himself as becomes the running gears OF a

the bucolic LIE Dock were engaged In busi-

of few years managed to break up, owing

Last Night. -r
The machine shop of the St. Paul Foundry
and Manufacturing company was the scene,
last evening, of one of the most delightful
and unexpected surprise parties of tho sea-
son.
The affair was gotten up by the officers
and employees of the company, and was in
the interest of Mr.. r. H. De Pew, for many
years the foreman and general superlntend-
ent of the business
The fact became generally known, few
days since, thst Mr.. De Pew Intended giving
mp his position with the company, for the
purpose of going into business for himself
in this city.
Considerable regret was manifested at the
intelligence of MIR. De Pew's anticipated de-
Parture, and the officers and employees of
the company decided to signalize the loss of
80 valuable an officer in some more substan-
tlal manner than that incident to ordinary
leave-taking.
AS substantial memento of kindly TO-
gard, and for valuable services rendered, it
was decided to present Mr.. De Pew with q
handsome watch, the presentation of which
took place last evening in the presence of
one hundred employees of the company.
The presentation was made by Mr.. Oliver
Crosley, who made short and appropriate
speech which called forth happy response
from the beneficiary, both speeches being re-
ceived with cheers.
The timepiece is very handsome aud val
liable, being solid gold hunting case watch,
full jeweled and thermometer balance of the
Waltham manufaotur. The reverse side of
the case has the following appropriate in
scription:
Presented to r. II. De Pew by the officers and
employees OF the st. Paul foundry and manu-
featuring company, St. Paul, Oct. 10, 1879.
Mr.. Dc Pew will start east in a few DAYS
and on his return he will resums business
on his own account in this city.

Mary Desires to be Released from Levi.
a suit for divorce was commenced in the
district court yesterday by Mary Tate, who
would fain be relieved from marital connec-
ton with her husband, Levi Tate, and if
half the allegations of brutality are to be re-
lied upon, the separation should be granted
lnstanter. The couple were married at Mil
Waukee in 1868, since whom, it is alleged,
they have experienced domestic panae-
monlum, and according to the complaint tho
petitioner has been subjected to the most
degraded species of brutality
The defendants cruelty commenced in
July, 1871, when he beat her cruelty and
threatened to take her life. In NAV, 1874,
1t IS alleged that he assaulted her with a
butcher knife, which was followed by mani
1estatlons of an equally sinister manner.
IN June, 1878, he attacked and brutally
beat her with an iron bound dipper, knock
ing her down and making an ugly cash on
her head. The above manifestations were
followed by endearing caresses of a milder
form, and the climax was reached in july,
1873, when he is said to have turned his
wife and children out on the streets.
1t is also alleged that he aimed a loaded
revolver at her head in July, 1879, and there
upon threatened to take her life. The un-
nappY union was productive of three chill
dren, the custody of whom are PRAYED for bv
the mother, together with alimony for their
proper support.
