CHILDS PLAY.

He Didn't Play it Very Fine Though He Ran Away with Another Man's Wife, For ho Forsook Wife, Children, Home, Business, anil Imputation for 11 U Josio. Another Domestis Drama, Illustrating tli9 Susceptibility to Temptation of People High in Church Circles. Placed Before the Audience in Three Acts, With Overture, Prologue, Epi opje, and AH the Accessories. Introductory Otertnre. 'One woe cloth tread uton another' heels o faK they follow. ' .Shake. The Sentinel I? v.ul sure whether the quotation 13 precisely correct, but that is about the eieofit." All day long yesterday Rumor with her myriad tongue related and reiterated tin startling tale that Mr. John A. Chill, a well known insurance luati. and senior member of the firm of Child A. Swain, bad gathered together his worldly etTects and decamped from the city, itcconipanic! by Mr Robinson, a young married wniuui und a niece of Mr?. Child. fiuh !w ttn report whiiii was whispered about all day, but the hero of the romance had stood high in the community, both as a shrewd business man mid reputable citizen, that the recital wad generally discredited. The Sentinel, however, having recently had an exettiog experience in discovering evidences of the frequent oecu rrences of social iniquities among the upper ten thousand, concluded that where mere was so much smoke there must be some tire, and at once set Its corps of reponoriul detectives at work to lerret out the bottom facts. Profiting by revelations of the past, the inquiry was puf fr.ed in a systematic manner, and it was not long before the worst rumors were proved to be well founded facts. When all tue chain of events making up the interesting story had been obtained. lhy were iound to corroborate the oft-rep ated s'atement that a lor.g career of prudence and sagacity in mere business affairs, ami a reputation for good deed, do not prevent a man from becomingblindly fascinated and infatuated, and playing the fol at last, when there is a woman In the case. 1S0 much by way of introduction. The stage being all arranged, it only remains to ring up the curtain and permit the public to gaze upon this domestic drama. FROLOGCR. The uriiest scene in this sciety play is located in the ancient city of Madison, which like the villages in all well regulated novel., nestles tinder home hills in the southern part of the state. In this old and now antiquated town the principal dt-anvtfU j-rrfotix of the piece now on the boards wer reared. In the now quiet streets thereof the male actors pur-ansl their hildi-.lt sports and in the back yards the :ctreaes had their mud pie lan-pit. and told their tales of infantile love. Mr. C-hild was brought from his native England at a very tender age, an 1 early in his youth was taken into the drugstore or fcjimeon Air. I le displsyed great busings aptitude and in a few years started in business for himself. About twenty vcars aro he married a daughter of the late Caleb HchmidUp. a prominent and well-to-do citivtn of Madison, lie was successful in his ventures and alut ten years ago entered Upon the Insurance bus inen. Just after the Chicago tire he removed to this city, and organized the Franklin fire insurance conipauy, of which he was the secretary " , - -ituil la?t summer. Mr. Child is now aoout 40 years of are, is short in stature and rotund in form, has a frank, cheery expression, and in in all respects what the ladies would call a nice looking man. He always has Ixvn au active Christian and a constant churchgoer, lie was an usher in the Menu an Street M. Ii chün h and assistant su enuttndt ntof the Sundayschool o nnect-d therewith. He has been noted for his pious fervor and his submission to the dispensation of P.ovidence, and has br-cn accorded a liigh place in the ranks of the truly god. ACT FIRST. After his removal to tt. is city, Mr. Child affairs grew more prosperous than everlxfore. He accumulated property, became interested in various business houses, a rut appeared to be in a highly enviable condition of life. He wa honored and respited in society, had a oy home on the corner of Michigan aid Eat sUe's, a tho:oughly good womm tor a wife, and two nhih, toth of whom are full grown. It seemed as though he ought to be contented with his lot in life if ever man was, but after events showed that his desires were far from beitig gratified, hsome time livt spritv; Mrs. Child's tather, Mr. Hchmtdlap, be.nnie dangerously '11 and Bent for his daughter to come to Madison to nurse him.

U printer Fut some stars here. ACT THIRD. Whew! After the concentrated gnsh In the above it is ditticult to pet on with the play. However, the Sentinel can s'aud It if the aii'lience can. The directors of the Franklin lire insurance company no sooner read the duh-et notes than they di.--covered that "something was rotten in the state of Denmark," and clearly saw that his satanic majesty hud a tight prip on Mr. Child, and would hi all probability short! v yank him Into tue I'lutonian shades. 8j lliey resolved that he should not drag the company with him. nnd at the annual election, which soon followed, quietly derosed him and put Mr. W. Y. Woollen in his place as secretary. They assigned no reason for this action, and Mr. Child appeared very indignant about it. He formed a partnership with Mr. twain and took revenge by doing bis best to .injure the business of the Franklin. The directory raid no attention to him, feeling &atiha that sooner or later the facts would come to the surface. Iatterly Mr. Childs has tlevoted lib attention to cmverting his property into money, making notable sacrifices to pain this end. He set-ma to have become blindly infatuated with Mrs. Robinson, mid she exercised the power of a siren ovor him. He pave out privately that he exacted to po to Kngland to make a prolonged visit. This week he seems to have completed his arrangements, aud on Tburday morning told his wife that she need not expect him home to supper, as lie had some business to attend to. He went to Mr. UobinsotiV house and the pair took the nton train on the Peru ro id. They went to Kokoaio, where thej took a through train for the east, and will probably set sail to-day for Knpland. As far as can be learned, thi.was the programme they had arranged. This is the body of the play, ladies and gentlemen. The mora! you can draw for yourStKeS. KrilOOIK. Mr. Child. Is supposed to have taken about $12.000 with him. As far as t un be learned his buiueM affairs are all straight. He was interested in several lines of business, one of which was the printing lioue of Itaker, Schtuidlap & Co., in which two of bH brother In-law are partnrrs. His wife is in comfortable circum stances, having property in her own right, and the boys are well situated. Mrs. Robinson had no children, and her husband, though stapgered somewhat when on returning hotii to supper on Thursday evening to tiud the dor locked and his wife gone, is not entirely disconsolate. The guilty pair will probably not be pursued, and will eventually prove a punishment to each other. Turn out the lights, janitor. Our play has only served to illustrate the weakness of poor humanity under temptation, even when there j every inducement lor manful resistence.: The Injured Uunbend' Title. Last evening a Sen tint 1 reporter called at the residence of Mr. Childs, aud was greeted at the door by Mr. Louis Sohmidhip, brother of Mr. Childs, and Mr. William II. Robinson, husband of Chi bid's companion in flight. IJotU gentlemen were very communicative, and willing to give all the iuformitiion in their power. Mr. BcbiuiJlap stated that Mrs. Childs had no premonition of the disaster which was to break the family circle until fWrsday evening, when Mr. Swain called tw the house and asked for Mr. Childs. She had received a note from her husband early in the day, stating that he was called away on bu.-unecs and would not return to dinner, probably not to supper, and fosaioly would be detained all night. When Mr. 8wain stated that Child had not pone out on business, she be came uneasy and feared some terrible calamity was about to fall on her. The reporter then directed Iiis attention to Mr. Robinson, whom he asked: "When did you first suspect the truth, as it hastdiice been revetded io you?" Mr. R-binsou Not until last night. Y'on see, I am away from home all day at work, and do not return until super time. When I returned Inst evening I found the bouse in order, but Mrs. Robinson was not at home. I did not think anvthing of it at the time, but built a fire and sat down to rd the papers while awaiting my wife a return. Kepo. 'Hot ud ott first diacover that your wile baa leftr

Mr. Kvuiuoou i had occasion to get sota

article which was kept in a bureau drawer, iu w hich my wife kept her clothes. On opening it I found that her clothe had ull been removed. I then examined the other drapers and found that they were nlso empty, as was also a closet. I then feared that 'something was wrong, and I started over to Mr. Childs's; on the way I met Mrs. Chilis and her wm. I asked her where she was going, and he said, "Over to your house: is Josie (my wife) at home?" I replied in the negative. When the informed me that Mr. Chi.ds was ahio gone and thst lie had taken hia clothes with him, I then said they had gone together. KeKrtcr What ptep did you then take to learn the truth uf the ce? Mr. Rjliincoti I went to the depot and found that Mr. Child had poreluived two tickets tiicre during the forenoon, either to Ktikomo or Chicigo. I then wt-nt to the Ma.sachuMtt a'riiue d.-jw.t, aiiI :veertuined that Mr. (liiM and a l.dy answering the description of my wifi) hud boarded the 10:40 trai a.

Since Bhe li ft 1 found a Kwof the letters, and in one of them he Ulis her not to fret, and while she tniprit as well have accompanied him this time, he would certainly take her w ith him the next time to gtes to Europe. IleiH.rter What iteps have you taken towards ascertaining their where ihoutsi' Mr. Robinson I have simply telegraphed a description of the jvtrties to the Chicago police, and if they Ik not there, I "hull take no further steps in the mutter. Mr. lioiinsoii is a man apparently about 23 years of age, and preponsf sing in appearance, being about medium height and compactly built. 11. wears a light mustache, nearly black in color. lie has a pleasant cjt of countenanre and dark eyes. He R'atC9 that they have been marrird eight years, and their marital relation have always been the most amicable. They have bad but one child, which was buri'ed in Infancy. Mr. r-'chmidlap stated that Childs had taken every cent with him that he cotil J lay his hands on, and probably hud from fcVOOO to $lü,üoO with him. Ä few day ago he gave his wife $120, and hsd paid dl his debts. The family residence is owned by Mrs. Childs, but aside from di'it h ha left her nothing. The deserted wife is stricken with grief, and is inclined to hiebt her huhand as much as possible and to favor the theory that he is not in his right mind. l'nuipins; the Cook. The Sentinel reporter, after leaving Mr. Schmidlap, was met at the gate by a yonng woman aced aUiut two and twenty, bright eyed and bnxoui. whose name i.s Hteuie s?lahlhut, and who has had the control of the culinary dejmrtment of Mr. Childs's mansion. She was willing to tell the news iratherer ell she knew, which was to the following eflVct: Mrs Child h iving pone to the union meetine of Robert Fark church on Wednesday

evening, Mr Child. rame to me at least four times Kitd asked me if I was going out. He waa inclined to think I should go. I thought it stramm he should act this way, but complied with his request. I was in the hab t of Uking the dining roon'i key when going out. by Mr. Childs thought it best for me to take the kitchen key. as he might need the dining room key. "On Thursday morning I weut to his drawer in th bureau and found hi cl-thes miKsinp. JTe liad even taken hi underclothes from the clotheshorse. I was about to ask where they wwre when Mr. Child.. wIm was in the room, heard me say where, and left the room. lie was always so nice and it appeared so stnnpe. His wife had even tMjught mm a Christmas present. Its no use now. He' gone and took her (Mrs. lobiiiMin) with him. I could cry to think of it. Miss Ptahlbut was here remiDdedof her singiug-scbool and bade the reporter good night. A Talk With Sir. Swain. Mr. D. F. Swain. Mr. Childs partner, was found .'n hisoftice an i in anwer to inq mmes a to the business anatrs ot Mr. Child, s'ated th.it Mr. Child hud disposed of all his 'nterest in the buxine to Mr. (Iraham but one sixteenth. He had noticed that Mr. Childs was gradually leaving the business in his care, and be spoke to him in regard to it. Mr. Childs said hi old sickness was a-THin troubling him and he did not feel like attendinp to huaines. Mr. Swain states that the business of the firm is in good shape, Mr. Child being particular to we that all accounts were hilanced up to dite. Mr. Graham left for Chicago last night to consult with the company at that place in repard to returning the apency. The style of the firm will lx chsnged to Bwain'A (Ira ham, and the business will be conducted es heretofore. The Fwttt nail. New York Ileraldd The fast mail service still proves a fallacy. It is evident that this 4:35 a. m. train is run altogether in the interest of the express comjany, in order to obtain larger compen sation than the government allows, and which also com m is the great New York journals tosend by this conveyance at six limes more expense man me c uuea r-uii.es mail. Mr. Jameson, assistant superinten dent of the railway mail service, telegraphed Mr. vail to Washington yesterday that "the Adams express car was run out of the depot on the 4:35 train on Thursday morning, while the postal cars were held until the arrival of the Horton train, which was one hour and thirty minutes late." In consequence the New York mails, which otherwise would have anived at Washington at 1:05, did not reach there until 6 p. m. This flagrant defiance of the post othce authorities by a railway company should bring Postmaster General Tyner to his mettle, who i apparently doing nothing toward straightening this matter. It is stated in post othce circles that the congressional committee on postal affairs of the senate and hous of representatives will take up this subject after the holidays, and closely investigate the conduct of those now obstructing a fast mail service.
