Considerable excitement was caused in the west end section of the city yesterday by the discovery of the elopement of John Fer- Cpe Pratt and Lge iton streets, with ‘is sister-in-law, Mrs. in Kirby, residing at 106 Hollins street. About eight mouths ago Christopher Sp ed of @ restanrant corner of Pratt and Poppelton streets, dispos- ed of the establishment to Ferguson. The latter brought his wife to the nieghborhood. and resided at 68 South Poppelton street up to Monday last. On Tuesday Ferguson re- sold the plaee to Otto,and afterall the arrange- ments had been made parted with him at 7.00 the same evening, promising to return at ten o’clotk. At the latter hour Mrs. Fergu- son called at Otto's store and inquired for her husband, expressing fears at the time that he had left her. Yesterday morning the sus- Picton Was corroborated by the absence of xs. Kirby, asister of Mrs. Ferguson. Noth- ing had been heard ofthe ranaways up to late last night. Mr. Kirby, who is a well- known and respected resident of the western portion of the city, was interviewed by a Fepresentative of the Gazette last night. “He said that in addition to having seduced his wife, Ferguson was indebted to him to th amount of two or three hundred dol- lars borrowed money. Mr. Kirby was naturally = much excited, and was surrou: by sympathizing friends. Mrs. Kirby is described as a charraing bra- netteofeigieen. Before her bres a few months sinee she was an acknowledged belle in the cliele in which she moved. Her sister Mrs. Ferguson, is a couple of years older. She was yestercay too much prostrated by the desertion ot her hasband to beable to con- verse on the subject. It is ges ad that Fer- guson leaves behind him an indebtedness to Various persons aggregating over $3,000. He had also, it is cha , with him some vatua- ble jewelry, belonging to different persons. Mr. Kirby states that he never observed any undue or improper intimacy betweea Fergu- son and Mrs. Kirby since his marirage.
