a manner that convinced him that all was not right, for his advent invariably caused confusion between them, and a sudden appearance of embarrassment would suffuse their tell-tale faces with blushes. Finally George undertook to remonstrate ith his wife upon 'her conduct and urged ber not to do anything that would bring di crrsce upon either him or herself, but she. braced herself for the ordeal, and calmly told George to attend to bis own business and that there were no grounds any fooiiah fears upon his part. This was told bun with a pair of treacherous blue eyes paztng into his; a pair of fair arms encircling his neck and a Judas Iscariot kiss impressed upon his lips. In the face of these arguments, George fell down, as it were and beleived that his fears were with out foundation.

MORE CIRCUMSPECT. After this episode, matters went on in the little family the same as before, except that the deceptive young wife and Iter lover were more circumspect in their behavior, and were careful not to give George any mire grounds lor suspicion, nut it wa only a lull iu the storm, which burjt in all its furv ddod the devoted head of the deceived husband last Friday evening. At noon on that day. he went home to dinner as usual, kissed his wtte when be returnee! to bis post of duty. The plot, however, was ripe, and as soon as the coast was clear the guilty pair proceeded to put it into esecu tion.

The sequel is best told in the lan guage oi tne deceived who, on reaching home shortly after 6 o'clock, found the nest deserted and the bird flown. DECEIVED GZOKGE'S BECfJL.

Last night Thomas Dickson, of San a carpenter by trade, while bowling along Seventh street, between Franklin and Broadway, fell into a hole in front of the new building going up in that locality and get pretty well bruised up. There is little excuse for the excavations being left unprotected, yet if a man will ran around where buildings are going, up in preference to taking tbe clear sidewalk on the other side of the street, he most expect to meet with just each a catastrophe.

There is no need for any person to take chances around bonding in course of erection, and for a professional builder to do so, seems decidedly foolhardy. Th Namw-6aag Dopof.

Yesterday afternoon, while the sunlight bathing the Watte Tract in a flood of warmth, a prominent, young insurance agent was driving a buggy along Per alia boulevard, near Thirtieth street.

He wm not alone. A bandeome young lady sat beside him, and all went "merry aa a mar. riage bell" until three o'clock, when the hind axle of tbe buggy collapsed, precipi tating tne premium-bun ter and his fair companion upon the cruel macadam of tbe dusty highway. The two young people were very much surprised sod for instant imagined that all (nines ter restrial were nndergoir.g a prooraa of cataclytical convulsion- The buggy, however, convinced them that everything else was in its norm! condition, sad they sadly wended their way homeward, the rate calculator bemoaning a fractured suit of new clothes.

The British Heir Apparent Mary Andersen to Aeenanr. Us New York, October 28th. The WorW London cablegram ray's: It has leaked out that the Prince of Wales has called Miss Anderson to account for her repotted utterances concerning him. At an inter-view the other night at the Lyceum Theater the first question blurted out by his Royal Highness was: "Is it true you would not see mer Miss Anderson re plied with a great deal of apparent em barrassment: "I said I would not seek the honor. This was so apparent an evasion that a great deal of comment has been passed in high quarters and sooietv circles Drofess themselves to be nrofonndlv astonished at the lack of spirit shown by the Princess of Wales in honoring Miss Anderson by her presence at one of her representations.

Tbe Pnii coks, befois deciding to invite Miss Anderson the royal box, sent for Griffin, her manager, and questioned him closely concerning tne ldy repertoire. the number of years she had been on the stage and so forth. The Princess then hinted that sne. wished to see Miss Ander son and requested Orimn to send her in. Alias Ande son.

who, un der the circumstances, did not par. ticularly re lush the meeting, sent back word that she had made it a rule never to see outsiders during a perform ance, and that even on this occasion she preferred not to break it. She said, bow ever, she would be most nappy to meet their Royal Highnesses when she had fin ished ber performance. 1 be Princess then said, "We never wait after the end of piece, and negotiations apparently closed. The piece went on and the royal party remained, and when it was over.

Miss An derson was surprised by her manager, who came with the announcement that their Royal Highnesses were waiting in the pas sage to see her. There wn, of course, no furthei escape, and she immediately went from the stage and met them. The lady's perfoimance had been so pleasing that the l'rincess bad apparently forgotten what. under ordinary circumstances, would have amounted to an anront, and was effusively cordial in her greeting. The Prince was inclined to be a little more reserved, and asked the question, quoted above, point blank.

Tbe Princess, however, was not to be put away from her amia' le intentions. and frhowered ber compliments in a most lavish manner. She said she particplarly wished to be informed of any change in the programmes, and that she was determined to see Miss Anderson in all her DAVIS, OF STOCKTON, And What Happened to Him at the Three-Mile Hons on tho Pablo Read. A man named )avis, lately arrived from Stockton, tells a rather singular story of his adventures at a saloon on the San Pablo road known as "The Three-Mile House." kept by a 'man named Joseph Lambert. He says that la.tt Friday after noon he was somewhat under the influence of liquor and went to Lambert's place for lodging for the night.

While he was mak ing his wants known he. says that a man name Baxter came into the saloon and said, "Fill up five or six glasses of beer, this man has got money enough to pay for it" While the beer wai 1 3inz drawn, Mrs. Baxter and a plumber named Wilkinson came in and were "treated" with the others, Davis tendering a $20 piece in payment for the drinks. 1 be right change was returned to him, but he al eyes that the party whom be had been "treating" then took him down ibto the cellar and relieved him of $79 50 and two watches. He wn then put to bed and remained a'T night, going the next day to tbe house of a fnend on the Harmon Tract.

Yesterday he an nounced that he had been robbed, and that be intended to have tbe thieves arrested This morning, accompanied by James Cassidy and Fink, Davis started for Oasland with the avowed in tention oi swearing out a warrant against aU the parties concerned, and before he reached town he was approached by an unknown man who gave him his two watches and $55 in coin. He then renounced his intention of having the parties arrestr-a. uavis also states that a man named Woodcock was present when the money was taken away from him and pro. tested against the act. Altogether it was a rath er a pculiar case throughout.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Ramon Concerning- Possible Racom. mend Hons te conerress. Chicago, October Tribune's Washington special says Nothing is known here in regard to any recommends tions of the President's message. In fact he is but just receiving the principal points of the reports of the heads of departments, At te the report that he will recommend total abolition of internal taxes, it is not credited here.

There is a general impres sion that he may go as far a he did in his message of last December, in which he advised the repeal of a't this class of taxes. except those on spirits, but this impression is not based upon any recent information about his purposes. Those who have made a study of the result of the redaction by the last Congress and the necessities of -the Government for tbe immediate future, do not believe that tbe President will feel authorized to go beyond bis recommendations ot iat year.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WIEE. The faithless Mabel is a comely blonde, very gocd-Iuoking.

has large, dreamy, blue eyes, small! rosy mouth, small features, is full throated, and a remarkably well de valoped Toting person. She is inordinately fond of dress, and, to use the husband's ex pression, can tell in less than a wins: now many buttons a woman baa on her dress. She is a firm believer in the creed of woman's rights, voting at the polls and making the men stand around. This is evident frm the fact that the unhappy husband used to chop the kindling wood while his wife indulged in a matudinal snooze or other wise amused herself She is rather full bodied, stands about five feet in height, tips the beam at 128 pounds, and has a wealth of red-gold hair. In ad dition to all these charms she is a strict church member of the Baptist persuasion, and belong to the Baptist church on the corner of Seventeenth and Brush streets, in this city The deceived husband is a man, fairly good-looking, is honest, sober and indus trious and bears a good reputation with all who know him.

No knowledge bs been given of the whereabout of the de parted couple and George i in doubt whether to punt after them or not. The name of the suspected bet raver has not yet developed, and is withheld by the sorrow intr husrand. Since the above was in type, it has been reported at this office that Mrs: StephenaJ nas returned to ner Dome, -4- MISS JENNIE A. BUCKLER. The Manner In Which Ber Business Ability Was Displayed.

Alias Jena le A liuckler is a young un married lady of considerable personal charms. She resides in and is the nominal owner of a Louie an 1 lot known as the Hale p'ece new Broadway and Butler street. Her interest in this roperty can not be said to be very irgd as there is firct mortgage on it for $18,046 47 to the Savings Union and a second mortgage for 85,000 to Charles F. McDermott. The price named in the deed of purchase of the house and lot two years ago is $23,000, so that the margin is not very large.

However that may ba, her property coupled with ber pleasing address, manners and appearance, seem to have beguiled the wily business men of San Francisco and Oakland into giving ber credit to the tune of $8,840 H. Although unmarried, she is not entirely unprotected: and has a companion in the house who also dresses well and makes a fine appearance on the street. There is also a little boy. Aiuong the leading creditors are Davidson, of the White House, for I $1,217 36; Samuels, of the Lace House, for S1.400: erdier, Moreau for $800 and $486 95; Mount Bute for $600, and so on. Besides ber interest in ithe house and lot her assets consist of the furniture of the house and a cabinet of These the has assigned to D.I Samuels for the benefit of her creditors.

She is reported have lived in excellent style, and evidently dealt with the beet tradeisnen, but so far as she is personally concerned did not appear to nave) any visible means of subsist ence, although she represented herself as having money. That money does not, however, now appear in her schedule of assets. Thei following is a list of her cred itors Verdier. Moreau Co. $800 and $486 95; Thomas Day, $600; W.

W. Montague $250: S. G. Gump. Mrs.

E. E. Caswell. $120; J. W.

Pinkerton, to. a. sow; ueorge is. Whitney, $500; William Nelle, $400. This assignment was brought on by three attachment suits brought in San Francisco bjj the assignee ofv Verdier Moreau of the City of Paris for $800 and $486, and by L.

Jacoby for $463. In these units George F. Cou't9r is made co-defendant. He is the gentleman who resides with Miss Buckler. The latter is siid to be well connected, and her sister married to a prominent young physician of San Francisco.

It is also said that she receives large renittances at times from the East. MISS JULIET CORSON. Probable Arrival In Oakland Next Weck-Somctblng About the Dm onstratloa Classes. Mrs. Hensnaw, one of the Secretaries of the Oaklandj Cooking School Association, received a telegram yesterday from Miss Juliet Corson of New York, saying that she would probably start on Wednesday for Oakland.) Miss rson, in a letter to Mrs.

Henshaw, says that she will be unable, in the limited time at her disposal, to teach any more practise classes than those already filled. She says that these classes are ip. any case' only' intended for mere beginners who are ignorant of the very alphabet of household arts. Of course, from! their very nature, the work being done by persons entirely unskilled, tbey are slat and irksome to those who have acquired any knowledge whatever of cookery, and also as a matter of course the speed of the work must be regulated by that of the slowest pupil in the class who must be kept abreast of thejothers, even at the expanse of the time of the others. The demonstration classes are much more satisfactoty and intereetin? as the work is done by Corson and ber skilled assistant and explained with lively emments the while.

Already a demand has risen fur i.is Corson's ser vices in San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, and jit is therefore probable that her stay here will not much exceed a month, so that those who wish to take ad vantage of her presence here should not fail to comuinnicate at once with the secretary of the As-ociatioa. The parlors of the Independent Church have been engaged for the put pose of the school. The terms for a class of demonstration lectures are $5 for the course and $12 for the practise lessens.

SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE Iavestieratlair United. States Mar shals. Washington, October29th. Iheagents of the Department of Justice, who have been examining tbe affairs of the United States Marshals for the Northern District of New York, report that its management is characterized by fraud and 'be administration is in general loose and tbe business improperly conducted. Marshal McD is the incumbent and lives at Auburn.

United States Marshid M. C. Osborne, in Alabama District, has has also been investigated. Special agents report that they have found Osborne utterly incompetent. Tbe business of the District is farmed out in a disgraceful manner.

Many moat disreputable persons were employed in the service. Outrageous abuses of official power, as well as-the most glaring and barefaced frauds upon the Treasury, have been indulged in with apparent impunity. Every Deputy Mar shal under Osborne had a hundred false petitions for fraudulent accounts. Pedestrian Match. New Yobk, October 29tb.

Rowell, the English pedrstrian, amrl on the steamer Alaska irom Liverpool yesterday. He came to walk with Fitzgerald, who de feated him last October. The contest is for $5,000 and the championship of tbe world.

Chicago, October 29th. From the Time: Four members of the Coroner's jury in the inquest on Sarah Burns, who was murdered at Lincoln, IIL, refuse to implicate O. A. Carpenter in their verdict. The attorney for the accused claitnsa that the grl was paid several hundred dollars, and was then inveigled (to some lonely place and robbed and murdered.

Traces of the struggle are said to have been discovered under a culvert where cockleburs and weeds are abundant. Chisiese Tricks. Nkw York, October 29th. The Times says: oan Francisco papers call the atten tion of the authorities to tho illicit arrival of Chinese coolie laborers at that port. The treaty permits the entrance of Chinese persons who come for the purpose of curiosity or trade, and it is now charged the horny-handed sons of toil who come to make ci gars and wash clothes, disguise themselves in silk attire as merchants and tourists.

These dark tricks would be expensive if it were not for the alleged fact that the good clothes are merely borrowed, not purchased outright. Argus-eyed Calif ornians main tain a watch so vigilant that even a laborer disguised as a gentleman can hardly squeeze through our half open door, but a really patriotic citizen, flattered by the eagerness with which foreigners seek our shores, might be willing that so much ingenuity that exhibited by self-smuggling Chinese, should not be passed unrewarded by success.

I went into our bedroom for something, and on going to the I saw a note stuck on a cushion with a pin. When I read it. I felt that life for me wai over, that the wife whom I had loved ith all the tenderness the human heart is capable of, bad deserted-me, and that the man I had trotted id broke that trust, robbed me of my wife's affections, and run off with ber." TUB WIFE'S LETTER. The letter left by the wife read as follow: ''Farewell, George, I may not see you again on caith. but I have loved you well and I would have lived with you, but yon were always bringing up that subject, rfow I will say good-bye.

When yon read this I shall be on my way to Winter's. Truly your loving Mabel. P. S. I have left the house, but took my piano." The deduction to be made from the postscript is that if she could have taken the house as well as the piano, she would have done so.

but finding it too cumbersome, under the circumstances, she magnanimously decided to leave it behind, not having a trunk large enough to hold it. THE HUSBAND'S 8 TORT CONTINUED. When I read that letter I could scarcely credit my senses. It seemed impossible that Mabel could have deserted me, and I hurried out of the house to some of the neighbors to inquire after her, trying to believe that she was simply playing a joke en me, but none of them knew anything ta'wrt ber, nor had they seen her go out of -th house. Finally, one of the neighbors, an elderly man, tola oue that some these or four months ago my wife had gone to him and asked him what she should An, as she couldn't live with and said ne told her not to talk sn'-h nonsense, as matters would come cut alright in the end.

Von see by this that she has been planning to leave me ever since that time, and posei' ly for months before. We have been married tist one and a half years, and have never ad any quarrels r.r any word. Here poor husband fairly broke down, and for several seconds lis voice was choked with the sobs he struggled to suppress, and tears of bitterness and shame rolled down his cheeks in torrent. The soft-hearted Tbibottk reporter in deep sympathy for the heartrending gt ief of the deceived husband, led him into a neighboring saloon and braced him up for the further recital of his wrongs. As soon as his grief was assuaged he continued:" All she had to wsajo make her bed, wash lv -r three dishes and -TLAT ON THE PIANO.

Directly I mmd she bad-Teally gone away, I started off to Winter's in the vain hope of finding her there and inducing her to come back ith me and give up the evil course she bad entered upon, and if I could have found her I would have taken her in my arms and forgiving; all the past, agreed to start fresh. But she not there. Uetnrnlng to twn 2 found she had stayed in town somewhere 11 that nivht. but I have not been able to ge on the track of her.
