A Guilty Love Scene That Ends
With a Double Arrest.


A remarkable story of martial
troubles came under the notice of the
police late last evening, when Officer
Casserly walked into the central station
with very pretty woman and a young
man, who were, on the complaint
of the woman's husband, locked
up on the charge of adultery
and fornicatlon. The woman was Addie
Sunville, wife of Charles Sunville, a
blacksmith who has store at 1877 West
Third street, and resides on st. Peter
street, near Exchange. The man ar
rested was Henry Raigel, glass blower,
who roomed in the fiat of Sunville and
his wife. According to the story told
by the husband, he knew his wife
when he was but lad. She was
the daughter of Rev. Thomas
Young, of Beaver Dam, Wis. At that
time she was the wife of man named
Grin Corbin, who lived in Lake City.
Sunviile came to st. Paul and worked at
his trade, and in the spring of 1883 met
Mrs. Corbin i'll st. Paul. She told him
that she was divorced from her hus-
band, that she had married second time
to man named George Lafayette,
who, however, died soon after the we'd
ding. Sunyille spent his spare time in
youth, and after while Miss Young,
who had changed her name to Ccrbin
and then to Lafayette, was induced to
make another change, and took a third
husband in the person of Charles Sun
vile. The bliss of the counting
days did not last long, for soon after the
marriage trouble arose, for Sunville
found that his wife was receiving visits
| from her second husband, Lafayette,
who was not dead, but very much alive
| Sunville, who is mild-mannered man,
| at last forbade the house to his prede-
| ceSSOr, Lafayette. Quarrels were fire.
| quent between the husband and wife,
| and gossip reported that the gay young
| woman who was married for third
| time was not acting in proper man
ner. Sunville became suspicious and
watched his wife, but, though lie caught
| her with loose companions, he could
| obtain no proof of her infidelity. A
| few days ago he left the fiat and
went to sleep at his store. Yes
terday news reached him which
caused agitation in his mind. He went
| last evening to the fiat. and, letting
| himself in with a key, hid under the
| bed of the roomer Raigel. After three
hours watch his suspicious were proven,
for the guilty wife and her paramount

rest. The husband caught the
pair in fiagrante deiictu. There
was scene, the house was aroused by
the screams of the wife, the nelghborS
rushed into the fiat only to find the
angry husband holding his wife and
her partner in guilt. both of whom
were in decidedly negligee attire. The
| police. attracted by the screams, were
soon oil the spot, and the guilty couple
charged as first stated. Sunville says
he will spare no efforts to send them to
state prison and will ask the law to re-
lease him from the letters which bind
him to the indiscreet Addie Young
| Lafayette-Sunville.

MIR. Lawton, how much money did
you collect at Winonif" ASKED Mr..
Nichols.
Mr.. Lawton-s115 in essh, and au-
thority to draw for S25.
Mr.. Nichols-How much at Red

Mr.. Lawton-S2S.
Mr.. Nichols-How much at Roches-

'Thirty-three dollars in CASH.
Mr.. Nichols-All this was in cash,
and you had it in your Satchel at home,
where you kept it all the time until the
matter was settled?
MIR. Ldwton--YeS.
after you paid this 500 which in
cluded the S25 draft, you had S10f left
| in the satchel?
MIR. Lawton Yes.
Here the questioner asked Mr.. Law
ton about $50 check received from
| Mathew Norton, of WInona. Mr.. Law
the 18th or 18th of May, and after
holding it for about two weeks, he had
1T cashed. Mr.. Nichols here produced
| the check, which was cashed May 2 at
Winona. This did not confuse Mr.. Law
ton little bit. He had made mistake
in the dates. The ninth specification
was finally reached. and is as follows:
That the said c. B. Lawton has stated that
he OWNS sufficient clear property to pay all
his debts, but that he intends to force his
creditors to take mortgaged property, and
that he proposes 10 keep his clear property
for himself.
Peter Rodenhausen, being called,
stated that Mr.. Lawton had told him
that he had clear property enough to
pay his debts, bat had said nothing
more. Mr.. Nichols came next and
stated that he had
Searched the Records
and found some facts in regard to judg-
ments that tended to prove the speciti-
cation.
I'VE find that Mr.. Lawton's prop
erty," said Mr.. Nichols, "had chased
around considerable, first to Alex B.
Smith and then to Lawton's wife. We
find that judgments satisfied were not
satisfied of record. and that those salts
fed in May were not recorded until
August. when this case was coming up"
Rev. Rice asked to go on the stand
next, and he told how he had heard of
these things and had called on BRO.
LaWtOn" to endeavor to induce him to
square things up by making an assign
ment.
"He told me-" said the minister,
'that he had clear property enough
to pay his debts, but that
he proposed to make his creditors take
his mortgaged property. His plan, he
told me another time, was working
splendidly, $1,000 having been paid off
that week"
The tenth specification was taken up
as narrated above. The trial will be re
sumed this evening. when the attorneys
will sum up and go to the committee
or their decision.

The prompt response of the fire de-
partment yesterday afternoon prevented
the destruction of the old car barns of
the street railroad company, situated on
West Seventh and View streets. A few
minutes after fire was discovered in
the interior of the huge barn where the
old cars of the company were stored.
An alarm was at once turned in from
box $40, one block away, and IN two
minutes Engine Company No. 10, from
Randolph street, dashed up at a full
gallop. The fire was burning tiercely in
the rear of the barn, but the firemen
quickly got to work, and before the
other engine companies arrived the
flames were under control, and
in short time were subdued.
The end OF the barn was badly dam
aged, the rear of four cars being also Sc
verely scorched. The damage to the
building was 5000, to the cars $500. a
total of $500, covered by insurance. The
cause of tie outbreak could not be de-
termined.
Yesterday morning shortly after II
some boys set fire to pile of rubbish
on the corner of Nash and Mississippi
streets. Tue flames spread to an old
shanty, and the boys then turned in an
alarm from Box 81, calling out the de-
partment. The damage was nominal.

The painters and decorators are wor-
ried to a considerable extent over the
| treatment received at the hands of the
boss painters union and builders ex-
change. These latter organizations are
levying unrelenting war upon the
locked out painters, and as a conse-
quence several men have left their fam
lilies in an impoverished condition aud
gone to other parts in quest of work.
The cooperative paint shop gets con-
siderable work to do, but is
being boycotted by the bosses and the
builders exchange. This shop made a
bid recently on an important job of
work, but was informed that it could
not have the contract if done at the
very lowest figure, as the builders eX-
change had threatened to fine and eX-
pei the contractor in case he let the
work to the cooperative shop. The
journeymen painters union have pre-
pared an appeal to the citizens to assist
in raising the boycott by the bosses or
break up the ring.

AGAINST WOMEN DELEGATES.
So the North German Conference
Goes on Record.

0OCS Oh 4tCCOfU.
The North German Methodist confer
ence continued its deliberations yester-
day and last evening. The day was
principally consumed in routine. The
most important feature of the confer
ence developed in the declaration against
women as delegates to the conference
however. 1t transpires that Rev. Funk
was elected delegate to the conference
that is to be held in Omaha next MAY,
and the conference instructed him to
vote against the admission of women as
delegates, after hot and exciting dis
cussion.
The conference under the present adj
ministration of affairs is divided into
three divisions. The proposition to
simply make two was sustained and the
old regime will go out Of existence.
Three new ministers were ordained, and
Bishop Merrill of the conference de-
livered an eloquent charge. Several
deacons were elected. as well as other
functionaries of the church.

The Committee Orders the Neces-
sary Changes in the Cullen
Building.
The special joint committee on jail
site met yesterday morning in the coun-
Gil chamber for the purpose of APPROX
Ing the plans and specifications pre-
pared by Architect Basstord for the al
terations in the Cullen building on
Third street, where the police head
quarters are to be located. Mr.. Costello
said he was opposed to any extensive
alterations. as the city had only leased
the property for five years, and it would
be necessary some time in the near flu
ture to build permanent headquarters
for the police department. The plans
submitted were very elaborate. and he
was not in favor of improving the build
ing beyond what is absolutely neces-
sary. The committee decided to instruct
the architect to proceed with the neces-
sary alterations, which will cost $4,000.

BLANKETS.
THE GROWING or HEMP.


An Agricultural Bureau Man Tells what
He Knows About It
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-In speaking
Of the advance in cordage, Charles
Richards Dodge, of the agricultural de-
partment. said that il the farmers of
this country would grow hemp more
extensively no combination could exist
and unreasonable prices could never be
maintained. The hemp substitutes that
are imported are easily monopolized,
owing to the long distance they have to
be brought and the lack of competition.
American hemp is as strong as the best
manila twine and can be produced for
cents q pound. 1t works just as well
on harvesting machines as the other.
This country is now producing about
ten thousand tons of American hemp
annually, but the amount ought to be
increased to 100,00 tons. The most is
grown in Kentucky. Considerable is
produced in Wisconsin and little in
Minnesota. The two last named are
capable of producing it in unlimited
quantities. The imports of sisal from
Yucatan amount to $50, 900 year
There is no doubt that the Florida fibre
will prove fully equal to it for cordage

Gale.
A New York Gateman's Error That
May Cause Four Deaths--Other
Casualties.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 30.-Captain
Hopkins, OF the British steamer Ocean
Queen, which has just arrived, reports
having encountered terrific gale in
mid-ocean on Monday, Dec. 81. Four
of the crew were lost.
Captain Hopkins reports that ON the
next morning he sighted large ocean
steamer flying signals of distress. The
vessel to all appearances was a passenger
steamer, bound from Liverpool to New
York. Owing to q dense fog the Ocean
Queen was unable to go to her rescue.
When the fog lifted nothing more was
seen of the distressed steamer. A ships
compass, encased in cork, was picked
up afterward. Captain Hopkins is
positive that, the steamer was wrecked.
