- Woman Divorcsd Without Her
knowledge.

The Sacramento Union gives at
length the particulars In a strange
case of rascality which shows up
an astonishing weakness in our di.
vorce lave:
Frankie Youngs, of San Francis
co.. who was married to William
YounRs Of Sacramento. in October,
1880, In Syracuse, New York,
claims that Youngs procured q de-
cree of divorce week before last at
Fairfield, from himself for her,
without her knowledge or consent.
M. q r. O'Brten and w. r.. Hink-
son appeared as her attorneys, and
hold letters from her authorizing
the action by her to be commenced,
but she says that she wrote only
for the use of her husband, who
wanted to chow q woman here who
bears his name and has already
been held here to be his wife, that
he was separated from Frankie, so
that the Sacramento-~Mrs, Younps
you'd give himfhe management
of her stock Operations, she being
q well.to-do dressmaker here with
means. frankie came here on the
10Th, and asked an attorney
II 1t were possible for her
to be plaintiff in divorce
case without her knowledge. The
attorney told her "of course not,"
hut he telegrapbed to Fairfield,
and found that she had got a de-
cree nfrom Youpgs. This excited
the woman greatly, and subse-
quently Youngs' friends got hold
OF her and got her to sign a ratifl-
cation and to take $175 in full for
$500 Youngs had borrowed of her
when they were married, and for
which he gave his note. The wo.
man then disappeared for day or
two, aud finally turned up crazy.
He sister came from San Francisco
and took her home. She is report
ed to be still crazy. Some hold
here that she was drugged, others
that che has been on q spree and is
Q bad lot herself, and consented to
the divorce, and only kicked up q
row when she failed to get the
money on the note that was to be
forced from the Sacramento Mrs.
Youngs. The case develops the fact
that under the present law of the
State no verificRtion is necessary to
q complaint for q divorce and it Ia
possible for couple, by the schem-
Ing of third party, to be divorced
and neither of them know of it
until 1t is all over.

trict Attorney, ratification meet
ing was held on Tuesday evening,
OF which the Call says: "There
was not even standing room in
Charter Oak Hall last evening,
when the macs meeting, called to
ratify the Greenback nomination
for District Attorney, Mr.. Marian
Todd. Among those present were
large number of ladies, who
took that means of endorsing
the party whose platform de-
clares plainly in favor OF fe-
male suffrage. Mrs. Todd was the
first speaker. She made q lucid
exposition of Greenback principles,
and showed a clear comprehension
OF all the questions and issues in
volved In the present political con-
test. She is an earnest, ready
speaker, and was frequently ap-
plauded. Mrs. Clara Foltz was the
next speaker. She said she was
Republican, and knew very little
about Greenbackism. The lack of
q circulating medium in her own
pocket, she said, was the only
financial problem that she ever
gave much thought to, yet
she would advocate Greenbackism
to the extent of urging Mrs. Todd's
election. She thought there would
be no legal obstacle to her holding
Office, II elected. Messrs. Manner,
Day and Kinney,prominent Green
hackers, followed in speeches, in
which they congratulated their
party In having made a nomina-
tlon which met with such a pop
ular response as had that of Mrs.

ney." We may add that Mrs. Todd
is lady of fine talents, and full
