The climax OF his disaster was reached In

had borrowed from Sir Hugh Allan, the presi-

noon upon charges of beating his wife and of
burglary. Mcdonald and his handcuffed pris-
oner boarded the smoker of the fast-line train
at Union station in this city and were going to
Greensburg Jail. The train had scarcely started
when Wilson begged that the bracelets be re-
moved, so that he might smoke. This was done.
The prisoner pulled away complacentiy and
entertained his captor with funny stories until
Greensburg had almost been reached. Then
the constable remarked: ''Well. Sandy, il will
not be long before you'll be locked up"

Constable Mcdonald was found in a ditch,

Railway Ofiicials Censured.

The coroners jury in Baltimore that investi-
gated the fatal wreck that occurred on Thurs
day on the Maryland Central railroad at Falls
ton, near Baltimore, Friday night brought in a
verdict to the effect that the victims came to
their death by reason of the giving away of the
overshot trestle under freight train and
that the giving away of said trestle was due to
decaying timbers and neglect on the part of
the Maryland Central Railway Company to
keep it in proper repair, and in the opinion of
the jury there was unnecessary delay in the
rescue of the victims.

ENGLISH DIVORCE LAWS.

A Movement to ASST initiate Them to Those Of
Scotland.
A London dispatch says: DR.. Hunters bill in
the house Of commons to assimilate the law OF
England to the law Of Scotland on the subject OF
divorce is generally approved and likely to pass
the house. The bill provides that a
wife may obtain divorce on the ground
of her husbands infdelity, and that
either husband or wife may obtain
divorce after desertion for a period Of four
years. This removes the discrimination which
has so long existed whereby a wife could not
obtain a divorce for infideiity unless accom-
panied by cruelty and it also gives the deserted
husband or wife chance to be free. The
struggle on the bill will come in the house Of
lords. where the prelates have their seats, rep
resentatives of the Church Of England, which
grants divorce for but one cause.
