A DIVORCE DECREE.
Mrs. Caroline Stumph Receives Legal Sep.
aration from Her Husband. John B.

Yesterday, after several days trial, the d.
vorce suit of Caroline Stumph against John B.
Stumph came to an end. Judge Walker granting
divorce on the complaint of the wife. He said
it was impossible to give decree Of divorce on
the crosscomplaint of defendant. There
was not syllable of evidence to
sustain defendants charge of adultery.
The children were undoubtedly the children
of John B. Stumph The judge further said
that in presence of the parents he would take
occasion to remark that the children were more
worthy OF the parents than the parents were of
the children. No doubt Stumph, he continued,
suffered good deal OF provocation, but the
troubles they had endured for twenty years
were the legitimate results of hasty and ill
considered marriages, the two having known
each other only week before they were mar
ried He told the attorneys to get together and
consult the subject of property. He wanted it
understood that he made no decision upon that
question. They could come to a more salts
factory conclusion than he.
Judge Claypool asked the courts opinion as to
the sale of the liquor store, for which Stumph
had received $37, 600 in notes that had been
transferred. The judge replied that he had no
hesitancy in saying that the transfer could not
stand, and that the notes were subject to ali
Inony.
Mrs. Stumph's plea is for $15, 900 alimony.
The developed great deal of testimony
unfit for publication and much of it was shock
ing but day after day during the progress of
the trial decided interest was manifested by
persons fond of such features in divorce cases

right of shooting does not belong to an officer or
anybody else The law in cases of this
kind contemplates the certainty of get
ting the offender at any time But
when to shoot in arrests for felony must depend
upon the judgment of the Officer The prose-
cutor said that before ne heard Walshs state
ment ne believed Meek had subjected himself to
the law, but in view of that statement as largely
corroborative of the officer and others who saw
the ARRAY, lie said he did not think prosecution
could be established
The substance of what the prosecutor had said
was told to John S. Duncan by a Journal re-
porter. That gentleman conceded in this inter
probation of the law, and remarked. II doubt
II an officer, under circumstances like these is
required to call a halt"
Judge Norton said he had consultation early
yesterday morning with Superintendent of
Police Lang, who told him that the shooting was
jnstifabe. He also talked with the prosecuting
attorney who gave him view of the case con-
slstent with the prosecutors statement to the re-
porter. This was done to have Meek brought
before the grand jury, which was then about to
adjourn finally. 1t was thought by Colonel
Lang and the prosecutor that the facts did not
Justify an Indictment. The Judge continued,
Il told Lang that if he saw proper there was
nothing, so far as the present facts went, to
prevent him from continuing Meek on duty"
Police Commissioner Murphy told the reporter
that 1t the courts took cogniZance of Meek's
shooting Walsh, the board would do nothing
but if not, then an investigation would probably
be had. He thought it to be case of judg
ment, or want of judgment, if the law would
not hold the officer to accountability. Meek
might have been justfable, but whether so or
not, the question of judgment when to shoot
and when not to shoot is to be considered.
Meek went on duty last night patroling the
beat where the shooting occurred. His victim
is in very critical condition and will die
Barney Blackwell. who was with Walsh dur
ing the evening before the shooting, denies that
thew made ha
nor Walsh had any women at Mussmars saloon.

lar songs and choruses. There was much laugh
ter and applause, and this is doubtless
what the author of the piece attempted
to bring about. Mr.. Harry Morris who PLAYS
the leading part, that of Fred Holtz, is dialect
comedian of ability. and has the good taste not
to burlesque the Characterization. The COM
pany, aside from him. Is competent enough for
such work as they have to do, Miss Louise Fox

A Caution to County Officers.

The Supreme Court held yesterday, in the
case of Decatur county clerk, that the statute
prescribing punishment for officers charging
illegal fees was constitutional Other statutes
have been enacted to the same effect and were
declared unconstitutional, but this one was so
framed as to avoid constitutions, objections,
and henceforth there will be no doubt that the
law is valid and operative.

Sparks, Decision.

WASHINGTON, December - Much APP
prehension has been manifested in the
westin respect to the scope of Commits
sioner Sparks recent decision, to the
effect that homestead claimants who
have previously had the benefit of the
pre-emption law cannot commute"
their homestead claims. Members of
Congress have received many letters on
the subject, indicating a widespread
fear that this decision was to be made
retractlye, whichwould have the effect of
upsetting the titles to many claims
which had passed by purchase into the
hands of third parties. Senator Van
Wyck, on behalf of many of his con.
stituents. recently made inquiry of
General Sparks IL reference to the mat
ter, and was informed that the de-
cision will. unless reversed by higher
authority, be guide for the future &C.
ton of the land officers. but that the
Commissioner is not inclined TO go into
the actions of his predecessor, nor inter

been secured under the former rulings
of the land Office in this respect, unless
fraud is shown to have been perpetrated
in securing such claims

Too Much Pork.

New YORK, December Ton Noyem-
Der %, Frederick Weitzel, an sged shoe
maker of this city and his wife, gave a
party in honor of the birthday of their
married daughter. Matilda Lawson.
There were present, besides these, their
other children, Oscar aged 20, William
13, Anna %, Bertha aged 81, and
Amelia IL years. Among the other
guests were Mrs. Margaret Pierce, her
husband William, John Lawson. hus-
band OF Matilda, and mis- friend Moses
simon. Among the edibles was
an underdone ham, all of
which wss consumed, some eating
heartily. some sparingly, and others
not at all. Since then those who ate
much of the half-cooked pork. have
been taken very i'll, with all the
symptoms of trichinosis. Those who
ate little, less severely, and those who
aOstaned have escaped The first
symptoms developed GA the Friday
following, in the case of Mrs. Weitzei
who suffered and continues to suffer
excruhating pains and is unable to
move hand or foot. The next day her
husband came down in the same way
Monday her son William was attacked.
On the following Wednesday Bertha
began to suffer, and on Friday Oscar
took his turn, leaving Amelia and
Emma the only well members in the
family. TO day all had so far recovered
"a to be able to go about, except Mrs.
Weitzel and Bertha, who are still weak.
Outside the family Mrs. Pierce is un-
able to move, and John Lawson and
his wife were both attacked; the latter
is better, but the former is suffering
intensely. Moses Simons' suferings
began last Saturday. The Health De-
partment took the case in hand to-day.
Unfortunately, no scrap of the ham
can be found for analysis. The
physicians called, all pronounced it
malarial fever, but the general belief
now is that it is genuine trichinosis.

Goheen's hired man. While there, the
brothers learned of his presence. called
at the house and invited Knox outside.
Knox left the house, whereupon the
brothers attacked him, beating him
into insensibility and robblng him. as
Knox alleges. of $40, 900. which he made
in speculation.
