MARRIED AT TEN,
Cruel Treatment of u Baby Wife by Al
Italian. '

Cruel Treatment of u Baby Wife by an
Italian. '
NEW York, Dec. 30.-The trial of Clio
vanni Lavighei, a young Italian, upon a
charge of assault in the second degree, pre-
ferred against him by FRANCESCA Lavighei,
which occupied most Of the time in the
City, brought out testimony as to the
custom of early marriages in Italy.
The accused was arrested in the
fl st instance by officers of the
society for the prevention of cruelty to chill
dren, he having been discovered to be living
with the complainant, who is but II years
old. Francisco has pretty features, but on
she told with tears in her black eyes, was
that little moe than a year ago her mother
died in Italy, whore Francisco then resided.
Soon after her father brought her to this
country and told her she must marry Clio
vanni Lavighei or he would kill her.
On Jan 26 last Laviglei took her to East
New York, where an Italian priest married
them. They then went to live III Maspeth,
where the cruel treatment WAS inflicted.
She said Lavighei had often locked her in
u room without food or fire, and had tied
her hands behind her back. A policeman
from Brooklyn took her to that city and she
had been in charge of the society since
then. Medical testimony was given to show
the extent of the injuries the girl had re-
ceived. In his own defense Lav.ghei swore
that he had used no threats OF force to
compel the girl to marry him. He paid her
passage from Italy to this country for the
purpose of making her his wife. He ex-
hibited a gold chain and locket which he
had given the child the day they were mar
ried. The jury found Lavighei guilty of
assault in the second degree. Judge Gar
iettson granted a stay to allow application
to be made to the supreme court for IA new
trial. and Lavighel was admitted to bail
pending a decision.

GENTLEMEN about to make wills
should be warned against certain habits
and practices which may result in pro-
tracted litigation, after their death,
among disappointed heirs. Mr.. Schuy-
Ter Skaats, a worthy old Knickerbocker
of New York, died recently leaving a
million and his will is contested among
other reasons because he committed
many verses to memory which he sung
or recited unsolicited in company; he
kept a diary; he snored in church, but
what most overwhelmingly and conclu-
sively established his insanity N the
minds of disappointed relatives, "Skaats
repeated the same puns SO often that it
became tiresome." This last allegation
is by far the most serious one and we
rejoice that if Skaats could not be pun
ished for his atrocious puna in this life
he is meeting his. reward after death.
The case against Skaats is conclusive
enough. Charles M. Weatherbee, pro-
prietor of the Buckingham hotel, de-
poses that every morning for years the
wretched Skaats accosted him with
aHow is the Weatherbee?" Mr.. Fuller.
partner of the witness, swears that On
leaving the dining room Skaats would
say to him Are you any fuller than
when you went in?" He was asked this
question regularly for nine years. We
sincerely hope that the court will de-
eide that Skaats was stark, staring mad
and will give away his property to people
to whom he didn't want to leave a cent
and furthermore that it will lay down a
broad general principle that every pun
ster is a bowling lunatic who should
have his possessions taken away from
him even in life.

WEATHER OBsERvER CHASSIS official
reports are doing much to disabuse the
eastern mind as to the quality Of Mon
tana weather. We suggest that the dis
seminator OF weather lore at Washing
ton, d. G., could be more specific in his
reports to good advantage. Tho term
northwest" is too general. II the Da-
kotas or Minnesota happen to have n
blizzard, as they do, not infrequently, it
is exasperating to read in the New York
papers that ''tho storm originates in the
northwest and extends from the Rocky
mountains T. the lakes. We get credit
in the eastern press for u great assort-
ment Of weather that we do not have.
And our winter climate is really one
that the people Of the Atlantic states
would enjoy, ST much superior is it to
their own.

The Board Of Trade meeting tonight
will be one Of the utmost Importance
and should be turned into a citizens
mass meeting. The question OF prepar-
ing for the three conventions Of next
year will come up and committees are
to be appointed to look otter the various
bodies. The most important OF these is
the Mining congress. The local mem
bers of the A. O. u. w. and the Mon
tana Sons OF Veterans are looking after
the interests Of their respective organi-
cations, but there is no constituted
body to take the work of the Mining
congress in hand. Let our business
men, who are in the habit Of staying
religiously away from Board Of Trade
meetings, break their rule for once and
come to this last meeting of the year.

The statement Of the mugwump pa
pers that Representative Stevens of
Massachusetts, who has been appointed
a member of the ways and means com
mittee by Speaker Crisp, is a stiff pro-
tectionist, is authoritatively denied by
the American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter. The Reporter says that pre-
vious to tho autumn of 1889 President
Whitman, of the national association of
wool manufacturers, had assured the
public that he could count upon the
fingers Of q single hand all the wooden
manufacturers in the United States who
were in favor of free wool. The Re
porter doubted this sweeping assertion
and TO test it's accuracy sent out two Pc
titions to congress-one in favor of free
wool and the other in favor of reduced
duties. The first name on the petition
for free wool was that Of Jesse Metcalf,
the we'll known manufacturer Of Provi-
dence. The second name was that of
Mr.. Stevens and it was followed by the
signatures of $50 other wooden manufac-
turers and merchants. Mr.. Stevens, &C
cording to the Reporter, believes in a
slight tariff on manufactured woolens
but will be a staunch advocate of free
wool in congress. There is not a high
protectionist democrat on the ways and
means committee. Indeed, there is not
such a democrat in congress. Some of
the men appointed to the committee by
Speaker Crisp were not entitled by rea-
son of ability or party service to the dis
tinction conferred upon them, but SO
far Us the cause of tariff reform is CON
cerned the committee is all right.

THE SHADOWGRAPHER.

Lieutenant Governor J. Il. Richards came
over from Butte IN business yesterday and
incidentally dropped into the executive
Office but found nothing to demand his at
tention. He says the burying of heap
roasts drove away the most offensive fea-
tn. es of the smoke and that it will be OK
ceedingly dangerous for anyone to renew
that process. The smoke in Butte nov is
no moro of a nuisance than the smoke of
any large city. The governor has recently
returned from the east where he found bus
ness greatly improved. The money market
is much easier. He heard good things
about Montana and is sure that the coming
year will bring prosperity. When asked
about his rumored candidacy for governor
on the republican ticket the governor
winked the other eye and smiled.
