THlSIS THE SEQUEL
Result OF Marriage In Waco
Weeks Ago.
WHEN AT THE MUzzLE OF A GUN
A Young Swain Took Unto Himself
IA wife SeemingIy-He sues for Di-
vorce and the Court DEGREES it,
Sensational Episode.

The trial of divorce suit in the
district court, styled w R. Norwood
vs.. Gertrude Carter, which oommenc-
ed yesterday afternoon and which,
from the pleadings, promised develop.
ments of quite sensational character
was cut short about noon today bv
the court.
This suit grew out of an alleged
forced marriage between the parties,
on February 20, 1892, an account of
which appeared in THE News at the
time.
THE PETITION.
The plaintiffs petition alleged that
on the above date the ceremony of
marriage between plaintiff and de-
PENDANT was celebrated and performed
according to the forms of law,
license having, on said day, been for
maly issued ard the ceremony per.
formed by an off ser authorized by law
to perform the same, but that while in
answer to questions propounded by
said officers in connection with the
obtaining of said license and during
the said marriage ceremony, no ap-
peared to voluntarily answer the OBJ
legations of legal marriage with the
defendant, he in truth and in fact did
not so assert and agree to said mar
rage, but was unlswfully constrained
and compelled by force and arms, and
against his will, to enter into said
marriage relation with defendant
Before the performance of the cere-
mony the defendant knowing the un'
willingness and refusal of plaintiff to
marry her and oonspiring with
E. G. OVERLY and E. E. Lark and
others, and aided and abetted by
said persons, by force and arms anC
threats to take the life of plaintiff il
be refused to comply with their de-
mand or offered resistance, compelled
plaintiff to accompany them to the
court house and to apply for and OBJ
tain the marriage license and indicat
assent to the performance of the mar
riage ceremony with the defendant
that though he rehearsed and assume
the marriage vows, yet his assent wa
not voluntarily and freely given, an
therefore the said marriage was illega
null and void.
The petition further alleges that h
refused to recopize defendant as hi
wife or the binding effect of any obi
cation assumed at or imposed by sal
illegal marriage and still refuses an
will ever refuse to in any way II
cognize said ceremony as vrlia an
legal marriage.
The plaintiff therefore prayed for

bill which avered that the
pretended marriage was
brought about by force and
threats and that plaintiff never
consented to said pretended marriage.
Plaintiff denied that he ever lived
with, cohabited with or had any
sexual intercourse with her since his
forced, pretended and SO called mar
rage.
The evidence on the part Of the
defendant was closed about 1870
this morning when the first witness
on the part of the defendant was in-
tIoduced.
Several witnesses for defendant, in
GLIDING the defendant herself, were
introduced and all acknowledged that
force was used to bring about the mar,
riage, whereupon Judge Goodrich cut
off any further testimony and entered
the decree of divorce, Tor the reason
that it was shown that the marriage
was under duress and hence void
A great number of wit
nesses were summoned on the part of
the plaintiff, it is said, to prove the
allegations of the plaintiff with regard
to the want of chastity on the part OF
defendant but it was thought not
necessary 10 introduce them.
The plaintiff was represented by
Pearre and Boynton and Jones, Ken
dial and Sleeper, and the defendant by
Judge W. Fl. LEASING.

Complaint has been filed before
Justice Harrison against the plaintiff

A Lumberman's Rendezvous.

This term might be applied to Stevens
Point, located on the Wisconsin Central
Lines, at the gateway to the vast forest
region which extends north to Lake
Superior, distance of 200 miles without
a break, on account of its vast lumber
interests. The Wisconsin River to
which the lumbermen have given the
familiar and somewhat affectionate title
of Old Wiscons," not alone acts as a
lumber feeder to the city by furnishing
through it's numerous tributaries an out
let for thousands of acres of pine in the
upper country, but it furnishes water
that is second only to that of Neenah
and Menasha, which cities are also locat-
ed on the Central Millions of feet of
lumber are cut every year, giving employ
ment to hundreds of men. In addition
to the lumber trade, it has numerous
other manufactures; 1t is where the large
car shops of the Wisconsin Central Lines
are located.

information apply to G. F. Mcneil, Gen.

entire morning session was devoted to a
discussion of the proposition to seat the
lay delegates separate from the clergy,
which was finally carried.
Afternoon Session.
The conference reassembled at p.
m. in the Exposition hall where all fu-
ture sessions will be held, and attempt
ed to get through the task of securing
seats. This was no easy job. DR..
Shickley attempted to have the motion
to allow lay delegates to choose seats by
themselves reconsidered, and succeeded
in getting it so modified that after
layman wanted to sit among the preach
ers he could. Then wordy wrangle
ensued on the allotment of seats. A
colored brother, Rev. r. E. Gillian, of
Missouri, secured the first seat and took
the best one in the house amid much
laughter. At o'clock all the seats had
not been assigned, as quite a number
were insinuating that they were not
getting fair shake (of the hatl. "Praise
God from Whom all Blessings Flow"
was sung and the delegates adjourned.
The delegates and visitors were ten
dered reception in the evening by the
mayor and city officers. The meeting
was called to order by Bishop Newman,
of Omaha, and after the usual devo-
tional exercises, Mayor George P. Bemis
was introduced and delivered the ad-
dress of welcome. Hon. Fl. D. Estra-
brook, whose fame as an orator extends
even to the national capitol, spoke on
"Our Guests and Ourselves" "West-
ern Methodism" was the theme OF an
excellent speech by Judge Jacob Faw-
cett. The response to the speeches was
by Bishop Bowman, whose silver hairs
and lovable countenance won the hearts
of all.
Among the questions which the con-
ference will be called upon to decide are
those relating to an increase in the
number of bishops, the time limit con-
troyersy, the question of giving the
colored brethren representation on the
board of bishops, and the right Of
women to sit as delegates.
A strong memorial will be presented
to the conference asking it to enact such
legislation as will enable pastors to drop
members who don't support the church
according to their ability, to elect
bishops for eight years without privilege
of reelection, to remove the limit from
the passionate, to provide for the cleo
ton of presiding elders with or without
the nomination of the bishop, and to
give the cabinet with the bishop the
power Of making appointments,
majority of the presiding elders being
sufficient to determine an appointment.
