A SOCIAL BOOMERANG. The Recoil of the Effort! of a Coterie of Reputation Rulneri at Newport, R. I— A Notable Instance of the Biter Being Bitten. Newport, R. I., July SO.—Society has a delicious morsel of g ossip to tickle it» palate with just how,. Recently a false and malicious statement regarding a well-known and popular young New Yorker was printed. The victim has filled high positions in the gift of his state and has served the nation abroad in the diplomatic service. By implication a well-known society lady, also of New York, whose'character is above reproach and who moves in the gilded circjg, was brought into the article. The New York weekly paper publishing the innuendo was brought up with a round turn, and one of the owners or managers, for a consideration, it is said, divulged the name of the author of the scurrilous article. A New York lawyer was consulted by the young man who had been so grossly assailed. Then followed, a sensation. The correspondent, a woman, proved ^to be a well-known member of society. She was threatened with a criminal prosecution. The aggrieved party, however, calling to mind the fact that the woman, who was the secret correspondent of the paper, h^d often bean a visitor, and a welcome one, too, at his home, relented and he contentR himself with a duly signed confession, the woman' in extenuation of her conduct giving, the names of several prominent society women, who for personal motives, had •given her the “information” to injure a worthy wife and mother and a young, unmarried man. The correspondent was fooled, and was simply used as a tool by designing persons. A more diabolical attempt to bring two of New York’s best-known and most highly-respected families into disgrace has never been known in Newport. but the scandalmongers shot wide of the mark and they never thought that the young man would appeal to the courts for redress. The society women who imposed upon the correspondent are known and their efforts to smirch the 'characterof the lady were prompted by pique. Their dupe came very near striking a deadly blow, which might have forever ruined two happy homes. Her confession is here, and it has been seen and read by all those for whose opinion the parties who were wronged care anything about. The incident is the sensation of the social season at Newport. A TERRIBLE DROUGHT. River* and Creeks Going Dry and Crops > Burning: Up. ■Wheeling, W. Va., July 30.—West Virginia is suffering from the most severe and long continued drought that has been known in many years.
