hrs. Woolsey Airs Her His In
the District Court.
Susan Woolsey,w who claims to be sick,
sore and bleeding, from the abuse here
after alleged, applied to the district
court for divorce from her husband,
William j. Woolsey. yesterday after
noon. The story, if true, and Mrs.:
WOolsey sWears it is, is pitiable tale
Of the patient sufferings Of fifteen years
of wretched life. The complaint re-
cites that they were married at Yonkers,
N. Y, about Nov. Is, 1886, and that they
have lived together as husband and wife
since, fifteen years of which they re-
sided in this city. A few years after
their marriage, Mr.. Woolsey is alleged
to have commenced a systematic and
continual persecution of Mrs. WOolsey,
after driving her from the house, threat
ening to kill her, and hinging all sorts of
vile epthets at her. His treatment of
her was barbarOus, cruel and inhumaG.
and has been SO for the
past fifteen years. Not content
with cursing and threatening, he
kicked and beat her in such
a manner as to compel her to seek
refuge among the neighbors. Obscene
language was his only uGteidncoSs anu
with all this, Mrs. Woolsey claims she
endured much more. As specific
charges she refers to the 14th. 18th and
Goth days of last March. On the first of
these days, she AYERS, he drove her out
of the house; the second he violently
assaulted and abused her in divers
ways, and on the last date he pounded
her until she bled from the wounds he
inflicted, all of which have left marks
of lasting evidence of his brutal treat
ment. She fears that to continue her
married relation with Mr.. Woolsey
would be virtually counting premature
death or insanity. She informs the
court that Mr.. Woolsey OWNS lot 5,
block 2, of Dayton'S addition to st.
Paul worth about $4,000, and from
which he derives a monthly income of
S175. She is solely dependent upon her
own efforts for support, and asks that
the court award her alimony, fees for
prosecuting the present suit, and grant
her an absolute divorce with such other
and further relief as is deemed just.

About z O'Clock last Saturday night a
woman of perhaps thirty years, plainly
attired in black, applied at the Nicollet
house, on Sixth street. for lodging.
stating that she might stay three or
four days. Without registering, she
was assigned room. She remained
most of the time in her room and at
tracted little attention from the other
guests. Yesterday afternoon Nels
Swanson, one of the proprietOrs of the
house, was papering the cell
ing of the hallway from a
stepladder standing opposite the
room occupied by her. Happening to
glance over the open transom into the
room, his gaze met sight which startled
him. On the bed lay newly born babe.
with what to him appeared to be a
handkerchief drawn tightly around its
neck, while the woman, very scantily
clad. stood near by. He at once called
his brother, and. after some delay, an
not until she had wrapped the child in a
foot of the bed. She at first denied
it's existence, but subsequently
opened the bundle and exposed the
child, which was dead. DR.. Richie
and Patrolman Lawton were at once
summoned. and the officer called Dep
uty Coroner Amoss. On examining
the body of the child. Dr.. Richie stated
that it had been born alive and that the
evidences were that it had been smoth-
cred. He considered it clear case of
infanticiGe. Upon his arrival, DR..
Amoss ordered Mccarthy & Donnelly
to take charge OF the body and will
probably hold an inquest. The woman,
who is in very precariouS condition,
will be kept at the hotel until she can
be safely removed to the city hos
pital. She gave her name as
Mary Sullivan, stated that she was
unmarried, and that the father of her
offspring was street lamplighter. who
boarded at 26 East Sixth street, where
she had worked as domestic until
about three months ago, when she left
the city to visit her parents in Wiscon-
sin. The name of her betrayer or the
home of her parents she refused to
state. She also alleged that some days
ago she applied for admittance to the
city hospital, but was refused ON the
ground of being nonresident. In
quiry was made at the place where she
claimed to have worked, but nothing
was known of her there. She is APP
parently all American, is we'll educated

Bogus kilograms Sent to. Gov.
Merriam in New York During
the Street Car Strike.
During his recent visit to New York,
and while the street car strike was In
active operation, Gov. Merriam was
somewhat discounted to receive tel0r
gram, purporting to come from the
mayor OF Minneapolis, that seri0(s
rioting had occurred in that city, and
requesting the militia to be called out.
This was followed by another telo.
gram, bearing the signature Of Private
Secretary Elliot, asking if he should
order the militia out. Gov. Merriam
was in dilemma, and would probably
have fallen in the trap had not the
receipt of third telegram convinced
him that the kilograms were bogus
The last was represented as coming
from the mayor Of st. Paul, and In
formed the governor there was serious
rioting in this city. The author or
authors of these messages naturally
considered they were having little
fun; that it was all huge joke. The
perpetrators of such jokes are only,fit
for three places-St. Peter, Rochester
or Fergus Falls insane asylums.

The President OF the Board of
Education Continues to Play

The job printing contracts. which
have been the nightmare Of certain
members of the board of education for
several weeks, caused another long dis
cussion at their meeting last night.
The matter was brought up in resolu-
ton by Inspector Giesen, providing that
the secretary be instructed to prepare
schedule of the printing needed by
the board during the coming
year, and that bids be advertised
for and contract for the
work awarded to the lowest responsible
bidder. President Postlethwaite did
most of the talking and kept the other
members busy listening. From words
occasionally put in by them it was ap-
parent that some of them had ideas of
their own concerning the printing, but
those ideas were kept well out of sight
during the session. President Postle-
thwaite opposed Mr.. Giesen's resolution,
and was in favor of leaving the matter
to the discretion of the committee OH
printing, trusting to its honesty to sub
nit the work needed to re-
sponsible firms for estimates. Inspector
Maxfeld asked whether the committee
had been getting the work done in this
manner during the past year. but the
president could not inform him. and as
another inspector arose TO ask ques-
ton. a vote was taken on motion re-
ferring Mr.. Giesen's resolution to the
committee on printing. The motion
prevailed. A communication was read
from J. j. McCardy, representing the
Grand Army Of the Republic, asking
that the public schools take part
in the Memorial day exercises.
The communication was referred
to Superintendent Gilbert, with power
to act. The resignation Of A. r. Ko-
huke, teacher of German in the West
side schools. was received and accepted.
A contract for the construction of the
Nash street school house was awarded
to Rumble & King, at s32,79O. A con
tract for putting closets, steam heating
and ventilating apparatus into the
building was also awarded to the Rut-
tan company, at $2,5S3.

Murray's Rejoinder Filed.

Attorneys representing City Attor-
ney Murray in the quo warranto pro-
ceedings, ex rel. Oscar c.. Holman VS..
William P. Murray, yesterday filed the
brief for respondent in the supreme
court In their argument the attorneys
do not think it necessary to refer espe-
cially to the position taken by the coun-
sci for plaintiff, that the act OF March,
1887, is unconstitutional, arguing that
the act should be construed by more
liberal basis, it being an act to correct
the errors of the act of 1855. They add:
'sThe position of the plaintiff, outside
of the constitutional objection to the
act of 1887, seems-to be, that the desig-
nation of the second Tuesday in March
as the time when the corporation attor-
ney is to be chosen, is equivalent to an
express prohibition against choosing
words, that time is essential, and the
requirement of the statute upon this is
not directory but peremptory."

Courts.
The corridors of the new court house
were thronged with politicians, Office
seekers aud lawyers yesterday, but in
the court rooms there was neither life
nor anything to attract it. Judge Brill
was hearing the last appealing words in
the case of Cameron against Jefferson,
an action on lien, which was begun
before him on Saturday. The case of
Nancy Horsnell against F. Mcnamara
and others, an action to quiet title to
property lying on Mohawk avenue,
West st. Paul, was taken under advise
ment by Judge Villas. The case Of
B1iefner against Sattler. another of the
series of suits against the assignee of
the firm OF e. Allen & Co., was given
to the jury, which returned after
fifteen minutes deliberation with YER
dict for Briefner. This is about the
sixth case lost by the assignee and it
has been conclusiyely proven that the
in the six cases tried and the half dozen
or so remaining, was purely fraud or
wanton error. The jury in each case
having mulcted the assignee, it is very
probable that the courts will not be
encountered with any more Of the
tedious trials, but the principals will
settle matters by stipulation. Thurs
day morning Judge Wilkin will examine
and approve the bonds accompanying
city contracts. Sureties upon these
will be received and heard at the judges
chambers on West Third and Market
streets. To-day the criminal calendar
opens, a new venire of 100 jurors re-
turning at 10 O'Clock. Unless some

Many Small Orders.
Supt. D. L. Kiehle yesterday prepared
circular for county superintendent of
schools. which reads:
County superintendent send to this de-
partment a great many small orders for text
books, where few would be sufficient. The
result has been to make the cost of transport
tatlon excessive, inasmuch as the charges for
packing and shipping are proportionally
much greater for small packages than for
large. Notice is hereby given that the prices
of the books must be increased, unless the
practice above mentioned ceases immedi.
ately, for at present the state is running in
debt to m eet the charges for transportation.
Assistant Supt. Kirk explained that
the law provided that the text
books required by county super
intendentS should be estimated and
ordered at the commencement Of each
year. Some superintendent send sup
Elementary orders, averaging two orders
per month during the school year of
nine months.
