Considerable amusement was occasion
ed Thursday afternoon at the Champlain
Transportation company's dock, by the
matrimonial disagreement of a couple re-
siding in this city, who were quarreling
volubly over the ownership of Il pile Of
household effects, with which the dock
was encountered. 1t seems that the par
ties in question, who keep boarding
house in this city, had had little falling
out as to the degree of intimacy which the
hostess of such an establishment should
maintain toward the gentlemen under her
charge. The quarrel resulted in such Il
thorough breach of harmony between
husband and wife. that the latter
decided to decamp, and, lest her
refractory husband should be en-
numbered with too many household goods,
she CONSIDERABLY hired Il carter, and.
in the absence of her husband. transferred
their joint domestic goods and chattcls to
the Champaign Transportation company's
dock, where she left directions that they
should he shipped on the afternoon boat.
In the meanwhile the unsuSpecting huS-
band, returning home and finding his
house dcsOlate, with an unreasonable as
pect of house cleaning in every room,
suspected what had happened and speed
lily set forth in search of his unlawful
spouse, whom he finally discov-
cred Keeping watch and ward over
her goods on the wharf. Then en-
cnsued Il war of words, which resulted in
the husbands making, post-haste, for IA
lawyer Armed with Il legal warrant he
returned and claimed the property but
the Champlain Transportation company
refused to give it up, except on Il writ of
replevin. Meanwhile the boat hove in
sight, and the poor man was nearly fran
tic. lie plead, eNpostulated, threatened
and reasoned, but all in vain. The wo-
man was bound to 90, and she was bound
that the furniture should go with her,
And go it did. The deck-hauds speedily
transferred it to the boat, the bell rang,
the woman hurried aboard with her child,
and in ten minutes the busy dock was
deserted, save by one solitary figure,
which stood on the extreme edge of the
pier, looking wistfully after the Yer

background of the Adiro udacks

bridge Il fellow brakeman warned him to
look out, and soon repeated the warning.
The second brakeman was standing in
the middle of the car and thus had plenty
of room to pass under the arch At the
second warning Church said that he had
been through there enough to know what
he was doing, after which the other brake
man paid no further attention to him for
moment. Then he noticed that Church
was gone and had undoubtedly been
struck by the bridge. He gave the alarm
and the train was stopped. No traces
were discovered of the missing man, but
it was soon noticed that there was blood
upon the beam where his head must
| have struck, and it was then evil
dent that the body was in the water
beneath the bridge The train proceeded
to MddleIury, where dragging apparatus
was procured and returned to the bridge
having ON board II large reinforcement of
Middlebury men. The body was recover
ed about fifteen feet from where he fell
at about | O'Clock, Joseph BrOullct and
Irwin Piper Of Middlebury hooking it ont.
The back of the head was badly smashed
in, and the fingers on one hand much cut
and broken. The remains We're brought
to this city on the next freight train Mr..
Church was about - years of age, and
leaves Il wife and three children.

Theater and Concert Last Night-Program
for the Week.
The Athenaum Dramatic society last night
presented "Don Carlos, Infant Of Spain"
Schiller's fve-aci masterpiece, under the
management of Herr Adolf Engel. The &C.
casion was the benefit of Louis Stern, and a
large crowd greeted the performance with
approval. The play was given by the society
last winter, and the performance last night
showed that much improvement had been
made, though the first presentmen was very
satisfactory. The stage setting was advan-
tageous, there being new scenery and cos
tunes, and with these mechanical effects
the individual advancement which has been
made contributed 10 u most enjoyable whole.
A benefit will soon be given to Max RRthele,
at which ''Haus und Hanne," now In prep
aration, will be presented.
The audience at the concert last night filed
Turner ball well, there being barely any
empty seats. Among the orchestral mum bers
the weightiest was n moderate movement
from Memberships oratorio o. ''Paulus,' -
which was played with great expression. It
was followed by bright chatty little compo-
sition, 1.-The Little Prattler," by Ellen berg,
which was well received; quintet for piano
and string quartet provoked much applause,
as did also piano solo in three parts by Mr..
Pottgieser.

know that the blood of Pilot, Jr., courses
through the veins of many of our best per-
formers on the trotting turf and that there
are some writers who are so closely welded
to the pacing cross and opposed to the thor
oughbred, they are very apt to fall into the
error of writing pager" after horses name
Especially if his name appears in some of
the close up crosses, in the pedigree of some
distinguished performer.) AS the word
''pacer'' accords with their ''pet theory they
are ever ready to accept and assert it as q
fact, even when the information is very mea-
gre and comes from some one who has never
had an opportunity to become personally &C
quainted with the facts.
Those who claim that Pilot, Jr., was any

either from want of reliable information or
from an over-willingness On the writer's part
ito accept any statement that tends to sub
Fstantiate ''pet theory"

your valuable space, but l thought that one
who knew the facts ought to ''give his ex-

Commodore Kittson has received letter
from Mr.. H. L. Dausem4n of the Artesian.
Stock farm at Prairie du Chen, Wis, in
which the writer incloses the program of the
inaugural meeting of the Wisconsin Associa-
ton of Trotting Horse breeders, and calls
Commodore Kittson's attention to rule No. 6
in regard to reciprocal stake. This rule
reads as follows:
For all ive-year-olds and under, wherever bred
and foaled, owned by members of the associations
of either Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa or Dakota,
stakes of 500 each, TO close April /, when $50
will be due and must accompany nomination,
$50 due July /, and $50 due twenty days before
the meeting.
After referring to the rule Mr.. Dauseman
expresses the hope that the commodore and
others of the members Of the Minnesota
Trotting and Pacing Horse association may
have some entries. Mr. Dauseman also ex-
presses the hope that the Minnesota associa-
ton viii reciprocate by offering four-year-
old stake on the same conditions, and that
Iowa may offer three-year-old stake on ike
conditions. He thinks if this could be
brought about there would be some interest
ing colt races.

WILL THE GOVERNOR SIGN9
Two Bills on Which Executive Action is Anx-
iously Awaited.

iously Awaited.
The one bill before the governor for sigma
ture which is regarded with the most interest
and anxiety By the railroad people is the one
of which Representative Foster is the author.
It works a forfeiture of the franchise of any
railroad which transfers a case Of damages
against It from the state to the United States
courts. AS is we'll known the present prac-
tiee Of The railroads is, when any suit is
brought against them Of this kind, to try,
usually with success, to transfer the case to
the United States court in st. Paul.
By this means, If they usu-
ally defeat the plaintiff, especially
if be reside far from the capital as the costs
Of the suits are trebled If not quadrupled.
The reason for the change of venue is that IN
the county where the case originates there is
frequently such prejudice against the COM
pany as to preclude the possibility Of fair
trial
A Law directly prohibiting this course Of
procedure would be unconditional. but the
method proposed by the bill has been decided
legal by the United States supreme court.
As is evident, If it becomes ia~ it viii work
