WEIGH GETS BACK.
He Answers His Wife's Charges
With More Serious Ones.

A short time ago Amanda WEIGH asked the
district court to grant her a divorce from her
husband, George. She charged that he was
cruel to her, by means of always displaying a
bad temper and calling her foul names
WEIGH filed an answer yesterday, and it
throws very different light on the case.
WEIGH admits that he was in the habit of dis
PLAYING a violent tenn per. and had used i'm
pressive language in several cases. Then he
tells why. In the first place, the answer al
leges. Mrs. Gordon. mother of Mrs. WEIGH,
obj ected TO the marriage. She didn't like
WEIGH, and even the tying of the knot did
not subdue her dislike. Since the marriage,
Welch alleges, she has done everything in
her power to make life burden for him and
bring about the state of affairs which now
exists. By her untlring efforts ii seems, Mrs.
Gordon finally induced her daughter 10 lose
what love she felt for her husband. When
she reached this point WEIGH states his
wife displayed very unpleasant attitude
toward him. 1t was these displays which
caused his iil-temper and profanity.
In addition to this WEIGH charges that his
wife has been unfaithful to him. The
answer states that on Dec. 3, 1891, at their
rooms in the Florence fats, Mrs WEIGH sat
on the lap of one w. C. Moore with her arms
about his neck On Dec. II, WEIGH alleges,
this intimacy grew to be criminal they com
hitting adultery in Moore's room. WEIGH
thinks the above sufficient to entltle him to
the divorce, and he asks that he receives it.

The jury DISAGREED.

The suit of Mrs. Ella j. Rogers against
The Northern Pacific Railway Company in
the United States circuit court did not re-
ouire the usual amount Of time to get to the
fury. 1t was commenced Monday afternoon
and given to the jury yesterday morning
The Jury, however, does not propose to inau-
gurate new order of things, and therefore
necessitates drawing out by disagreeing:
The Rogers case is replaced by the suit of
Mis- Paulsen against The Minneapolis Street
Railway Company for $4,000 personal in
juries. The complaint states that Paulsen
was driving a delivery wagon Oh University
avenue on Nov. 25 last year. Without sig
mailing to him to get out out Of the way, an
electric car driver allowed his car to run into
the delivery wagon, upsetting it. Paulsen
was thrown out violently and received per-
manent injuries: His left side is partially
paralyzed, and he has to move about on

CALLED TO ORDER.
r. b. Winston Elected Temporary
Chairman Of the Convention.

Normanna hall was chilly at 10 o'clock
when the delegates to the convention
began to assemble. Nearly all of the
400 we're on hand by the time the hour
for calling to order came. G. NJ. Foote
sat upon the stage looking like man
of elegant leisure rather than the hard
worked chairman of county commit
tee. A. j. Mullen, the secretary of the
county committee, sat at MI. Foote'S
left hand, and both were almost buried
beneath the mass Of papers that floated
in bearing the credentials. Down on
the floor the managers" were fitting
hither and thither, some ''settlng up
the pins,'' others hustling for proxies,
and still others looking for the right
people to take proxies. Men suspected
their nearest friends and talked under
the breath.
On the stroke of IL o'clock Mr.. Foote
arose, pounded the table with his sill
ver-headed walking stick, and said:
1.-The convention will please come to
order and listen to the reading Of the
call"
A shutting of feet, the buzz of part

who sat at distance from his ''lieuten

bled in Hennepin county, and one of
the highest character. Chairman FoOte
But Morse's substitute prevailed and
She roll call began. The calls of "Win-
Uton' rolled in fast at the start. The
First ward was all that way. In the
Second ward Brown got some, and they
were beginning to come faster when the
end of the Third was reached. Then
Brown arose, withdrew his name and
moved that the election of z. b. Winston
be made unanimous. Itwas accordingly
done. The new chairman was pre-
scented by Mr.. Foote and received with
applause. :.
"Gentlemen," said he. "while would
much rather you had elected some other
chairman, am compelled to accept the
honor that is thrust upon me, coming so
unanimously from the Democrats of
Hennepin county. The next order of
business is the appointment of tenn
porary secretary"
Alex Mullen was promptly nominated,
and as promptly declined. There was
a call for the election of two secretaries,

when James w. Lawrence was III the
middle of the floor and had secured the
recognition of the chair, his eye fash
Ing and bis voice ringing.
THE gentleman says he is in favor of home
rule, he shouted, ''but, like Mr. Balfour, ne
Is not in favor of enforcing it, Shame upon
the talk we are having about tricks! The
idea of that man land his eve darted blue
flame at Ed Stevens) getting up here and ac-
cusing me of trickery. My reputation as
Democrat is unsullied. We want the conven-
ton to choose these delegates, not one man.
This is not any mans convention, but
Democratic convention. We don't want any
cut and dried programmes here
Mr.. Lawrence said further, that he
was speaking only in the interest OF
Democracy. He was not leading any
fight on p. B. Winston-in fact, he was
only waiting the opportunity to move to
instruct the state delegation to vote for
p. B. Winston for delegate at large to
Chicago, and G. M. Foote as district
delegate. A. T. Ankeny mildly COM
batted the Lawrence motion on the
ground that it was an innovation.
81 thought we came up here to Demo
cratic convention" said John Lally, from
point close to the platform where he could
not be overlooked, as he was several times
earlier in the day. I'VE did not come up
here to see fifteen stars totell us who shall
go to st. Paul to the convention and VINO
shall not. 1t is not Democratic"
The previous question was moved and
the vote called for. There was roar
of ayes, and another roar. moment
later. of noes. The most sensitive ear
could not distinguish the difference be-
tween the volume of ayes and noes. so
evenly was the convention divided.
The vote was really ON the previous
question. A roll call vote was called
for before the question was put, and
called for again after it had been put,
and before the decisions of the chair
had been announced. And the chair
man ruled that the Lawrence substitute
had been defeated. The call for ayes
and noes went unheeded. Then the
Cameron-Cloutier motion was adopted.
Pending the making up of the COM
mittee to select the tifty-one delegates,
the following report of the committee
on resolutions was adopted:
The Democracy of Hennepln county in
convention assembled declare their unfalter-
ing trust in Grover Cleveland, and demand
of our delegates to the national convention
that they stand by him first, last and all the
time until O nomination is made And the
convention also expresses its abiding belief
in the justice of the Democratic demand for
a substantial reduction in tariff taxes and
that its candidates and delegates shall repre-
sent that idea

THE LUMBERMEN.
The Mississippi Valley Association
Holds Meeting and Talk In


diCtment.
The Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's as
ISOLATION held its regular semi-annnal meet
ing Yesterday at the West hotel. Among the
outside lumbermen who attended were:
William j. Young Jr., Clinton, To-; A. u
rich, Rice Lake. Wis; John r. Davis and
George II. Davis, Phillips, Wis; Frank But
ton, Louisiana; George II. Atwood, Still
water: Eugene Shaw. Eau Claire, Wis; Capt.
Reilly, st. Panl; II. Mccormick, Hay
ward, Wis.
The meeting wBs an interesting one, mas
much as the indictments found against
President B. F. Nelson and the directors of
the association. for conspiracy and forming
q trust formed the major portion of the dis,
cussion. President Nelson, in his address,
touched upon the matter in the following
manner:
1.-THE officers have found that in the ma
jority of trade centers, lumber was being sold
at higher price than had been named in
any official list, and that the time seemed to
Justify the prices. A lack of uniformity was
found, q certain grade being sold high at one
place and low at another. Acting on the
instructions of the association at its last
meeting the directors made new list, which
was so cents higher than the one adopted
at Minneapolis, which was at that time
probably the lowest list in force at any
OF the distributing points. About month
later than the September meeting 1t was
brought TO the attention OF the direct
ors that lumber was higher in many
places than the prices on the official list At
the suggestion of members the directors
made new lists, slightly higher than the one
sent out in September. These facts have
been recited somewhat fully because of this
action on our patt all the members of the.
board of directors. four in number, have
been indicted for conspiracy under the Sher-
man antitrust law. The directors have no
fear that the indictments will result in any.
thing except expense and annoyance They
are conscious that their actions are no viola
tons of the law. To be violation of the
law there must be monopoly, and the price
must be unreasonable. AS matters stand now
there are absolutely no restrictions in the
lumber business and the prices are not I'M
reasonable. AS matter Of fact, the prices
are lower than for years and yield only liy-
ing profit. We believe however, that what
has been accomplished within the scope of
the association is a Justification for its exist
ence and its continued support Although
there are more than 800 manufacturers in the

and Aid. John T. MCGOWAN and j. L.
Kiichli were chosen.
The appointment of committees was
next i'll order, among them committee
Oh permanent organization. Frank
Morse said that, as there was no doubt
about the sentiment of the convention,
the temporary organization might as
well be made permanent, and so moved.
He was blocked by point Of order
from Scion Armstrong. After recess
of twenty minutes. the following COM
mittee appointments were announced:
Credentials - First ward, Perry Long;
Second, Scion Armstrong, chairman; Third,
George Horton; Fourth, John T. Byrnes;
Fifth. G. 5. Walraven; Sixth, Harry W.
Eggeling; Seventh, NJ. j. Lally: Eighth, Z.
A. Stevens; Ninth A. L. Montgomery;
Tenth. Charles McAllister; Eleventh, John
F. Barber; Twelfth, George Peterson; Thir-
teenth, A. s. Reyes; country, Uerm an Helm,
Edward Egan.
Resolutions-S. A. March. A. T. Ankeny,
Frank L. Morse, j. E. Woodford. D. b.
johnson, Baldwin Brown, 4. P. Herring.
An attempt had been made to adjourn
before the appointment of these COM
mittees, and another was made after the
announcement. J.. w. Lawrence spoke
against it and it was defeated. lie also
spoke of the present being a good time
to patch up all differences and suggest
ed that, where there were contesting
delegations, both be admitted. G. r.
Cameron and Ed Stevens saw scheme
III that and opposed it. Then the COM
mittee on credentials retired to wrestle
with the Holbrook-Paige contest in the
Thirteenth precinct of the Fourth.

Mr.. Brooks address was straight DEM
ocratlc, for Cleveland all the time.
James w. Lawrence was called for and
responded with personal statement.
He thought he was entitled to that priv
ilege as Democrat who had spent his
time and money for the party without
aspiring to anything above being regard
ed as worker in the ranks
But gentlemen he continued. "you have
sat here in this convention hall today and
seen the Democratic county committee

from this stage. 1t has been said that to the
victors belong the spolls: but / say, to the
workers in the party belong It's honors. Mr..
Foote did more to carry our ticket through in
SIS than any other one man. There is no
doubt that Mayor Winston is the recognized
head of the Democratic party in Minneapo-
lis. Let US unite the party on the eve of a
presidential election; let us send both these
gentlemen to the national convention, both
prepared to work tor, nominate and help
elect Grover Cleveland next president of the
United States''
Speeches, brief ones, were also made
by a. Il. Ankeny. d. B. Johnson, Matt
Walsh and e. NJ. Foote. Johnson's was
the most interesting, in that he again
took up the matter of his having been
blackballed by the Cleveland club, and
reaffirmed his Democracy and his devo-
ton to Grover Cleveland.

Winston won in the county eonven-
don.
Foote won in the county convention.
Take your choice of the two. That is
the way the partisans of each man look
upon. or pretend to look upon, the re-
suit of the convention held yesterday in
Normanna hall. Winston was elected
chairman of the convention. He heads
the delegation to st. Paul. He has
the Endorsement of the county for
place on the delegation to the national
convention as delegate at large. That
is why his friends say he won the fight
yesterday. Foote is a member of the
delegation to the st. Paul convention.
The county has Endorsed him for place
OH the delegation to the national con-
vention as district delegate. That is
why his friends say he won in the fight
yesterday.
James W. Lawrence's speech, while
the committee OH credentials was at
work, started the independents of the
convention 10 thinking. When Law
rence's motion, relating to the manner
Of choosing the delegates to st. Paul,
was under discussion. and when Ed
Stevens made his speech about tricks"
drawing out IIawrence's spirited reply,
the Independents were stirred up
little more. They voted that time,
good and strong, but, possibly through
an oversight, their votes were not
counted. After the committee on dele
gates had returned and reported, the
effort that was made to shut off James
W. Lawrence's instructing motion was
nipped in the bud, and nipped en-
phatically. At any time from the mo-
ment the convention was called to
order a vote by roll call would have
shown that the minority in the con-
vention was strong, though minority,
and that it was growing constantly. UNI
til it finally emerged from minor condi-
ton and became full-tledged majority.
There was not the shadow of oppOSl-
tien to sending Mayor Winston to Chi
cago as delegate at large. There was
opposition to allowing any one to name
all Of the delegation to st. Paul, ana to
Chicago from the Fifth district, and to
allowing any one to manage the con-
VentiOn as he chose, without regard to
the wishes OF the other delegates.
III at least one respect the convention
Of yesterday was peculiar. 1t was an
earnest convention, full of men who
were deeply interested in what they
were doing, so interested that they could
not tear themselves from the hall until
the last piece of business had been dis
patched, yet there was an unusual lack
of applause for any one, even for the
magic name of Grover Cleveland.

wanted to know the time was after him. For
two blocks the chase was a lively one, and
Mr. Blaine demonstrated that he had thor

to do so, and kept on until he reached Sixth
