A HENPECKED HUSBAND.
Peter Olson Is Very Much Afraid
of His Wife...COurt Cuttings.

TcIcr OlSOu IS very MUCH A1ralu
of His Wife---COurt Cuttings.
The case of Peter w. Olson against
his wife, Mariana j. Olson, an action
for divorce, was tried before Judge
Villas yesterday. In this case, unlike
most others OF the same statutory
charge, the husband seeks divorce on
the ground of cruel and inhuman treat
ment inflicted by the wife. The prin-
cipals were married in Sweden the 18th
of February, 1882, and each is twenty
nine years old. They have two chill
dren still living and have resided in st.
Paul for five years. Mr.. Olson charges
for the family and that she very often
spat in his face and repeatedly threw
hot coffee on his head. She was of
very irritable temperament and
threatened to kill him while he was in
bed, so frightening Mr.. Olsen that he
lay awake nights watching what his
unruly spouse would do should he go to
sleep. In November, 1885, she hurled a
teacup against his head, which cut q
cash in the scalp from which the blood
flowed profusely. She has frequently
accused him of infdeltiy and has
called him vile and opprobrious names
in the presence of their children and
strangers. The witnesses were all
Scandinavian and the services of an in
terpreter were necessary to quote the
testimony in court. The case will be
submitted to-day, after which the case
of Mrs. Guibert against her husband,
Marcelle Guibert, the German flutist.
will be tried. This is all action for
divorce on the grounds of adultery and

MOSTLY CHILDREN.
The Loss of Life Now Placed at
From 1900 to $4,000.

JOHNSToWN, June 5.-Conservative
men are of the opinion rhal the number
of people DESTROYED will reach from
$4,000 to $1,000. This view of it is based
on many fragments of evidence. OBJ

careful to select as intelligent men and
women as could be found. Their state
ments of fact and estimates were proved
as far as they could be, and the pendu
lum of calculation seems co be
beating time in its swing from
$4,000 to $1,000. 1t must be
remembered that a very large
proportion of this loss is
frequent is the reference in the death
list to Mrs. Jones and six children"
Mrs. Smith and five children" In the
morgue the little ones lie in dozens,
where the adults are in half-dozens; but
there is and has been a much greater
difficulty in securing the bodies of the
children. Being lighter and smaller,
they have often been swept into out-Of-
the-way recesses that are almost mac
cesSible, and they are more easily car
ried away, A very great proportion of
the children have been swept down the
river, their bodies driven in under over
hanging banks, under thickets and in
other places where there is only
sparse population and where the
search is not carried on in careful and
organized manner. AS an illustration
of this, just above New Florence, some
fragments of clothing were in full view
of the path on the river bank. Hun

three days, looking for bodies, but

THE SANITARY CONDITION.
Over 100 Cases of Pneumonia


Over 100 Cases of Pneumonia
Fifty People in One Room.
JOHNsTOwN, Pa, June 5.-A house
to house canvass was ordered by the san.
itary authorities to-day, and its revela-
tons. as far as it went, were startling
in the extreme. 1t was found that
four. and even six families,
were being crowded into
single house; that as high as fifty slept
in one room; that the doors and win
dOws we're left closed to shut out the
stencil and dampnesS, and that as rule
pneumonia was gaining an alarm
ing fOOthold. DR.. CarrlngtOn, OF
the United States mar marine hos. hos:
cases of the disease in Johnstown to-
day. He ascribes its growing preva-
lence to crowded rooms, damp cellars
and exposure. The cold drizzle that
fell intermittingly to-day adds TO the
gravity of the situation. In all
cases where families were found
huddled together in damp and
ill-ventilated apartments to-day, they
were told to scatter. and, if possible,
abandon the ground floors altogether.
The greatest of all the sanitary prob
lens confronting Johnstown is how to
get the dead bodies out of the river-bed
and debris before disease has followed
their decomposition. Reasonable be-
ings, who walk through the miles OF
noisome desolation cannot keep down
the conviction that this is an impossi-
bility. The improvised hospitals are
already full of patients, and all the
physicians in the city worn and nervous
from sleepless days and nights of labor.
To-day r. l.. Sibliet. of the state board
of health, was detailed to inspect
the river towns -abont JOhnstown. He
got as far up through the wreekage and
drift as Connellsville, taking in both
sides of the river. He finds there is no
immediate danger of disease from dead
bodies except at lockwood, where an
immense collection of wreckage is full
of corpses. At other places and eS-
pecially in the vicinity of Connellsville
the food washed away everything with
it. The sanitary board decided. after
hearing this report, to concentrate their
efforts upon the thoraX of the wreck,
working from the center out.

PRESIDENT aAMM.

The election of WILLIAM HAMM to
the presidency of the city council was
both surprise and pleasure to the
bulk of our people. Mr.. HAMM has an
unbounded popularity in this city, and
he has been in public life just long
enough to convince his friends that they
made no mistake when they elected him
an alderman at large by the handsomest
vote that an aldermanlc candidate ever
received in this city, Although one Of
the youngest men that ever served in
our municipal legislature, Mr.. HANIM
is possessed of unusual ability, and has
demonstrated his capacity for admins
tering public affairs. More than that,
he is man whom you always know
where to find, and his unwavering
fidelity is one secret of his phenomenal
popularity. The compliment bestowed
upon him by his associates in the city
council was richly merited.

THE SIOUX NEGOTIATIONS.

The Sioux Indians at Rosebud are
like the others; they want to palaver,
and be sure they are getting all there is
in the thing. They have an-idea that
slowness is Indicative of dignity and
strength. They will have to be given
time, like some kinds of fish that nibble
a good deal before they bite. They will
sign, it may be pretty safely presum ed,
after they have had their dance and
their aboriginal ways have had suffi-
Gent vent. Much less time will be re-
quired at the other agencies. as sweep
at Rosebud will set the ball moving
pretty rapidly. AS matter of time
chiefly is it desirable that the work
shall be made success on the line
started. Present defeat would throw
the matter back into congress-, as but a
year is allowed for the perfection of the
law. 1t is imperative that portion of
the reservation shall be under the con-
troll of the whites and filled with
civilization in order that direct ac-
cess shall be had to the Black
Hills. There will be 100000 popu-
lation there in the early future,
and as part of the state, they must
have access to the rest without going
out of the state and through other
states many hundred miles. Should
the Indians reject the second offer, the
demand would be irresistible upon con-
gress to designate conditions to its
tickle and untutored wards. 1t is a
matter of very considerable practical
interest to the Twin Cities, as it would
open up the Black Hills to closer COM
mercial relations and build una pros
porous and productive population in
the newly-opened realm within the
business radii of the Twin Cities. Al
lowing for some bad and unbroken
] lands, it is probable that $4,000 families,

will occupy the Sioux lands within
comparatively brief period. There will
be no bonanza farms or lands held for
speculation unimproved, as only the
homestead provision is applicable.
Then there will be number of lively
towns on the new lands and the eastern
border, with commercial relations with
the Twin Cities.

The savings banks of New Hamp-
shire have $22, 800, 900 invested in loans In

they can ever get SO much money to-
gether in that sterile state, where rocks
are used to prop up the roots of things;
and the queer feature does not diminish
when they loan it to the residents on
the most productive lands on the con-

cages to these frugal jewellers among
