Mrs. Coils Takes Another Husband Before
Getting Divorce from the First.

CHICAGO. Feb. 4.-Mrs Imogene B. Coils.
of New York. according to developments
here to-day, has apparently rushed into q
second matrimonial affair without first be-
ing divorced from her first husband. Jan.
16, last Mrs Coils appeared before Judge
Shepard, in this city. with an application for
legal separation from George r. Coils. of
the Whiting Manufacturing Company. in
New York. She accused her husband of
cruelty. and after she finished her story the
court distinctly said that he would require
moro evidence. Seemingly needless of this
remark the attorney had the testimony
written up and presented, but decree, it
was ascertained this afternoon. has not
been entered. Jan. 81 there appeared In
the Sunday Call, Newark, N. j., the follow
ing announcements:
Eighth ward residents learned with interest
last week of the marriage of william II. Lyon,
the brewer, and Mrs. Imogene (Collis) Bishop.
The ceremony was performed In the presence OF
two friends at the St. PauPs NJ E. Church
parsonage on Jan. 90. The troubles of George
Coils and his wife and Mr.. Lyon caused some
sensation two years ago. Subsequently Mrs.
Coils obtained a divorce in the West and re-
sumed her maiden name, Bishop. On the 10th
paired to the Rev. Mr.. Parsous's residence, and
there were made man and wife.
Judge Shepard was asked tonight
whether he would enter the decree nunc
pro tune as ON the day it was heard.l"Why.
no." ne replied. II don't propose to enter
q decree if she has married again. i told
her she must have more evidence. IL the
report is true she can't get q divorce now
because OF her own misconduct.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Lrman j. Gage, the
well-known Chicago banker and member
of the local directory of the Columbian
Exposition. who came to the city over Q
month ago. and under went difficult sur
gicsl operation at the Holland House.
where he has been convalescing ever since.
will leave for the South shortly. He said
to-day that he felt better than he did be-
fore the operation. because he had had
long rest from business. and his nerves
were in normal condition. After week
or so in q warmer climate he hoped TO re.
turn to Chicago completely restored in
health. His devoted wife has been with
blm ever since he was tsken sick.
At one time Mr. Gage was president of
the local board of the Columbian Exposi-
ton. and no one connected with the enter.
prise has given more attention to It. He
said that it would cost to open the exposi-
tion on May !. 1893. the sum of $1,000. 900.
He added: Tho sum is larger than was
anticipated when the act of Congress was
approved. The local corporation Will. un-
additional will have to come from some
other source At first the local directory
thought that the best plan would be to
borrow S5,000,O00 from the United States
government. After mature reflection we
have decided that the plan proposed
is inadequate. because If we should borrow
from the government only $5,000.000 q
pledge of gate receipts might be required,
and possibly individual guarantee besides
If we borrow on that plan we can depend
upon our own resources and get the money
either from home or elsewhere. But with
this So, 600, 900 secured there would still be q
deficiency of SO, ,OOO, ,OO0." hir. Gage thought
that if the S5.000OO0 was raised from the
government 1t would not be difficult to Sc
cure tho other S2,0O0,000 by o temporary
loan of cay from one to SIX months. for
which the enterprise would be responsible.

STRONG In FAITH.
Indians Still Believe Their Messiah Will
Come and Destroy the Pale Faces

CHICAGO. Feb. 4.-Capt. Eli L. Huggins.
aid-de-camp to General Miles, returned
this morning from an extensive trip
through Indian Territory. He was sent
there to investigate and report on the ru-
mors of ghost dancing among the Indians.
"The Arapahoe. Cheyenne and Usage In
dians still cling to the belief that the Mes
siah will some day appear to save them."
said Captain Higgins. 'and they are not
at alldisappointedi in the failure of the Mes
siah to como among them last year.
They 90 not pretend to know the date of
his coming. The former frenzy among
them and their excited dances have given
way Co q quiet belief, which has almost be-
come religion with them. that the whites
are TO be destroyed and the Messiah will
come. There is no excitement among the
whites who live on the land bordering on
the reservations, and no excitement is at all
apparent. because no outbreak is feared"
Captain Hugglns witnessed the distribu-
tion of cattle for food for the Indians at
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe agencies. The
cattle were supplied by contractor. and
were so poor and thin that Little Chief OBJ
jected to them. The officer who inspected
the cattle rejected them. An investigation
showed that all the poor and worthless
cattle were given to the Indians the fatter
ones being shipped TO the markets.

SURPRISED THE JUDGE.
Unusual Request of an Attorney for the
Whisky Trust, Which Was Refused.

Boston, Feb. A most unusual applica.
tion was made to Judge Nelson In the
United States District Court to-day by
counsel for the Whisky Trust
Assistant District Attorney Wyman had
come before the court with the grand jury
to ask that the latter be excused until Feb.
16. when Charles A. Prince, counsel for the
trust, addressed the court and said that in
view of the fact that it was reported that
the trust was to be indicted by the grand
jury. and in view of the fact that Judge
Nelson on Tuesday had charged the jurors,
and especially with regard TO q violation of
the antitrust law, he would ask permission
TO present before the grand jury members
of the trust and others as witnesses in
order that it might be shown that there
had been no violation of the law.
Judge Nelson asked, with an appearance
of some surprise. If it W as desired to bring
before the grand jury persons against
whom 1t was proposed TO find indictments,
and in receiving an affirmative reply he
perem ptorlly declined to allow such course
to be pursued. He said that the district
attorney had the power to call any persons
he might desire as witnesses, but further
than that no witnesses could be allowed in
the grand jury room. The court intimated
that he was surprised at such motion bein z
made. The jury were then excused until

CRITICISED BY DR.. SHRADY.
Experts at the Trial of Wife Poisoner Harris
Accused of Contradicting Each Other.

NEW YORK. Feb. 4-The Medical Record,
edited by DR.. George f. Shrady. will. In i is
next Issue. publish the following interest
ing article on the recent poisoning case
which resulted in the conviction Of Carlyle
w. Harris for the murder of his wife. Dr.
Shrady writes:
''As might have been anticipated, it was
not difficult to make these experts fatty
contradict each other on essential points,
and hopelessly muddle the unsoientitc
brains of the jury. But this display of con-
Trajectory evidence was not without its
lesson to the student of medical jurispru-
dence in emphasizing the necessity Of i'm
partial scientific commissions, whose func-
tions should be advisory and explanatory
to the court, as opposed to the customs of
experts, who are avowedly engaged to take
the side of one the other. In comment
ing upon the case from scienti tiic point of
view. 1t is fair to say that the evidence
clearly pointed to morphia as the cause of
tho victims death. notwithstanding the
able testimony to the contrary offered by
gentlemen of acknowledged experience in
pathology and the micro-chemistry of
poisons. It was also plainly to be seen
that pathological LESSONS. claimed to have
been possible in the brain and kidneys,
could not be demonstrated weeks after the
burial and when decomposition had CON-
menced."

WARD wATERBURY'S ABDUCTION.
His Cousin and Two Other Men Under Arrest
for the Crime-One Identified.

GREENWICH, Conn.,, Feb. 4.-Charles E.
Waterbury. who abducted his cousin,
eight-year-old Ward Waterbury, on Mon
day, and confined him for two days in his
house at East Stanwich, Conn. was ar
rested at 10 o'clock last night by Deputy
Sheriff selleck. The prisoner 10 said to
have made o confession. Waterbury was
informed that McCann and Sutherland,
his confederates in the kidnapping scheme.
had been arrested and had made confes-
sions. This detected HIM greatly. and he
spent very restless night in the lookup.
At 10 o'clock to-day the three prisoners.
Waterbury, Sutherland and Mccain, were
arraigned before Judge Hoyt. The court
was crowded. District Attorney Walsh
conducted the prosecution.
After several witnesses had been ex-
amined, little Ward Waterbury was put
upon the stand. The boy shuddered as he
related the story of how he was stolen.
Ward was on the stand. Nothing could
shake the boys testimony. He told his
story in q strai aightforward manner and ad-
hered to the facts. MoCann's recital hor-
ritied the spectators. and even ven Judge Hoyt
legged plan to murder his cousin Ward in
cold blood, provided the $4,000 was not
paid. caused q cold shiver to run through
the court-room. Before McCann's examin-
alton was concluded, little Word Water
bury positively identified him as one of the
men who had kidnapped him. The little
fellow had been watching MoCann stead
fastly, while MoCann sought to present
only his full face to the child. But oc-
easionally he forgot himself and turned his
head. Finally Ward exclaimed: That's
the man; ,that's'the man."
Judge Hoyt questioned Ward. and the
latter said he recognized McCann by marks
on his face and the side of his head. That
settled it for McCann.'
Chas. Z. Waterbury and McCsnn were
bound over to the Supreme Court, which
sits at Bridgeport, Feb. 16. They were re.
manded to Jail in default of $1,000 bonds
each. Sutherland was granted until Sat-
urday to procure counsel.

Andrew Carnegie Thinks Canada Should Join
the Sisterhood of American States.

TORONTO, Ont. Feb. 4.-Following is q
copy of letter sent by Andrew Carnegie
to John Patterson. manufacturer, Hamil-
ton, on the 14th of January last:
II am glad to see the subject of the union
of the race upon this continent is attract
ing attention. We have only to consider
the benefits flowing from the union of Scot
land and England to realize what similar
union of Canada and the United States
would bring to both. 1t seems to me little
less than criminal to remain apart. The
American Constitution would not require
the province of Canada to give up any
thing in the way of local government
which it now possesses. Canada would re-
main Just as much for the Canadians as
Scotland remains for the Scotch. The
Spectator is quite right in stating that at
the present there is no indie alton of de-
sire for commercial reciprocity with Cana
da.' How can there be as long as Canada
remains subject to a foreign European
power, with all the dangers that snch ON
unnatural situation involvess There IS
only one way by which Canada can ever
achieve a destiny worthy of her. and that
Is political union with her own race upon
this continent To accomplish this all onr
efforts should be directed, for il is tho
n0blest work of our day."
