Providence. II. l., people are discussing
a sensation which overtops anything which
has come to the surface there in a long
time. 1t concerns the life of the late
Amos N. Beckwith, the wealthy cotton man.
ufacturer, who is said to have contracted a
secret marriage with his h%ousekeeper. The
death OF Mr.. Beckwith was lately. an.
nounced. His first wife died several years
age. She was o sister Of ex-Gov. Lippitt
OF Rhode Island, and they were high up in
society. Soon utter Mrs. Beckwith's death
q h~ousekeeper named Sherman was en-
gagged. She was the divorced wife of Cant.
E ward Kay, but she used her maiden,
name. She managed the affairs of the
Beckwith household in a judicious man
n or, and was looked upon as a model in
her way. but she was never admitted to
Providence society. Twelve hours prior
to Mr.. Beckwith's demise he made a trust
deed conveying his stock to Henry G.
Cranston land another in trust, aud his
cotton mill property in trust to the Rhode
Island Hospital Trust company. 1t was
thought when he died that there would be-
nothing left but to settle the estate in con.
nection with the trust deed, and the first
steps were taxed. Then the trustees RIM
against a snag in the shape Of a marriage
certificate which was produced by the
h%ousekeeper and which named her as the
widow of the deceased millionaire.

North Carolina Planters 1ncenssd Against
Emigration Agents.
Seven hundred negro emigrsnts have
just passed through Birmingham, Ala, en-
route from North Carolina to Louisiana.
This ends the negro exodus for this sea-
son, but next winter the passenger agents
will take up the work again. r. L. Will
Jams, who had charge Of the 1 egroes, says
that no money would induce Q passenger
agent to return to North Carolina after the
negroes until the anger of the white
farmers hos had Tina to cool. Many Of
the negroes have jumped contracts
and left the planters there short Of help.
The passenger agents have been blamed
for this aud they have all received warnings
not to return to the state under penalty Of
severe treatment or death. Several of them
have been arrested and were kept in Jail
several days aud another escapeda foggiug
by walking out Of the town. just before
Agent Williams left the state he received
the following note:
6lR--You must leave the state at once and
return no moro to interfere with our labor. You
have received a fsir warning and II you return
you m ~ expect trouble. COMMITTEE.
Williams says that oil agents have TO-
ceived similar warningo.

Col. Cody (Bufialo Bill) has received a
bluff from President Carnot. Col. Cody
presented NJ. Carnot with q magnificent
lamp to adorn the vestibule of the Elysee,
but it was returned by the president with a
note from General Brugere, his secretary,
saying that the president thanked the
colonel for his kind attention, but that he
could not accept it, having made a rule to
take gifts from no one and could not depart
from it in this case. The lamp is nine feet
high, made of carved brass and q table of
Mexican onyx twenty eight inches square
on a placque of onyx. Fastened to the
lamp rod is attached q large buffalo head
captured by Col. Cody on the frontiers.
The shade of the lamp. thirty. eight inches
in diameter, is of scarlet silk covered with
moss green tulle, embroidered with peoples
and caulifiowers. The cost of the lamp
was 5000 francs. II was made in America
expressly for President Carnot. Col. Cody

AFRAID OBJ TIE RECORDS.

the Utah Commission.

Mormon Attempts to Steal the Records Of
the Utah Commission.
A few days before Christmas tho Utah
commissioners Office, at Salt Lake CITY,
Was enteredb by burglars and an unsuccessful
attempt made to steal the books andpapers.
The Utah commission is the body of men
who have charge of all election matters in
this territory and keep ali the records per-
tanning to elections. 1t vas generally sup
posed that the Mormons were at the
bottom of this attempted burglary,
for they We're DESTROYS about that
time Of procuring the regis
tration books, if possible. Friday the
Mormans began their contest in the Third
district court to compel the Utah
commission to issue to their candi-
dates for the city council from the
Third and Fourth precincts Of this city
certificates Of election. They have the
majority Of votes in those precincts and
it the court decides that precinct votes
count for councilman instead of the gen
eral vote of the city the Mormons
will have six out OF fifteen council
men. The case was set for Monday
for appearing, but the opinion prevails
that the old law is still in force and the
precinct vote will not count. Lrst night
another attempt was made to steal the
records of the Utah commission, but as
the important papers are all in the safe
deposit vault of the Union National bank
nothing of consequence was obtained.
Inc burglars, however. stole the gold
watch of Gen. McClernand and 1920.

All the city officials, consisting Of the

have been arrested at the instance Of Mrs.
Clarissa j. Paulev, who had enjoined them
from grading a street next to her property.
The injunction was not observed aud
therefore Mayor Murphy. City Attorney
Goodman and others we<e arrested for in.
direct contempt of court. The fight that
has led to this wholesale arrest has been a
spirited one, and has been going on for
two years. The Ohio and Mississippi
Railroad company vas perpetually re-
strained two years ago from raising the
track to correspond with the grade of the
street. and last December Mrs. Pauley re.
covered damages from the city in the
courts from injury to her property from
overflow Of water in the cutters. The
fight in the courts will be a bitter one.
The city attorney will enter suit against
Mrs. Pauley for $4,000 damages for false
imprisonment. The mayor will also ask
for $500 damages for the same reason.

A Woman Who H.s Much trouble.

~
Some weeks ago Miss Nettle Brazleton,
OF st. Louis. created . stir in Denver by
calling on the police for protection. She
told her story, which was to the effect that
she had come to Denver supposing that
sbe was to be given honorable employment.
The place offered her she found was to
wait in Q variety theater. She refused to
accept, but the manager refused to let her
go. She got away, however, and notified
the police. She had been held q prisoner
at the place for several days.
A few days ago she cana to Chicago fer
the purpose Of finding employment us q
typewriter, and has been stopping with o
married sister. She met o dealer in rail-
way supplies whom she says she met at the
home Of . friend in Kansas City. He in
vited her to accompany him to see Pima
fore" at tho auditorium. As she had gone
to the theater several times with him in St.
Louis, she was glad to do so.
After the opera she said he invited
her to go to supper. Instead of do
ing 10, however, he took her to
a place OF questionable character and there,
under threats of numbering her if she
mede an outcry, dealt shamefully with her.
Finally she escaped and informed the pc.
lice. She was put into q cab and sent
home. On the way home the man who had
wronged her overlook her in another cab
and tried to bride her to keep silent about
the matter. The man who ensnared her is

HEART AS WE'LL AS HEAD.
An Indiana Judge Who Possesses Boil, 1,
an Admirable Degree.

An Indiana Judge Who Possesses Roth In
an Admirable Degree.
The most prominent families OF Wayne
township, near indianapolis, Ind, have
been deeply interested in the outcome of q
divorce suit between W. NJ. Calvert aud
his wife, the latter a prepossessing little
woman, who had the sympathy Of all her
neighbors. The husbands complaint
charged her with an act in violation Of her
marital vows, and in her answer she ad-
mitted her guilt, but charged cruelty upon
the part OF her husband. On the witness
stand she was as disingenuous as u child,
and it was evident that the courts sympa-
thy was keenly excited. An effort was
made to reconcile the parties, but the hus-
band sternly refused to have anything to
do with his trembling wife. Thus forced
TO make a ruling, the court said:
IF b erred he has been much to blame
himself. He left her alone and unpro-
tected. She had done what 1 never
knew to be done before-shc
confessed her single mistake-and did
not come into this court and add
perjury to her sin. You can not tell me
she is a bad woman. I will not believe it.;
and the records of this court shall not con-
denim her. She shall not return to her
friends with a brand upon her. shall not
give a divorce either on the complaint of
the plaintiff or the cross-complaint of the
defendant. I shall enter a decree dissoly-
ing the marriage, and so the records shall
show"
Turning to the only chill of the parties,
the court asked whom it preferred to live
with. Mamma, lisped the little one, and
the court entered an order making it a ward
of the court till of age and giving the
mother its custody. He then ordered CAL
'ert to pay the mother $4,000. Everybody
was astonished at the outcome, and a
deathlike stiffness prevailed through the
court room during the delivery Of the
judgment.
