LUVERNE, Minn., July S.-Papers
were served to-day IN two sensational
suits which are the talk of the county
tonight. County Commissioner Jacob
Merkle sues eX-Sheriff e. r. Hinton for
S10,0U0 for the seduction of his wife and
the alienation of her affections. He
also sues his wife for an absolute
divorce upon the grounds of ,un-
faithfulness. In his complaint he
alleges that the unlawful intercourse
began score of years ago, when the
families first came to the country, among
its first settlers. He also alleges spe-
cific case, and says he has witnesses
enough to furnish absolute proof of the
relations of the accused pair. A couple
of years ago Hinton was expelled from
the Methodist church of Beaver
Creek, where Merkle lives, and
where linton lived previous to his
election as sheriff. He has since been
taken into the Luverne church. Merkle
was elected county commissioner on
the Alliance ticket last fall, and Hin
ton was an unsuccessful independent
for the Office of sheriff, having lost
Republican nomination. The details
are extremely sensational. Attach
ments were served on Hinton's prop.
erty to-day, it being rumored that he
was about to transfer it. Both parties
TO the case are grand parents. and Hin
ton has most estimable wife.

FRANCE AND ENGLAND.
Lebouchere Questions a British
Secretary.

LONDON, July s.-Sir James Fergus
son, political secretary of the foreign
Office, in the house OF commons, replying
to the question addressed to the govern
ment by Henry Labouchere, said that
communications had passed between
her majesty's government and the gov
ernment of France in regard to the
maintenance of the status quo in the
Mediterranean; but. he added, they
were communications which were not
suitable for public discussion.
When questioned as to whether the
Italian government was aware that an
entente between her maiesty's foreign
secretary and foreign government and
not communicated to parliament was
only binding upon the minister who
comes into the entente, Sir James
Ferguson replied that he had no doubt
that Italy was we'll acquainted with tn e
English constitution. To this Mr.. La
bouchere retorted with the question:
"Am to understand that the entente
between Italy and England has been
communicated to France?" Sir James
FERGUSON replied: mo, you must not
understand more than what said"

PERKINS Is BITTER.
An Ex-Congressman Scores ALI
ance Ideas.


WASHINGTON, July s.-Ex-Congress-
b. W. Perkins, of Kansas, is in the city
on business in the department. Speak
ing of the situation ia his state he re-
marked that the success of the Farmers
Alliance was the greatest curse that
ever befell the state. "When we were
afflicted with the grasshoppers, the
drought and all those plaques, we had
the sympathy of the people at large,''
he continued. "but since we have in
dorsed the Alliance by elscting its men
to congress, the public has lost conf
dence in US as state; money is scarce,
and it is an almost impossible thing to
borrow it. The money that has been in
the market has been withdrawn.
The leaders of the Alliance have de-
clared for what is practically fiat money
and the reputation of debts. Mr..
PETER has publicly said that the people
of Kansas are too much involved to pay
their debts. Mr.. Lease, one of their
champions, is going about organizing
societies to prevent the foreclosure of
mortgages and collection of debts. My
successor, Mr.. Glover, comes to congress
to secure legislation on platform that
OCSlolCo lAC 1OoiuOubo VI ClliCS dlC Sup-
ported by the farmers, and it would be
cheaper to keep them in the poor houses
than as tradesmen in the cities"
Referring to the actual condition of
business in Kansas. he observed that
''in all the state, save few cities in
the mineral belt, there was not a nail
being driven or shingle being pnt on.
All improvement has stopped. and the
intelligent farmer is beginning to rea-
liZe that instead of helping them the
Alliance has added to their evils and
precipitated additional misfortunes
upon them"

A TERRIBLE TRIP.
Emigrants Beggared by the Fury
of Storm.

MONTREAL, July S.-The steamer
Lake Superior, Capt. Stuart, from Liv-
erpool, Friday, June 26, got into port
yesterday afternoon. Her passage
was one of the most eventful and un-
fortunate that has been experienced by
any steamer coming to Montreal for
some years. Although no fatalities
occurred, the fact that at least one man
has been manned for life and that about
$50. men and women emigrantS have
been put ashore with scarcely stitch
of clothing they can call their own,
mokes the case an extremely sad one.
The Lake Superior came through a
frightful hurricane, which, even in the
dead of winter, has not often been
surpassed in violence. On Saturday
afternoon, southeasterly gale sprung
up and increased in fury as the hours
wore on until, Sunday morning at about
s o'clock, it was blowing terrible
hurricane. The sea was tremendous

staterooms. The waves washed over
the deck, sweeping every loose article
overheard. The cargo of coal shifted
twice in the midst of the storm, and the
boat listed badly amid the cries of the
frightened passengers.
Some of the latter, belonging to the
saloon, who have crossed as often as
thirty times. declared that even they
considered the chances of getting safely
through as very smell. A cattleman
named Cyrus Oracle had his leg broken
by the shifting of the cargo. A heavy
sea struck the ship, tearing open port,
and hundreds of tons of water rushed
into the hold. The water was with diff
ficulty bailed out and the ship saved.
The damage caused by the hurricane
was frightful. The passengers lost
nearly all their belongings, the steerage
passengers especially suffering severely.
The hurricane lasted for nearly three

Charges Against the Itata Will
Be Pressed.


WASHINGTON, July S.--The secretary
of the treasury has authorized the
acceptance of the offer of the master of
the Chilian steamer Itata to pay $500 for
violation of our navigation laws in hav-
ing cleared from San Diego, CAL, with
out the necessary permit. This is the
full legal penalty for such an offense. but
its settlement has no bearing on the
other charges made against the officers
of the vessel, to-wit: kidnapping a
federal officer and violating the neu-
trality laws.
AS to the first of these charges, it is
not believed here that 1t will lie as
against an inanimate object such as
vessel, although evidence on that point
might still have a certain value in re-
spect of the third charge, violation of
the neutrality laws. IL is understood
here. however, that the actions so far
tried in the case of the Robert and
Minnie, and to be prepared against the
1tata apply only to the vessels. The at
torney general is without official infor-
nation of the trial, but accepting the
published reports as accurate, he be.
lieves that actions may still be brought
against the individual officers of the two
vessels. So that although the officers
of the ltata have compromised their Of
fense against the navigation laws they
may still be amenable to legal prOsecu-
tion on the charge of kidnapping, and
also of violation of the neutrality laws.

TO SHOOT FOR RAIN.
Expedition to Texas to Test a
Queer Theory.

WASHINGTON, July s.-Coi. Dyren-
forth, of the department of agriculture.
with two assistants, left here to-day for
the interior of Texas, where ne will
make further experiments in the feast
bility of producing rain in arid regions
by exploding balloons charged with oXy-
gen and hydrogen at considerable
height in the air. Tests will also be
made IN exploding dynamite attached
to the tails of huge kites. in connection
with the theory that rain may be pro-
duced by the conclusion of high ex-
plosives in mid-air. The dynamite is to
be exploded in the same manners as are
the balloons-by slender wire leading
to the kites and connected with an cleo
trio battery worked OH the ground. Col.
Dyrenforth will seek some sequestered
spot in Texas where the noise will not
disturb any one. and will then make
thorough and exhaustive experiment as
to whether or not rain can be produced
when needed by means of explosions
near the clouds.

THE BUSTED BANKS.
Editors and Wanamaker Are
Wanted to Testify.

PHILADELPHIA, July S.-Court of
Common Pleas No. l this afternoon is
sued its certificate ordering H. Fl. Yard
to appear before the councils investi-
eating committee and give his testi-
mony in relation to the city's deposits
in the keystone bank and other mat
tiers incident to Bardsley's misappro-
priatlon of state and city funds. The
order was served this afternoon on Mr..
Yard. with notice to him that they de-
sired to receive his testimony OH Friday
fternoOn next. As result of the Sc
cret conference held at the mayors Of
fee on Monday morning, Editor Will
lam Y. Mexican and City Editor Rob
ert NJ. McWade, of the Ledger,
were to-day notified to appear
before the councils investigating COM
mittee Friday afternoon to give testi-
mony. The purpose of Summoning
these two witnesses is to inquire into
the interview held with John Bardsley
by Mr.. McWade, in the county prison,
and which was not printed in the paper
because it mentioned three prominent
people as having in some manner bene-
flied by public moneys handled by the
convicted eX-citY treasurer.
In the judgment of Mr.. Mexican it
was not policy to allow man who had
perjured himself to use the columns of
his paper in mere denunciatiOn of
others. BardsleY himself has said that
the "interview" was unsuspected by
him, and that if he had known
it was intended for publication
he would have been silent. The
committee. however, believed that all
statements bv Bardsley may throw light
on the bank and treasury iniquities and
they Therefore want to see it, or learn by
testimony of its contents. Notification
was also to-day forwarded to Post
master General Wanamaker to appear
at Fridays session, as Mr.. Wanamaker
has said that whenever he was asked to
appear he would do so willingly, it is
taken for granted that he will be pre-
sent. Samuel B. Huey, ESQ.,. and
Effingham b. Morse, president of the
Girard Life Insurance Annuity and
Trust Co., has also been summonded.
Ex-City Treasurer John Bardsley was
to-day transferred from the county
prison to the teastern penitentiary. and
there began 10 serve his fifteen years
Imprisonment for miSapprOpriation of
public funds. When sentenced on
Thursday last, .Bardsley's request for a
few days respite. in which to settle up
his business affairs before starting on
his long penitentiarY life was acceded
to by District Attorney Graham. The
latter official to-day issued the orGer for
Bardsley's transfer to the penitentiary,
an dat o'clock this afternoon the man
who few months ago was the custO-
dian of the city's millions, was num-
bered convict. with prison life of fif-
teen years before him. He will be al
lowed to write to his family once every
four weeks, and can be visited by them
once in three months.

conclusion that opposition to Hamlin
was no OffenSe to Lincoln. L saw and
conferred with SWEET almost every hour
of the period of the convention. We
both labOred to nominate Johnson,
and SWEET made Holt. who
was an impossible candidate, a
mere foil to divide and conquer
the supporters of Hamlin. bad Lin
coin desired Hamlin'S nomination.
SWEET would have desired and labored
for il, and Hamlin would have been re-
nominated on the first ballot. The con-
vention was a Lincoln body. pure and
simple. and no man could have been
put on the ticket with Lincoln who was
not known to be his choice. 1t was not
proclaimed, but it was in the air, and
pretty much everybody but John &.
NicOlay scented and bowed 10 it.
Of the few men who enjoyed Lin
coins complete confidence, Charles A.
Dana was conspicuous, and his state
ment, given in another column. is AS
credible testimony as could now be
given oil the subject. He was trusted
by Lincoln in most delicate matters,
political and military, and he logically
tells of JOhnSOn's selection by Lin
coln'' for the vice presidency in 1864.
With Dana's direct cOrrObOration of my
statement added to the strongly corrob-
Orative facts herein given. lmay safely
dismiss John &. Nicolay and the dispute
his mingled ignorance and arrogance
has thrust upon me.

CHICAGO, July S.-Burton c. Cook, of
Chicago, who was chairman of the Hi
nois delegation in the Republican con-
ventien of 1864, and who nominated
Lincoln in that convention for re-elec-
ton, declared in an interview this even
ing that the statement that Lincoln fa-
vored Hannibal Hamlin for the vice
presidency is correct. Mr.. Cook says:"Al-
though Mr. Lincoln had not told me di-
rectly, he had given me so to understand.
The fact is further proven by the action
of the entire Illinois delegation, which
was a unit for Mr. Hamlin understand
ing that we were at Mr.sLincoln's serv-
ice in the matter" MIR. Cook attrib-
utes the selection of Andrew Johnson
by the convention in the place of Ham
lin to the eloquence of Horace May
nard, who pathetically described the
sutferings of the people of the South
and brilliantly advocated the expedi-
ency of choosing johnson.

A County in Hard Luck.

CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., JulyS.-lyman
county, in the ceded Sioux lands, is a
veritable mo mans land" Through
some oversight this county was not at
tached to Brule county for judicial pur-
poses when several of the counties west
Of the Missouri river were attached to
this county. On this account settlers
in that county with grievances are get
ting but little satisfaction when they
complain to District Attorney Porter, of
this county, by reason of the lack OF
jurisdiction. In many instances settlers
are compelled to suffer the grossest in
justice without being able to secure re-
dress, and it would seem as though some
protection should be provided for those
people if it is at all possible. The
assessor from this county has just COM
pleted assessing settlers in Lyman
county, and they will be compelled to
pay state tax, although they are in no
wise protected by the state.
