Trouble in the j. fferson Family.

And now it is Mary Jefferson who seeks the
consolation of the divorce court. Mary
says in her complaint that for thirteen years
she has been the faithful and loving wife of
Thomas.
That about three years ago Thomas came
10 st. Paul from the blue grass region OF Ken
lucky to accept responsible and lucrative
POSITION in one Of the (faro) banks of this city.
Mary, in the conf Ing trustfulness of her
freshness, remained al home until last spring,
when rnmor reached her that her Thomas was
naughty.
Arriving in st. Paul last April, she discov-
cred her leige lord in JaagrGnte dclicto with
me Emma Brown, with whom, for more than
me year prior, he had been living in open
adultery, contrary to the peace and
gniiy of the commonwealth, and
ret IN accordance with the statutes for such
cases made and provided. The enticing Emma
hastily vacated the premises. Thomas, in
dignant that his Eden of bliss should thus be
invaded by his lawful spouse, broke chair or
two over her head and otherwise deported him
self as brute, The long suffering but faith
full Mary, grieved at such hilarity, yesterday
laid the facts before her attorney, j. N. Rog-
ers, who Immediately brought action for alb
solute divorce with the right to resume her
maiden name.

Big Real Estate Transaction

CHICAGO, Nov. 1o.-At Crown Point, Lake
county, Indiana, to-day one OF the largest real
estate transfers ever made in this section was
recorded. Mrs. Carolina Forsyth and her
husband, Jacob Forsyth, signed warranty
deed 10 an 5000 acres tract Of land owned by
them, located at Sheffield, Lake county, and
no dering on the Illinois line at the foot of
Lake Michigan, and about fourteen miles
from Chicago. This is where the
new city of East Chicago is to be locat d,
and is also the terminal point of the
Bit Line railroad. Fo-svth receives 81 ,000,-
600 for his property and 1888 1884 was paid to-
day. The r, st comes due in one, two, three,
four and five years, in equal installments. He
made his deed to VIM. w. Greene, Of New
jersey, who Immediately gave warranty
deed 10 the East Chicago Improvement com
pany; cons Grafton, S3,000,000 This COM
pany has recently formed coalition with the
Belt Lire company. The CAPITAL stock of the
combined companies is $12,00O,000, and is

JIKELYTO ESCAPE.

The decision of Judge Cox, at Wash
ington, yesterday, in throwing the Star
Route cases out of court, is. apparently,
the beginning of the end of the prosecu
ton of these public thieves. This result
is not unexpected. 1t is in accordance
with the general rule in the prosecution
of prominent Republicans, who have
been VIGOROUSLY guilty in robbing the
government In fact there is such lax
condition of morals in this country, that
stealing from the government is not con-
sidered disreputable. Whenever man
Is accused of public theft he has
plenty of sympathizers and de-
tenders. This is especially the case if his
stealing has been on large scale. There
is no question that the overwhelming
popular sentiment in Washington is in
favor of the Star route thieves. The
gang of peculators used their ill-gotten
gains to buy Indiana at the October
election last year, and thus secured the
salvation of the Republican party and
perpetuated it in power another four
years. 1t would be ungrateful if the peo-
pie at Washington, who are chiefly sup
ported at government expense, should
not feel sympathy even with thieves,
when the continuance of their own sus-
tenance was the direct result of the judi
cious use of the means secured by the
robberies.
The statement that the court room was
filed yesterday with the friends of the
accused, and the gang were heartily con-
graduated upon their discharge, is
simply confrmatory proof of the state
ment just made. They were not con-
graduated upon their innocence, as de-
monstrated by their acqulttal, but upon
their escape, by technicality, from a
trial which was sure to prove their over
whelming guilt. There will probably be
some show made of an effort to prosecute
the thieves further, but 1t is not likely to
amount to anything decisive. The door
for their escape was opened wide yester-
day, and the public can rest assured that
they will walk off happy.

ST. PAUL LIBRARY.

No Course of Entertainments to be Given
This Understanding Committees.
The lecture committee of the st. Paul Ii
brary association, by aud with the advice and
consent of the board of directors, have to an
nounce that it has been decided impracticable
to offer a course Of entertainments this sea-
son that will crafty the cultivated tastes OF
the St. Paul public, and at the same time prove
lemunerative to the association.
The committee and the directors have very
reluctantly come to this conclusion, and only
after the closest scrutiny of the whole range
Of talent in the field, and most extended cor
respondence as to times and prices. The ques-
ton of the support of the library, however, as
d responsibility, a pleasure and pride with
the peope of St. Paul, remains the same. The
commute feel that no change Of plan on their
part in the manner of raising funds for this
institution can possibly abate one jot or little
of the interest felt in the library by
| its generous patrons Entertaining these
| views, therefore, and believing them to be
entirely correct, the committee have to an
nounce that they have districted the city for
| the purpose of soliciting subscriptions in sup,
port of the library, and assigned three direc-
| tors to each district as heretofore, when sea
SON tickets were sold for entertainments.
These directors will begin to canvass their
| respective s.ricts early next week. They will
| present the financial condition aud the needs
of the library to its friends, and accept from
them such sums, either for shares, for single
or family reading, or life memberships. or as
graiuitous offering, as each one may deem i,
his duty or pleasure to give. Additions t.
the extent of many valuable volumes have
been recently made to the library shelves, and
| it is the intention this winter to appropriate
largely of the funds raised on the plan now
adopted for the purchase of new books. The
committee believe the liberality of st. Pau
cit zens will be equal to the broadcast enlarge
ment that could be desired.

HERE'S A RUCrION.

The Chairman of the Republican County
Committee Whales AsUay at Joe WheeIOck.
ITO the Editor of the Dispatch.]
ST.. PAUL, Nov 10.-The duties devolving
upon campaign committee are unpleasant
enough without the after-clap Of malicious,
dirty fling like the one which appears in the
editorial column of the Pioneer Press this
morning. We have no objections to Mr..
Wheelock blubbering at the funeral over the
part he had IN the killing of the two candi-
dates he seems to mourn so much about; but
when he states that the county committee di.
rected their efforts for the benefit of any can.
didate on the state ticket, wish to stamp II
as malicious falsehood, which comes either
from desire to misrepreseDt by the chronic
dyspeptic of that paper, or is the last putrid
pus thrown out from the gall sore-in his Pc.
litical carcass. If the latter, every true Re.
publican has reason TO rejoice in the cleaning
perfectly willing to be the poultice which
brought it about.
1t is not necessary at this hour Of the day
to make excuses for the defeat Of any one o.
the candidates. Money was raised to pay the
expenses of election day, carriages In abund-
ance provided, tickets at every precinct on
time, friends OF the candidates at the polls
working the straight ticket and friends of the
Pioneer Press peddling splits. Noticeable
among the absent were some OF those who
were wont to be at the polling places on cleo.
ton day, but who had not got the crick out
Of their back caused by the result OF the last
state convention. To the honor ofsome Of the
friends of the defeated at the convention be il
said, they wrapped their wounds, if they had
any, in the mantle of true Republicansm
and worked for the ticket in its en-.
tirety during the day. Contrasted with the
Joe Wheelock crowd Of boltcrs it was truly
refreshing. Had this alleged great and i1fu.
entail journal supported the ticket a. they
should have done, the result might perhaI
have been different, and Meesrs. Kiefer,
Croonquist and Berkey been elected, as we'll az
the unprouounceable Krch. But this would
have brought out a class Of Republicans cans
away-men who, when they go to the polls,
vote the straight Republican ticket-and the
defeat of the entire county ticket was more de:
sirable to them than that Gen. Hubbard should
get single vote. H. W. FoorI,
