TWO BRUTAL HUSBANDS.
Judge Kelly Releases a Pair of
Pleading Women.

If there is one thing Judge Kelly dis
likes more than another 1t is to sit in
Judgment on divorce cases, yet such
was the task allotted to him yesterday
afternoon. He was fortunate, how
ever, in being compelled to listen
to only two tales of wOe--the
usual Saturday dose is six. The first
called was that of Lydia Ceilings
against John Ceilings. Mrs. Ceilings
tod story of mans perfidy as disgust
ing as ii was revolving. She was mar
ried TO the defendant at Chicago, Sept.
q, 1850. and lived with him until Sep
TENDER, 1885, when his conduct became
unbcaraOle and she parted from him.
She kept boarding house. One night
she went on visit, and when she re-
turned she found Miss Nicholson in
the room with her husband. When she
upbraided him for his conduct, he re-
tOrted that she was no better than the
Nicholson woman, and to add insult
to injury, proposed that she keep
an designation house. The next
witness was Mrs. Hoy. of Chicago.
who cOrrOborated the testimony of
Mrs. Ceilings. q. T. Kalmeier, of Min
neapOiS, was called, and stated that
CollingS was very fast man, and made
practice of visiting houses of ill-fame.
He did not provide for his family, which
consisted of his wife and two children.
Ceilings made proposition to his wife
to enter upon q life of shame, and
threatened her with a revolver. The
divorce was granted.
Clara Bell Kent VS.. George E. Kent
was the title of the next case. Attorney
RieS, who had been defendants council.
appeared in court and stated that he
had Withdrawn from the case. This
made it plain sailing for Clara Bell,
who took the stand at a signal
from her counsel. She is a
frail little creature, and it is a
mystery how she has stood the brutality
of her husband for the length of time
she ella ms she did. She was married to
the defendant at Davenport, To-, Oct.
u, 20. They had one child, boy,
named Roscoe, now three years old.
The defendant would go on periodical
SpTeeS, and when drunk abused her
shamefully. He choked and pounded
her and accused her of IasciviOus con-
duct. She supported herself by clerk
ing. He was SO violent at one time dur
ing fit of delirium tremens that
physician had to be called and chloro-
form administered. He threatened to
burn the house and carry the child
away.
Mrs. NJ. E. Kent testified that the de-
PENDANT frequently got drunk, and that
she had stem him strike his wife. The
decree of divorce was granted and the
custody of the minor child given to the
plaintiff.

The piratical editor and the robber of
the high seas each endeavoring to prosper
at the expense of Others There are pirates
and plenty of them, too, right here in st.
Paul; only instead Of robbing others they
unintentionally rob themselves by having
their suits made to their order, and paying
their tailor, say at the very least forty or
forty-fve dollars, when equally as good a
suit in every way can be bought here ready
for immediate wear for twenty to twenty
five dolars---the difference in price max
ing quite an extensive robbery Of ones
own pocket in the course Of year. Isn't
there food for reflection here? Think
little before you leave your measure for your

your while to first inspect our large assert
ment of Finest Tailor-Made Suits. If you

DEMOCRATS WORK.
An Open Air Rally Wilson to the
WOFkingmen.

OK lnSlnen.
The most enthusiastic campaign meet
ing yet held in st. Paul was called to-
gether at Como and Rice streets last
night by David Fitzgerald, president of
the Ninth Ward Cleveland and Thur
man club. The meeting was open
air, the attendance extremely large
and the enthusiasm unbOunded.
Col. Crooks presided, and Hon. John w.
Willis made the speech of the evening,
discussing the tariff. Chris Gallagher
followed him, and said in the course of
his remarks:
when MIR. Merriam said If you
want your wages reduced. vote the
Democratic ticket he was talking to
his strikers and not to the people of
Minnesota. When he continued, IF
you don't want them reduced. vote the
Republican ticket Freemap Lane and
Sam Nichols cheered."
Otto l.. Haese spoke in closing.
WILSON DECLINES.
Hon. Eugene Wilson has written the
follow ing letter:
Gentlemen: / have just received kind
invitation 10 address the WOTkin9men'S meet
ing at 81. Paul and regret exceedingly that a
prior engagement at WI mar VIII prevent my
being present. Allow me, however, to send
my best wishes, and TO express the sympathy
| have always felt with your efforts in the
cause of labor. AS the true basis of national
prosperity, your interests should hold
the highest place in the regard
of society and the consideration of
government. History has ever shown that
no country can have true greatness unless
the Workingmen receive n generous reward
for their just labor and a just share in bust
ness profits. Any appearance of prosperity
based on any other system always has been
and always will be fictitious and short lived.
Hoping that upon some other occasion may
have the opportunity of meeting you, am,
very truly yours. EUGENE WILSON.

HUNDREDS KILLED.
Volcanic Eruption Destroys Several
Japanese Villages.

A Volcanic Eruption Destroys Several
Japanese Villages.
The steamer City of Sidney, which ar
rived at San Francisco on the 18th from
Hong Kong and Yokohama brings
through Japanese journals particulars
of volcanic eruption of Banda San on
the 18th of July. The details of the
catastrophe come In somewhat dis
jointed form. The Choya Shimbun
dispatched a special reporter to
the scene. According to his &C.
count the villages around Banda
San heard strange rumbling sounds and
felt shocks of earthquake from the 18th.
These phenomena continued intermit-
tently for two days and two nights, but
not being attended by any serious re-
suit, no great disquietude was felt. On
the morning of the 10Th at about 8
O'Clock the smaller Banda San trembled.
and roared violently. Almost immedi-
ately afterward ashes began to fall; the
sky suddenly grew dark and the rum
bling sounds continued accompanied by
a violent earthquake and fare Of daz-
fling flame. The crest Of the smaller
Banda San appeared to be lifted bodily
upwards and then to fall again with
showers Of red mud, mingled with large
the mud fell a few inches of ashes. In
the five villages of Iwase, Yosan,
Wakamiya, Misato and Hibara, the
greater part of the houses were buried
to depth of from seven 10 twenty feet.
The state OF the bodies recovered is ter
rible. Some are literally cut to pieces
others are parboiled so that it is scarce
ly possible to distinguish between men
and women. A few corpses were found
suspended in branches of trees. Up to-
the 18th the number of bodies recov-
cred was 476. 1t is believed that sixty
one are still entombed. TIE wounded
number forty-one. Eighty-seven houses
have been DESTROYED. The inhabitants
of Inawashiro and adjacent villages
fled to Wakamatsu and other places
when the eruption occurred. The re-
port of the local official of Wakamatsu,
SAYS the inhabitants of Inawashiro and
adjacent districts escaped. The wound
ed are receiving treatment at the school
house in InawasEiro. Their condition
is shocking. Some have fractured
skulls, others broken limbs, and the
faces of few are battered so as to be,
unrecognizable. There are about
thousand people in need of help.

we're aroused from their BEDS When
they sprang out terror stricken it was too
late. They found all means of escape cut
off and the whole family persisted mis-
erably in the flames. The other inmates
of the house fled, barely escaping with
their lives, and did not think of rescu-
ing their neighbors. It would have been
impossible. AS it was, their furniture
and all their belongings were totally de-
stroyed. The building was damaged to
the extent of $1,000.
There was a delay sending in the
alarm and the firemen arrived too late
to rescue the Berg family The in
mates who fed believed they
had escaped but the fremen found
them in tEeir apartment dead from
sufocation. All were terribly burned

DIED BY THE ROPE.
Hugh Maxwell Brooks Hanged-PreI1er's

Murder Avenged.
CRY JAIL, ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 10
Hugh Brooks, alias Maxwell, was
hanged in the Jail yard in this city this
morning, thus paving the penalty for
the murder of Arthur Preller On the
scaffo!d with him died Henry Land
graf. Everything worked like machin-
cry, from the BRINGING of the prisoners
from their cells to the springing of the
trap, all of which was accomplished in
less than fifteen minutes. The process
sion to the scaffold passed between
double file of police. Maxwell was pale
and kept his eyes on the ground. His
step was steady and firm; not tremor
was perceptible. Landgraf walked
with his accustomed stolid in
difference. Neither spoke word.
They had hardly assembled the scaffold
when the black caps were over
their heads, the nooses adjusted, and
an instant later both shot down
through the death trap. Landgraf be-
came motionless at once. Maxwell's
body twisted about considerably. The
drop fell at 500.
