Otto Dittmar lived up to last January
with his wife, Josephine. at Spring
and Hudson streets, when he discov-
cred irregularities in his wife's con-
duet which led him TO begin proceedings
for a divorce. He has letters written
by Mrs. Dittmar in which she admits
her infidelity. Mrs. Dittmar has an
swered those charges through her law
yer, August fl. Wagner, with counter
charge of conspiracy on the part of her
husband and his friends to procure the
divorce. She married Otto Dittmar she
says. in England, in 1856. The follow
ing year they came TO New York. They
have never had any children. For
this reason Mrs. Dittmar has been I'M
happy. Her husband names as coz

written to him after he left his wife,
and which Is produced in evidence, is as

this garter, like the knitted ones worn
by our gIandmOthers. and wound round

little bit of torture, which binders the

The belt at the waist must be in the

hip, as the effect is said to be injurious

who are not supposed to have any

THE GRAIN RATE WAR.
Action OF the Joint Executive Committee
The Grand Trunks Ultimatum.

Action OF the Joint Executive Committee
The Grand Trunks Ultimatum.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Joint Exec
utiys Committee OF the Trunk Lines and
the Central Traffic Association met yester-
day TO discuss the cut in grain rates made
last week by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road.
Commissioner Blanchard, of the Central
Traffic Association, presided. Most Of the
roads were represented and much time was
taken up considering the complications
occsaODed by the B. & O.'s onslaught on
rates.
1t was finally decided to adjourn until
this morning, so as to give the Executive
Committee of the Trunk Line Association
time to hold meeting and discuss the
disturbed condition of lake and rall
freights, which are in measure responsl
BILE for the Baltimore and OhiO's action.
This committee met and talked over the
matter and then decided to follow the ex-
ample Of the Joint Committee and adjourn
until to-day. 1t was given out that no de-
cision in the matter of lake and rail
lreighis had been reached.
After its meeting this morning the TX
ecutive Committee made n report to the
Joint Executive Committee, and this lat
ter committee will now endeavor to smooth
ont the situa ion. Commissioner Blaneh-
ard said that he thought the Baltimore
and Ohio would without doubt restore
wheat from 30 cents, to which 1t was re-
duced by the cut, to %, the old rate, but
that the question as regards corn was open
to discussion.
A Chicago dispatch says: In spite Of the
fact that the Joint Committee was to con-
slider the break in eastbOund wheat and
corn rates Yesterday in New York, the
Chicago and Atlantic yesterday met the
rates made by the Pennsylvania road.
This action leaves only the Grand Trunk,
Michigan Central and Lake Shore which
have not made the rates. The Grand
Trunk also gave notice that if the matter
was not settled in New York by the ad-
vance on all lines it would extend the re-
duction to pig lead, lumber, hay and mill
feed, in addition to its previous notice OF
extension to all kinds Of grain, flour, etc.
None Of the Central Traffic roads believed
there would be settlement and are pre-
pairing to meet the Grand Trunks ultima
tum.
The Grand Trunk also reduced the
minimum on car lots of wool from Is, 600
to 10 600 pounds, making a practical cut
from about SS5 a car, the present rate, to
S55 a car, Chicago to Boston. The Grand
Trunk iustifes the cut by the fact that 1t
is impossible to get more than 10000
pounds of Impressed wool into a car, and
it was q consequent imposition on ship
pers to charge for 16, 600 pounds. Chair
man Blanchard approves the Grand
Trunks action in regard to wool.

TEMPTING THE FATES.
MURDERER MDOW CONTINUES TO FLAUNT
HIS PUBLIC SHAME.
Public Sentiment Has Become Very Bitter Against the
Fellow and He May Be Requested to
Lsays the 0ity-His Latest
Rscspades.

CHARLESTON, S. O., July 11.-Since the
rendering of the verdict Of not guilty in
the case against DR.. Mellow for the murder
of Captain Dawson, there has been but one
topic of conversation in Charleston. The
best element of the citizens felt Outraged
at the miscarriage of justice and freely so
expressed themselves. There was another
class, though, who sympathizsd with Nc
Dow and who turned his escape from the
galloWs into an excuse for rendering him
an ovation. Some people who had losth-
ing for the murderer and libertine
wanted the matter dropped aud Mellow
permitted to 20 about as if he had not
committed any crime. This course
would very probably have been pur-
sued il Mellow was man possessed OF or
dinary good sense. He seems to have lost
control of himself, or else he imagines
that he is q privileged character to do as
he pleases. The few conservative citizens
who have refrsined from expressing their
opinion are now outraged at his conduct.
Even Captain Dawson's bitterest enemies
can not Justify his conduct. BE acts like
an insane man. A high brick wall di-
vides the back lawn OF Captain Dawson's
residence from McDOw's yard. The piazza
of the second story of McDOw's house over
looks Captain DawsOn's lawn. Yesterday
afternoon Mrs. Dawson was walking on the
grass of her lawn, when she heard whis-
ting and clearing of throat and other
noises to attract her attention. She looked |
m and saw Mellow standing on his piazza
doing everything be could to attract her
notice. She at Orcs went into her house |
and closed the door. Mellow had been |
sitting on the piazza of the rsit floor OF his
house with his wife and fsther-in-law. He |
left them and went upstairs, where they |
could not see him. He remained on the |
end of his upper piazza after Mrs Dawson
had retired, still locking over into the
Dawson yard. He was soon rewarded by |
the appearance Of Captain Dlwson's
daughter, q pretty girl of IA. He again |
began his wbistling aud coughing. She
saw who II was, and ran into the |
bouse. He then took a small stone
and pitched it in the window OF the French |
maids room. She looked ont to see what
IL WAS. and saw Mellow mOtioning and
gbistling at her. She drew her head IN at
once. very much frightened. His conduct |
was 80 outrageous that Mrs. Dawson had |
a policeman sent to her residence to pre-
vent further insults. The people OF
Charleston are much wrought up over Nc |
Dow's recent conduct, and 1t is probable |
that he will be served with notice to con-
duct himself more properly, or abide the
consequences.

COLUMBUS, IND, July 11,-Kilrain and
party came from St. Louis to Seymour
over the Ohio and Mississippi road. At
Seymour the news reached the party OF
Sulliyan's arrest. The announcement
came unexpectedly and disturbed Kilrain,
who evidently feared that bis arrest would
soon follow. A conference was held, re-
sulting in their resolving to leave the Ohio
and Mississippi trsin and come to COlum-
bus. and, if rolsible, reach Cincinnati by
another route, Once there, they express
the feeling that they would he taken care
of oy friends.
When the party left the train here they
were Immediately recognized, aad a crowd
soon surrounded them. They entered a
hack and were driven TO the Bissell Hotel,
where Mitchell registered for all. He at
tempted 10 fool the PEOPLE by giving fc-
hious names. They were shown TO their
rooms, where Kilrain proceeded 10 take a
good wash. A reporter was shown into
the room and asked Kilrain for an inter
view
Damn the newspapers" he replied,
'they have ruined me already"
He was stripped to the waist and bere
evidence Of the terrible punishment be had
received. His body appeared badly swol-
len and was covered with plaster. A big
spot on the right side was blood red and
blosted. His arms were in terrible shape.
He suffered intensely as Pony Moore as
sisted him TO put on an undershirt. He

they were bound for either Shelbyyille or

miles distant and the latter twelve miles.
