of Albert Fosdick, finding somewhat
unique state of affairs. As the Doctor
remarked: THE one who did this lob
had good idea of the vital points of
the brain" as two shots could not
possibly have carried more deadly aim.
The first one fired entered behind and
above the right ear, taking "A somewhat
downward course. passing through the
brain and coming out just below and
behind the left ear. The next bullet
entered behind angle of jaw, just in
front, and below right ear, where all the
large arteries, passing to, and the veins
passing from, the head, are located,
severing all OF them, the weapon being
held at such close range as to tear
large hole This bullet took "A some
what upward course, fracturing bones
at base of skull, passing through the
brain, within three-fourths of an inch
OF the course of the other ball, and
fracturing skull at junction of left par
fetal and occipetal bone, not having
force enough TO go through, as its
course through bones at base of skull
checked its force, and il was found be-
tween the brain and the membranes.
Either wound would have necessarily
proven fatal instantaneously. An ex-
animation of thoracic and abdominal
region was made, and as no abrasion
of skin was found it was not deemed
necessary to carry the autopsy any fur
ther. However, when the undertaker
was preparing them for burial, wound
was found on the left side of spine over
the region of the heart aud bullet was
found on left side. The wound, how
ever, must have been made after the
man was dead rs there was no hem
orrhage, only slight oozing 1t would
be somewhat interesting to know if
the bullet passed through the heart
with as deadly aim as the others did
through the brain, if so, it would con
firm the theory that the guilty party is
well up in his anatomy.

4 Chicago Woman Seeks a Separation
From Her Millionaire Husband.

CHICAGO, Feb. A bill for separate
maintainence was filed by Adelaide NJ
Harding, wife of Geo. T. Harding, the
millionaire lawyer, relates remarkable
domestic history. She says she was mar
ried to the defendant in 1855, at Peoria
She and her husband came to Chicago to
live in 1862 and have resided here since.
Until October. 1888, she and her husband
lived happily together. Then there
came change in his conduct, and he be-
gan, she said, a course of systematic
cruelty. The husband, it is alleged, de-
prived her of credit at stores and only al
lowed her, or proposed to allow her, only
$50 month. Since that time Mrs. Harding
alleges that he has pail her but $3.50.
Among other things he deprived her of
the use of curriages except at certain times
He discharged servants from their home on
Indiana avenue and has made systematic
effort to turn the children against her
The complainant says her husband is
worth from two to three million dollars
and has a net income Of from SIS, 900 to
800, 900 per year. She asks the court to
compel him to give her suitable allowance
and the custody of the younger children,
the older ones to be allowed to decide for
themselves with which parent they will
live.

their own men have been so disgusted at
the appointments of the president that
they are deserhng their posts and cannot
be found. Mr.. Niedringhaus, one of the
republican members from st. Louis, has
taken French leave and no one knows
when he Will return, so that the situation
Is stlu critical for republican quorum.
Mr.. NledrlnghauS is very angry with
the president. He is wealthy German
manufacturer, employs several thousand
men, and has an almost unlimited popu-
larlty among the representatives of his
race at home. He made the canvass for
congress last fall and was elected at q
great personal sacrifice. entirely from nat
rlotlc motives, and contributed SIS, 200 to
the republican campaign fund There
fore, he considers himself entitled TO more
than the usual amount of consideration
from the president and the leaders of
the party. This he has not received.
On the contrary. he claims
that the president has not only xnored
HIM In making appointments to Office in
Missouri, but has selected men from his
own district who were personally offensive.
in fact hlS grievance is even greater than
that of Sen. Farwell. Mr.. Niedrinhaus
declares that Sec. Noble. who is supposed
to control the patronage of Missouri. is
not IN any sense the representative of the
party or the people. and that he could not
be elected to any office, but that he is the
personal friend of the president only. with
out political or personal following. Noble
gave nothing to the campaign fund, and
did little to help the republican ticket. but
is allowed to pass out the offices
to his personal friends while
he (NiedringhauSl is ignored and repud-
lated at the white house. Therefore he
does not propose to make any further sac
ritceS for the party, and, having impor-
tant business to look after. has deserted
in the heat of the battle He said that
he would return when he finished his
business, hut would not indicate any par
ticular date. and his friends say that he
would not have gone but for the appoint
ment of Il census supervisor last Friday
against whom he had earnestly protested.
There are other members who feel very
much as Mr.. NiedringhauS does. but they
will not show their disgust in 81 conspicu-
Gus manner.
