SALEM, ORE. Jan. 3.-Supreme court
has rendered a decision in the mandamus
proceedings TO compel the Secretary OF
State I'm making an official canvass Of the
votes cast for presidential electors at the
recent elections 10 abstain from count
ing the votes cast IN the counties where
the name of Pierce Populist-DemocraD
clector, appeared twice on the official
ballot. The court decided I'm favor Of
Pierce, which gives one electoral vote
to the Populists. The court held that the
printing Of Pierce's name on the ballot
more than once was contrary 10 the pro-
visions OF the statute, but that II was an
error OF the county clerk The error, the
court holds. does not deprive the voter
who cast the ballot Of his elective fran
chise or the candidate for whom it was
case the benefit Of such vote.

With three men. Of the murder Of DR.. j.
"a. Hill, Of Chestertown. They now

the sentence Of the court. The evidence
adduced AT the trial was 10 the effect that
the youngest Of the boys was over six
teen years old, and not thirteen, as has

THE STATE ASSEMBLIES.
THE DEMOCRATS OF NEBRASKA
CAPTURE THE HOUSE.
An Offensive Clause in the Supreme Courts
Decision Causes a Sensation When
the Court opens.

OMAHA, NEB., Jan. 3.-Attorneys and
politicians were greatly astonished this
morning when they read in the Omaha
papers what pUrported to be the supreme
courts decision in the KruZ-Norton con-
test for seat as representative from Knox
and Boyd counties. 1t was recognized as
not the decision delivered from the bench.
IT contained a clause nullifying the GER
tihcate now held by Kruz. Populist. This
did not appear I'm the oral decision.
Chief Justice Maxwell caused a SEN
sation at the opening Of court this morn
ing by asking how the offensive clause
came into the printed decision. Justice
Post remarked that IL was inserted by
him POsD and an attorney after the
Chief Justice had left the bench. The
two justices had some angry words about
the matter. IL will be investigated.
Last night County Clerk Won Camp or
Knox county, was captured by messen-
ger from the State Supreme Court ana
ordered to canvass the returns Of Knox
and Boyd counties. Won Camp had al
ready issued a certificate Of election 10
Kruz, the POpulist candidate for the
House but had not canvassed the vote
Of Boyd county. Late last night ne COM
pleted the votes and issued second GER
tihcate Of election TO Norton, Republican.
A messenger sent by the Republican
managers hurried TO Lincoln with the
certificate by stage and train, but so far
as concerns the organization Of the House
all this work is fruitless.
A dispatch from Lincoln says in the
House to-day the Democrats and Inde-
pendents combined captured the tenn
porary organization. In the Senate no
organization was effected. The votes were
divided between the Democrats. Inde-
pendcnts and Republicans, with none
having a majority.
The result of the day clearly indicates
a combination Of Populists and Demo-
Gratis. and makes the reelection Of Sena-
tor Paddock more doublful than ever.

A DIVORCE SUIT.
A Wife Beaten Refuses to Support
His Family.


A suit was filed in the district clerk s
office this morning, in which Johanna
Heiligmann asks for divorce from her
husband, Louis Heiligmann. They were
lawfully married on November Z, 1887,
and have two childred, Edward, aged
four years, and Herman, aged two years.
1t is said that Mrs, Heligmann has been
diligent and faithful wife towards her
husband, and that he has maltreated her
body. Last April he became greatly
excited. He tore his clothes off,
some bills of currency money, and de-
molshed the furniture in the house.
He has also threatened to kill his wife
and to commit suicide. In order to pre-
vent such actions, his wife extracted the
cartridge from the gun, and Heiligmann
then threw the weapon into the well.
He has accused his wife of making her
living by prostitution, and p laintitf al
leges that he has paid his attentions to
other women, and lavished his affections
upon them.
Heiligmann is city cart driver and is
said to earn as much as $50 per month,
while his wife has to earn her living, and
that of her children, by labor, as nurse
at the Orphans asylum. They have
TWO lots of land, and a monthly rental of
50 is received for the use Of same with i'm
provementS

to appear before Judge w. w. King, in
chambers, tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock

has, why the prayer of the petitioner,
asking for alimony and injunction, for
which she also prays, should not be
granted.
This case will be tried in Judge Kings
court next fall.
