list.

From the New York Herald, today
In the suit brought.by Minnie (Conway y Levy to
have her marriage with Isaac Levy, the cornetist,
annulled on the ground that the defendant had a
lawful wife living at the time OF such marriage
the referee has rendered his report. No defense
no appearance made on his behalf before the
referee Counsel for the defendant says he knows
nothing OF the decision, having taken no part in
the proceedings The report has not yet been
submitted to the court for confirmation, and
although counsel for plaintiff admits he has such
report he refuses to disclose its contents without
permission OF his client. There is no doubt, how
ever that the report is in favor OF the plaintiff, and
against the validity Of the marriage.

WISCONSIN STATE NEWS.


Captain James Sanderson, who, score of
years ago, was known by nearly every in
habitant of Milwaukee, died few morn
ings ago at the Home of the Little Sisters
of the POOR. Mr.. Sandersop went to Mil
waukee from Cleveland as master of the
schooner Nancy Dousman, in 1885. He was
man whom the old settlers can not fail to
remember from his many eccentricities
and peculiarities. He was native of Mas.
sachusetts and was man of more than
average ability. At one time he was pos
sessed of large means, but he was reduced
to poverty long sore his death. A year
ago news reached Milwaukee that he was
living in poor-house i'll oregon. The pio-
neers raised a purse and sent for him, aud
secured a good home for him with the Lit
tie Sisters of the Poor. In years gone by
he was a great lover of fast horses, and the
old settlers tell many amusing anecdotes
of his track experiences. He was one of
the pioneer owners of fast horses in Mil
waukee. Captain Sanderson settled in the
town of Lake in 1886, where he built a
frame house and barn. The house is still
standing, and is now in the city, on Grove
street, south of the railroad. This was his
home until he left the city. While there
he was the owner Of all the property known
on the old maps as Milwaukee proper.
Forty acres that he sold along between
1886 and 1910 for few thousand dollars
are worth to-day $25O,00O. Many years
ago he left his family and went to Califor-
mia to start life anew. Bad luck followed
him, and reverses followed reverses until
he landed in poor-house on the Pacific
slope. His death closes an eventful career.

Brooklyn. Ny. June Is.

BROOKLYN, II. Y :, June 49,
The body of Robert Cunningham, the New.
York merchant, whose suicide was disputed,
and whose policies the insurance companies
announced they would not pay without
positive proof of death, was found Friday
floating in Butternilk Channel. When
sighted by two waternen only the head
was found in sight, a bar of lead having
been securely fastened to the vest by piece
of wire. Its weight was about ten pounds.
This left no doubt about the intent of sui
eide, and overthrow the police theory that
there had been no death at all, but only an
attempt to swindle the insurance companies.
The policies could, however, have done him
no good even had he remained alive, since
they had already been transferred to credit
OrS who have presented them for pay
ment. That he had contemplated sui
eide for several months is probable
since he had paid two premiums on policy
of $4,000 and one on a policy of $4,000
Both risks were taken by the Mutual Life
The condition of his business and home re-
lations does not even yet show any reason
why he should have taken his life, and the
insurance people say that if he proves to
have been financially embarrassed, will be
the first time that man was ever known to
kill himself in order to pay his debts.
