what Became Of Sleeper's Money.
MISSING PROPERTY OF ONE OF MRS. RoBIN
SONS SUPPOSED vIcTIMA

A Boston special, August 18th, says: oliver
Sleeper, the eighth apd latest person whom
Mrs. Sarah ]. Robinson, of Somerville, Is sus-
pected OF poisoning, has q brother living In
Rye, N. H., Charles Benjamin Sleeper. Charles
had no intimation that anything wrong
with his brother till he received a telegram an
noIncing his death. He attended the funeral
and met Mrs. Robinson for the first time. He
was told by her that his brother had died from
Bright's disease. Charles said: my brother
was supposed to be worth $4,000, but they
only found about SIC, 900. always supposed
somebody got the difference in these two
amounts. L never got cent Oliver was u
very saving man." The inventory of the prop
erty taken by the administrators shows that IL
panned out S9,554. The question is what be-
came of the remainder, presuming that MI.
sleeper was worth 100000, rs he said when he
made his will?
DIR. Z. c. Beers, who is reported being
wanted In Boston for alleged completely In tue
Robinson poisoning cases, was sent to prison
for o burglary in Birmingham, Conn.,, twenty
years ago. While In PRISON he was made a
nurse aud he probably there acquired his
Knowledge OF medicine. Alter serving his term
he went about the country peddling nostruns.
Before his imprisonment he had married u
beautiful Birmingham girl, who obtained a
divorce when he was imprisoned, but remar-
rted him when he was released.

THE IRISH LEAGUE CONVENTION

The Delegates Assembling I'm Chicago
Mrs. Parnell Present.
CHICAGO, August 1S.-Much speculation is
expressed as to the number Of delegates that
will be present at the opening of the Irish Ma
tional League convention to-day. Under the
constitution as many as $500 may come, but
II is questionable whether more than 200
will form the deliberative body. OF these New
York will come in with about 200, Pennsylva-
MIA with about 175, Massachusetts with per-
haps 100. Among lesser delegations Louisiana,
Minnesota and Nebraska figure with 80 each,
and Iowa with about 40. It Is expected that
one OF the first measures to be introduced in the
convention will be the enforcement Of the unit
rule, hence the representation of the three first
named states is Of the greatest Importance. The
Pennsylvania delegation caucus last nixht
instructed the chairman to cast the whole vote OF
the delegation in favor OF Hugh McCaffrey for
president, and Charles McClave, OF Phila-
delphia, for secretary OF the National League.
~, The train on the West Shore road bearing
New York delegation arrived at 1906 this
morning. {;,a The party were met at the depot 6y
by Mr.. Joseph Atkinson, of the New York
press, president Of the New Jersey State

A Wife's Story Of Cruel Treatment.
WHY SHE WANTS DIVORCE AND THE Gus


Cora Hardy was married to James Moriarty
in Beaver, Utah Territory, by Rev. Erastus
Smith, q minister Of the Methodist church, on
August %, 1882, and one child, Nora Moriarty,
has been the fruit OF the union. At the time Of
the marriage Moriarty was q soldier in the
United States army. His term of service ex-
pired few months after the marriage, when
he enlisted In the signal corps and was assigned
to duty in this city, and In February, 1883,
they came here to reside and have lived here
ever since. Evidently the change of residence
has brought with 1t much domestic trouble, as
to-day the wife filed petition tor divorce, ask
ing permission to resume her maiden name, be
given the custody Of the child and be granted
alimOny toward the maintenance OF herself and
child. In support of her petition she states
That since coming 20 this city her husband for
the past three years has treated her with great
cruelty; that soon after his arrival here he be-
came dissipated, an habitual drunkard and
would often be away nom home at night, com.
ing in at 2 o'clock in the morning intoxicated,
and at which times he would strike and beat
her brutaily. Finally she became afraid to
live with him and often being beaten, and on
the 18th OF last June she LEFT him and has since
supported herself at dress making. She cites
numerous instances Of cruel treatment, stating
in one case that she was knocked down and
beaten until insensible. Under the circum.
stances stated she thinks herself entitled to d.
vorce and he unit to have the care and custody
of their child
