Mixed Divorce Proceedings.

Brooklyn SCENE to be a good deal inter-
ested in a divorce case in which Charles H.
Burnum and Annie G. Wood are the
principals Six years ago they we're
people of considerable social i'm
portance in Brooklyn. Their parents
were members of DR.. Talmages church, and
on Nov. 49, 1885, they were married by the
doctor, and their marriage received a col
umn notice in Brooklyn's leading paper.
But the couple didn't live together hap
PLY very long. 1t seems that the wife
found her true affinity in another man, a
travelling salesman named Frederick A.
Condict And she wanted to marry Condict.
SO, in company with her father, she went to
Palatka. Fla, and began a divorce suit on
the ground of desertion. In that suit she
alleged that she was married in 1884 instead
Of 1885, and she fixed the time of esertion
at q period when she was really living with
her husband.
While the suit was pending In Florida
Burnum, who says he knew nothing about
the Florida suit, found out that his wife
had too great desire for Condict's com
pany, and he began a suit for divorce in
Brooklyn, naming Condict as a co-respon-
dent. The wife fought for delay in the
Brooklyn suit and pushed the suit in
Florida. On June 5, 1890, she was married
to Condict in Brooklyn by regularly
authorized minister of the gospel. On
July 81 of the same year decree granting
her a divorce was issued by the Florida
court. She was in such hurry to be mar
ried that she took new husband before she
was rid of the old one.
Burnum, the original husband, obtained
decree Of divorce on July 10 from the
Brooklyn court. The judges attention was
called to the Florida divorce, aud be de-
clared it was worthless.
There must have been good deal Of false
swearing in the case in the Florida court,
and, according to the foregoing statement,
the woman is guilty of bigamy. And yet
the people do not seem to recognIzs the
enormous proportions Of the divorce evil.

The Alliance in MARYLAND.

A Baltimore special says the reason
| Senator German. of Maryland, declined to
take charge of the national campaign is
that he has about all be can do to take care
of his party in his own state. The farmers
alliance has secured stronghold
in the counties on the Eastern
shore, and it is making trouble in
the democratic ranks. The Democratic
party cannot accept the alliance demands,
and, unless there is very excellent manage
ment the Democratic party is in danger of
losing a good deal of it's strength. 1t is
thought by the democratic leaders that if
Senator German undertakes the manage
ment OF the campaign of his party in his
own state he can secure q victory.
He seems TO have the confidence of the
alliancemen in a marked degree, and it may
be that he can induce them to see that the
Democratic party promises them great
deal more than they can hope to get from
the Peoples party, to which they seem to
be drifting.
Alliancemen have been led to assume
their present position by men anxious to get
office. These men had no intention of lead
ing elliancemen out of the Democratic
party. Now that they see that alliancemen
have got beyond their control, and
that they have very little chance
of profitlng by alliance votes they are anx-
ious to undo their work. They are among
those who are anxious that Senator German
shall take charge of the state campaign,
and, if possible, bring democratic alliance
men into harmonious action with the Dem
ocratic party.
A good deal is expected from Senator
Gormans management. If he succeeds in
accomplishing what is desired. his reputa-
tion for political sagacity will be greatly
/ increased.

Scranton, Pa, papers are paying
their respects to Laborer Powderly
with a plain intimation that he is
welding his official influence to Sc.
cure political favors. They allege
that Powderly is using unbecoming means
to get himself elected delegate to the
state constitutional convention. To be a
member of that body would be a high honor
if voluntarily bestowed. But it is not the
sort of a distinction for which a man OF
any modesty or spirit of propriety could
enter into any sort Of contest.

Fabulous stories of abnormal freaks Of
felony have seldom surpassed the actual
performances Of a precocious young New
York burglar aged II years. who is now
locked up in Brooklyn jail to await his
trial on a charge of burglary and escaping
from jail. When boy falls Into habits Of
vice at that age there is usually but little
hope Of his redemption. 1t seems almost tu-
credible that an understood child at such an
age should have become the confirmed Grim
inal that this lad is represented to be.

Deposition FROM the throne of Brazil
seems TO have gone very hard with old Dom
Pedro, who was really the most liberal and
worthy monarch in the world at the time
that be was dethroned. Now sorrow and
old age and recent fall subsequent to that
from the throne have combined to render
the old gentleman almost helpless, and he
will probably soon pass away.

HE oBEYs SUPPOSED COMMAND FROM, GOD
TO KILL HIS WIFE.
Ann Lockwood sixty-five years old, died yester-
day morning at her home in the town Of North
Salem, Westchester County, from injuries in
hicted by her husband, Jesse Lockwood.
who is seventy years old. Coroner Drcws, Of
Mount Vernon, was informed, and he arrived at
the Lockwood farm yesterday afternoon, when
he impanelled jury and adjourned the inquest
until tomorrow,
Lockwood and his wife had lived happily on
their farm for fifteen years, and the circumstances
of his wifes untimely death has caused much
sympathy to be felt for the old couple in the
town, where they were well known. Lockwood
was recently attacked with the grip, and the
disease took such turn as TO suddenly render
him insane He considered that he had message
from God to kill his wife. On Thursday last he
became violent and attacked his aged wife, who
had been nursing him in his illness. He first rang
the bell of the Methodist church near by He
knocked her down and kicked and beat her until
she was insensible and her body covered with
bruises.
After the assault the old man did not seem TO
realize what he had done, and he has not since
recovered his reason. After assaulting his wife
he set fire to the house, but the neighbors who
tinguished the flames before they had made much
headway.
Mrs. Lockwood did not rally from the beating
she had received, and although physicians were
called TO attend her, she died yesterday morning.
1t is supposed that her death was due to internal
injuries. When Lockwood was told that his
wife was dead he did not realize it, and it is
generally believed that he is fit subject for q
lunatic asylum. Coroner Drews instead Of send
ing the old man to the county jail at White Plains,
allowed him to remain in the house in the custody
Of Deputy-Sherif Hallock He will be constantly
watched until the physicians exam inc him as TO
his sanity Drs. Potter and Casselmen will to-
day, by order of the Coroner. make an autopsy
to determine the cause of death.
The dead woman was Lockwood's second wife.
He married her about twenty years ago, when he
lived in Lewisboro. Lockwood belongs to an
old and well-known family of Westchester County.
He is related to ex-Assemblyman Horace Lock-
wood, long since dead, who was the father Of
ex-Sheriff Lockwood.
