Thrown Out of Court.

Special to the Globe.
HELENA, Mont, Aug. 1.-THE opin.
ion of Judge Hunt, of the district court,
in the Edgerton divorce case completely
throws Mrs. Kate Edgerton out of court
here. Her SUIT was for 100000 for the
maintenance of herself and son, and
500 per month for future support. The
opinion holds that Mrs. Edgerton is
divorced woman under the
decree obtained by Mr.. Edgerton
at Billings in 1887, and that Edgerton is
under no obligation to her; that she,
therefore, stands as a stranger suing
one on whom she has no claims. The
court further holds that the existence of
the marriage relation is absolutely eS.
sential to permit the maintenance OF
this action. Mrs. Edgerton now has
but one resort, her case pending in JEFF.
ferson county to set aside the divorce
gotten at Billings, and which she de.
clareS was procured by fraud.

sation by His Story.
OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 14.-The senate
railway committee met tonight. and
startling evidence was brought forth in
connection with the Bale DIES ChaIeurS
railway scandal. Contractor e. N.
Armstrong. who had previously
refused to answer certain questions,
made a clean breast of 1t. He said that
when the effort to TeorganiZe the COM
Dany failed be set about organizing
new syndicate, as he had heavy claims
against the road. In New York he held
a lengthy conference with Premier
MERCER and other members of the
Quebec provincial government. In
order to complete the deal he had got
Earnest Pacaud, editor of L'Electeur,
the Quebec government organ, to act as
agent between himself and the Quebec
government. An arrangement was
made by which the government paid
him in subsidies $175,000. The witness,
realizing that half loaf is better than
none" as he expressed it, repaid Pa
caud 100000. His own share was only
$4,000.
This statement created a sensation:
Witness said Pacaud, when the deal
was on, complained at the delay OF the
Quebec government i'll paying. the
money. He showed witness a list of
names of persons whose debts had to be
liouidated. Among the names appeared
that of r. L. Tarte, NJ. P. The commit
tee will meet again on Tuesday. Be
fore the privileges and elections COM
mittee Contractor Starr swore he had
bid against McGreevy for big job and
Langevin had persuaded him to with
draw. The case was closed.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Aug. 14.-This
morning about 80 o'clock the powder
factory ON the Ohio river at Kellogg,
w. ", four miles below Huntington,
blew up from some unknown cause.
The explosion was in the glazing mill,
which was about twenty-five feet square

about two tons of powder in it at the
time of the explosion. Two workmen,
John Bayliss and Timothy Cooney, were
blown TO atoms, and only unrecOgniz-
able shreds of human flesh could be
gathered of their remains. George
Wells, who was in a house 500 yards
away, had his skull broken by frag-
ment of iron which whistled through a
window, and died later. NJ. Parks,
G. Knowley and John Shauster, work
men in the big mill, who were stand

The st. Paul GLOBE very kindly cor
rected us last week regarding Hon. W.

urged. We were of the impression that
it was Walter H., and not the general,
who was in the senate. but we have not
a word to take back. Walter ii. has all

in appointing him to the position his

her husband was too far gone to re-

ing that otherwise the Russian ukase
was likely to ruin the mill industry and
throw out of employment thousands of
hands.

temporary free entry for all provisions

urges the abolition of the prohibition of
American foods and reduction of
freight rates. So far the chancellor
