o.slan's Divorce Case.

St. Paul has for some months had a
peculiarly disgusting divorce suit ex-
element. The husband, Ossian E.
Dodge, at n time famous as a concert
singer, was accused by his wife Of about
every conceivable sin, and now she
comes forward and says under oath
that she was put up to 1t by her law
yer; that he fairly drove her to 1t
against her will. There Is great in
dignation nov against her counsel. 1t
does not appear that she was ut any
time under his power" except by
her own voluntary act. But husband
and wife having decided to make up,
the attorney must be the scapegoat,
whether Justly or unjustly We know
not. Of all tho perjury. Ossian's IA
vorite song In his melody days was the
"Pesky Sarpent Bit My Heel" He
wont to set the company In a roar
by his droll rendering Of tho song.
He probably thinks by this time that
there was more truth than poetry,
more agony than jollity, In that re.
frain. Whether the lawyer deserved
all the blame or not, one thing is GER
tain: st. Paul Is happily rid Of q most
scandal, which has rendered
the local columns of Its city press In
decent quite too long for the public
good.-St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald, March

A wife Murderer Hanged.
A dispatch from Chicago, dated
March 18th says:

A dispatch from Chicago, dated
March 18th says:
George Driver. who killed his wife
on the 30th Of last November BY shoot
Ing her with q pistol borrowed from
his son, was executed In the County
Jail here this afternoon at 2:24. His
last night was spent mainly In prayer,
the attending minister being Of the
PRESBYTERIAN faith. This morning a
Jesuit father visited him, but he
declined to follow his advice. He said
he was once a Catholic because his
wife aud children were, but he had
rsaounced that faith since his convic-
ton aud would die a Presbyterian.
About noon he expressed a desire to
converse with Rafferty,, another muir
derer, who is confined In Jail under
sentence Of death, and who has been
granted a supersedeas twice. Driver
spoke with him long and earnestly,
advising him to make his peace with
Heaven. Rafferty, laughed at him.
The children of the doomed man acted
unfeelingly throughout ; they talked
and laughed with strangers as II at a
levee. Shortly after 2 o'clork Driver
was taken from the cell, where he was
praying. and brought to the scaffold.
which he mounted firmly and without
