DIVORCES IN coNNECrICUr.
More than 20, 900 Persons Divorced in the
state since. 1860.

HARTFORD, June II. Connecticut
has been scanning her record ofdlvorces
I'm 1891, which is EN- bodied in the annual
report OF the State Board OF Health, and
is not particularly pleased with II. 1T
shows that the record is growing, al
though the number OF divorce petitions
granted last year was not quite so large
as in 1850, when the high-water
mark was reached. In 1891 400
couples were divorced, and 53G
in the previous year. The report
shows also that since 1860 over 1000
persons have been divorced In this State.
or the l3.lG7 petitions granted in that
period 3, 525 were decreed In New HaYen
county, 2.576 in Hartford county and
2.350i Fairfield county.
The Health Board report gives some
Interesting facts ia the history OF divorce
in this State. From 1917 Till lsi3 the
law was a very stringent one. The first
divorce law was enacted In 1877 and pro-
vided that the marriage bond might be
dissolved only on the grounds OF adult
cry, fraudulent contract and desertlon.
In lsI3 the law was patched up a little,
and habtual intempeTance and In
tolerable cruelty were conceded 20 be
sufficient causes for dissolying
the marital tie. In 1910 the
door to easy divorce was flung vide
open, the law having been amended 10
read that "misconduct such as perma-
nen.ly destroys the happiness Of the
petitioner and defeats the purposes OF
the marriage relation" shall be admitted
as a ground for snnulling the marriage
compact.
The war period was particularly fruit
iui IN divorce petitions, and l.o63 were
granted from 1850 10 1865. New Haven.
as usual, led the counties with record
OF 400 divorces: Hartford was next with
397, and then Fairfield with 242. In the
past decade New Haven county still
maintained It's lead, with over 1900 d.
yorces. 1t was believed that the repeal
of the so-called Omnibus" clause OF
the law in 1877 would greatly reduce
the States output OF divorces, and IL
seemed 10 do so when the number OF de-
crees dropped TO 3l6 in 1879. but In 1883
the divorce business was more brisk
than ever before.
Another interesting feature OF the
Boards report IS the statement that at
least two-ttirds Of the petitioners for
divorce are women. The FIRST and last
divorces ordered by the Connecticut
Legislature were for parties In STRAIT
ford. BY authority Of the General
Court ia May, 1855. the magistrates OF
That village divorced Goody Beckwith
from her husband On the ground OF de-
sertiOn.

AN INVESTIGATION
OF the Methods by Which Harrison Sc
cured His Nomination Suggested Con-
gress May Look Into the Matter on



ciaily.
Special Tele0r0m TO the REGISTER.
WAsHISGToy, ID. c.. June 14-The stories
told here by men returning from Minnea-
polis of the swarms Of federal officials who
were there in Harrison's interest have pro-
duced deep impression.
IL Is an undisputed fact that over 10 OF
the delegates 10 the Convention were led
eral officials appointed by Harrison and
these men were at Minneapolis neglecting
their duties and violating the spirit and
letter of the Civil Service law trying 10
secure for Harrison and for themselves
new lease of power.
II is told here that in addition to the
Federal officeholders at the convention as
delegates there were hundreds OF others
evidently sent TO watch them so as TO pre-
vent the anti-Harrison leaders from buy
ing them up.
Among these shadowers, who were
principally from the South. were secret
service agents, postolllce inspectors, inter
nal revenue employees and other men en-
ployed In the government service in a SEMI
detective capacity.
A member Of the Virginia delegation TO
MINNEAPOLIS who was in Washington TO-
day declared that il seemed 70 him that
every federal official, high or low, whom
he knew in Virginia was at MlnneapollS
working quietly or openly, In one way or in
another, 10 insure the nomination OF Harri-
son.
Stories Of this kind cannot be charged TO
Democratic prejudice, for all the anti
Harrison Republican papers OF the coun-
try made them while the convention was in
progress. ~.
Every one who returned here from Min
ne.oolis swelIs the chorus Of the shameless
abuse Of the federal power by this admin
istration and suggestions are heard on all
sides that something Of an Official character
should be done TO Investigate the scandal.
There does not appear 70 be any reason
WHY Congress could not undertake such an
investigation, and there IS general feel-
ing that the occasion demands IT,
Democrats feel tnRt il Harrison made
such illegal use OF his power 70 secure the
nomination. he will go even further IN NO
yember in order 10 carry the election.

AN AwFOL ACCIDENT.
A Ship Load of Petroleum Destroyed In
tho Harbor At Bordeaux.

Tho Harbor at Bordeaux.
BORDEAUX, June l4.-An appalling
accident occurred to-day just outside
the harbor of Blaye, on the river Giron-
do, twenty-four miles northeast OF this
city. Lying off the harbor was the
British steamer Petroia, commanded
by Capt. Hubbsck, which had arrived
June 18th from Philadelphia.
Suddenly there was flash, tremen-
dous roar, and the vessel was apparent
ly blown to pieces Huge fragments
and deck houses were carried upward
10 a great height. The shock OF the
explosion alarmed the town and hum
dreds OF persons rushed to the wharves.
The river was strewn with wreckage
from the Petrolia, and IL was readily
seen that the disaster was due to an ex-
plosion Of gas that had formed from the
petroleum comprising her cargo.
Burning oil was floating on the water.
This drifted with the tide, and Rowing
against several vessels lying at anchor
near by, set them on fire. Two or
three other vessels were ignited by
burning oil which fell on the decks or
rigging. The Petrolia was soon burn
ing furiously, aud the hea: was so In
tense thatit was dangerous for small
boats TO approach near her.
Volumes OF sitting black smoke hung
over and around the burning steamer.
Sixteen OF the crew were rescued. The
survivors said that there were
twenty others on board the vessel when
the explosion occurred, and another
search was made in the vicinity OF the
burning ship in the hope OF saving more
lives, but not body was found, and 1t
is believed that every one OF these
twenty men perlshed.
Later information from Blaye shows
that a thunder storm was prevailing at
the time the explosion occurred and
that the disaster was caused by light
ming striking the vessel
