In the complaint the plaintiff alleges

May, 1879, that early in 1881 she applied
for decree of separation which the court
granted her on the 9th of May, 1879;

the legal fruit of such marriage on the
14th day of February, 1881, male child
was born; that at divers times after the
birth of said child the defendant has pub

George Kicker and he further stated that
said child was the result of said adulterous
associations. The plaintiff declares all

THE GAMBLERS IN COURT.

They Enter a Plea Of Not Guilty to the
Charges Made and Get u POStpOnenlent
Claims of III Treatment.
Yesterday morning Frank n. Shaw and
Hastings AIleway, of No. 2O5 Nicollet ave-
nue., and Pat Sullivan, of ia Washington
avenue south, were arraigned before Judge
Cooley charged with keeping places for the
purpose of gambling and gaming. They
each entered plea of not guilty, and Sui
Ii7an demanded jury trial, while Shaw
and AII0way were somewhat in doubt as to
whether they wanted a jury or not. In
the absence of City Attorney Benton, the
state was not ready for immediate trial,
and consequently the cases were post
poned-that of Sullivan until Monday and
those of Shaw and Alleway until Wednes-
day.
The respective parties filed bonds in the
sum of 5000 each for appearance, and
took their departure from the court room
to breathe a little free Minnesota winter
air, after having spent a gloomy and IN
comfortable night in the limited cells at
the city calaboose. They looked rather
sober and down cast, and were not very
communicative. They expressed the de-
termination that the matter should not go
by default as in all previous raids, but that
these should be made test cases. The best
legal talent in the two cities was consulted
yesterday afternoon, with this end in
view.
In the case of the arrest of Mr.. Shaw it
is claimed that the officer who was detailed
to do the work used undue violence. Mr.
Shaw is of the opinion that an officer
should be a gentleman as we'll as should a
citizen. He asserts that not the slightest
resistance was offered. His doors were
opened up at the rap OF the
officer. He was in the room below. There
was no gaming going on at the time. At
his approach, up the stairs, the officer said !;
you're the laddy-buck I'm after"
E'What do you want?" asked Shaw.
''You are my prisoner"
''Where is your warrant?"
SHere it isl and the cold muzzle of a
revolver was thrust in his face.
He further alleges that at the police
station he entered protest against being
locked up,claiming the constitutional right
of an examination and the fixing of his
bonds. The offense charged is nothing
more than misdemeanor, and conse-
ouently he was entitled to an immediate
hearing. When he so stated he claims he
was roughly seized and thrust into a cell,
and so on. He asserts in stout emphatic
terms that his personal conduct was moth
ing which should provoke such usage.

A WILL CONTEST.

The Last VIII and Testament of Gen, Asa
GridIey of Illinois, in Dispute-Some
Racy Family Secrets to be Exposed.
BLOOMINGTON, H., Jan. 9.-To the peo-
pie of Illinois there was no better known
citizen than the late Gen. Asa Gridley, of
Bloomington. He died year or so ago,
leaving one of the most valuable estates in
the central portion of the state, and also
will, to which was added a codicil cutting
off his eldest daughter, Mrs. Ernest
Schoenecok with but a small slice of the
property when compared with
what others received. There has existed
bad blood between the members of the
family ever since the generals death. Mrs.
Schoencok has visited Bloomington sever
al times, but has never, until to-day, taken
legal action, when it was announced that
she had formally instituted proceedings
against the balance of the family for dam
ages in the sum of 100000. The declara-
alton sets forth that she was damaged to
the amount claimed by the effects of the
conspiracy. After the drawing of the
above will the plaintiff affirms that the de-
PENDANTS entered into conspiracy to de-
fraud her, and when her father was on his
death bed they, through false and fraudu-
lent misrepresentation concern
ing herself, induced him to
add codocil to the will
cutting her off. The will was duly ad-
mitted to probate, Mrs. Schoencok refrain
ing from contest owing to the existence
of provision cutting off without farth-
ing any of the heirs who endeavored to
have the courts break the testament or
alter its provisions. Mrs. Schoencok
therefore takes this method to secure what
she deems her rights. The plaintiff has
engaged eminent legal talent to prosecute
her claims, namely, the Hon. Emery A.
Storrs and j. NJ. Longnecker, of Chicago,
and Williams, Burr & Capen of this city
1t isssaid that Mrs. Schoencok is anxious
to ventilate some family secrets and secure
revenge for injuries, real or fancied, and
that everything which has transpired
within the sacred confines of the home for
some time back will be brought to light,
making a racy pot-pourri for the ear and
tongue of scandal. The family is one of
the oldest and most aristocratic in central
Illinois.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE proposal that the
republican senators should issue an ad-
dress to the country on Gambetta's death
was made by Challemel Lacour, senator
from Bouches du Rhon. On the submits
sion of the proposal to several sections of
the republican senators, the left center and
the pure left objected to it. A plenary
meeting then resolved that such an ad-
dress would add nothing to the grandeur
of Gambetta's funeral. One objection
urged was that the address would appear
like an admission that the republic was in
jeopardy. The decision not to issue an
address must be considered a rebuff for
the Gambetta senators.
PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE Russian Princess
Dolgorouski has sent letter of condol-
ence on the death of Gambetta.

cision in regard to the disposition of his
sons remains, that after his death Paris
might take his sons body.
