MRS. CARTER's SHAME.
On Hearing the Verdict She is Almost
Frustrated. -,

CHICAGO, May 22.-tSpecial Telegram to
The BEE. The vindication of Leslie Carter
and the shame of his wife were simultane-
ously proclaimed, when the jury came into
Judge Jamieson's court this morning, and re-
turned verdict finding Leslie Carter not
guilty of the charge OF cruelty, and Mrs. Car
ter guilty Of adultery. The jury arrived at this
conclusion after heated session, lasting until
$3.50 this morning, more than IL hours. Neither
Mr.. nor Mrs. Carter were in court when the
Jury came in. Mr.. Carter's brother, Ernest,
was there, and when the verdict was read he
smiled triumphantly. The fair plaintiffs at
torneys looked dumfounded, while those of
the other side were jubilant.
There was great rejoicing at Leslie Car
ter's mansion over the victory. Ernest Car
ter was driven at gallop to the residence
and was the first to tell Leslie the news.
Then, as soon as the verdict became gener.
ally known, carriages ratified up to the house,
and the friends of the defendant in the cele-
brat ed suit extended their congratulations.
But wh en- a reporter called at the Carter
home the victor refused to be interviewed.
The news of her crushing defeat by her
husband in their legal battle was brought to
Mrs. Carter by Mr.. Morrison, one of her
counsel, and she was almost Frustrated by
the shock. She had not anticipated such a
result, and the sudden reaction was too
much for her. Her nervous condition be-
came somewhat alarming, and DIR. King was
called, and she grew calmer as the day
passed. She seemed 10 suffer most keenly
over the part of the verdict finding her
guilty of adultery. motion for new trial
has been made by her counsel, and the day
for arguments will be set tomorrow. Should
it be denied, as will probably be the case,
Mr.. Carter's lawyers will ask for decree
giving him divorce and the custody OF the
child, while Mrs. Carter's counsel will take
an appeal to the appellate court, and ask for
a continuance of the present order of the
court allowing each parent to have the child
alternate months Should this request be
denied, supersedeas will be asked for from
the appellate court stopping the judgments
of the lower court.
The trial of this case has cost Cook county
several thousand dollars, but how much il
cost Leslie Carter can only be estimated
The lawyers say it certainly can not be less
than $4,000.

TWO sHnps COLLIDE.
An Ocean Disaster in Which Eigh
Lives Are host.

MONTREAL, May 90 The steamships Gym
thia and Polynesiau coilided this morning
near Long Point, q few miles east OF this
city. Eight lives are reported lost. rhe
collision occurred in tho channel opposite
Long Point. The Cynthia was a freighter
and was inward bound from Glasgow. The
Polynesan was outward bound with freight
and passengers for Liverpool. Immediately
after the collision the Cynthia sank in
twelve fathoms of water. The survivors
from the Cynthia swan ashore and the Poly
nesian proceeded to Quebec in a damaged
condition.
Following is list of the crew of the
Cynthia who lost their lives: Hugh Irving
chief cook, Of Glasgow; Alexander Nicholas,
sailor, Of Glasgow; Romance and Charles
McCracken, trimmers, James Low, fire.
man, Glasgow; James Ferron, boatswain,
Charles Blackstock, mess-room boy, and
David Young, stowaway, from Glasgow.
The Cynthia was built by Henderson, of
Glasgow, and her cargo consisted of about
$50 tons of pig iron and 500 tons of coal
When the Cynthia struck bottom there was
a report like a cannon and q shock that made
the chimneys tumble down. Though the
people on the Polynesian must have been
aware of the damage wrought, the vessel
never stopped to tender aid.
The sailors of the Cynthia claim that the
POlXneSlan steamed rlRnu uiOnR, anu tnaU IL
she had stopped she could have saved the
men who were drowned. They also state
that there were fifteen men on shore who,
although there were boats near by, did not
raise finger to rescue the drowning sailors
The pilot on the Cynthia says the Poly
nesian was not in her proper course, and to
this he ascribes the collision. The weather
wns perfectly clear, and those on board the
Cynthia were surprised to see the course the
Polyneslan was making Instead of
coming straight down the channel
she was crossing the course of the Cynthia,
which was agreeable to the marine law,
keeping on the starboard side Of the river.
When fifty feet away the Polynesan blew
her whistle to signal the Cynthia to take the
opposite side of the channel. The pilot ac-
cordingly put her about and en-
deavored to cross, but seeing it
could not be done sgnalled to have
the engines reversed. 1t was a vain effort
and the next minute the vessels had met.
After the Polynesian kept on her course the
captain of the Cynthia tried to run that ves-
sci ashore and save the cargo, but almost
| Immediately she capsized, and all tried to
make their escape as best they could.
One man was crushed TO death at the time
os the collision, and seven were drowned
while attempting TO reach the shore Mariners
| say it was impossible for the Polynesian tC
| render the Cynthia any assistance. With
| ''the way" on her, caused by the full speed
down stream, she could not have ssopped
| and even she could have stopped in the shor,
| distance, she would have been unable te
turn.

WASHINGTON, May 90 Special Telegram
to TIE BEE. The citizens of Omaha who
have been hoping that the perplexing ques-
ton of locating the site for the federal build
ing would be settled soon are to receive an
other disappointment. Supervising Archi-
tect Windrim said to THE BEE correspond
ent:
81 really don't expect Secretary Window
will render IA final decision under ten days.
The case was all brefed and taken up by
the two assistant secretaries and myself
some days ago, and we were on the point of
reaching conclusion whether we would
make recommendation TO Secretary Win
DOM when certain distinguished citizens of
Omaha demanded that there should be a
delay in order that they might be heard
This was granted, and the argu-
ments made and protests filed took
such WIDE range that the whole matter
was reopened. Assistant Secretary Tiche-
nor has ali OF tho papers and has in his mind
the conclusion OF the commission. All OF
these he intends to lay before Mir. Window
as soon as the secretary has time TO hear
him. 1t is my understanding that this will
be done some day next week Mr.. WINDOW
will want to take look into the case thor
not be surprised if even more than ten days
is required. We have all been exceedingly
anxious 10 dispose of the question early
first, for the reason that we could go ahead
in making preparations for the building; and,
secondly, IT is making great deal OF trouble
TO us and feeling among the people OF Omaha.
The secretary is now overwhelmed with
business which needs his immediate atten
ton, and cases of this kind can well stand
over for few days in order that matters
which would impair the public service, il
delayed, may receive attention"

horror stricken, tonight, when told Of the

he was at a loss to know what

right. He had no theories whatever to ad-
vance as to the probable cause of the doctor s
murder In referring to the statement made
by some of Cronin's friends as to the latter IS

nothing else for it now. He added that he
