A HEARTLESS BRUTE.
Innumerable Cruelties Inflicted by G. O.
Henry Upon His Wife.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-For a genuine case OF
heartlessness G. o. Henry, from whom Mrs.
Emma l.. Henry secured q divorce to-day,
takes the first prize. 1t was not so much
that he delighted to punctuate and empha-
size his sentences by throwing nova
bles Of convenient size at her,
nor was it because when
she was enciente he used to brighten her
by jumping out after her in the dark and
shouting, "abooh,' gleefully admitting that
he did it to cause the death of her unborn
child. While she was asleep one morning
before the birth of the child, Henry with
great deicacy of wit made a bnndle Of heavy
bed clothing and struck her in the abdomen
with it. The child was sickly during its life,
ana early on the morning of May 30, 1881, its
troubleous unhappy little life was breathed
out on the soft spring air. The mother had
the babe in her arms and had been watching
all night to see its life tide ebb out, but &. o.
Henry slumbered peacefully. She awoke
him and told him the child was dead. "Huh,
oh-hm, oh-hm. l suppose its better off,"
said he, yawningly, and then turned over

him to breakfast He belonged to
military organization and was to
have paraded that day, it being decoration
day. He fretted and fumed and chafed
around the house all day because his wife
thought IL would not look well to tramp the
streets after band while his baby lay white
and cold in the darkened room and the white
ribbons futtered from the trout door. He
said he didn't hardly blame the baby for
dying but he'd rather it died most any
day but that. After that he used
to choke the medicine down his
wife's throat to produce an abortion upon
her. By this means she was taken violently
sick on various occasions. Finally It was
discovered that this heatless wretch had an
other wife and four children in Massachu-
sets. When charged with this offeDse he
smilipgly acknowledged it and regarded it az
a great Joke. Judge Tuley granted a divorce.

GEN. GRANTS HEALTH.
His Physicians Say There is No Hope of His
Recovery.

Recovery.
New YORK, Feb. 2S.-In regard to Gen.
Grants health Col. f. ". Grant said to re-
porter this afternoon: ''My father is very
sick now. There is no use in longer deny
ing the fact. We have made every effort to
keep the true facts from the public because
we knew that as soon as it should become
known he was dangerously i'll there would be
hundreds of letters coming in with every
mail, and this would only excite him and
make recovery less hopeful. My father has
had little rest for the past few nights He
was piand about his room for little while
yesterday and we hope to get him up again
to-day, but he is suffering con-
slant pain in the ear and
head. For any facts concerning the nature
of his disease | refer you to his physicians.
The doctors who are attending him are DR..
Fordyce Barker, DR.. j. II. Douglas and DR..
II b. Sands of this city and DIR. T. NJ.
Merker Of Philadelphia"
DR.. Douglas said: 81 am no wise respon-
sible for the rose-coored report that appeared
in medical journal last week. Two days
before the report was published had consul
tation with DR.. Sands at Gen. Grants house.
The result Of the consultation was we both
decided that the cancerous growth at the
root of the tongue was hardening and
steadily growing worse. microscopical
examination 10y an expert proved beyond
doubt the case was malignant epithelial
growth. Gen. Grant is a very sick man and
/ think there is little or no
hope that he will recover. He is
breaking down, but has displayed
much courage. We have tried to keep
knowledge Of his true condition from the
troubles to bear l have all along main
tanned his trouble is from cancerous growth
at the root of the tongue, caused, no doubt
by excessive smoking. Every time he
speaks or breathes or eats this is disturbed.
1t is difficult to treat it for that reason. There
have been times when the growth has been
temporarily checked, but it never has been ar
rested and is steadily increasing. There mas

HOLD UP YOUR HANDS.
A Bold But Unsuccessful Attempt to Rob the
Nebraska State Treasury.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 2S.-About o'clock
this afternoon three men walked quietly into
the state treasurers office, drew revolvers,
and said to Deputy Treasurer Bartlett, who
stood behind the railing:
Hold up your hands''
The muzzles of the pistols almost touched
his head through the railing. Bartlett an
swered:
"What does this mean, men! Is it fool
lug or businessYi But his hands went up
all the same.
mo talk" rctorted the man who appeared
to be the leader. "Just hand out the money
and be quick about it,"
Bartlett passed out through the railing
about 5000, saying in loud voice:
Here it is, help yourselves"
Two of the men then turned TO the door,
the third backing out covering their retreat
with cooked pistol drawn on Bartlett. The
loud tone employed by Bartlett was a signal
to Detectives Pound aud Davis, who were
concealed in an adjoining room. Hearing
it they stepped into the hall just as the two
robbers passed out of the treasurer's public
door. The detectives shouted ''halt, s"
but no attention was paid by the fleeing men,
who afterward proved TO be Griffin and Ma
guire, Griffin being Que legged was behind.
a moment later the
REPORT OF A SHOT GUN
was heard and Griffin fell on tue porch steps
with ter or twelve buckshot in his back and
right shoulder. 4 chase took in Mcguire be-
fore be could mount his horse tied to post
about four feet from the door At the
moment the gun was fired 10 the
hall the third man, who is
unknown unless to the detectives, stopped,
closed the door, and instead of passing
through turned and went through the door
behind the railing, ran across the room,
jumped out of the open window and made
lis escape. No pursuit seems to have been
made OF this mysterious individual. The
money was recovered by Pound, who re-
turned it TO the treasurer. Mcguire was
taken to Jail. 1t appears that Pound and
Davis knew the attempt was to be made and
had an understanding with Bartlett that he
should talk loud enough to the robbers to
be heard in the place Of eoncealmeDt.
The descent had been looked for any day
during the past week. The robbers had visi-
ted the capitol several times, bat some hitch
in the arrangements had deferred them
from the actual rcbberv until to-day There
is a mystery about the affair, especially
the part taken by the detectives. that has
created almost as much curiosity as ex-
element This may be cleared up when the
escaped robber is arrested, if he ever is.
Later.-The robber wounded az the state
capitol this afternoon died at O'Clock His
name was James Griffin, noted criminal,
had killed his man and been engaged in q
number of small thieFing affairs. The cap
tured man is Alvin Mcguire, another notoTi-
Gus thief, who also has scored his man. The
third man, who escaped, was in collision
with the detectives and decoyed the other
two into the daring crime.

Conditi n of CongressionaIEBusine
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-There is a good
deal of excitement to-day under the calm
exterior on the part of members Of
both houses of congress regarding
the prospects of an extra session. Ever
since the refusal by the house to pass the
silver suspension proposition, it has been be-
ieved the danger of an extra session was past
To-day it comes to the surface, however, that
the danger is by no means averted. There
has been but one of the appropriation bills
yet signed. Thirteen have passed the house
and six the senate, but this is not the worst.
Of those passed by the senate three contain
legislation that the house conferrees will posi-
lively refuse to agree to in conference. while
the senate conferrees and the senate itself
is determined not to recede from its position.
One of these is the subsidy clause in the
postoffice bill. Another is the two million
clause in the navy bill for completing the
monitors, and the other is one in the Indian
bill There is deadlock on every one of
these and members of both appropriation
committees are really good deal disturbed
to-day over the prospect that they may be able
to get through in the two days left after to-

THE w1SE CUP CHARACTERIZATION.

a
On next Wednesday at high noon the adj
ministration of President ARTHUR will come
to an end. In taking retrospect from its
tragic beginning on down to the end we
find nothing to signalize it unless it be the
social features of Washington life, which will
form an era identified with the ARTHUR adj
ministration. If the expiring administra-
ton occupies any prominence in history it
will be known as the reign of the wine cup.
Of course there are causes other than the
example set by the administration for the won
derful dissipation and consequent demorali-
cation in Washington life for the last three
or four years. Washington society is largely
made up of those who are dependent upon
government favors for support. Just now
there is profound depression because so
many cannot face with courage the uncer-
tain future. The time SO often predicted
when there must be a change is at hand, and
the thought is dark one to many minds.
Very snug it has been for some for
almost score of years, and
it is not surprising they cannot
bear the thought of an altered condition with
equanimity. And the vivacity with which
the canakin clinks is believed to be partially
due to this cause.
But a great deal is to be placed at the pres
ident's door, for his administration has been
described as decidedly fast. The president
is known to be fond of life and to go in for
enjoyment whenever the opportunity offers.
His choice little suppers have been adversely
commented upon, and the temperance people
have held up their hands at some mysterious
whisperings about punch bowl. The in
lection has spread to the parasites who feed
upon executive favor. The scandal of a
drunken society lady at an upper ten party
is of recent date. The escapades of young
HOLMAN and MALONE are fresh in the pubic
mind. Various other scandals have been
rife and unpleasant stories have been whis
pered. A great many in the very highest
places have not escaped calumny. Altogether
it must be conceded that Washington society
has been little too con vivial under the AR
THUR administration, and gayety has been
the spirit of the hour.
But with Mr.. CLEvELAND's reign there may
be expected in this, as in many other mat
tiers, new order Of things. He is eminently
man of business and fond of york, and fer
a long time will have great deal to do. Hap
PLY his capacity for labor is as prodigous as
his likin g for it. During the time he was gov
ernor of New York he scarcely had days
relaxation. The danger OF his administra-
ton is that there viii be so much to do it will
be too steady and quiet for young America.
At all events, we are not likely to have SO
many complaints as now of the supremacy
of the wine cup and punch bowl.

THE DAY IN THE Sc ATE.
The Silver Coinage Question = Iowa I'm
earned Land Grants

The Silver Coinage Question Iowa I'm
earned Land Grants.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-In the senate a
number OF reports were submitted and ap-
propriately referred. Senator Mitchell Of
fered the following preamble and resolution ::
"WHEREAs, the commercial value of silver
has so far deprecated that the standard silver
dollars coined under the act of 1883 are now
worth but 80 cents in the open market, and
whereas, the continued coinage of such de-
preciated dollars, now amounting to nearly
5000, 100000, seriously threatens the suspen-
sion Of gold payment by the government
from necessity, and the consequent Danish
ment of gold coin from active circulation !;
therefore,
Resolyetl, That the committee on finance
be and hereby is instructed forthwith to pre-
pare and report to the senate proper bill to
provide for the immediate suspension of the
coinage of standard silver dollars, and for
the resumption of such coinage whenever the
commercial value of the standard dollars
aforesaid shall rise to within per cent of
par with the standard gold dollars of the
United States.n
Objection being made to Reconsideration
of the resolution it was laid over
The senate then, on motion of Senator
Wilson, took up the house bill to forfeit the
unearned lands granted to the state of Iowa
to aid the construction of the Sioux City d
st. Paul railroad.
The bill as passed by the house declares
thatsuch unearned lands forfeitedirequires the
encouragement to institute legal proceed
| Jugs to ascertain and determine their guam
tity and provides that the actual bona fide
settlers already ON the lands shall have pref
erence of entry at the land office. For these
provisions the senate committee on public
lands substitutes provisions asserting the re-
versionary right of the United State to the
lands referred to- giving the United States
circuit court jurisdiction to determine all
controversies relating to such lands that may
exist between the United States and the
state of Iowa, or persons claiming rights in
such lands. The substitute also provides
that such of the lands as the court NAV de-
| clare belong to the United States, shall con-
stitute a part of the public domain and be
subject to his disposal as such, except that
bona fide settlers claims shall be recognized
as lawful.
Senator Plumb favored the bill and Sena-
tor Mcmillan opposed it. After a short dis
cussion it was laid over and the senate ad-
journed.

Mrs. Dudley and Short Plead Not Guilty.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The general sessions
court room was crowded this morning with
persons anxious to witness the proceedings
i'm the arraignment Of Mrs. Dudley for shoot
ing Rosa aud ''Dick'' Short for stabbing
Capt. PbeIsp. Short was first arraigned.
His face was flushed but mis- manner cool and
collected. Short pleaded ''not guilty. to the
charge Of assault and battery. The recorder
said as the case was an aggravated one he
would increase the bail from 50. 900 10 81, 900.
Short was then removed. Mrs. Dudley was
then arraigned, and approached the bar with
a quiet smile. Her counsel said BY his ad-
vice she stood mute. The recorder directed
the plea ''not guilty. to be entered for Mrs.
Dudley, and her bail was fixed at $1,000. The
accused vas then taken back 10 prison.
Neither Capt. Phelan nor O'Douoyan Rosa
was present during the proceedings.

IT is to the credit of the commissioners of
Clay county that they do not compromise a
felony by allowing their defauing treasurer to
escape the discipline he deserves, even on
the basis of his making good his shortage
unless it shall subsequently, appear that he
did it without criminal intent; and that re-
suit can hardly be reached in the light of the
reports from Moorhead. His action in regard
to the SToRLA estate could hardly be too
severely condemned.
