Another Bonanza Senator in a
Bad Scr2De.

A complaint was filed in the First
Judicial District of Nevada, last Wednes-
day, by Theresa Fair against James G
Fair; cause of action, adultery on the
defendant. The plaintiff states she was
married to defendant in Calaveras
county, California. in December, 1862;
came to Nevada with him in 1855; has
lived with him until a few months ago,
when she became cognizant of certain
acts if infidelity on the part of the de-
PENDANT, since which time she has not
lived with him. The complaint says the
defendant committed adultery with half
a dozen persons named. The plaintiff
says the defendant has possession and
control of large amount of community
property, tho particulars which she
cannot state. Mrs. Fair prays Judgment
as follows:
First-That divorce be granted her
and that she be awarded the custody of
her children.
Second-That such portion ofthe COM
munity property be allowed and set
apart as shall be equitable and just. The
affair created quite a sensation in Vir-
ginia on account of the high standing in
society of both parties and the great
wealth of Fair, who is also representa-
tive of Nevada in the United States SEN
ate. The prevailing opinion on the
Comstock is that the Nevada states man
will not make defense in the suit, but
allow it to 60 by default, agreeing to such
settlement of property as may he deter
mined upon by the counsel. Gossips
also say that the amount has been
agreed upon as follows: $4,000, OO0 cash;
81 SOC, 600 real estate, at all events in
case of divorce being granted; but this
is merely rumor.

The Civil Service Commission.

Randolph B. Keim having declined to
send letter of withdrawal to the civi
service commission, did transmit one to
the president Thursday after an extend
ed interview. He is reported to have
handed it to him with the remark: 1T
have brought you the death warrant of
the civil service commission" Mr..
Keim says he relinQuishes the place
with less regret because the power Of
the commission has been contracted to
simple examination by pedagogues
through the emasculation of the rules
by the cabinet. Mr.. Lyman, who has
the place and was commissioned is q
prominent civil service advocate. It is
expected that his appointment will give
satisfaction.

Texas Defaulting Paymaster.

Texas Defaulting Paymaster.
No definite information has yet been
received at the war department regard
ing the defalcation of Paymaster James
R. Watson. in Texas. 1t is supposed
that the shortage in his accounts vii
amount to about $500, as shown by
Col. FerrePs examination and Wilson'S
confession. He has been placed under
arrest, but no court martial will be or
dered until the department is fully and
officially informed of all the circum-
stances. He was appointed from Iowa
and commissioned paymaster, with the
rank of major, Sept, IA, 1876. He was,

A Minnesota Man Swallowed by
British Detectives.

- !. Il. :. + -
New York Special: John Dewey. of
the Irish Nation, said recently that it
appeared at one time that every Irish
man out of employment in New York
had the impression that he could. make
$50 or S25 by coming to the British CON
sul's Office and making a statement re-
garding some Irish conspiracy.
II have personal knowledge of the
fact" said he, 'that Mr.. Edwards has
been fooled by men who knew nothing
whatever of Ilish revolutionary move
ments. There was one instance where
well-known Irishman of st. Paul,
Mimi, who keeps store there, recent
ly had occasion to come to New York on
business. He stopped over in Chicago,
remained a few days in this city, went
on to Boston, came back to New York,
and then returned home. AS soon as
he started from St. Paul de-
tective there notified the consul here
that this gentleman was about to start to
ireland with cargo of arms. The fact
that he got his beard clipped in Chicago
and his hair cut in New York seemed to
give color to the report that he was dis
guising himself. The hotels he staid at
were watched, and large corps of de-
tectives followed his every movement,
under the impression that he had charge
of large consignment of arms for the
south of Ireland. AS matter of fact,
this man never saw single member of
the revolutionary party. Many of Mr..
Edwards detectives have come to the
revolutionists and offered to sell the con-
sui. They said he was ready to swallow
any story. Some of the papers that
passed between informers and the con-
sui are now in the hands of the revolu-
tionists, and afford proof of English in
reference with the private rights of
American citizens"

End Of the Drive Wen Cases.

The decision of the United States dis.
trlct court at Des Moines Wednesday,
denying the validity of the Green drive
well patent, recalls group of very no
table cases, and ends tedious and hotly
contested litigation in Minnesota and
owa. The Iowa case is a test for nearly
2OO cases in Minnesota. and probably a
larger number in Iowa, which were
brought in local courts two or three
years ago by the propnetors of the
Green patent, to enforce their claims
for royalty upon the users Of drive wells.
The Iowa decision is said to carry with
it all these cases, and to free all users of
'drlve-wells from claims for royalty UNI
der the Green patent, unless reversed
10y the supreme court, tc which it will
doubtless be carried.

The report that Vanderbilt is interest
ing himself in telegraphy is coupled
with another to the effect that two
his friends are about starting company
with $40, 100000 bonds, and $lO,OOO,O00
stock. The proceeds from the bonds
are to be used in constructing COM
plete telegraph system for the United
States and Canada, and the stock is to be

Work on the Washington MOnu-

Work has been lately resumed
on the Washington monument, and be-
fore the season closes it is expected that
100 feet will be added to the shaft, which
now towers about 800 feet in the air.
Careful Investigation shows that the
massive foundation of the monument has
borne out the prediction of the engineer
in charge that it would not settle per-
ceptibly, and no fears are entertained

Congressman J. c. Burrows of Kalamazoo, Mich,
who was chairman of the committee on Territories
during tho recent session Of congress, was at the
Merchants hotel yesterday, having como on from
Minneapolis, whore he is stopping few days. being
upon trip to tho West. 7 he opportunities which
his position upon the committee have given him for
forming an opinion relative to the question of the
division OF Dakota tend to give good deal of
weight to his views upon that important subject
he was found at the hotel By PIONEER PRESS
reporter yesterday, and In reply the laters cues
tons said:
During the last session of congress made
strenuous effort for the division OF the Territory Of
Dakota on the fortysxth parallel, and the admis-
sion of the southern half Of the Territory rs State
bill was reported from my committee at the first
plish both of these objects. It was impossible to
secure either end, for this reason that there were
some fepu6licans opposed to voting upon the
was settled, and they declared they would never
vote for either proposition until the question was
settled. At the second session that matter was so
far settled as to eliminate 1t as an objection.
In my judgment. the. Territory caunot
be admitted as whole, or divided. until after the
next presidential! election. Tho Democrats. being
IN the majority In the lower house, will not consent
to the admission Of Dakota before the next pres-
deninI election BY reason Of their impression.
probably well founded. that Dakota would be Re.
publican State 30 long az either house remains
Democratic congress will not In my judgment COM
division in any FORM fol- the reason that that
would mean four Republican senators, and q double
representation at the beginning in the lower house
have no doubt that year from next winter Da-
kota can be admitted as whole, II her popu-
lation be sufficient to entitle her to one repre-
sentative The house was brought to q
vote repeatedly both upon the question
OF the admission of the south half and the division
on the iorty-si parallel. Both these questions
arrayed substantially solid Democratic opposi-
Ion. In word. for purely political reasons, no
Democratic congress will ever convent to the divis-
ion OF Dakota 10 any form whatever"
Then you think there is little prospect for
diyi2on OF Dokota OH the forty-sixth PARALLEL"
much prospect for division OF Dakota on the
forty-si1th parallel as there is for Dakotas being
removed bodily over the Canada line

at the mode of proof. congress ought to
