DIVORCED BY DEATH.
A Wealthy Detroit Woman Who Fails In
the Courts, Resorts to Revolver.

A Wealthy Detroit Woman Who Fails In
the Courts, Resorts to Revolver.
DETROIT, March 2-Charles W. Ayers, .
prominent business man, formerly partner
in the Richmond-Backus Company, was
shot and fatally injured this evening by his
wife, Annie D. Ayers, at their resi-
dence on Bagley avenue. The cause
of the tragedy runs back through a
number of years. but the climax was brought
about through the Supreme Court rendering
a decision dismissing Mrs. Ayers suit for
divorce, which was first filed last October
and dissolving the injunction restraining
Mr.. Ayers from entering the family resi-
dence
Mr.. Ayers, in consequence thereof, late
this afternoon went to his house and pro-
ceeded to pack up his personal effects. His
daughter demonstrated, and he grew
very excited. Mrs. Ayers soon came in
from the street, and scene fol-
lowed, the details of which have not
been ascertained; but as Mr. Ayers left the
house his wife fired at him with revolver,
but did not hit him. As he was on the
veranda she fired again, the ball entering
the left breast and lodging in the lungs.
Mr. Ayers was Immediately taken to the
hospital but is not expected to live through
the night. Mrs. Ayers was placed under
arrest.

Quartermaster General Greenland in his
report strongly advocates taking the Ma

He says il Is entirely practicable, would

the guard to visit the Fair who otherwise
would not be able to attend.

have been much higher. He also points out
the necessity for attaching more importance

to the number of instances of officers, men
and musicians departing from the prescribed
uniforms.
The following tabulated statements give
the results of the spring and fall inspections
of 1891. At the spring inspections the pos

fall at 100. This must be borne in mind
when comparing the results of the two in

did His particularly showing point was
his chest, which showed him to have guam
tity Of wind.
When Fitzsimmons entered the ring
shout of applause went up, and it was
quite evident that whatever the views of the
sporting men as to the fight, the popular
feeling was with the Australian. When his
coat was removed his audience was able to
appreciate his magnificent muscular devel-
opment. His legs still have the appearance
of being weak and undersized, and this was
more than ever apparent, because his
body looks
So Much Larger Than Formerly,
with the 16 pounds he has added since he
met Dempsey, but closer inspection of the
legs showed that, while undersized, they
were not weak, for they appeared all muscle,
and the sinews stuck out. His chest devel-
opment was even more marked than before,
and his long arms were undoubtedly
fuller, but no one could say that this was
due to any excess of flesh, for nowhere did
the flesh show, and he. seemed a bundle of
muscle and sinews. A glance, however,
heavier and stouter man than before.
The universal verdict was that he slipped
into the ring better man than when be
fought Dempsey, and Fitzsimmons stock
rose appreciatively when the audience saw
him stripped and ready for the fray.
Fitzsimmons was seconded by Jimmie
Carroll, Joe Choynski, Aleck Greggains

AN IMPORTANT MONOPOLY,
As Necessary for the Super as the Actor to

As Necessary for the Super as the Actor to

The veteran actor, Richings, on one occa-
sion at least, found that it was almostas i'm

his dress, and all the performers had taken
their stations for the scene as he came rush
ing on with his daughter to complete the
picture, when, to his horror, he discovered
upon the elevation which they were to oc-
cupv a great, gaunt super in dirty tights,
tin armor and gilt helmet, already In
apotheosis.
"What are you doing there, sir?" gasped
Richings, as soon as he could find breath.
'Standing in ipothisis," responded the
super, who had evidently read the play
bills, and was proud of his position.
"Come down, you scoundrel come down

ined the man was chatting him.
''The manager told me to stand ere in
this ERE 'ipothisis, responded the super,
sturdily, with the air OF a Roman sentinel
ready to die at his post.
"But do you know where you are, sir?''

Tho End in Fitz's Favor.
Round 12-Fitz stock went up as the battle
progressed, and as his left shot into Maher's
sore mouth again the blood responded
freely. The Australian was taking his
time, now, seemingly feeling secure.
Maher's head went back twice with two
heavy lefts, and the Australian stepped
away to avoid punishment. The Irishman
staggered in response to two heavy blows,
and the 1rishman played groggy, to draw
Fitz. The latter would none of him, how

par. He staggered rs he went to his corner,
and gave up the battle.
Fitzsimmons fought a fair fight and offered
a flask to his beaten opponent. FItzsim-
mons himself took hearty pull of the red
stuff, and then congratulated Maher on his
game fight The cheering for Fitzsimmons
was deafening in the extreme, and the same
merciful methods that marked his fight with
Dempsey were offered again to the Irish
champion. The decorum was something
wonderful, and stamps again the Olympics'
great name for fairness and managerial
ability.
Some people commented on Maher's cour-
age when he gave up the fight. but it is only
reasonable to think that he should have
done SO when the superior science and
generalship of the man from Australia is
called to mind.
Fitzsimmons walked around the ring, re-
ceiving the congratulations of his friends.
He certainly proved a wonderful fighter to-
night. and his cleverness with both hands
was really marvellous, and it is bat fair to
say that there are few tricks in the ring and
few hits that Fitzsimmons is unacquainted

blood choked him. said Billy Macy.
"He could not 60 further because he was
unable to breathe. That is the old story.
We have been whipped and are sorry for it.
We have no fault to find with the con-
test. Many sporting men said that
Maher was miserably handled by his
seconds, while others insisted that the
Irishman's stubbornness had great deal to
do with his defeat. 1t is hardly within the
range of possibility that Maher could have
won if he had prolonged the contest, but
the men who backed him would have been
pleased to have seen him make the attempt.
As it was, he did what Dempsey refused to
do--quit before he was knocked out.
Maher's Backers in the Dumps.
Of the 5000 who witnessed the contest
few except those who were backing Maher
were sorry that ne weakened before the In.
evltable knockout blow was administered.
1t was merely question of time. Fitzsim-
mons would have finished him in the next
round. 1t was a gruesome spectacle to see
Fitz round after round drawing blood from
Maher until the formers left boxing glove
was dyed red. On the other hand, do what
he could, Maher could not touch Fitz. He
stuck to it gamely, and every time he hit
at the Australian he was foiled by clever
dodge.
Fitz did not turn a hair during the con-
test, and came out of the struggle without
scratch. The best informed authorities in
the pugilistic world to night freely declare
their opinion that he can whip any man of
his weight in the world.
The preliminary bout between Slavin and
Mitchell did not impress the crowd favora-
bly, with the would-be challenger of Sulli-
van. The audience cheered Mitchell to the
echo, and seemed to delight lin his exhibi-
t1on, but did not enthuse over the Austral-
ian's prowess.
Boston and New York sports are heavy
losers on the fight.

The Baptist Council Recommends tho

vice-The Pastor, Also, Steps Down.
OIL CITY, March 2.-[Special. Rev. G.
A.. Adams. D. D., of Franklin, preached
last night at the Baptist Church in this city.
After the sermon the members of the con-
gregation were requested to remain and
hear the findings of the recent council of
ministers and laymen called to adjust. if
possible, the difficulties existing in the
church.
The findings of the council were then
read. The chief feature of these findings
was that portion which censured the men,
bers of the board of trustees for exceeding
their authority in sending a letter to the
pastor, in which he was given notice that
they would not be responsible for
his salary after the expiration of his second
wear as pastor of the church, which year ex-
pired the 10th of last month. In the judg-
ment of the council, two of the trustees,
Levi Vredenburg and w. P. Fornof,
should resign and apologize, ac-
knowledging that they had e1-
ceeded their authority.
Mr. Vredenburg, with the other members,
resigned as trustees, and Mr.. Vredenburg
last night resigned his position as deacon,
but did not tender and apology. Mr..
Fornof was not present.
The council did not make any recon-
mendation as to what course the pastor,
Rev. E !. McKeever, should pursue, but in
the course of the trouble that gentleman
had explained that, while he desired to
resign, he did not feel that he
could do so honorably. on account
of the attitude the Board of Trustees
had assumed toward him. The findings
of the council made no suggestion on this
point, but at the meeting last night, the
Board of Trustees having resigned, the pas
tor rendered his resignation. to take effect

YEARNING FOR CLEVELAND
Mayor Manning's Heart Not in Sympathy
With His Tongue.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 2.-The strange
reticence of the Albany Argus in regard to
Senator Hill, not single allusion to whom
has appeared upon it's editorial page since
the day of the Albany Convention, has
made Mayor Manning, one of its controll-
ing spirits, the theme of much speculation.
The young Mayor is delegate at large to
Chicago from Hills Albany convention,
and was appointed one of the committee to
escort Senator Hill to the hall after his
nomination.
1t is feared that Mr.. Manning's eloquence
for Hill at the convention will not resemble
that of Demosthenes, and that he is yearn-
ing to fly to his old love, Grover Cleveland.
