The fire originated in a two and one

Pittsburg, Feb 5.-Leopard NJ. Everett.
a mining engineer formerly OF this city, is
about TO apply for divorce. His wife was
a Miss Florence l.. Norton, If London,

remarkable circumstances. Early in
1887, while in Colorado, Everett
experiaente with ''self-hYpnotizs-

ions startling. The figure of young
woman appeared repeatedly. So vivid
were his impressions that Everett, who
was an amateur artist. made sketch oil
the Young woman In water colors, and up
ON returning to Pittsburg had a number
of photographs printed. He had become
possessed of the idea that the woman exis
ted somewhere in the flesh, and for the
purpose of discovering her had the photo
graphs exhibited.
There was no result, however, and he
went to London on mining business
There he had three photographs OF the
woman exhibited In different sections Of
the metropolis. One day lie was astonlshed
to receive a ncte from Florence Laforc
Norton asking him where he had got bel
picture. The pair met, Everett told h.
story, and in June, 1887, they were mar
ried. They came 10 America aud took {
residence In Allegheny. Mrs. Everett
developed such jeslous disposition ant

she thought of returning to London he dc
not object. She has been gone the twt
years necessary to make desertion th'
ground fer divorce, and Everett vii

four weeks the editorial columns Of
both have been teeming with Fighting

editor of the Index charged the editor of
the Star with being out of sympathy with

A great deal is written about the

occasionally the account OF their char

1t is, however, ,lways contrary to the
wishes of the men ers of the family
that their charities ss'euld be made
public. 1t has never b>en published
anywhere, although it is fact, that
there is rule in each of the Wander
bilt households that, whatever the
cost of running the house, the same
amount in each instance is given to
the poor I am told that this
rule is strictly observed; in fact, book
of expenses for this purpose is kept
and in it are recorded all of the house

of servants and the cost of boxes a

donations to the poor are increased
correspondingly. One can fancy how
large these donations must be from
