     Ike Atrach, the Turk who ran the Pearl Chile and Ice Cream Parlor, a cozy and inviting little place on Akard street, between Main and Commerce, is missing.
     About five months ago, Atrach married the young daughter of Mr. W. H. Fischer, and Mr. Fischer recently bought the stand and fixtures of the Pearl and turned them over to his son-in-law, and authorized him to buy a stock of goods for the stand.
     Atrach bought $400 or $500 worth of fruits and confections on time from Garlington & Co. and Esonau[?], and stood off his cooks, waiters and clerks for their salaries, and on last Thursday night, skipped with all the money he had taken in, besides $500 of the old man's hardest money, leaving his help and the wholesale houses in the lurch for what was due them, and also abandoning his young wife.
     The Turk gave no reason for thus grabbing everything in sight and quietly, quitting the city. Mr. Fisher says he believes his son-in-law is desirous of returning to Asia, and is now on his way to the Orient.
     The young wife is heart-broken over the discovery that her husband could thus basely desert her.

     G. W. Thomas and Mrs. Laura Murphy, the latter carrying a two-weeks' old boy baby, showed up in the County Clerk's office this morning and asked for a marriage license and somebody to perform the ceremony.
     County Judge Nash was soon found, and in the presence of a considerable crowd, married the couple, while Deputy Clerk Elliott held the little baby.
     When the ceremony was over, a TIMES HERALD representative stepped forward to get a good look at the infant. Seeing which, the groom asked in tones that showed he was proud of the little fellow:
     "Well, what do you think of him?"
     "He's all right."
     "You bet he is," said Mr. Thomas, with evident satisfaction.

     Mrs. August L. Lusch has sued C. E. Lusch in the Forty-fourth District Court for divorce.
     In her petition, she says they were married in Dallas June 14, 1892, and lived together until November 25, 1894, when he abandoned her and that they had not been married long before he began to mistreat and abuse her. At first, he would mildly throw out a few curse words. From this, he gradually drifted into striking her, not very hard at first, but by degrees, throwing a little more force into the blow, until he got to hauling away in good old-fashioned style and knocking her sprawling. On the morning of Nov. 25, 1894, he was unusually violent. As she was preparing his breakfast, he knocked her down, kicked her several times while she was on the floor, upset the breakfast table and threw the dishes and cooking utensils out the door, and then left for good.

     There was an unusual departure at the Bethel Mission services last night. The attendance was exceptionally large. Superintendent Cooper announced that there was a couple present who wished to be united in the bonds of matrimony, and that the rite would take place at once.
     The parties were Mrs. Lulu Drew and Mr. A. G. Smith. The Rev. Mr. Kinne, of the Methodist church, performed the ceremony, concluding with a few appropriate words. After the marriage, the couple quietly returned to their places in the audience, and Mr. Kinne proceeded with his sermon.
     Among those who professed conversion was an old man who had, for many years, been a victim to strong drink, and a large number of persons expressed a desire to be prayed for.
     Street service will be held to-night at 7 o'clock. Christians are urged to attend. At 7:30, Evangelist Wilson will deliver a sermon.
     The present attendance at the Bethel Mission is unusually large and the attendance growing.

     Mrs. Sargent says that the ceremony was hardly over, before her husband began to mistreat her and curse her. In her petition, she gives several samples of the curse words he applied to her. They are unfit for publication, but are certainly up to the highest standard.

     Late yesterday evening, a couple drove up to the court house door. The man alighted and the woman held down the buggy. Old timers in the vicinity knew that the County Clerk was going to sell a marriage license. The names of the parties were Q. D. Parker and Miss Medilla Vaughn.
     Mr. Parker inquired for a Justice of the Peace and was referred to Judge Skelton. He stated that he wished to be married in the middle of Commerce street, at the foot of the bridge. Justice Skelton, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, readily consented to accommodate the couple and the ceremony was accordingly performed just as the court house clock struck 6.
     Nobody seems to have asked who the couple were or whence they came.

Finally, he grew more violent towards her, and not only cussed and abused her, but knocked her down with his fist and kicked her. After they had separated, he wrote her from Sherman that he was very sick and begged her to send him $2.50 to buy medicine with. She sent him the money and received a grim, taunting letter in reply, that he was just fooling her; that he was not sick at all, but needed the money to buy a license to marry another woman, and knew of no other scheme by which he could raise it.

     Mr. Rodgers sets forth that they were married in Dallas on February 22, 1894, and lived together until April 10, 1895.
     On the last named date, Mr. Rodgers, in his petition, says he discovered his wife take from lock box No. 605, Dallas postoffice, two letters. This box, he says, is paid for by C. S. Scogin. The two letters contained neither names nor dates, but from their postmarks and some internal indications, they were evidently sent from Fort Worth.
     These letters are set forth at length in the petition. They betray a criminal intimacy between the writer and Mrs. Rodgers. The first letter is a little too tough for publication in a great religious daily like the TIMES HERALD.
     The second is a "honey," and of great length. The following extract will give a very fair idea of what it is throughout.
     "I cannot tell you, pet, how profoundly thankful I am to you for such expressions of confidence. If these words did not come up out of your heart, I shall never believe in man or woman again. I have not doubted you, and shall never doubt you. I shall be as frank to you as I would have you be to me, for I recognize, that in the supremacy of confidence, one finds the foundation of happiness. It is all strange to me, this new life for us. Had I attempted to tell my own feelings towards you, I could not have used language mere expressive of my sentiments and love than those you write. You say you trust me, and I assure you that it never enters my mind that you could, or would, possibly do a wrong thing. Somehow, you are never associated with evil in my mind, or that you would deceive me. I realize that you are the only person I have had so much confidence in. Others, I have doubted; thought they would as willingly deceive me as tell me the truth; and what has been the result? HELL! Nothing less. Since the day you told me you would live for me, I have not, for the infinitesimal part of a second, doubted you.
     "Pet, it is the purest love, the grandest happiness, I have ever experienced. I cannot be happy unless you are. I have thought our meeting last November the result of some greater power than our own. I hope you will go to Kentucky and not go back to him."
     The writer goes on in this gushing strain to great length. He speaks of a possible trip he has in contemplation to Mexico, and hopes to goodness, he will not have to make it. He wishes to know if she could not manage to meet him in Galveston.

     A wedding of interest in newspaper circles took place Saturday evening at 8 o'clock, Rt. Rev. Bishop A. C. Garrett officiating. It was that of James Clayton McNealus, managing editor of the Times Herald, and Virginia Quitman Goffe, associate editor of the same paper. Both have been journalistically identified with Dallas for a number of years.
     The bride is a member of an old Southern family prominently connected throughout the old South and with its ante-bellum history, being a granddaughter of the late Gen. John A. Quitman, for many years Governor of Mississippi and endeared to old Texans from the valuable assistance he rendered in the war for Texas Independence, and later by the capture of Chapultepec in the Mexican war. Her maternal grandmother was Margaret Aylette, of Virginia, a niece of Lord Fairfax and first cousin of Martha Dandridge Custis, afterward wife of Washington.
     Left dependent by the death of father and husband, Mrs. Goffe came to Dallas some six years ago and became a pen worker, first on the News, and afterward, as editor of Sanger's Magazine, a position she held for four years, or so long as the magazine existed. She then associated herself with the Times Herald, and has since been a valued member of its staff as an all-round journalist, from special reporting to editorial writing.
     Mr. McNealus started in the newspaper business by learning the printer's trade at the age of 17 on the Mohawk Valley (N. Y.) Register. He "came west" in 1870 and took charge of the Parsons (Kan.) Sun, later becoming editor of the daily Monitor of Fort Scott. In 1874, he came to Texas, and has, since that time, considered Dallas his home, having during his residence here, been connected with The News and the old Dallas Commercial, Morning Call, Daily Gazette, Morning Herald and Evening Times. For the past two years, he has been managing editor of the Times Herald. Prior to this last engagement, during an absence of several years from Dallas, he gathered a varied and valuable newspaper experience and a reputation as a hustler by work on the staffs of the St. Louis Republic, St. Louis Globe-Democrat, New York World and New York Recorder, and for a year, had charge of the general officers of the Press News Association in New York, before that concern was absorbed by the Associate Press. Under Sir Charles Gibson's Presidency of the Yellowstone National Park Association, he was private secretary, and in that capacity, appeared before several Congressional committees, thus adding a wide acquaintance with public men to that with leading newspaper people. -- Dallas News.

     Austin McGee, to-day, filed suit for divorce from Maggie McGee. He states in his petition that they were married in Dallas and lived together until 1891, when he was forced to leave her.
     He says she has an ungovernable temper, and before the honeymoon was fairly over, she began to call him "dog," "devil," "fiend" and other pet names of that description. Sometimes, she declined to prepare anything for him to eat. Finally, on the day of the separation, she closed the door in his face when he came to dinner and said she wished him never to come near her again; that he was a "horrid old thing."

     Several months ago, T. B. Herring was indicted by the grand jury for seducing and procuring an abortion on Miss Barger. Dr. King was also indicted for producing the abortion.
     Between the time Herring was alleged to have seduced Miss Barger, and the time of his indictment, he married another woman.
     Herring was tried in the Criminal District Court and given five years, but Judge Clint granted him a new trial, which is still pending.
     Dr. King was also tried and given two years.
     In the meantime, Mrs. Herring obtained divorce on the ground that her husband had been convicted of felony.
     Herring, thus freed from his first marriage, offered to repair the injury he had done Miss Barger by marrying her. The chances are that he will not be further prosecuted.
     The wedding was a very quiet affair, and does not belong in the society column.

But, she was by no means indolent with her tongue, which she kept busy abusing him. Finally, she threw a butcher knife at him while he was eating breakfast. That settled it.

Her husband had a violent temper and very few of the matters and things in life were arranged to his liking, and he appeared to believe that she was responsible for the discordances. He, therefore, abused and even beat her, according to the intensity of the particular irritation. On one occasion, he attempted to shoot her, but was presented by the interposition of neighbors. After he left her, he was sent to the penitentiary for a crime committed in South Texas. Four children were born of the union.

     ALBANY, I. T., July 27 -- Friends of the Court: -- I received your papers concerning mine and Katie Powell's past life of eighteen months, and under the existing circumstances, I think the Catharine Cox deserves a divorce; for, I never did donate one single cent towards making her a living, since I saw her last, and not very much while I was with her. The circumstances is, I couldn't get nothing to give myself, let alone her, and if things don't change from a Democratic to a Populist administration, I don't think I ever will be able to support myself again, even without a woman.
     "And, as far as I am concerned, I am perfectly willing for the girl to get all the papers she wants, to release her from her troubles.
     "Well, I suppose that is sufficient. If it is not, just put anything there you want and give her a divorce. So, good-bye. W. N. W. COX."
