ConfidinR Joseph Is Astonished
Upon His Return From the
Occur d 'Alenes.
Married In Helena, Divorced in Butte
Joseph n. and Mary Il. Williams
and Fred Lnbeau. .-

BUTTE, Feb. 15.-lSpecial. Joseph f.
Williams and wife were married in Helena
in June, 1877. After living there few
years they came to Butte. About a year
ago Williams went to the Ctsur d'Alene
country and worked at the Poorman mine,
remaining there until it closed few weeks
ago. Williams returned to Butte last
week to find to his great surprise that his
wife had been divorced from him and mar
ried to another man. Williams claimed
that he and his wife corresponded steadily
during their separation, and that he received
letters from her even after she was divorced
and married to another. He claims that he
received no notification OF intimation of a
suit for divorce against him. The court
records SHOW that Mary +. Williams ap-
piled for divorce from Joseph E. Williams
on Fob. TO- 1891, few days after Williams
claims to have left Butte. In the COM
plant Mrs. Williams asks for the property
in Centervilie, which she claimed TO own,
and for the custody Of their child. She
claims desertion as grounds for divorce.
The divorce was granted June 26, last, and
short time thereafter she married Fred
Labeau. The new husband and the old
one met Saturday night, which ended in
Labeau being arrested for assault.

Russian immigrants Sent to Quarantine
steamship Companies Exercised.
NEW IoRk, Feb. 15-The steersRe passen-
gers of the City Of Berlin were all trans
ferred to Hoffman Island this morning and
the ship, after being thoroughly disinfeoted
and cleansed, was allowed to proocsd to her
dock. Sixty-seven Russians, steerage pas
sengers OF the steamer HelQenland, were
sent to Hoffman Island. The remainder OF
the Storage passengers were allowed to
proceed with the ship to her dock after
being disnfected. Different trans Atlantic
companies carrying immigrants to this
country are greatly exercised over typhus
fever outbreak, and especially over the
action of the health officer of the port in
qunrantining suoh large numbers of immi-
grants, as the companies are obliged to
support the immigrants while they are in
quarantine. There are now due at this
port large number of steamships, and in
them many OF immigrants from various
parts Of Russia. All these Russians will be
held OH Hoffman's Island for week or ten
days. The agent of the North German
Lloyd Steamship company to-day cabled
instructions to the other side to refuse to
take any moro Russian immigrants. 1t is
probable other companies will take the
same action.

Gentlemen representing the city council,

the Board of Trade rooms yesterday, to
discuss the matter and hear the report of

that the school trustees could donate a
piece Of ground, and the city council ap-
propriate a sufficient sum to construct q
building thut would answer as a place for
public meetings, could accommodate the
public library and also be used by the
school board. The great necessity of
having place where the summer conven-
tions could meet was fully realized. A
committee Of three was appointed to con-
suit with Architect Appleton, to report
Wednesday afternoon, and find out what a
combination building would cost.
j. w. Lawrence. who was present, brought
up the opera house question, told of the
negotiations with Mrs. Ming, and said if
that lady would accept the proposition
made her by himself and other gentlemen,
he would guarantee to have meeting place

people of Helena would take hold and help
