somebody Starts the Painful Rumor that
He had Died.
In some unexplainable way rumor
gained currency in this city yesterday thst
Governor-elect Markham had died at his
home in Pasadena. For several hours the
RECORD UNIONS telephone was kept ring
ing, and it seemed as if every instrument
in thu. city was being brought into requisi-
tion by citizens who desired to know the
truth in regard to the painful rumor.
The REcoRD-UNIoN made early INQUIRY
by telegraph, and received telegram in
reply stating that there was no truth in the
report-that Colonel Markham was resting
easily, and his physicians reported thai
there was no cause for alarm.
This information was given immediate
publicity, and the public soon had their
fears quieted.

FELL WITH A CRASH.
A Blind Horse Causes a Commotlon at
Sixth and Streets.

sixth and streets.
Fate is against the old awnings.
An old blind horse belonging to Mier,
the furniture dealer. was tied yesterday
afternoon to one of the posts supporting
the awning which for long time has kept
the light out of Judge Tubs law Office, on
the corner of Sixth and streets.
Being blind, the unfortunate beast could
not see the rickety condition of the struct.
ture, else he would not have been so rash
as to breathe so heavily as he did. At all
events, the awning came down with a
deafening crash, and the poor old nag was
buried beneath the debris.
Fisherman McManus, who is always
around, when anything unusual happens,
ran to the rescue and pulled the horse out
before he had time to expire.
The street was sadly strewn with fire
wood, baby carriages, kitchen utensils,
flower pots and weeks washing, which
had been given resting place on top of the
awning by The parties residing in the Sec
ond story. One of the large plate windows
of Judge Tubs office was smashed, and
the whole place took on an appearance Of
desolation

His drollery is inimitable. He copies no
one, and none can copy him. Heis wholly
original in his low comedy, and it is of an
artistic order, clean, clear cut and whole
some. His humor is catching and his
auditors cannot resist the laughter he pro-
vokes. The farce. as we have said. is the
very best of its order, for it has as basis
one OF the c!eyerest conceits in fiction ever
put to press-the novel "Vice

Little Puck company is the largest and
best Mr.. Daniels has brought here; it is
equal to all Daniels and Miss Samson could
reasonably demand. Several new features
are introduced, quartet of youths, a
charming Spanish duo and several new
dance acts. The piece kept the audience in
a very merry humor and gave entire salts.

HuplIlL KNOTS UNITED.
MAJOR" WELLS Is NOW MINUS A
BETTER HALF.
He Deserted Her After One Month of
Bliss-Trouble In a Colored
Family, Too.

1t was only few months ago that the
social four hundred of Sacramento were
electrified by the intelligence that Major
Wells, soldier, orator and pugilist, had at
last decided to take unto himself wife.
The wedding was celebrated in grand
style at suburban resort, where the guests,
who were legion, were turned loose mid
an unlimited supply of lager and ham
sandwiches. And they made the welkin
ring.
Kate Ray was the happy bride-but her
happiness was short-liyed
She appeared in Superior Judge Arm
strong's Court yesterday with her attorney,
Major W. A. Anderson, and asked that the
nuptial knot uniting her to the doughty
Major be entirely severed. She had had
enough: Marriage in her case was dis.
NAL failure.
Yes" she said. "the Major and were
married short time ago, and everything
promised happy future-even the Major
promised that. But it only lasted month
yes, at the end of month he deserted
me. From the day OF our marriage up to
the present, he has never contributed even
so much as tve-ceut piece toward NV
support, and have had to depend upon
my brothers for the neceesaries of life."
Didn't you know what kind of a man
you were marrying" was asked of Mrs.
Wells.
No, didn't know him." she replied.
he was almost stranger to me, and 1
had heard nothing wrong about him"
Continuing. Mrs. Wells said she was conf.
dent that the Major" could have sup.
ported her had he so desired. as he was en-
ployed at the time. After he deserted her
he remained in Sacramento for a time
and then disappeared. At present she
understood he was in Santa Cruz.
John Carney, a half brother of Mrs.
Wells, corroborated her testimony, after
which Judge Armstrong granted the di.
yorce. She was also allowed to resume
her maiden name.
This case disposed of, Major Anderson
announced to the Court that he had an
other divorce case on hand. This was the
suit OF c. A. Ousley vs.. William A. Gus
ley. Both parties are colored.
Mrs. Ousley took the witness stand and
stated that she was married to Ousley in
Nevada City in August, 1885. She was but
hfteen years OF age at the time. At first
he was kind to her and provided for her.
But this only lasted five months. Then
he deserted her, and for the past four years
has refused to contribute toward her sup
port. During these years she has lived
with her mother, but her mother died two
months ago, leaving her alone in the
world. Her husband was cook by occu-
patton, and could easily have supported
her, sGe said. He is at present in Sacra-
mento, but refused to answer the summons
in the divorce proceedings.
Abraham Turner, also colored, testified
that he was acquainted with the facts of
the case, and knew that Mrs Ousley's ties.
timony was true.
Judge Armstrong granted the prayer of
the petitioner, and permitted her to resume
her maiden name, Anderson.
