Morals in Great Cities

Some queer things happen in domestic
life in the large cities In New York, sew
eral years ago, pretty and popular young
lady married an express agent of that city.
She is thought to have been actuated by
mercenary motives, for she never pretended
to love the man, either before or after mar
riage. Before her marriage, she had quite
a number OF admirers, among whom was a
dashing young sergeant of police, aud the
fact that she had become the wife of an
other did not deter the sergeant from con-
tinuing his attentions to her. He was well
coined at her home by both herself and her
husband, and the strange part of the affair
was that neither she nor the young sergeant
made any attempt to conceal their love-
In fact they told the express agent plainly
hoS matters stood, and he interposed no
objections. He continued to well
come the young man to his home,
and finally he voluntarily proposed to secure
a divorce, so that the wife an her admirer
could marry. This was satisfactory to all
concerned; the wife thought it was very
generous, and her admirer thought so too.
and the husband felt that such course
would be an act of reparation for inducing
the woman to marry him whel she cared
for his money only. At the last moment,
however, he cha ged his mind and con
cluded to sue the police sergeant for $40, 600
damages.
1t is worthy of note that as rule cases of
this kind are confined to cities. In the II
the sta Idard of morals is lower than in the
villages and rural districts Indeed, it is
a question whether morals il the great
cities are not steadily growing worse.

that their lack of personal economy was such
that il would require state law to legislate

Pulled His Gun,

The mining situation of the Northern
Illinois coal fields is at the same stage of
progress that it held on the first day Of the
strike, with the possible exception that the
miners have offered and still offer to 90 to
work at two and a.half cent reductions
In Spring Valley the situation is becoming
critical, il is SAID, on account of an attempt
which is to be made on Monday to place
negroes in the shafts. At La Sale entire
quiet prevails, and no trouble is expected.
There was considerable trouble at No. 8
shaft at Streator ON Wednesday and yester-
day, consequent upon the attempt Of the
manager of No. 3 to start his mine with q
short gang. The men employed by the
company had pumped out the mine and
were ready to 90 to work on Wednesday,
an Englishman named Halliday, and Holz
German, surrounded the shaft and created
riot. The situation again became critical
y yesterday morning, and Sheriff Morrissey
and deputy Yockey, with marshal Hail. Of
Streator, went out to No. 3 to dispense the
men. The Sheriff and his deputy were in
some danger of being shot by Halliday, but
the pressure Of q revolver on his forehead
put an end to his ambition for war and he,
with Holz, was arrested and bound over to
the Livingston grand jury in bonds of $700,
which he furnished. Holz is still in Jail
No further trouble Is expected, as the com
paDy has abandoned the mine, and will
allow it to fill with water.

MRS. LUCINDA DoBBINs.


Shortly after six o'clock on Wednesday
morning an alarm Of fire was turned in
from the seventh ward and fifteen minutes
later another sounded from the third ward.
This employed both fire engines for an hour
and then the engineer hauled his steamers
back to the barn and sadly contemplated his
wretched harness.
Rich Heinrich was the innocent cause Of
the third ward fire. Rich had gone down
into the cellar under his mothers millinery
store to look for something or other and re-
turning with lamp In his hand struck his
head against rafter and was momentarily
stunned, falling with the lamp to the floor.
The lamp exploded and set fire to pile
of rubbish at the side of the cellar steps,
created blaze that filled the cellar with
smoke and proceeded to cremate Rich alive.
He recovered when his right eye was nearly
burned off, and with his clothing afre rushed
to the front end Of the cellar screaming muir
der and all manner of things. When he
reached the front grating he was all but
suffocated and the grating was kicked in
Just as he was about to fall to the floor. He
was speedily pulled out and soon recovered.
The fire did not extend further than the
cellar steps, but the millinery stock on the
first floor was considerably damaged by
smoke.
The seventh ward FIRE was An old ice house
belonging to John Hoban, which caught fire
on the west side. 1t had originally cost
about three hundred dollars, and the damage
done, which was very slight, amounted to
about twenty dollars.

The Great Clearing Sale.
One Of the things that has been inilue

One OF the things that has been influential
in making the house of J. E. Scott & Co. so
successful during the past twelve years has
been their great clearing up sales at the close
of each season, selling out all Of the seasons
goods, whether in whole pieces or remnant
without regard to profit. They have al.
ways preferred to clean up and if there is q
loss to take it at once.
II has been noticeable thing with the
house that the stock has always been very
clean and burdened with no expensive rem
nants and shelf worn goods Of any descrip-
ton.
The grear summer stock has been depleted
to certain extent by the immense success
of the spring and summer sales and now
that the season is at its close, all summer
goods including great unbroken lines, with
odds and ends or everything will be sold out
to clean up and make room for the great
fall invoice. j. E. ScorT & Co.
