Cured, and it is alleged that Mrs. Freolovo
threw her husband out Of doors and then threw
his clothes from an attic window after him.
Mrs. Freelove took in boarders, one of whom
was Objectionable not only TO the husband
but also to the neighbors. The husband
took up his residence i'll his fathers house,
adjoining tho one occupied by his wife,

on in his wife's home. This angered Mrs.
Frceloye and led her to have divorce paper
drawn up. There are two children. aged four
and ten years, respectively. and the mother
decided day or two ago that Francis must
support at least one of them. The younger
one is very sick.

English Jealousy of German Goods.

Eugene Fields London letter to the Chicago News.
The English are unwilling to admit that they
are suffering at oil from German competition,
yet 1t is pretty evident that the Germans have
made serious cuts into the trade OF England.
Manufactures are springing up all over Ger
many, and the products seem to be OF quite as
excellent quality as are English goods. Tho
first thing that England did when she discov-
cred that German goods were being sold in
London at cheaper rate than home produc-
ton was to pass a law compelling ali foreign
goods to be stamped plainly with the name Of
the country wherein those goods were manufac-
tured The English claimed that they had to
do this III order 10 protect themselves against
imposture. the German manufactures being,
as alleged, OF inferior quality and not lnfre-
qucntiy bearing forged trademarks of famous
British factories. But this move has practi-
cally failed of its purpose. German goods
flood the English market and are to be pur-
chased for less money than the British stuff of
the same kind and quality. l have not heard
any complaint against German goods except
on the score OF their cheapness The talk
about "wretched quality" come largely from
Englishmen directly in the trade.
People generally buy What goods
cost the least money, other things
satisfied with the progress they have made to-
ward introducing their wares into Great
Britain. 1t ives only last night that l read in
the PAT Mou Gdzette q lugubrious howl all be-
cause German firm had been awarded the
contract to furnish seventeen railway locomo-
tives TO the Metropolitan Railway Company.
Now, this is a big order. and it was supposed
that as heretofore, the contract would DO
awarded to the Leeds manufacturers. But tho
Germans were able to do the job much
cheaper that the railway company simply had
to send the order to Germany.

BALL PLAYERS NERVOUS.
Apprehensions Over the Result of the
Conference.

NEW YORK, Oct 22.-The ball players were
standing in the Fifth Avenue Hotel lobby at an
early hour this morning. and casting anxious
looks toward the door leading to parIor F,
which has been the scene of so many delibera-
tions. All of them appeared nervous and
compromise.
At II o'clock the conference committee had
not got together. as several members were not
present In case the representatives from the
brotherhood. Ward, Irwin and HanlOn,
ere allowed in the deliberations the
committee will consist of twelve members,
three from the National, three American AS
ISOLATION, three Players League and three
brotherhood.
MANY RUMORs AFLoAT.
There we're innumerable rumors floating
around the lobby this morning about changes
in the cities Of the different leagues. but they
were simply rumors. and us such not of much
account There will be nothing definite found
out about the next seasons prospects until
the conference committee settles the question
OF compromise either one way or the other. 1t
Is thought that the conference will last far into
the night. although l. recess will be allowed at
8 o'clock
THE COMMITTEE AT WORK.
The conference committee began work soon
after o'clock behind closed doors. The ses-
sion is expected to be long one, lasting until

lady tainted there was no one present except
the clerk, Chapman her sister and witness. He
denied that he had been arrested.
On crosse Examination witness said his name
was Lemon in the old country, but he took the
name of Seymour because he did not want his

The chief justice in charging the jury eau
toned them that more care should be taken in
cases where the evidence was circumstantial
than when it was positive. Tho question
for them to solve was: Do tho circum-
stances point to the defendant unerringly,
not merely suspiciously, but point directly to
him? Ii it is mystery to who took tho
money it was their duty to solve il OH the tes-
tmony, being satisfied beyond o reasonable
