THE THREE GRACES.

A Remarkable Celebration at Wlneheeter, Ind. In the parlors of the Commercial House at Winchester, Wednesday night, occurred a scene seldom witnessed. Three ladles, each the wife of Edward McCool, celebrated the prize of tout* and one-half years which he had drawn In the Prison North. Music, dancing and singing was the program of the evening. McCool was charged with bigamy some months ago. He protested his innocence, but when confronted by three handsome women, who each had a lease on his life, he weakened and pleaded guilty, and was sentenced by Judge Monks as above. The ladles registered as Mrs. Mary Flannlgan, of Findlay, O.; Cora Stewart, of Columbus, 0., and Vana Hiatt, of Winchester. They occupied the same room at the hotel, and had their photograps taken In a group.
