A WOMAN'S UNDYING LOVE
The Story of French Countess Who
Gave Up Fortune
And Remained Faithful to Her Hus.
band, Imprisoned for B1gamy.
General Saltwater News--Persona
Points--Social Sauce.

Thomas J. McAfee, bright Irishman Of
So summers, left his wife in the Emerald
Isle" about two years ago, and came to
the United States. In New York he be-
came infatuated with widow of 80 sum-
mers, who is said to have been French
countess. She reciprocated and they were
married. Some time after they had been
married they went to st. Paul. Thomas
had good education, and he soon pro-
cured work in an office at a good salary,
and everything passed off pleasantly for a
few months. His wife No. in Ireland
was informed of his marriage to the French
countess by her brother, who resided in
New York. AS soon as she heard this she
disposed of her effects and came to New
York. On arriving there she was told that
her husband and her successor had gone to
st. Paul. The two left for st. Paul few
days afterward and arrived in the Sanity
City one bright autumn day. Soon after
they arrived they learned where Nc
Afee was working. Wife No. 1
had Warrant sworn out for
him. charging him with bigamy and caused
his arrest the same day. He was tried and
sentenced to the state prison here for eight
years. This was about one year ago. Wife
No. 2, still devoted, followed him to Still
water, and has since resided here. For
some reason unknown to the GLOBE, he
was pardoned out by Gov. Hubbard. He
was released yesterday, and walked down
the street free man. He went straight to
No. 2's residence on First and Churchill
streets. She was there, and the meeting
was happy one.
McAfee, while in the prison. served in
the office as clerk and drew fair pay. At
the prison he was well liked and was con-
sidcred good man. While in New York
and St. Paul he went under the name Of
James hurry. His wife No. 2, as above
stated. is about thirty-four years old. She
is rather tall and slender. of the brunette
persuasion, and is passably good looking.
Her former husband, who was I'M
mensely wealthy, died several years
ago, leaving her two children and
herself the sum of 100000 per year
with which to support herself and children.
This was only while she remained single.
If she married she was to receive nothing,
consequently her marriage cut off this snug
little income. To McAfee one child was
born. Her other two, it is said, were sent
to France and are in charge of wealthy rel
atives of her former millionaire husband.
1t is not known whether they will make
Saltwater their future home or not. AS
their marriage was illegal they will have to
be married over again. Wife No. and
her brother are still living in St. Paul.

IOWA POLITICS.
The Complexion of the Next General
Assembly.


Special to the Globe.
DIES MONIES, Dec. 29.-The political
complexion of the next general assembly OF
Iowa. which will meet here on the second
Monday in January has already been given
in the GLOBE, but may be repeated. The
Democrats and GreenbackerS will have
thirty-nlne members of the house. against
forUy-eight two years ago. Bad manage
ment and all extraordinary run OF bad luck
will account for this falling Off. During
last campaign there appeared ID be raging
epidemic among the opposition for noml-
mating weak and unpopular candidates for
the house, and the ruSult. under the cir
cumStanceS, was even better than could
have necessarily been expected. In the
choice of state senators, however, the result
was much more favorable to the opposition.
Two years ago they had eleven. and this
session they will have nineteen senators.
and will make sharp contest for the
twentieth, Mr.. Case. who was elected but
counted out. As matter of course. the
public mind is now mostly divided in the
discussion and guessing as to the probable
action of the general assembly under the
present DrohibitOry law. It is question
that comes home to more people than any
other. While it is impossible to say what
will be done. there is not particle of doubt
that the ProhibitionistS are more Sanguine
of carrying their points than they were i'm
mediately after the election. From some
cause or other
LEADING REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPERS
and politicians, which were expected to
favor modification if not the repeal of the
law, are now pronouncing iu favor of a con-
tinuance of the law for two years longer,
and not few of them are openly commit
ting themselves to the demands of the Pro-
hibitionists that the law may be made more
stringent and expressive by amendments
designed to make its enforcement more
easy and certain. Some of the leading Re
publicans argue that the party cannot afford
to go back on prohibition. They say that
if this is done the more Jealous members OF
the prohibition wing will take independent
action, bolt, and thus certainly bring disas-
ter upon the party. They also con-
tend that they have already suf-
fered about all the loss they can
suffer from prohibition. They have dis
counted that loss and cannot expect to re-
gain it, and they had better continue on IN
the prohibition road they have been journey
ing on for several years past. At the same
time, other leading Republicans make no
secret of their fears that, unless the prohib-
itory law is modified or repealed, the party
may meet with disaster within the next two
years. They point the fact that the Demo-
Gratis are gaining heavily in this state, out
side Of prohibition, and express their fears
that the Republicans may lose control of
the next general assembly and have that
disaster crowned by the election of a DEM
ocratic United States senator.

The Tyndall Tribune learns from the re-
turning legislators that Huron has lost her
chance for the permanent capital of South
Dakota on account of antagonisms engen-
dered during the late session, principally in
the matter of the senatorship. They state
that Huron filed the galleries with eliques
for Campbell to cheer everything said Of him
at the expense of other candidates, The
more conservative politicians thought the use
Of Campbell's name in connection with the
seuatorship was bad policy on account of his
disrepute among Democrats at Washington.
Some of the preachers and conservators of

DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 29.--For some
time negotiations have been pending be-
tween the Duluth street railway and Min
neapolis capitalists for the purchase OF the
Duluth street railway and all its franchises.
Yesterday Samuel Hill of Minneapolis and
Judge Thomas Wilson of St Paul arrived
in the city and closed the deal, paying
500, 900 for the property. y new company
will be organized immediately, consisting OF
Samuel Hill and Thomas Lowry OF Mime
apolis, Judge Wilson of st. Paul, A. S.
Chase and G. G. Hartley of Duluth.
Samuel Hill will be president of the COM
pany. and 4. S. Chase will continue as
manager. Samuel Hill. the president of the
new company, is one of the abIest attor-
neys in the state, quite wealthy and
\ sHREwD INVESTOR.
He is the owner of a large amount of
Minneapolis real estate, and is interested in
different elevator companies and other Min
neapoliS enterprises. Thomas Lowry is
the owner OF the Minneapolis street rail-
way lines, and is president OF the St. Paul
Street Railway company. de has made
these lines what they are to-day-as COM
plete as any in the United States, and his
judgment and ability as street railway
man are uneXcelled. He will do much to
make the Duluth lines equal to any. Judge
Wilson is heavily interested in the st. Paul
street railway system, and is the owner of
the three best cable car patents yet in
vented. One Of these is to be utilized soon

THE MANAGER
of the business has held that position since
the first establishment of the old company.
His abilities have been tested and have not
been found lacking. With the increased
facilities which the new company will pro-
vide he will make the service here second
to none. In 1885 it is proposed to lay
double tracks on Superior street, thus doing
away with the troublesome switches. Four
miles of new track will also be put down.
The present line will be extended both to
the east and west ends as fast as the streets
are graded by the village. The council
will be asked at once to open and establish
grades on certain streets where extensions
are to be made. This request will no doubt
be granted promptly. A building for
stable, cars, repair shops and
Office is 10 be erected at a
cost of not less than $50 nor more
than $40, 600 early in the spring. The old
cars now in use will be taken off and thir-
teen new ones of latest designs will be pur-
chased. This will make fifteen cars in all.
One thousand head Of horses and mules
will be required to handle the business be-
fore the end of 1886. It is estimated that
the expenditure by the company for the inn
pr0vements contemplated will amount to
S175, 1000.
