their escape by ladders from the front
of the building, the stairway being
enyeloped in fnmes. Notwithstanding
that heavy rain was falling the fire
spread rapidly to the store of McGiffert,
Lee u Co., on the corner of Tower avenue,

westerly direction, attacking the Binkley
opera house, Park saloon building and the
Daily News office, on the corner of Main

C0NTEMPTIBILITY.
An English Earls Actions To-
ward His Wife.
The Countess wants TO Get aid Of
the Brute Actions i'm
Court

LONDON, Dec. LIN the division of her
majesty's high court of justice before JUS
tice Butt there was commenced today a
case which excites much comment, espe-
cially in the higher walks of English life
This case is the application Of Countess
Russell for judicial separation from her
husband, Earl Russell, grandson of the
great Lord John Russell, on the ground Of
cruelty. The troubles between the earl and
his wife have been public talk for months
past. The parties to the suit are we'll
known in society, and the allegations and
counter-alIegations offered were topics of
conversation in many circles of polite So
ciety.
The earl denies the allegations made by
his wife and explains that the whole
trouble is due to his mother-in-law. Sir
Charles Russell appeared for the earl and
Sir Edward Clarke, solicitor general, repre-
sented the countess. The petition of the
countess states that from the time she
married. i'll February, 1890, until she left
him, Earl Russell had habitually treated
her with
GREAT HARsHNEss AND CRUELTY,
terrifying her and injuring her health
The earl compelled her to remain l!ntil 3
or O'Clock in the morning doing his ac-
counts He also threatened her with a re-
volver, not content with abusing aud IN
sulting her in the privacy of their apart
ments, he acted toward her in such Way
that he humiliated her before her SER
wants. Sir Edward Clarke opened the case
for petitioner. The court room was
crowded with large number of persons
who listened with close attention to the
proceedings. The countess was accompa-
MED by her mother and sister. She and
her relatives occupied seats in the back
part OF the court room, seeming to desire
to escape from
THE OBSERVATION OF THE CROWD.
Sir Edward Clarke in the opening case
today said the parties to the suit lived to-
gether for only four months, owing to the
conduct of the earl. Afterwards tile coun-
tess was inducedto return to her husband
and they resumed their former married re-
lations. This continued but a short time,
however, when the countess found the
earl's actions intolerable and again separa-
ted. After this last separation the earl
wrote aftectionately to the countess and
lmplored her to return to him. The coun-
tess was pursuaded against her better iudg-
ment and returned to her husband, but his
affectlonate treatment was of short dura-
ton. He again used personal violence
against her and made her life miserable.
THE COUNTESS LOST ALL
hope of living happily with her husband
and she again left him. Prior to the sepa-
ration with the countess, her support was
talked over and the earl agreed to allow
her eighty pounds month for her ex-
penses. This agreement the earl violated.
He paid the first monthly allowance, but
after that the countess received nothing
from him except checks for the amount
promised, which checks when presented to
the bank were returned dishonored.
