A Belgian Scandal.

A cause celebre, which excites the deepest
interest in Belgian political and social cir
cles, began at Brussels before the Brahant
Court of Assizes. The accused was Leon
Van Dersmissen, an able barrister and a
Provincial Counselor Deputy sitting in the
House of Representatives for Brussels, who
stood charged with the willful murder of
his wife under dramatic circumstances.
Nine. Van Dersmissen, who, under her
maiden name of Cecile Revaud, was once
well known at Brussels as an opera singer,
had been suspected by her husband of car
rying on an intrigue with Viscount Duplex
de Cadignan, French noReman, who,
few months ago, was sentenced to two years
and three months imprisonment by the
Belgian authorities for swindling and forg-
erv. The motive for the murder was jeal-
ousy. The accused admitted the crime and
told the circumstances attending the killing.
An acquittal or a light punishment is ex-
pected The intrigue of the wife was well
known.

COTTAGE NUMBER TWO.

The cottage is known as No. 2, - and IS
situated within 100 feet of Robert Garratt's
private cottage, with the chaple of the little
village about the same distance on the
other side. The house is built in the Queen
Anne style, with a peaked roof, and con-
tains ten rooms. 1t sits on knoll and
commands picturesque view. A veranda
runs around the house, and the dlnlng-room
is in the rear. No cooking is done in the
house, all meals being prepared at the hotel
near by. When the party entered the house
a cheerful fire was blazing brightly on the
hearth and made pleasant contrast to the
chilly atmosphere about. The house IS
guarded by twelve detectives, who are re-
0uired to know nothing, and the admonl-
ton is hardly necessary, as not word VIII
they utter on any subject.

lands.
WASHINGTON, Aug 17.-Secretary Bay
ard has received a dispatch from the United
States consul at PERI Stanley, Falkland Is
lands, giving an account of a slip of peat,
which occurred ON the night of June 2,
causing loss of life and great destruction of
property. Extending the entire length of
the south shore of the harbor, and at a
slight elevation, is a peat-bog from which
the laboring population cut their fuel
There are no channels which drain the bog
and Large quantities OF water collects there
during the long rains, which at certain sea-
sons last for days at a time. For three days
previous to the disaster rain storm had
prevailed. About o'clock in the evening
the bog began to quake and finally, with a
noise like thunder, it broke
loose, rushing down upon the
town, carrying away everything in
its course, blocking up the Streets
and pling up the peat. in places to the
height of six or eight feet. Solid stone
walls were rent asunder and fences, porches
and iron lamp-pOsts torn away and boat
houses swept before the march. The be-
wildered and terrified population believed
their town was being destroyed by an earth
quake, and added their piercing yells and
cries for help to the indeScribable horrors
of the night. The avalanche lasted only an
hour, but its path was one of great de-
vastation. A mass of scattered peat
amounting to not less than so. 600 tons lay
over the town. A boy of and an Old man
named Patrick Heating We're lost. The
body of the latter has not yet been ex-
humed. At the date of tue dispatch. four
teen days after the slide, people living near
the inundated parts were fearing another
disaster and were constantly on the alert
The consul shared their approximations to
some extent, as the winter season, when
heavy SHOWS prevail, was at hand. The
citizens of the port had collected 5000 for
the relief OF the principal sufferers.

A FORTUNE TELLER,S WOE.

Her Husband Absorbs All Her Spare
Cash and is Conc With a Magda-
len.
Nine weeks ago Chester Teitsworth, a
young saloonkeeper at No. % East Sew
enth street, married Madame Despard, an
aged clairvoyant. Last Monday night Ches-
ter was seen in company with a young girl
yoing in the direction of the union depot,
ostensibly to take the $40 train to Chicago.
a vender of rugs saw them depart. Yester-
day the single bearing the legend,
Madame Despard Fortune Teller" was
taken down from beside the door of the
red frame house on the northeast corner OF
Minnesota and Sixth streets. This red
frame house had once been the abiding
place of the buoyant liege and his
ancient and mysteriouSly endowed bride.
Over Mr.. Teitsworth's saloon roomed
Miss Ida, alias Ida Marsh, alias Ida Tets
WORTH alias Mrs. Glenn. rather pretty, but
self-declared, Magdalen. The relations
between TeitSworth. and Ida were Intimate
long before the formers marriage.
Madame Despaid had about 81, 100 in
money, and Chester informed Ida that he
would marry the little old lady, for he
sorely needed money. With this under
standing the wedding took place. Ida re-
tanning her room over the saloon. Mrs.
Teitsworth invested $3.50 in the saloon and
took a controlling interest. Ed Jennings
had a mortgage upon the chattels
amounting to 1855. William Ban
holzer leased the two-story saloon
building to Teitsworth. Madame told
fortunes and Chester spent money.
Last Sunday night Madame DeSpard re-
seIved $40. At that time Cehster and Ida
we're arrested for breaking windows in the
yaloon while both were boisterously intoxi-
lated. Mrs. Teitsworth pawned watch
for SIS, and adding the $40 Chester had
turned over to her. bailed
HER MAYNARD LORD
out of the city lookup. Mrs. Teitsworth
reported her calamity to the police
yesterday, saying her husband had
eloped to Milwaukee with a loose
young woman, and she wanted detectives
sent after him. She took lodgings at Sc
West Fourth street, while the bartender,
Jimmie Eagan, ran the saloon in BanhOlz-
er's interest.
Teitsworth once told Eagan that he ran
away from a wife in New York three years
ago who had repeatedly tried to poison him.
He also told his landlady that he has a wife
living now in Pennsylvania, and he in
formed her that he would leave the MAD
anne" soon, as he only married her for her
money. A Mrs. Smith, a gypsy woman,
an intimate friend of Teitsworth, and who
with her daughter lives and tells fortunes
at 326 Coburn street, says Teitsworth left
on the Northern Pacific train for Dakota,
and that he would eventually reach Califor-
mia. Teitsworth's escapades have been
very frequent, and his debts many.
His landlord says he never lived
happily with the old clairvoyant. who was
always fearful that he was not true to her,
but she would not believe those who warned
her as to TeitSworth's well-knOwn charac-
ter. He was only three days out of the
workbouSe when he married Madame Des-
pard.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.


a N1mne8pOhs Faper Denounced.
To the Editor of the Globe.
EVANSVILLE, Mimi, Aug. 17.-Recently
there appeared in GAINESVILLE a representative
of the Regulator, a Minneapolis dead-beat
paper. A large number of names of persons
residing in this vicinity were gathered and
subsequently published, in disguised man
ner, as dead-beats. The phraseoiogy of the
matter appearing with the names leaves the
publisher q convenient technical loop-hole
through which TO crawl i'll case of prosecu-
ton. The implied meaning, however, is per-
fectly plaiu. To say the least, the whole
scheme is one of blackmal and should be de-
nounced in the most vigorous aud un-
equivocal manner not only by
the people, but by the press. The
concern is illegitimate, the business that of
sneaking coward and the results mon
strous fabrication on the names of many rep
utable business men. As an instance Of this
we note the fact that in the last publication
there appeared the name of Fl. o. Thrall of
this place. Mr.. Thrall is as honest as the day is
long, his word is as good as bis note, and what
ever is honestly against him can be collected
by due process of law. Other names appear
who are not deadbeats by any means, and the
party or parties wno are responsible for their
publication, in common with the blackmal-
ing concern, should be justly execfated be-
fore an indignant public. We have no objec-
lions to condemning a genuine deadbeat-ope
who gets in debt for the express purpose of
cheating his creditors, but to make wholesale
accusations against reputable and good cti-
zens is carrying the thing altogether too far.
