The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1883-06-01

The troubles of Miss Kate Kane, the
Milwaukee lawyer, did not terminate
with her release from jail on Sunday
after serving term of thirty days im-
prisonment for contempt of court. On
complaint of a German reporter, she
was fined So, with the alternative OF
fifteen days in the house OF correction,
for using abusive language to the
young man. After hesitating for awhile,
she paid the fine.
A severe frost occurred Monday night
in the greater portion of Illinois. The
damage to fruit-trees cannot yet be
accurately judged, but the probability
is the fruit crop will be greatly cur
tailed. Corn suffered to a considerable
extent. Heavy rains and floods are
creating havoc in sections OF New York
and Ohio, while the unusual cold in the
South, it is feared, will affect the cotton
plant.
One of the principal subjects that
will come before the general assembly
of the United Presbyterian church,
which met Wednesday at Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania, in its twenty-fifth annu.
al convention, will be the question OF
adhering to the action of the last gen.
eral assembly in repeating the law
against instrumental music In churches
of the denomination. The probability
is the majority in favor of repeal will be
larger than it was year ago.
Ex-Judge Chester III. Krum, of st.
Louis, left his home April 20 and went
to Chicago, where he remained for few
days. There all trace of him appears
to have been lost, nothing having been
heard from him at st. Louis where sew
eral important professional engage
ments have been missed by him. Judge
Krum was trustee for two large estates
and had in his custody belonging to
them about $500, 900, and, as nothing is
known as to the whereabouts of this
money, the heirs are very uneasy and
anxious for his return.
In revenge for the refusal of the wife
of one of his partners to give social
recognition to the new Mrs. Tabor, ex-
Senator Tabor, of Denver, instituted
legal proceedings against the partner
for embeZzlement. The trial Of the
case resulted Monday in the partners
acquittal, and he will now bring suit
against Tabor for malicious prOsecu-
ton. The Denver club, the principal
social organization of the city, has ex-
PEELED Tabor, alleging as the cause his
marriage with a woman with whom the
and still retain their self-respect.
The trial of Jere Dunn, at Chicago,
for the murder Of James Elliott on
March terminated Friday with a YER
dict of acquittal. The first ballot In the
jury-room showed that eight were in
favor OF acquittal and four for convic-
ton. The third ballot brought an
agreement, and at 1880 a message was
sent to the presiding judge that the
jury had reached verdict. Within
fifteen minutes Dunn's discharge had
been made out, and, shaking hands
with the jurors, he took his departure
from the courtroom free man.
Lake shipping suffered greatly in the
northwesterly gale of Sunday night and
Monday. A number of sailing vessels
were driven ashore at Chicago early
Monday morning. The schooner Jenny
Lind capsized and the captain and
three of the crew we're drowned. The
schooner Mary Ellen Cook was disabled
early in the morning and boy washed
overheard and drowned. The schooner
Henry Berger, which was driven ashore,
will be total wreck. At Milwaukee,
six of the crew of the schooner Petrol,
believing the vessel was about to be
dashed to pieces by the waves, took to
the yawl-boat, abandoned the captain,
and attempted to make the shore, but
the boat capsized and three of the men
were drowned. The captain was res
cued. The schooner was badly dam
aged. The schooner Lille E., recently
constructed at an expense of more than
$4,000, and Sailor Boy were wrecked in
endeavoring to enter the river at Mil
waukee. Numerous other craft were
damaged in that vicinity by the storm,
and from other ports along the lakes
come reports of injuries to shipping.
