THE FAIR DIVORCE.
Adventures OF the Woman who Has
Captared the Frisky Senator.

SAN Francisco, Nay 14.-There seems TO
have been plenty Of evidence against Neva-
da's hosry senator. Mics Iuez Leonard, who
was on hand as a witness, was formerly s.
keeper OF house Of ill-repuie in this city,
and il one Of the parties named in the COM
plant with whom Fair is alleged to have
been too intimate. Dick Day, one of the old
confdsnts of the illustrious senator, escorted
Miss Leonard into the courtroom, where
she substantiated the charge made in the
complaint. The deposition of Fannie Smith,
another notorious woman from San Fran
cisco, was equally satisfactory in proving
of Senator Fair. No defense was
made, and in one hour the case
was closed and decree of divorce
granted Mrs. Fair. She has been awarded
81, 100000 in bonds, and property on the cor.
ner OF Pine and Jones street, and also the
residence on Pine and Taylor streets, with
all improvements. She was also awarded
the custody of the three minor children,
Virginia Theresa, Alice and Charles. The
oldest boy, James G. Fair, IT,, was awarded
to the defendant. Now, that Fair is a free
man, rumor has it that he intends to marry
one Annie Carpenter, whose name became
notorious in divorce case sever ii years ago,
the facts of which are as follows: w. F.
Smith, well-knovn oculist of this city, be-
came enamored with Annie, and went to
Arizona with her, where, through the in
fuerce OF Tom Fitch, known as "Silver-
tongued Fitch" who was an uncle to Annie
Carpenter, Smith obtained a divorce from
his wife. The latter, however, had the pro-
ceedings set aside as fraudulent when Smith
arrived in San Franci-co, and suit
followed, the result of which was
that Smith had to pay 500 month
ly to his discarded wife and was not per-
mitted TO marry. Annie and Smith have
continued on good terms until quite recently,
when Fair, it is alleged, has captured fair
Annie. She is described as being small and
plump, with doll face and china blue eyes,
without particular Accomplishments. Fair,
it is estimated, 10 still worth $40, 000,0 600,
which is sure to be an incentive for woman
with less principle than the divorced vile to
to capture the senator.

readily recognizable, and in other places
other parts OF her body were found. The
hands and feet were not Uncovered; Ran
dolPh had burned them, intending to dispose
Of all the remains by fire. Finding it wa.
not feasible, he had changed his method and
buried what had not been consumed.
Randolph was arrested in Waterbury, and
was tried and convicted Of murder, though
denying his guilt. He was sentenced TO death.
james l Reese, his counsel, in asking for
Communication OF sentence, made use OF the
argument that Randolph was strong and
good workman, and a. the State prison was
about 10 have an addition built, he could be
utilized In the work. The Legislature changed
the sentence to one of imprisonment for life.
While in jail, and after the trial, Randolph
made confession, saying that on returning
to his home at midnight be had dispute
with his wife, who struck him with poker
He then choked her, but without intending
to take her life. He said: Il choked her
longer than | meant to; when l loosenea
my grip on her neck found abe was dead.
There was nothing for me to do except TO get
rid Of the body" The case at the time caused
grest excitement In New Haven. Randolph,
while in prison, was sci tasks which no one
but person Of great strength couli perform,
but Tor several years he had been almost
helpless from paralysis

HIS WIFE,s VALUE.
Mr.. FlaheEy Wants $4,000 from n
Young Dry Goods Clerk.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Robert L. II. Fla
herty, who is engaged as a salesmsn st Her
rings safe warehouse, PSI Broadway, has be-
gun proceedings in the Supreme Court
against Joseph III. Slayter, TO recover SI0,-
600 damages for the alienation of his wifs's
affections. Judge Donshue granted an Or
der for Slayter's arrest and he was appre-
hended by deputy sheriff, and in default of
$1,000 bail wss committed 10 Jail. Flaherty
is thirty-seven years of age and a native Of
Nova Scotia. His wife, who ia about the
s,me age, was born in Newfoundland.
They were married at St. John, Newfound-
land, June 8, 1870. Mrs. Fisherty is
very handsome woman, possessing
many accomplishments and engaging
manners. Over a year ago they came
to this city, and took lodgings with Mrs.
Slayter, at the Vienna fats, POP East Seven
tieth street. Joseph r. Slsyter lived with
mis- mother, in the came house. His atten-
tions 10 Mrs. Fisherty soon became marked,
and she appeared to be more pleased with
him than with her husband, but he did not
think she had been anything more than in
Discreet. He demonstrated with her, and she
promised amendment. He deemed it best
TO take her from the house, and they procured
other apartments. Mrs. Flaherty soon after
assured her husband that young Slayter had
picions were lulled to sleep, and harmony
once more prevailed. Last April they moved
to West Seventy fourth street. Nothing hap
pened to arouse suspicion until last Sunday,
when the husband heard that Slsyter was
still living with his mother in the city, and
had frequently had meetings with
his wife. The evidence of her I'M
faithfulness was unquestionable. The
ztrangest thing about the story is that
Flaherty's informant was no other than
Slayter's mother, who had become 20 dis
gusted at her sons disgrsceful and Immoral
conduct that she decided to stop it all
hazards. 1t appears that Slayter brought
Mrs. Flaherty TO his mothers house on sew
ersl occasions after she had left it with her
husband. Mrs. Slayter was highly indign ant
at this, for she frequently demonstrated with
her son and Mrs. Flsherty, but without
avail. At length che disclosed the fact to the
unsuspecting husband. Slsyter is about
twenty-five years old. He is employed as q
clerk in a Broadway store. Fiaherty has
also begun proceedings for divorce from
his wife. They have one child, girl of six

Miller, visiting this city, was interviewed this

ON BOMEwARD WING.

From the soft South the constant bird comes back,
Faith-led, to find the welcome of the spring
In the old boughs, wherein she used to cling
Before she sought the unknown southwark track.
Above the winter and the storm-cloud's wrack
She bears the prophecy OF days that bring
The summers pride, and plumes her homeward
wing
To seek again the joys that exiles lack.
Shall we of little faith less brave than she,
Set forth unwillingly our home to find;
Distrust the steadfast stars we cannot see,
SAnd doubt the heavens because our eyes are
blind?
Above this earth what suns and systems roll
Shall He who holds them all let go the soul?

was to give them 100000, and if they failed
TO adopt them in that time the money was TO
