MELVILLE’S RECEPTION AT HIS OLD HOME—THE SUD- DEN ILLNESS OF HIS WIFE, WHO CHARGES THAT EUT. DANEN- HOWER’S RELATIONS WITH CHIEF ENGINEER MEL- VILLE. Chiet Engineer Melville arrived at his home, Sharon Hill, on the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, about 6 o'clock Saturday even- ing, accompanied by a party of prominent Phila- delphians. ‘The streets were lined with people,who cheered lustily upon the appearance of the Arctic hero. Across the avenue leading to his cottage an arch was erected on which was tho inscription, “Welcome Home.” Engineer Melville’s residence was brilliantly iluminated, as wes also nearly every cottagwon the place. ‘He met his daughters on the threshold of their house. The meeting was very affecting. His wire, whom he had not seen for three long years, he récejved privately, and no one saw the meeting. He was presented with a letter of welcome from the citizens of Sharon Hill, after Which he held a public reception, which was attended Uy 2,000 people. Mrs. Meiville was seized with delirium at the close of the demonstration, following, it 1s said, an interview with her bus: band. Métville left the house the same night with friends, going to Darby, near by, anu as not re- turned. His wife remains with nurses, and is vader a physiclan’s care. The singular conduct of Mei- ville and nis wife, at their meeting Suturday even- ing, and the fact’that Melville tarrled so lonz at other places before going to his home, has caused considerable comment in Philadelphia. > MRS. MELVILLE TELLS A STRANGE STORY. After Melville’s sudden departure from his home Saturday evening, Mrs. Melville wasseen at Sharon Hill, and, according to the Philadelphia Press, told the follow ing story: “My husband has left me; gone I know not where, never to return. Gone without one word of explanation as to wily he deserted me.” “Do I understand you to say, Mrs. Melville, that your husband has deliberately deserted you? “Yes, sir; he left this house last niglit. He re~ fused to rémain here, and cursed me before he Went. It is too terrible, 1t will kill me; 1t will kill me. But I will tell you everything, though my heart fs breaking and I feel that I'm going mad. When Melville had greeted his children Saturday night on the porch he came to me. I was waitin, for him in the dining-room. He came in and I sal to hia, ‘On, George, 1 am giad to see you; are you not glad to get back?’ and then I kissed him, but he made no reply, and his arms hung light at his side, Then Meta caught him by the Sald, ‘Kiss me again, papa, I’m so glad to see you,’ and he turned upon her and exclaimed tnan angry manner, *Who taught you w say that!’ TaenT d, ‘Oh, George, don’t talk so, sone one will hear you; the house 1s full of your’ friends. Let us go out into the parlors and receive them.’ ‘They are not friends of mine,’ he replied. ‘They are your friends, not mine,’ I answered, and led. him into the parlors, but oite or two of the guests had h this gruff greeting, and were greatly astonished. Shortly afterwards he seized his hat and lett the house, saying he would end the matter now and for all time. I called to him, but he was gone out in the darkness, and I was left alone. It was too much for me to bear, and I broke down completely. Just think of the disgrace! My chiidren knew that my husband and their father had deserted me. He left me without a dollar in the house, or food to eat; left us without anything—my chil- dren and myself—wituout one word of explana- tion, and I have not seen him since, nor do I know where he Is.” “Can you account for nis strange behavior, Mrs. Melville, or assign a cause?” “Notiling further than I dlspleased him in re- gard to money matters, and there was always a Scene on his return {rom’a voy: During his last trip he only allowed me $90 a mont, How could I keep up lils house and grounds, clotiie myself and his children and send them to school and meet household expenses out of that! ‘That's what dis- sed him? ‘This Ting has been pending for and now 1U’scome and is out; and it will Kill It fs sald in this city to-day by persons claiming to know that the trouble between Lieut, Melville and his wife was in relation to money matters; that he expected she had sved something to help him buy a home, and found thai she had spent al she had drawn during his absence, and that he expressed himself forcibly in regard’ to the iat ter.
