Mrs Leeanna Wadleigh obtained an
absolute divorce from George w. Wad
leigh, the theatrical agent, about year
ago, with an allowance of $50 q week
alimony Not long after the decree was
entered Mr.. Wadleigh was married to
Miss Agnes Blake, of 1.-The Pearl Of
Pekin" company. Since then he has
been very irregular in his payments OF
alimony. He gave his first wife an order
for $3.50 on June IA, 1889, payable by
Rice 4 Dixey on September l. He will
be unable to pay this order when it falls
due. and he alleges that il will be impos-
sible for him to pay the amount Of ali
mony ordered by the court. His arrange
ments with the Ferguson & Mack comedy
company, with which he goes out this
fall make his salary contingent upon the
success of the company during the sea-
son. His lawyer asked Judge
Barrett to reduce the ali.
mony to IS week The Judge de-
MED the motion yesterday, saying in an
opinion that as Wadleigh had contracted
his second marriage in violation of the
decree he should provide for the injured
party to the suit and his application was
in very bad grace. The judge said, how.
ever, that he would reduce the alimony
to SIS, as Mrs. WRdleigh proposed, II
Mr.. Wadleigh would furnish security
for the payment of this amount New

DEPEw thinks the Paris Exposition
has saved the French Republic" In a
talk with the New York Herald's London
annex he said:
1t has brought here such an immense
amount OF money and so stimulated
business and given employ ment and
made everybody prosperous from farmer
to manufacturer, from manufacturer to
laborer, that il has virtually ended ahe
chance for an overthrow Of the Republic
by any combination whatever. The ex
hibition has demolished the hopes Of roy
alists and imperialists. The verdict Of
the High Court Of Justice would, / be-
lieve have carried the country for Bou.
LANCER had it not been for the exhibition.
IT is more likely that Boulangism has
demolished the hopes of the royalists
Bonapartists and orleanists- They could
not expect to carry any question before
the French people with such an incubus
Of fussy nonsense as Boulanger.

A SECOND TRIAL.
Mrs. Maybrick's Case Appealed TO the
Newspapers aud the Public.


Newspapers aud the Public.
Baltimore sun.
Our State Department, which interests
itself sometimes in the fate of Americans
tried abroad for alleged crimes, is
strangely Indifferent TO the case of Mrs.
Maybrick, an American woman, who
was, Justly or unjustly, sentenced to
death recently at Liverpool after trial
upon charge of poisoning her husband.
but whose. sentence has since been COM
muted to penal servitude for life, which
after all, is not much Of Communication.
Londcn Standard
Mr.. Matthews has commuted the SEN
tence of death passed upon Mrs. May
brick at the Liverpool Assizes into one of
penal servitude for life. The decision
will be received with little surprise, and
on the whole with great deal of relief.
If for no other reason, we should vel
come Mr. Matthew's decision because it
removes the faintest shadow of an ex-
cuse for the silly and offensive agitation
Of the last ten days 1t would be too
much to hope that even now this sense
less clamor will be completely silenccd,
Sentimentalists and busy bodies who
have so boldly advertised themselves at
the expense Of this unhappy woman will
be reluctant to retire to their ori ginal OBJ
scurity.
London Daily News.
1t is what might have been expected
Mrs Maybrick is not to die, but neither
is she to be sent out at large into society
again. She is condemned to penal servi
tude for life, aud we know that in our
days penal servituds for life only
means Imprisonment for certain con
siderable number of years. Should Mrs
Maybrick's life hold out she may yet
come out of prison a woman compara-
lively young. The home secretary's de-
cision is avowedlY based upon the some
what singular ground that though Mrs
Maybrick undoubtedly administered
arsenic to her husband he may conceiva-
bly, have died Of something else
London Times.
We shall hardly be wrong in saying
that his decision will be received by the
large majority Of the public with relief
In this we leave out OF consideration the
large number of people who shrink from
contemplating the death of an attractive
and outwardly refined woman upon the
seaffold The case against Mrs May
brick was aud remains case of terribly
strong suspicion, but a suspicion which,
after all is said, just misses moral Ger
tainty.
London Chronicle.
The decision is the easiest way cut OF
the difficulty. but still we regard Mrs
May as the heartless convict al
Liverpool.
Bradford Observer.
The cry will be that Mr.. Matthews is
illogical, that Mrs. Maybrick should bt
hanged or liberated, but we consider the
decision just one.
Cardiff Western Mail,
The commutation will be accepted
with feeling of relief, but we consider
the decision compromise.
shenield Telegraph.
We approve of the Communication, bu
we would have strongly disapproved o
the liberation of the prisoner by fre
pardon.
| Nottingham Daily Guardian.
We are surprised at the decision, TO
we hold that no middle course was open
| Newcastle Chronicle.
We hope to see Mrs Maybrick free a
one step has been gained.

The decision Of the West Virginia
contested election case seems about TO
reach final and positive conclusion
The Coil partisans viii be dissatisfied
with the seating Of Fleming as Governor
no doubt. but since Quay was there to
preserve and conserve the Republican
rights with his mailed hand" it isnot like
ly that they have any just ground Of com
plant. Surely any set Of men who had
the nerve, the ability and the lack Of
scruple to beat Quay at his own game
deserve their victory. Votes were thrown
