SET ASIDE THE DECREE.
Judge BOOkstaVer Annuls the
Flack Divorce, Secured by
Epaud

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The decree OF
absolute divorce recently granted to
Mary E. Flack from her husband, James
A. Flack, sheriff of this county, was to-
day ON her petition annulled, and all
the proceedings had before the referee
were set aside. An order to this effect
was granted by Judge BookStaver in
the court of common pleas, on the di-
Vorced woman's petition. In her affi-
davit she stated that she had never APP
piled for a divorce, and first learned of
the granting of the decree from
a newspaper reporter. Benjamin
Wright, who was ostenSlbly
her lawyer in the divorce proceedings,
came to court to-day. represented by eX-
Judge Van Worst, and his affidavit,
which was read. offered no opposition to
sworn statement was in effect that he
had been Induced to consent to be Mrs.
flack's attorney by Joseph Meeks, an
old friend, who presented him with an
authorization so to act signed by Law
yer Ambrose Monnell, counsel to the
sheriff. He had, however, never been
informed of the appointment of MeekS,
or any other person. as referee
in the action, and was entirely in
ignorance of the granting of a de-
cree of divorce, until he was made
aware of it by newspaper reports. In
annulling the decree, Judge BOokstaver
the same judge who granted it-stated
that the developments disclosed most
remarkable state OF affairs. His deciS-
ion was made as soon as argument was
finished. Ex-Judge Fullerton appeared
in court and made an effort to advance
argument against the motion to annul
the decree, but the court refused to rec
ognize his claims to appear. The judy
ment of divorce was against his client,
and Judge Bookstayer maintained that
he could make no objection to its re-
versal.
Joseph W. Meeks, who was the re-
fierce in the Flack divorce case, has re-
signed his position as chief search clerk
in the county clerks office. Had he not
done so County Clerk Reilly would have
dismissed him, owing to the decision by
Judge Bookstay to-day that the di-f
vorce proceedings were fraudulent. &

LAID UP FOR REPAIRS.
Reporters Knocked Out by Brown
SeOuard's elixir.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.-Two re-
porters who subjected themselves out
of curiosity to the Brown-Sequard
elixir, at the Medico-Chirurgical hos
pital yesterday, are both laid up for re-
pairs to-day, and one of them is con-
siderabiy scared about his condition.
He sent summons to Prof.
Henry G. Booming, who administered
the emulsive preparation, and upon con-
Guiding his experiments to-day, Prof.
Booming repaired at once to the house
and found the patient, who was enjoying
the best of good health and spirits yes
terday, in bed. His face wore woe
begone expression and he showed
traces of having slept very little during
the night. His symptoms were severe
pains in the head, soreness in the limbs
and high fever. He sorely regretted
giving remedy. The other newspaper
man who tried it failed to report
for duty also and inquiry developed the
fact that he was compelled to keep his
bed today with a high fever, pains in
the head, a painful confusion Of ideas
and severe pain in the groin and its
vicinity. This young man is also badly
scared, and reproaches himself for his
folly. The result of the experiment
with the newspaper men made Prof.
Booming extremely cautious to-day. and
he declined to administer the infection
to any patient until he first explicitly
stated that it was at his own personal
risk.
1--WE do not know what this thing is
yet" said Prof. Booming. 1--WE only
know that it comes recommended from
a very high source, and that its results
so far as learned have been, in num-
Der of cases, beneficial. What its in
fuence may be in any specific case we
cannot tell. We must have it distinctly
understood that we advise no one to un-
dergo this treatment"

OPERATORS MUST SIGN.
The Cokers' Strike May Be Pro-
IonSed indefinitely.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 13.-Reports
received this evening from the coke re-
gion are that several of the independent
operators posted notices to-day that they
will pay the wages demanded by the
new scale. and an effort will probably
be made to start some of their plants
tomorrow. 1t was ascertained to-day
that several non-union men were work
ing at Rainer's Meyer works. guarded by
Pinkerton men. The executive board.
Knights of Labor. to-day issued man
ifestO to the cookers in the C0nnellsville
region in which they state that up to
date firms controlling 10000 ovens have
signed the scale, and that many of the
remaining 5000 ovens are idle, not be-
cause the operators owning the plants
refuse to pay the wages, but because
they refuse to sign the scale. An appeal
is made for an assessment of 81 per
man to maintain the workmen who will
be idle until the scale is signed. The
posting Of notices that firms agree to
pay scale wages will not be accepted
the scale must be signed: 1.-The object
of the strike was as much for unarimitY
as for All advance in wages"

Talk of His Demise.

No Confirmation ofthe Bar-room
Talk of His Demise.
CHICAGO. Aug. 13.-The report of the
death of Fred Leslie, the English
comedian, which created a profound
sensation in theatrical circles yesterday,
had not been confirmed up to late
hour tonight. cable inquiries eliciting
no response. The authority for the re-
port, which was varionsly attributed to
John Russell, Harry Hilliard and
Soldene Powell, has been traced to a
former member of the Gaiety company,
and nephew of Gus Harris, the Lon
don theatrical manager, who announced
to crowd of professionals in public
resort, yesterday, that he had received
a cablegram concerning LeSlie'S death.
The fact that letters had been received
in the city within a week, stating that
the comedian had undergone an opera
ton for an abcess growing out of blood
poisoning, the outcome of an accident
sustained while playing an engagement
at Philadelphia, gave color to the report
of his death. In the absence of later
advices, however, the report is dis
credited.

WON BY THE VOLANTE.
Yachts Sail in a Gale at Mime
tOnka.

1t blew gale at Minnetonka yester-
day, a hard, northwest August gale.
The wind tore furiousIy down the big
lake and tremendous seas were rolling.
The lake was literally white with
snowy caps. The Excelsior Yacht club
set the day for regatta, and could not
be postponed. Only once has the wind
blown as hard this season, and that was
three weeks ago when the MinnetOnka
Yacht club held its regatta. The gale
was at its height when the start was
made. Five boats had the timerity to
go out, the Volante, Phyllis, Peerless,
Vicking and Atlanta, They had
on their working sails. All were
dOubled-reefed and some had in
three reefs. 1t was an even thing
whether the boats made the race or cap
sized. Every crew was prepared for
ducking and each man got it, although
none of the boats capsized. The Alta
lanta was the first to cross the line. She
was followed by the Volante and
Phyllis, who quickly oyerhauled and
boat did not sail at all well. This race
was between the Volante and Phyllis.
Both were superbiy handled, and the
seamanship displayed in the lattler was
remarkable. Just after the Peerless
crossed the line she shipped big
sea, and the jlbboom snapped like a
pipestem. For short distance the
Volante led, but she was quickly passed
by the Phyllis, which gained on sailing
to windwald. The little Gale boat was
sailing like witch. Going before the
wind the Volante set her balloon lib,
and she gained upon the Phyllis, but
did not catch her. The Phyllis turned
the Lake Park buoy and the Excelsior
buoy first. On the second time around
she stopped to shake out a reef, and the
Volante passed her. While taking out
the reef the Phyllis tore hole a yard
long in her main sail. Still she kept in
the race, and, with the time allowance,
the Volante beat her forty-three sec
ondS. The Viking was third and the
Atlanta last, having gone aground three
times. This is the second race the Vo-
lante has won this season.
The Hotel Lafayette gave its guests a
moonlight ride on the City of st. Louis
last night. There were fireworks and
music by Thiele's orchestra.
The full dress hop at Hotel st. Louis
last night was one OF the most success
full of the season. There was a large
party from Excelsior, which came over
in hay wagon.

ate Court.

PARIS, Aug. 13.-The senate court
this afternoon found Gen. Boulanger

to IS that the court was competent to
try the general on all the counts of the
indictment. Two of the senators re-
Trained from voting. The court then,

The Cherokee commission held formal
session to-day. The commission de-
cided to visit the Cheyennes and Arapa-
hoes and ascertain what terms can be
made with them for their interests in
the Cherokee lands. 1t is believed this
action will have considerable influence
in persuading the Cherokees to accept
the governments offer. for they have
never recognized the claims of other
Indians to the lands. When they see
that the commissioners are actually
treating with the Cheyennes and Arapa-
hoes it is believed they will be anxious
to make some compromise.
