i mashed. In the meantime Gen. Myer
went to board at the Verrnilye's, and
friends Of the husband called his attention
to the fact that the conduct
Of the couple, if continued,
would result in an ugly scandal. fermi!ye
expostulated with his wife, and explained
that the supposed intimacy was owing to
business speculatious by the General and
Mrs. Vermilye in Northern Pacific town
sites. Finally the matter became SO glar-
ing that Vermilye could not help seeing it,
and III sheer despair lie took to drink. One
fine morning last spring year ago it was
reported in the upper circles that General
Myer had obtained leave of absencs for
year, and that he contemplated a trip to
Europe; but it was never explained why he
had SO hastily disposed of all his property
in this city. A few days elapsed, and it
was reported that he had joined Mrs. Yer:
milye, who had gone east, ostensibly on
visit, and that the twain had skipped out
for Europe.
Almost heartbrokenV ermilye gave up his
position, and IN company with detective,
started in pursuit of the couple. He traced
them across the sea to Switzerland where
he brought the matter before the American
consul, who had them arrested and threat
ened to take away her child. Then truce
was declared, the condition being that
Mrs. Vermilye was to return to America,
and in order to make the thing binding
Gen. Myer gave his written parol as an
officer that he would not interfere with the
arrangements.
Once fres she did return to America,
but not for some time, and 1t is stated
nat in violation of his compact Gen.
Myer came with her. The husband re-
turned to ST. Paul and was about to COM
ulence suit for $4,000 damages against
Gen. Myer, when he got wind Of them
again aud started in pursuit.
This is the last heard Of them until the
above telegram was recsived, bat it is stat
I'd on reliable authority that Mrs. Vermilye
vas followed to Chicago by her husband,
and that, a ter ''scene," she commsnead
IN action for divorce, the charge O. I'm
oezzlement, it is said, being trumpet up
and employed as "bluff' to crush the too
persistent and inconvenient husband.
In support of the latter theory legal
gentleman of St. Paul, in commenting up
on the case last night, said that if Yer
milye had been guilty Of embezzlement
he 81. I'D have been arrested and dealt
with in Minnesota where the ofense took
place, and that the court of Illinois had no
jurisdiction to try the case.
A New York detective has recently spent
some time in St. Paul in looking up the
evidence for Mrs. Vermilye's divorce suit.
1t is understood Mrs. V. made $4,000 as
hcr share of joint speculation in Northern
Pacific town sites with Gen. Myers, the
'poir .ers" being furnished oy her husband,
who was in position to know where the
"boom towns we're located.

The Scandal In St. Pnuz.


The information contained in the above
telegram will not occasion the surprise it
might have done, had nc. the names of
the parties to the action been coupled
with matter of some notoriety before
they left st. Paul where they moved in the
first circles of society and where thew
are we'll and familiarity known.
According to a well informed gentleman
residing in st. Paul and who happens to
be the posessor of the real facts in the
case, the true 1nwardness of the affair is
quite different from the version set forth
IN the above telegram, and if given in de-
tail romance of very blooming pro
portions would be revealed. 1t
1t has been known by the st. Paul friends
OF the parties interested, that trouble has
been brewing for over a year past, and that
it was only question of time when the
storm would burst. Now that it has burst
the GLoRE feels at liberty to state, as
briefly as possible, the real facts of the
case as follows:
A few years sgo, Mr.. and Mrs. D. S. Yer
milye came to st. Paul from the east,
and both man and wife being highly &C
comp;ished and possessed of some means,
they were very readily admitted to the
best society. Mr.. Vermilye obtained a
position Of trust in the general Office of
the Northern Pacific railroad company,
and during the rounds of fashionable
season, Mrs. Vermilye, who possessed
great beauty of person and, win
ming ways, met and captivated
Gen. VIM. Myer, at that time connected
with the quartermaster's department at
this post An intimacy spru1 up, and
in short time it was whispered ABOUT that
the relations between the couple were of
character not sanctioned by society, and
that in short the parties had been mutual

forming him that Johnston paced three
heats Tuesday afternoon, in Chicago, in

that the track was very heavy aud the day
cold, the opinion of all horsemen present
was that they were the three fastest heats
ever put in by any horse to harness. The
purchase of the horse by Commodore Kilt
son depended upon his putting in
three heats in better time than the
three best heats OF Little Brown Jug. It
is considered by competent judges that

tied the purchase. Mr. Commodore takes

saying a word against my course in Office, to
seek, to show that the people disapprove of it.
To avoid such result, which l feel would be

attention as you can afford to my interests, if
you think my course on the whole worthy of
endorsement. shall hold such favor in CRATE
full remembrance. Yours truly,

Details of the Recent Fighting.

Cable Special.
General Bouet with four columns of 500
men each, three being French troops and
one of the Annamese allies with one yellow
flag, under Captain George, advanced from
Hanoi upon Phukai, the first of the line of
fortified villages held by the black flags in
the direction of Sornay. The advance was
made at o'clock on the morning of the 18th
inst, the thermometer registering 30 degrees.
Fighting commenced at o'clock and lasted
until in the afternoon. The yellow flag
and the left column under General Bouet
met with a repulse, but the center held its
ground until the right came up and drove
the enemy from the town. The French
occupied the town until evening, when they
fell back to pagoda on the
banks of the river under cover of six
gun-boats. The French loss was three
officers and fifteen men killed and about
forty wounded. During the next two days
all the French forces were Withdrawn to
Hanoi except one small detachment under
General Bouet, which remained at the
pagoda. The Withdrawal was enforced by
the inundation of nearly the entire
region. A large part of the city
of Hanoi is under water. The Sonka river
rose four feet higher than ever was known
DelOTe 1ue SulDdnkUnGnb WAS DTOkGH
in several places, and the water filled the
lowlands of the delta causing serious de-
struction OF life and property. No further
movement of the troops is probable until
October, when they expect to carry Sontay
and Bacnindh. The black flags were found
to be strongly reinforced by Chinese troops
from beyond the frontier. They were gen
orally we'll provided with Remington rifles,
and offered a stubborn resistance. The
French wounded were chiefly hit below the
knee, the Annamese firing being low and very
effective. The enemy's strength is variously
stated to be from 10000 to 10000, and is
probably greatly exaggerated. Their loss is
estimated at ], 200.
The recent operations of Colonel Badens
near Name Digne produced quiet in that
neighborhood, and the troops returned to the
town. There is little doubt that the French
| will occupy and hold the Red River delta,
but the capture of Sontay and Bacnindh,
which the enemy occupy in force, and
and which are the key of the situ-
| alton, may prove more troublesome
than was anticipated. No news has
| been received from Hue. but the enemy un-
doubtedly regard the affair OF Phukai as a
victory over the French, and this may COM
| plicate peaceful solution of the problem at
| the Annamese capital. The town and citadel
of Hal Zinong, with $50 guns, were occupied
| without resistance. This direct approach
