HE WAS CARELESS.
Il. w. Petran Wants a Rehearing
Of his Divorce.

About two weeks ago Agnes P.
Petran was granted divorce from
Louis w. Petran, on the grounds Of
cruelty. The divorce went by default
as the husband failed to put in an
answer.
Late yesterday afternoon Hector Bax-
ter, attorney for Louis Petran, filed a
number of affidavitS, and praying that
the divorce be set aside and motion al
lowed for new trial. The affidavits
make very interesting and decidedly
sensational reading matter, but would
hardly look we'll in type. In his state
ment Petran says that he had no idea
the application for divorce was made
in earnest, as his wife had told him
time and time again that she would not
appear against him. The first intima-
ton he had that she was in earnest was
on May 9, when he read it in an evening
paper. The night before his wife had
occupied the same room with him, and
stated at that time that she would not
have the case carried on. He submits
copies of endearing letters from her to
substantiate his statement. The whole
trouble is attributed to the interference
Of Mrs. Petran's father and relatives.
The affidavit alleges that on the day of
the trial Mr.. Benner, the father of Mrs.
CtIdu, UTTERED 1elTdn' ONCE ana
threatened to shoot him on the spot I'M
less he promised not to make any oppo-
sitlon to his daughter receiving the
divorce. Many allegations that were
charged in the application, such as Pet
ran having loathsome disease, are de-
MED in toto.
The affidavits number eight or ten, in
Guiding one of Diantha A. Bartlett, who
states that Mrs. Petran STAYED all night
at % South Sixth street, where Petran
roomed. at that time Mrs. Petran said
she did not wish to obtain divorce, but
was forced to do SO by her father and
relatives. Others also state Mrs Petran
said in their presence that her father
was the canse of all the trouble between
her husband and herself. and that she
was very foolish to listen to what he
said
The case will be a decidedly interest
ing one.

The Fire Extinguished.

The fire at the Day lumber yard was
completely extinguished by 3 o'clock
yesterday morning, and the other lum-
Der dealers in that vicinity are grateful
that they escaped without further
loss. 1t is believed that had it
not been for the rain of Wednesday
the loss would have been much greater.
Several small accidents to firemen were
reported, but none of them are regarded
as at all serious. Nels Lund, of Hose
Company No. IL, was struck in the chest
and bruised by nozzle. John McDon-
aid, of headquarters, had his thumb
crushed. and Capt. Hanley, of No. en-
glne company, was bruised. Chief

They Want Room to Travel.

E. W. Backus, the lumber dealer, ap-
peared in the police court yesterday
morning, charged with having obstruct-
ed Ramsey street between Eighth and
Tenth avenues. and number of the
residents of that neighborhood appeared
against him. The Northern Pacific rail
road tracks occupy the middle of
Ramsey street in that section, and il is
claimed that Backus has so blockaded
the available portion with his lumber
piles as to render travel almost impos-
sible. The case was continued until
Wednesday next. 1t is also understood
that the city attorney will institute pro-
ceediDgs to nullify the right of way of
tho railway company on the ground that
the ordinance by which it was granted
was informal.

The Poles Will Re Moved.

In speaking of the gentle roast admin
istered to the street railway company
and its agents by the jury in the case of
John Hanson. the inspector who was on
duty at the bridge when the accident
occurred stated yesterday that every
possible precaution had been observed
to prevent passengers from crowding on
the platforms and steps of the cars, and
that in HanSOn'S case he himself had
warned him against standing on the
step and had even pulled him off the car
before 1t started to cross the bridge.
But Hanson was under the influence of
liquor and Immediately got onto the car
again.

he will remove the poles to the outer

Baker, as receiver of the estate OF Emil
V. Koessel to recover S400 from James
II. Pottle, the value of certain horses,
buggies and harnesses claimed to have

The recent death OF the distinguished
peeress the Marquse de Talleyrand-
Perigord, whose son married an American,
Mrs. Adele Stevens, revives stories OF her
beauty. II was her habit TO drive to balls
In an enormous landau with many win
dows, and TO prevent disarrangement Of
her marvellous toilets she always stood In
her carriage.
She had a remarkably small foot, but in
this respect a rival beauty, Baroness de
vatry, competed closely with her. IL is
related that "one evening. entering n
ballroom, she discovered that she had lost
one OF her satin slippers when descending
from her carriage. Seating herself next
to the Baroness de Vatry, the marquise
said:
"'I cannot dance without slipper
Never mind said Nine. de Vantry,
with a little malice; I shall lend you
One OF mine; think 1t will fit you
Thank you, but shall put IL on over
tie slipper that remains
And she did, TO the horror OF her
obliging friend"

He Ruined His Rival.

1t was night, sweet, delicious night, the
crisp, clear, moonlit October night Of the
temperate zone, one of those nights on
which all the poetry in a mans and WON
ans nature rises 10 the surface, and on
which there is naught but love and calm
delight in the heart.
1t was therefore strange to behold a
young couple facing each other and re-
garding each other with looks so cold and
chilling that an iceberg would have seemed
like furnace in their vicinity.
II know why you wish me to leave you,"
he said, in sharp and metallic tones, each
syllable of which seemed to fall from his
lips with a click.
"whyp" she asked, with toss of her
queenly head.
Because" he hissed, because you ex-
pect visit from my rival"
What if do!" she said. Then, throw
ing colder glitter into her eyes than had
previously illumined them, she added,
Perhaps he loves me better than you do"
"Oh, he loves your laughed the youth
sardonically. "Without doubt he loves
you, for I've heard him praising you"
Heard him praising mei" The cold
glitter left her eyes. "What did he says"
"He said you were pretty-yes, pretty.
do not seek to hide the fact from you"
"He said was prettyp'
"Yes, he said you were pretty-almost as
pretty as your friend, Miss Somely."
Her face became deathly white.
almost as pretty as Miss Somely" she
repeated mechanically.
She was silent while you could have
counted twenty or perhaps twenty-one.
Then she said:
Hadn't we better go in, John, instead
Of standing out here at the garden gatep
And as they passed out of the moonlight
into the house he said softly to himself:

ette of Shakespeare whicn was executed

is, nevertheless, of high order of merit.
The bronze figure "Aux Boid's de / Disc"
through favorable comment has become
widely known. IL was exhibited at the
Paris Salon of 1888, and was remarkable
as the work Of the youngest sculptor ever
SO honored. There are two figures Of young
"Orpheus." One is a small bronze and the
ocher of larger size. The remaining
figure is a bust called 1.-The Portrait"
Miss Ruggles is young woman of un-
usual talent, whose work holds out great
promise for her future. Though scarcely
out of her teens she has developed origi-
nality and strength, as well as delicacy of
handling, and ranks already among the
few women who have really accomplished
something in sculpture.

Solution for Making Leather Waterproof.

A much sought desideratum, namely. a
really practicable method of waterproofing
leather and raw hides. is claimed to have
been practiced by an Austro- Hungarian
chemist with much success, his method
being to impregnate the material with a
gelatine solution, combined with some
mineral salt to coagulate the gelatine in
the pores. An effective mixture for pro
ducing the desired result is found to be
the following: Twelve hundred parts water,
fifteen parts gelatine and five parts potash
bichromate; or 500 parts water. fifty parts
gelatine and thirty parts potash bichro
mate.
The temperature of the solution may
vary from so degs. +. to the boiling point
When the bichromate percentage is small
the liquor Is mixed cold and the leather
or nide is immersed for period of somt
twenty-four hours. As the proportion ap
proaches the point OF saturation the TEN
perature must approximate more nearly
70 boiling and the time of immersion be
reduced until it becomes momentary.-

The suggestion that the now city
charter provide two sections of the
Hastings Court, one for civil and the
other for criminal practice, is prac teal
and timely. AS it is at present, the

cases is thereby unavoidably delayed
and Judge Robertson subjected from the

1t will be matter of sense and Justice
to divide the court. When Roanoke
