snE HADN'T HEARD or THE DIVORCE.
Mrs. Powers Of Boston Did Not Know hcr
Marriage Had Been Annulled.

DENVER. Nov. Il. - Mrs. II. Nellie
Power. of Boston is in Denver for the pur
pose of having decree of divorce set aside
which was granted to her late husband, ,whe
never resided in Colorado, and secured il
by proxy. Charles +. Powers, wealth,
retired merchant of Boston. died in Septem-
Der lat. He possessed property worth
about $500, 900.
On opening his win the astonished
widow was, she alleges, apprised for the
first time that he had procured a divorce
from her. A reference to such proceeding
was made in one clause of the instrument.
The will recited that divorce had been
duly awarded by the county court of Arapa-
hoe county. Col.
Attorneys in Denver were at once noti-
fed to search the records and ascertain
whether such proceedings were had They
found that on July 2, 1891, as the files and
county record books showed decree of
absolute divorce had been awarded to
Charles f. Powers from II. Nellie Pow
ers.
1t her petition to set aside this judgment
Mrs. Powers says that both she and her
husband he'd at all times their residence in
Boston. Under Powers's will Lineus Ma
son Cbilds, John Goldthwaite and Marion
Powers Lowrie of Roston and Florence
Agnes Powers Harding of littsburg were
appointed executors, and they have en-
tered upon the discharge of their duties.
Judge Miller of Denver yesterday made
an order that the defendants show cause, on
or before Dec. ., why the decree should
not be set aside. Mrs. Powers asserts that
tho dayoraa ,vas securaj nv fraud since
she never received any intimation of di-
vorce proceedings, and that her late hus-
band never left Boston. She further as
serts the divorce was secured to defraud
her out of bis wealth in favor of another.

SHARP DISCUSSIONS
Arose in the Trial Of Or. Smith Tor Heresy al
Cincinnati.

CiScISNArI Nov iJ.-The trial of Pro-
fessor Henry Preserved Smith of the Lane
Theological Seminary, for alleging that the
Old Testament contains errors of historic
fact, and the inspired authors of Chronicles
and other inspired writer's of the Old Tes-
lament were guilty of suppressing sundry
truths, was resumed in the First Presby
terian church before the presbytery of
Cincinnati this morning.
Reading of the minutes of yesterday 5
proceedings led to long and sharp discus
sion this morning. The temporary clerk,
Rev. DR.. Francis, read from the minutes
that Prof. Smiths objections to certain
ministers sitting in the ca sc was overruled
by an almost unanimous vote
Rev. DIR. Maxwell said the clerk sat in
judgment 40 times on the case in his min
utes and had 10 right to record that the
vote was almost unanimous. Prof. Smith
began reading his defense to the second
charge which contained the gravest of the
charges against him, namely that he taught
that the inspired author of Chronicles was
guilty of asserting errors of historical
fact and suppressing sundry historic truths.
He had not completed his defense when
DR.. Roberts raised the point of order that
it was not proper for Prof. Smith to incor-
porate in his argument The citations icom
his pamphlet made by the committee on
prosecution in its report
After recess Prof. Smith finished his
argument. He claimed the word inspired
described quality, not the origin of the
Scripture. The Presbytery adjourned un-
til tomorrow

STEAMSHIP SUBSIDIES.
Government Bound by Contracts and Demo.
cratic Congress Cannot AnnuI Them.

WASHINGTON, Nov IL 1t has been
stated that the policy of subsidizing mail
steamship lines would present an opportu-
nifty for Democratic Congress to use the
pruning knife, and it has been averred that
it is likely that appropriation for this
service would be refused by the sd Con-
gress.
There will be at the close of the present
administration eight lines carrying mails to
foreign ports. Contracts have already
been entered into for three more lines to
begin in 1898,
Appropriations have been made for the
cos, of the service on eight of these lines
which amount, for the year, to nearly ST.
900 900, the estimated cost of the additional
service already contracted for, is about 81
600 900 yearly, The contracts are legal
documents. and the government is bound by
them.
1t is stated that if Congress refuses to
appropriate the money, the steamship com
panies have legal recourse to the court OF
claims, to compel faithful performance of
all obligations assumed by the government
under contract.

NO PARDON FOR MRS. MAVERICK.
The British Governments Reply to . Petition
ior Her Release.

WAsnIScroN, Nov. l5.--The case o.
Mrs. Maybrick. the young American
woman confined in Waking prison, on i
life sentence for the murder of her hus
band. near Liverpool, several years ago. is
the subject of renewed agitation. Cal
Hamilton, the well-known writer, has taker
deep interest in the case. and it wa
largely through her efforts that petition
was sent 10 Queen Victoria asking that tn,
unfortunate woman be pardoned and re
leased from prison.
The petition was based on the assertions
that no proof was addnced on the trial OF
Mrs Maybrick to connect her with the
crime itself was not proved. In support OF
these assertions, Mr.. Addison, q. C., NJ
p, the leading counsel for the prosecution
was quoted as prersisting in saying up Il
the last moment, even after the Judges
summing up, "that the jury could not
especially in the view of the medical eyi'
dence, find verdict of guilty
This petition was signed by Mrs. liarri-
son, the wives of the members of the Cabi'
net, including Mrs. Blaine, and many
prominent ladies all over the country. II
was forwarded to England, and ultimately
found its way to the office of the home
secretary. The petition received a semi.
official character by being forwarded
through the state department and the nited
States Legation in London, and the response
to it was communicated direct to this
government by the British officials.
This reply, which has not been made
public, is reported to be exceedingly causti,
in its terms, so much so in fact as to cause
Gail Hamilton, in her last letter on the sub
ject, to refer to it as 'senseless, vulgar
and brutal insolence toward friendly Re
publican nation pleading for its owr
citizens The response is said to charac'
terize the petition as the most impuden'
paper that ever found its way to the Office
of the home secretary and wholly unpre
cedented.
opportunities are still made at the state
department to interest itself in Mrs. May
bricks behalf, but il is probable thai
further efforts in this direction will be con
fined to individuals and be of an unotiica
character.

HARD TIMES IN ENGLAND.
British Farmers Complain That Free Trade is
Hurting Them.

LoSpoS, Nov. l5.--The farmers OF
Great Britain make fresh complaints daily
of the hard times. They are badly pinched
by the adverse condition of trade. and
many of them are beginning to turn to the
fair traders for aid. The protection senti-
meni has grown steadily among them re.
Gently from small beginnings. and at Ret
ford on Saturday the farmers of the north
Nottingham district passed resolutions
against free trade
These resolutions say that the present
fiscal arrangements of the government and
the system Of free imports are injurious to
the agricultural interests" The meeting
also decided to organize associations OF
farmers. landowners and agricultural la.
borers TO urge upon the government the
necessity of a change in the commercial
policy The agitation along these lines is
spreading and the men behind it are hoping
for Tory sympathy and support.

CHICAGO MAY FEEL EASY.
No Danger Of Cholera from Worlds Fair
Goods Via Hamburg.

BERLIN, Nov. 15.-The sending of Ger.
many's exhibits to the Worlds Fair by the
way of Hamburg has caused considerable
uneasincss in Chicago, according to letters
received here. Privy Councillor Wermutli,
Imperial German Commissioner to the
Worlds Fair, said to the Associated Press
correspondent that it was true that most of
the German exhibits were sent by way of
Hamburg, because it was the most direct
and convenient way, but that there was no
danger whatever.
Prof. Koch said 1T is out of the qucs-
ton that goods passing through Hamburg
should carry cholera germs. II has never
been known that new goods carried such
germs. Cholera may he spread by human
beings or by the soiled clothing or linen of
cholera patients but never by goods packed
in wooden cases or by iron or stone.
1--WE knew these facts before, and the re-
cent Hamburg epidemic has simply con
tirmed our opinion that only through con
tact with infected persons on their clothes
could cholera be spread
"If Chicago will take the proper steps to
keep people from infected districts away
from the Fair she need fear no invasion of
that dread spectre, cholera though the Ger
man exhibits we're carried through Ham
burg"
Mr.. John, the United States Consul a,
Hamburg, was in Berlin recently, having
come here to take his family back to Ham
burg--a sign, by the way, that the danger
has passed for the present at least. Con-
sui johnson said that not single package
was allowed to leave Hamburg for America
without thorough disinfection.
