Queer Marriage Complications.

NEW YORK, Sept ga SUIT for d.
vorce is pending in the New Jersey court
Of chancery under peculiar circumstances
Fifteen years ago the defendant in the
case was a girl of 10, and was married to
a young man OF fine prospects in life and
a well known name. In less than a week
alter the marriage he was arrested for
crime, convicted in the courts and sent to
state prison for a term OF years. A law
yer informed the young wife that the SEN
tence was equivalent to a decree of d.
vorce and in the course of a year she was
married again and had a child.
Two years afterward, having discovered
her second husbands infdelity. she sought
aud obtained a divorce from him. Some
time atterward she was again courted and
married, and has lived happily
with the third husband and raised
a family. This husband is in entire
ignorance of the first marriage.
Two months ago the first husband called
upon the wife and made himself known,
an explanation followed. He had no de-
sire, he said, to claim her or make her re-
latiouship known, but simply wanted a
legal dissolution of their marriage in
order that he might marry without big
amy. hence the suit with the first bus-
baud as the petitioner.
There is no contradiction of any OF the
facts asserted in the petition. The case
was before Special Master in Chancery
John Whitehead of Newark yesterday,
and he will probably advise a decree. and
it will be necessary for the wife to &c
through another marriage with her third
husband in order 10 legitimatize her chill
dren. Her husband has yet to be In
formed of the state of things.

Topeka. Kas., Sept. S.-The commit
tee appointed at the recent meeting of the
Republican league clubs of Kansas to
draft an address to refute the alleged
ISLANDERS against the state By the advocates
of the Peoples party, gave their report
to the public today. 1t is a carefully pre-
pared statement of the progress made by
the state and it Is optimistic in the ex-
treme. The members OF the committee
declare that the ''crime of being a state of
borrowers, they will attempt neither to
palliate nor deny" From the platform
of the Republican league this sentence is
quoted: Our debts stand for our invest
ments, and not for our Losses; they repre-
sent our enterprise. and not our misfor-
tune; our property, not our poverty. They
will be paid to the last penny in the legal
currency of the country. not a coin
clipped. not a dollar deprecated"
Reference is made to the enormous crops
raised In Kansas this year, and the estI-
mate is made that $l04, 600. 900 will rep
resent the net result of the years work.
Some of this profit says the report,
will be added to our permanent capital,
but most of it will be employed in liqui-
dating Indebtedness. Kansas is marvel
GUS in its history, maichiess in its re-
sources and magnificent in its achieve
ments, and the party that maligns the
state and dishonors itself is already struck
with the blight of death"

SHREVEPORT. La, Sept. s.-News
was received here today of a horrible out
rage committed on the person of a young
LADY school teacher near Arcadia. A few
days ago the young lady started home, two
miles distant. and in a lonely place on the
road was set upon by a burly negro,
who dragged her into the woods near by,
tied her to a tree and kept her
there two days. When n searching party
found her there on the evening of the
second dav she told them her story, telling
them to hide near by as the negro would
oon return. In a short time the negro
appeared and was captured. He was
fearfully tortured. being skinned alive and
cut to pieces. His body was lett to the
buzzards.

A FEARFUL GALE.
The City Of Halifax Swept by
q Terrible Cyclone.
Vessels in the Harbor Dashed
to Pieces by the Wind.
Horrible Punishment of q Ne
gro Ravisher.

HALIFAX. Sept. S.-A fearful south
e~asterly gale prevailed in this region last
night, the storm raging with terrible vio-
lence from 10 o'clock until after Midnight.
1t must have been disastrous to the ship
ping on the coast, as several good sized
vessels aud a number OF small craft were
dashed 10 pieces in this harbor and other
damage was done. Halt CT Intercolonial
railway bridge across the harbor
at the Narrows has disappeared.
and the I~ntercolonial elevator
carried away by the fierce wind.
Trees and fences were leveled in the city
and a large amount of minor damage
done. The cyclone struck the hArbor
from the eastward and swept along the
wharves and through the city, tearing
down everything loose and every insecure
particle of property in its path. Advices
from places outside of the city show that
last nights gale was severely felt in all
parts of the province. but 30 far no
serious damage is reported. From Var
mouth to Cape Breton the coast was
swept and probably numerous shipping
casualties will be heard of in a day or two.

SUICIDE by
The Terrible Agony Does Not Pre-
l+E vent Its Use.

No poison brings death with more
maddening agony than ammonia, but the
fact does not seem to discourage the sui.
eide. The man Harrowitz, who deliber-
ately swallowed a fatal dose OF the drug
in New York recently is only one of the
many who have gone the ammonia route
to death in spite of the excruciating pain.
DR.. Blyth has recorded thirty cases OF
ammonia poisoning in the small London
district of which he is health officer; Prof.
Mitchell mentions twenty-five cases and
four have occurred during the short time
time DR.. Jenkins has been connected
with the coroner's Office in New York.
Cases of slow poisoning from ammonia
are of constant occurrence among men
who work in Its manufacture or even In
decomposing substances which give it off
in considerable quantities. Ammonia,
slowly and from day to day taken into the
system. causes the complexion to lose its
freshness. aud the skin of men who get
heavily i~mpregnated with it has a dis.
agreeable blotched and discolored APP
pearance.
Taken into the stomach from day to
day in even the small quantities used to
adulterate food, such as baking powder.
it not only Injuries the complexion but
attacks the lining of the stomach, and is
the source of much general i'll health.
The recent rapid increase in the use Of
ammonia for various purposes, and the
consequent increase IN its manufacture,
have made it one OF the most easily OBJ
tanned poisons and. although everybody is
familiar with it in some form, there is q
surprising amount Of ignorance of its dan
gerous qualities. Its use as an adulterant
in any food preparation is simply a crime,
aud as a crime should be punished.

A Child Killed by an Eagle

SAULr STE MARIE, Mich, Sept. s.
John Cowadje. a Chippewa Indian, living
on the shore Of Echo lake, started out yes.
terday to guide a party that was moving
over into Canada. His only child, a girl
baby, was on the outside of the hut, neal
the door, his wife being on the opposite
side of the little dwelling. When the
Indian father and party had proceeded
half a mile or SO, they saw an enormous
bald eagle circling oyer the edge of Echo
lake near the hut. There was no thought
OF danger to the child. but their sports
mans instinct prompted them to turn
back to get a shot at the bird. As they
turned to retrace their steps the eagle
made a sudden swoop to the earth. The
Indian quickened his pace and reached
his cabin in advance of the white men.
When they arrived at the lake they saw a
dead eagle of unusual size and formidable
appearance lying upon the ground, and
near it the Indian babe, torn and bleeding,
aud also dying.
The scream and rush of the great bird
upon the child brought the Indian
mother upon the scene. Her babe was
already several feet IN the air held by the
ugly talons OF the eagle. The child was
evidently too heavy for the bird and was
dropped to the earth.
The fall caused its death. The eagle
made another plunge for its victim, but
was fought off by the mother, who sue
ceeded in driving it away. As the bird
arose In the air it was shot by the father.
who had arrived too late to ave the child.
The white men had no difficulty in secur-
ing the eagle and they will have it stuffed.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Sept. s.--Eu-
gene Lavender. a merchant at Grafton,
Newago covnty, died a few days ago,
leaving all his property and 81, 900 lite in
surance to his wife. Alter his death the
widow went TO Newago and spent the
most of her time at the saloons kept by
John Surplus and John Barley. Her
conduct scandalized the neiehborhood and
aroused the jealousy of the wives of the
saloonists. Late at night, accompanied
by a few male relatives. the wives visited
the house where the widow and her
daughter lived. They knocked for admit
ance, but the widow refused to admit
them. While one stood guard at the
door the other broke a window and ad-
mitted the other. The two wives then
set upon the widow and, after beating and
choking her. poured tar over her and fin
ished the operation with a bucket Of

SEPTEMBER %
NEVADA POLITICS.

The Reno Gazette has been siz-
ing up the political situation in
this State and gives the following
as the result of its observations:
Some of the "knowing ones say
that the Hon. A. G. Cleveland Of
White Pine will cross swords with
the Old Roman Stewart. 1t Is
also rumored that John w. Mack
ey. to satisfy his wiie's ambition.
would like the honor, but the
Gazette does not take much stock
to the report, but there can be no
doubt that John would give Will
liam hard rub il he should con-
clude to want to go to Washington
for six years. State Senator Evan
Williams is also q Ozark horse"
and said to be in the hands OF his
friends but cares nothing for the
place personally. 1t probably de-
John P. Jones, who, it is said,
does not like Senator Stewart.
Perhaps it is not fair FOR the Ga
zette to give these family secrets
away, but it is common talk among
the rank and file, and that is our
excuse. State Senator Foley, like
Barkis is "always willin'," and it
wont take a ten horse team to
yank him into the fight il he sees
one chance in a thousand Of win
ming. G. c. Powning is standing
,around the boiling caldron, ready
to sacrifice himself on the Altar of
freedom, but it is said, that he will
be satisfied with Congress and
that c. c. Wallace, said TO be the
G. z. Boss Of Nevada politics. has
already pledged the support OF
gigantic Operations to Powning,
"if everything works right" Boss
Wallace has not yet said what he
proposes to do with Francis O..
Newlands, who has already de-
clared himself a candidate for the
lower house. Bartine, it is said,
will be satisfied with a judicial po-
sition-the Supreme Court, for in :
stance, to succeed Belknap-if
the so-ca.j,l bosses give encour-
agement.
At all events, Nevada will be a
bloody field after the dead and
dying are piled up, but those best
posted think that Stewart will
have no opposition to amount to
anything-that is, Stewart thinks
SO. Newlands is expected home
some time the latter part of this
month, when the chips may fly,
but where, no man can tell.
