A NEW YORK DIT0RcE CASE.

The particulars of a very strange and
disgracefuI divorce proceeding have been
recently brought to light in New York
city.
James A Flack is sheriff of New York
county, having been elected to that po-
sition after serving as county clerk. He
is past sixty-seven years of age, and a
very popular man, and considered here
tofore q gentlemen above reproaoh.
ThITty-fiVe years of his life he has been
married, and was thought to have en-
joyed as happy domestic relations as
those of the average man.
Recently a decree was entered in one
of the courts granting his wife a divorce.
The case, up to the granting OF the de-
cree, had been conducted with such Sc
crecy that the papers had not found it
cut, and the public were ignorant OF the
filing of the suit. An examination of
the papers disclosed the fact that Mrs.
Flack appeared therein as plaintiff, and
that Inconsistency was the cause alleged
against DIR. Flack.
Reporters went to see the lady, who
stood aghast and speechless at the an
nouncement that she had been granted
divorce from her husband. She de-
clared she had applied for none
and wanted none. She had been
persuaded by her son into signing paper
which was represented to her as an
agreement to a separation, but she had
not authorized anybody to apply for a
divorce for her.
1t seems that Flack, for some years,
has been maintaining a second domestic
establishment, and he doubtless found
two to be one too many. Wishing to keep
up the second be coneocted a scheme
for getting rid of the first. There being
no ground of complaint against his wife,
ne had to be made the defendant BY
some sort of hocus pocus, which the man
with political pull Is sometimes able to
work, he got the suit filed, and his mar
riage anpulled
Mrs. Flack will ask for a decree to set
the divorce aside, on the grounds of fraud
and collision. The case is an apt illus
tration of the loose methods often en-
pIoyed in the transaction of the general
business, and its outcome win be watched
with great interest.

NITH cLnSED DOOM.

A fraction of the committee of thirty-one on
the freight question, together with several
freight agents, have been in session TO- day in
the merchants exchange. As the freight ques-
ton is one in which the people are not inter-
ested, reporters were excluded and the meeting
conducted on the good old Baptist plan-close
communion, II GAgETEE's Dallas Special
From the organ of the Dallas freight
committee which came TO hand yester-
day with full report of the committee S
action, the public is Informed that the
railroad men "a Yoeated open doors to the
press and public, while the commit
tee, presumably representing the. people,
wanted star chamber session of the
conference. If the people could get at
all the facts connected with this g Dali
las freight convention - farce, the peo-
pie would doubtless agree with Puck:
''What asses we mortals be. - The
nose of the public is long and any
schemer can take hold thereon and lead
the dear people at his viii.
Why did this & Dallas freight commit
tee' want their conference with the
railroads held with closed doors? If this

Kansas CITY TESTS.

Experiments, with Satisfactory Results, on
Aged Inmates OF the Infrmary.
Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
KANSAS CITY, No, Aug, 9.-The
BroWn-SequRrd elixir has created con-
siderable commotion among the medical
fraternity here. Three weeks ago Drs.
Bergen and Adams began to treskdames
Brown, fifty=nine years old, HoaseF 5las=
sIdy, sixty-seVan, and PatrieE Mifser
seventy-one. These are inHlafasS of Che
Home for the Aged, and ares not5 a H8re
that any experiment is hssagsAnade,aS but
that the treatment is foEE0me diseasa of
the system contracted Wien young. This
Fuse is so that an honest test could be had.
The elixir is taken from young lamb
and used in distilled water. 1t is in
serted in the arm of one and the legs of
of others, and is to be kept up
FOR THREE WEEKS LONGER,
The physicians say there is no question
about the elixir producing a noticeable
effect in the old men, and they show
signs of greater yigor ana vitality,
DIR. Bergen says he is not prepared to
make any report and cannot discuss the
matter intelligently until the next three
weeks have passed, but so far as his OBJ
seryation went he believed the elixir was
only a stimulant, and that he can pro-
dHce the same effect with brandy, cocaine
and opium. He said that ne was going to
TAKE TWO OLD MEN
of about the same age and with like tenn
peraments and administer the elixir to
one and decoctinn of brandy, cocaine
and opium to the other. He believes that
the elixir will act upon person like a
hot-house on a plant; that is, forced
vitality, which viii leave the subject ex=
hausted after the effect has worn off.
The old men who have been expert
mented upon tell the doctors that if they
had only had such treatment before they
were so old they would not now be in the
Home for the aged. When three weeks
are up an exhaustive report Is to be made
to the Kansas City medical society.

The following extract from the letter
of the farmers COMMITTEES of Denton
county to County Attorney Bpttorff,
which was forwarded to Attorney Gen
eral Hngg, who advised against the COM
bination, explains the position of the
farmers and the Encouragement. The
committee, consisting of G. W. HalfoFd
M. NJ. Williams and c. Copenhaveu,
say; Now what the farmers wish to do
is to form combination or association
similar to those in Georgia, Alabama and
other Southern states, agreeing among
themselves to use and recommending
TO all cotton Taisers the use or adoption
of cotton bagging such as is HOW manu-
featured by the Lane mills of New Or
leans and other mills as a permanent
covering for their cotton. or al least un-
til jute bagging companies reduce the
price OF bagging to what it was before
the trust was formed. But after careful
examination of the trust law enacted
by the last legislature we fear that
we can not take the desired action in the
matter without violating that law which,
of course, we do not think of doing We
also admit that in agreeing to use cotton
bagging, if the agreement is carried out,
it virtually bars the jute bagging from
free competition in the markets and
does restrict trade as far as
jute bagging is concerned and is
in fact a conspiracy against trade rs to
jute bagging, and we justify our move
ments on the ground that they, s'the
manufacturers of jute bagging, first
cOnspired against US and we see no re-
dress for our grievances. Now we as
law abiding citizens do not wish to be-
come vioIators of the Law and We have
deferred taking any action in the matter
Nntil we could become informed on the
Subject.

THE Atlanta Constitution has recently

OF popular education. Day after day,
week after week it has been urging the
necessity for more schools and better
schools, and yet the New York Mail and
Express, edited by that canting Pharisee,

RAILROADS AND NOW FACTORIES.
1t would be well for people who may
wish TO better their condition to watch
Fort Worth. From the time that the
Texas and Pacific railroad reached Fort
Worth up to 1886, her growth was almost
unprecedented in American cities. in
1886 our tributary country had o severe
drouth. It continued through the winter
of 1886 and 1887. After April, 1887, the
rainfall was plentiful, but the warm
spring and summer sun absorbed the
moisture, and again in 1887 we had
short crop for want of sub moisture.
The crops OF 1883 were good. The crops
Of 1889 are the largest yield per acre ever
known in this county, while the acreage
is largely increased. Fort Worth is the
largest railroad center in Texas, ana has
more rich virgin soil tributary to it than
any city Of its size in the United States.
The changed condition that is upon us Is
remarkable, and remarkable results as
probable to follow. Our people are ina
.pressed with the importance of enesar-
-ssging manufacturing, and the same
writ that brought US the railFeaas will
