HOT TIME IN SUBURBS OF RENSSELAER.

Spouse Crosses Pate of Erring Wife And Her GaUant; Last Chapter Probably Told in Court. Excitement was high for sometime last night in the northwest part of town and an entire neighborhood was awakened about 10 o’clock by noises and shouts that were alleged to have been curse-laden and unseemely language. The trouble started when an honest and hard-working man, wearily plodding his Way homeward, crossed the path of a strolling, and fr6m all appearances, a very affectionate cotmle. As they merged their way slowlyl&nd passed under tbe dim rays of a corner electric light, the lone man stopped, hesitatingly, as if impressed by something strangely familiar. A second glance assurred him. It was his wife. He did not waste time in making himkelf known, as neither did his wife’s gallant knight waste time in "beating it.” No small scene was enacted on that corner and by the time they reached their home they were in the height of a battle, verbal and otherwise.

This is not the first escapade in which the woman had been involved and it was the husband’s grim determination that she should not be allowed the comforts of his home any longer. The fight that is alleged to have ensued, lacked all the qualities of a lullabye, and interfered so greatly with the neighbors’ peaceful sleep that they called on Marshal "Mustard for assistance. The marshal succeeded in making temporary amendments and persuaded the husband to shelter his erring wife over night. So far no legal steps have been taken to settle the affair, but it is not improbable that action will be taken to remove the children of the mother from under her charge.
