Court next to be holden mt Belfast the third
Tuesday Of April, inst:
INLIZA SUkEFORTH of Liberty in the County
~ of Waldo, respectfully libels and gives this
Honorable Court to be informed that the 10Th day
Of March. 1865, at Washington, in the County Of
Knox, she was lawfully married to Lleweyn Sukr-
forth, and that she has had by him two children
now deceased, the other, Herbert, born May first,
1872, now living; and she has always behaved her,
self towards her husband devoted md faithful
wife, yet the said Leweyn Sukeforth, regardless of
marriage has treated her with extreme cruelty, has
her in divers ways and treated her with shameful
and indecent language, and has threatened her life
and made her life miserable and put her in such fear
she had to leave him and he refuses to furnish her
with any support for her or their child and she has
always had to support herself and child for more
than three years. and he has frequently accused her
of Illicit intercourse with other persons, which is
utterly false and untrue; and in 1876 he left the
State OF Maine. and she does not know where he
now is, although she has made diligent inquiry to
ascertain.
Wherefore she prays that she may be divorced
from the bonds of matrimony existing between her
and her said husband, and she AYERS that such di-
would be reasonable and proper, conducive to
domestic harmony and consistent with the peace
and morality of society. ELIZA SUkEFORrH.

Sad Events in Aroostook.
correspondence Portland Press. |


FORT FAIRFIELD, Aug. p, 1877. Oul
little village has during the past week
been called upon to record two very sad
and fatal casualties. Tuesday night, 2Ist
INST, bright and intelligent lad of eleven
years died after brief illness, and with
symptoms that indicated foul play Close
upon this sad event came the report that
one of our most highly respected young
men had deliberately committed suicide.
The circumstances which led to the first
are about as follows
The family Of Deputy Sheriff Joseph /.
Hall (blacksmith) consisted OF himself
and wife, daughter, aged about Is, and
the boy Zenas, aged II. Mrs. Hall has
twice been at the Insane Hospital at
Augusta, but for some few years has been
at home, showing only occasional symp-
toms OF Insanity. In her rational moods
she has requested friends and neighbors to
see that she did not do harm to her chill
dren, to whom she was ever kind moth
Ell, when sane. Her only symptom of insan-
lty was manltestedin her determination to
kill her boy and girl. She has made many
unsuccessful attempts to procure poison
At one time she attempted to drown her
boy by holding him in a hogshead of wa
ter which she had filed for this purpose.
The boy Overpowered her this time and
escaped. At another time she gave both
children bed-bug poison, and another
blue Vltliol. Recently she gathered all the
poisoned fly paper she could procure, and
sleeping it, hid it away till the desired
opportunity should offer itself Some
two weeks since Zenas was taken sick
from the effects of eating green apples.
etc, and passed into typhoid fever and
congestion of the brain, with other svmp-
toms which the attending physician could
not comprehend After the BOYS death,
poison being limited at, council of phv-
slclans assembled the morning of the fu
neral to make post norton examination.
Not the slightest suspicion had entered
the father mind up to this time. The
mother, finding her secret would be OBJ
tanned, went to a neighbor and confessed
the deed.
The funeral occurred in the afternoon
largely attended, after which the mother
was taken a few miles away to the home
of a friend, and will probably soon be re-
turned to the hospital. Her only regret
is that her attempt at the same time to
poison the girl did not succeed.
At early noon Tuesday, Marshal Pow
ers, son Of Addison Powers, deliberately
went across the yard into his fathers
workshop, and with a gun shot himself
through the forehead. His age was %.
He had been suffering from sore foot,
from effects of scarlet fever, and was
probably discouraged. He had recently
been studying medicine, and was Il very
promising and upright young man.

Governor Williams Serenaded.


AUGUSTA, Sept. !. The only political
demonstration of the present campaign
took place in this city tonight, it being
the visit of the Zouave companies Of Port
land and Brunswick to extend a cOmpli-
mentary serenade to Hon. Joseph H. Will
llams, Democratic candidate for Cover
nor. A street parade and torchlight pro
cession was had. after which the Iouaves
marched to the residence of Mr. Williams
who greeted them with a speech of wei
come and banquet. The speech was
mainly devoted to 4 defense of his inter
probation Of the second plank in the Dem
ocratic platform. which be claims does
not mean that President Hayes holds his
office by any fraud on the part of the
Electoral Commission. $. G. Andrews of
Portland responded. The Zouaves re-
turned home at midnight on special
train.

The Turco-Russian War.

Suleiman Pasha has retired from his
attack on Shipka Pass, after having lost
1000 men in the attempt, and is now re-
oganzing his forces The Russian losses
are heavy, but the garrison has been re-
intorced. A few Egyptian troops still
occupy the Turkish position near the
Pass.
LONDON, Sept. 4. The Daily News
special from Gorny Student, says the EN-
peror will present Gen. Radetsky sword
set with diamonds, for the defence of
Shlpka. The next week promises to be
bloody one. Summer is going, and de-
cisiye results become every day of more
importance, for there are indications, fl
nancial, political and social, which point
against the probability of continuance of
war into another campaign.
The Times Vienna despatch says the
report of Suleiman Pasha acting under
imperative orders from Constantinople in
pressing his attack upon the Russians in
Shipka Pass, is emphatically denied. He
receives full credit Ior his earlier opera
tons, but in renewing the attack over
and over again he is deemed to have not
only made a useless sacrifice of excellent
troops, which were that operations on
that side were to be at least in the first
instance merely demonstration on a
large scale to attack the Russian forces.
An order has been sent to Suleiman PaSha
to deslst his attempts for the present and
follow in future more closely the instruc-
tons received from Mehcmet Ali Pasha.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4. Cable dispatches
say the friends of Russia in high quarters
in England are using their influence in
favor of peace. 1t is thought under pres
ent circumstances that Russia will not
repel the good offer of other powers in
favor of peace, and Turkey will not re-
Quire concessions.

The Des Moines Railroad Disaster.

The accident on the Rock Island rail
road was caused by the rain undermining
very strong cuIverts. A large bridge a
mile further west, was also washed out.
Had the train crossed the culvert, it would
have been wrecked at the bridge, and
none would have escaped. At six o'clock,
II bodies had been taken from the wreck
- fourteen men, two women and one
child. One of the wounded-Baker, one
of Barnum's men-has died, making Is
dead in all. Two more bodies are known
to be in the wreck, and there may be
others
The bridge was over the Little Four
Mile creek, nine miles east of Des Moines.
1t is small stream, generally quiet, and
never before known to he so high us at
present. The channel Of 5he stream was
40 or 50 feet wide, and the banks about
20 feet high. The locomotive landed at
the foot of the western side, and half
buried itself in the earth. Barnum's car
was next, and dropped into the channel.
The baggage and mail car followed. The
men in that car escaped alive, and the
lamps were not even put out. The first
passenger car pitched into the channel
where the water was Is feet deep. The
next car was plunged under this, telescop-
ing with it, and the next telescoping half
through both. The sleeping car did not
go into the wreck, and its occupants es-
capped. Most of the killed were in the car
in front of the sleeping car.
The scene at the time of the accident is
described as terrific. The rain fell in tor
rents, accompanied by wind, lightning
and violent thunder; the lights were eX-
tinguished, and the scene of terror ensu-
ing can hardly he imagined. The men
who were not injured and could get out
went to work at once to rescue the living
and wounded. They had to go a mile to
get axes to chop them out, but they
worked heroically, and by daylight, had
rescued most of the wounded. There
were many pitiful scenes. One mother
was killed between two children who es-
capped unhurt. The dead were brought
here on a train at | | o'clock. Some of the
wounded came with them. The officers
of the road were at the wreck all day,
caring for the dead and wounded. About
forty persons were injured.
