Matrimonial Notes.

Plate John, of Empire, Nev., was recently bereaved by the loss of his wife. and went to the foothills, where he buried the remains In a hole about two feet deep, covering the the grave with a pile of boulders. He returned to the lodge and joyously selected a shapely squaw, to whom he was immediately married. Mrs. Mollie Carson is the plaintiff in an Indian lawsuit, and her mothet-in-l&w is the defendant. Mrs. Carson says in her complaint that James Carson wooed her, but never would have won her if his mother had not promised her S6OO. payable as soon as the wedding was over. Two years have elapsed, and the pair have lived happy together, but the money has not been paid. Hence the litigation. A lively sensation was raised Saturday afternoon during the matinee performance at the Brooklyn Park Theater by an indignant wife. Just as the second act of the performance of the Vokes family was being brought to a close, a woman excitedly rushed down the center aisle of the house, tapped a gentleman on the shoulder and beckoned him to follow her with a decided show of authority. He obeyed the summons, and when the two reached the vestibule the woman struck him twice over the head with her umbrella. A crowd gathered, and the man quietly slipped out of the building. The parties to the difficulty proved to be Mr. Stock well, keeper of a saloon on Montague street, Brooklyn, and his wife. Mrs. Stockwell found her husband at the theater in company with another woman and determined to teach him a lesson.
