William Green was his name, but he was
nothing like as green as his name would in
dcate. He was tony young Engllsnman
and took great delight in running down this
blarsted country and its people, and in exalt-
ing everything connected with the mother
country. Not being over blessed with means,
he few months ago, took service with T. F.
Birmingham & Bro, grocers, ,436 East Seventh
street. But the servitude CALLED his British
pride, and SO he Oumeuced
bilklng the trades people with
with whom he did people for articles of wear
ing apparel for himself and wife, and TO wind
up with his preparations for return to the
old country, Saturday, morning last fore eed the
names OF his employers to a check on the
Savings bank, where the firm had money to
their credit, for 1880, which was honored.
With the money thus secured he pure hased a
ticket for Montreal-a route which would
soonest get him into Canada-and Saturday
night he took his departure for that point,
his wife, who had been sent to Minneapolis
for that purpose, being a passenger on the
train. AS he undoubtedly went directly
through, he should have reached Montreal last
night, and will probably be afoat on old ocean
to-day or tomorrow and as the forgery was only
discovered yesterday, it is pretty safe to con-
clude that he will get off scot Tree, the amount
obtained on the forgery and other syindles
being too small to warrant any attempt at ex-
tradition.

AFTER THE ALIMONY.
A Dubuque Divorce Case Revived in the
Ramsey County District Court.

Ramsey County District Court.
Hon. j. N. Rogers, attorney for Mrs.
Elizabeth Morris, of Dubuque, Iowa, COM
menced proceedings yesterday in the district
court of Ramsey county, for the recovery
from Ch aries Morris, of st. Paul, of the sum
of 81 500 alimony, awarded her in decree of
divorce, issued out of the circuit court of Du-
buque county, Iowa, by the Hon. B. W. Lacy,
presiding judge. The decree of absolute di-
vorce was granted March 10, 1880, upon the
petition of the said Elizabeth Morris, for adul-
terry and inhuman treatment. In addition to
granting the absolute divorce as prayed for,
the court gave Mrs. Morris the custody of
three minor children, the fruits of the issue
between herself and defendant, and Judgment
against Morris for the sum of $500, for
which execution was ordered to issue against
the personal property of Morris, and also that
the personal property then in possession of the
plaintiff be held by her, and that the costs of
the suit be taxed against Morris.
The complaint In the proceedings for ali
mony show that upon the filing of the decree
of divorce Morris, in an interview with the
attorney of the divorced wife, agreed, instead
of paying the alimony adjudged against him
by the court, to pay Mrs. Morris an allowance
of $40 per month, which arrangement was ac-
cepted, but that he has entirely failed to live
up to said agreement, and that since the is
srance of the decree Mrs. Morris has been
obliged to support herself and children by her
own exertions, except as aided by the county.
Mr.. Morris is now a practicing veterinary
surgeon in this city and doing a very large
business.

formed the bank claim of Nugent s. Co.
drafts were nearly $5OO,0OO the past three
months, counsel said a firm which employed
700 hands day and night, would have large
pay roll and that alone was over $500, 900 per
month.
The Nugents claim that Baldwin had their
power of attorney, and filled out their notes
to the bank without their knowledge, and
secured the money upon them. The president
of the bank, G.. A. Hasley, said there was so
much confidence in Baldwin his bond was not
even thought of until this trouble occurred.
District Attorney Keasby, investigating the
account of Nugent & Co. with the bank up to
noon, discovered the firm had drawn from the
bank on checks more than 81 800, 900 since
January 1, and he is endeavoring to find
what amounts of deposits have been
made to these drafts. He had found
deposits amounting to S150,00O in September
and in October Keasley said TO the reporter,
and he spoke very earnestly: "Nugent has
had a rope around his cashiers neck but now
l have one around his, and intend to draw it
tight"
The depositors cannot realize more than so
per cent, while the stockholders lose all and
must pay 100 per cent. besides. The stock
holders are generally men of great wealth,
though there are instances where the losses
will be severe, and in cases of some female
holders, almost ruinous.
1t is stated that detectives are shadowing
the directors and that powerful influences are
at work to prevent their arrest. 1t is be-
lieved they will be indicted for negligence, if
not something worse.
Baldwin said in making his confession: eff
l had been knave enough to use the funds of
the bank in stock speculation, instead of max
ing an egregious fool of myself, as have
done, might possibly have received some
sympathy. Men have some little admiration
for knave, but have nothing but contempt
for a fool'
CHANGED THEIR BANK.
A telegram from Newark says the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance company of Newark
used to bank with the broken concern, but
within year Theodore Mackett, president of
the National State bank of Newark was ap-
pointed treasurer of the Mutual Benefit, and
naturally he diverted the business to his own
bank, where since May 1st of this year all de-
posits of this company have been made.
