Trial That Recalls a Sensational Muir.
der by Former Indiana Man.

SALT LAKE CITY, u. T., Dec. 1S.-The
celebrated divorce case of William H Ir-
vine against Adelaide NJ Irvine, both for
merly of Marion, Ind, was taken UP behind
closed doors in the Third District Court
to-day. Interest attaches to the case from
the prominence, financially and socially, Of
the parties and from the fact that the
plaintiff killed banker c. E. Montgomery,
the alleged despoier of his home, at Lin
coin, Neb., in May, 1891, for which he was
acquitted on a hearing The shooting of
Montgomery, formerly Irvines business
partner in Lincoln, caused a huge sensa-
ton in Indiana, where the 1rvines were
we'll known. Mrs. Irvine's mother and
brother and sister are well-known Marion
people, and equally well known in Wabash,
Ind, where they once resided, and where
Mrs. Irvine, then Addie Smith. was raised.
Irvine had followed his wife and her lover
to Chicago, and then returned TO Lincoln,
where he met Montgomery in a hotel and
shot him to death in the dining room.

TOKEEP THE WOLF OFF
Relief Committee Estimates That a
Thousand Families Are i'm Want.
Responses Received to the Personal Ap-
peals for Contributions for
Charity.

The Commercial Club relief committee es-
Inmates from present indications that be-
fore the week is over there will be one
thousand families in Indianapolis who will
be on the verge OF starvation. The COM
mittee states that this represents about
four thousand persons. Their only hope
for food now rests with the success Of the
efforts of the Commercial Club relief COM
mittee to establish a food market before
the close Of the week. The available funds
of the Charity Organization Society, which
have been used under the direction of the
committee up to this time, will be soon
exhausted. There are now over eight hun
dred families who are being supported.
These have been sufficiently supplied up
to the present time. 1t has been the pur-
pose of the committee to carry on it's work
quietly and therefore no appeal for con-
tributions has been made until within the
last few days, but the need of money can
not now be longer deferred.
Chairman Hanna said yesterday that the
situation was one of extreme gravity.
"These destitute people," said he, ''are here
and must be provided for The committee
has undertaken to care for them, and it will
do so to the full extent of its ability. The
public must do it's part. The committee
mas given lts ume 10 tne work. poIh udy
and night"
The arrangements for the food market
are now being put in shape, and IL the
requisite support is forthcoming from the
public 1t will be open before the close of
the week. The indications are that this
will be given. 1t will be the plan of the
committee to supply food only to persons
OF established residence, who are found to
be in need of aid. These will be given credit
for the purchase OF sufficient quantity
of substantial articles of food to last
as long as may be necessary Fuel and
shoes will also be supplied. The store will
be located in Burfords Building, in the
rear OF the Commercial Club The sub
scriptions and cash contributions which
have been received by the committee to

Settle Quarrel.

Elmer Mitchell and Isaac Miller. two
young negroes Of yellow bridge fame,
quarreled in a Fourth-street saloon, Satur
day night, and went out into the commons
near by to settle the dispute. The trouble
between the two arose over the assertion
of one that he was the superior pugilist.
On arrival at the spot selected for the bat
tie both men decided that raZors would be
more effective They were sent to the sta
ton house yesterday bearing distinct marks
of the fray. Both were charged with as

ADJUSTMENTS.

Sheridan, or the Maid of Bath" the
new play which Mr.. f. H. Sothern will pre-
sent at the Grand tonight and Wednesday
matinee and evening, is a novelty quite dis
tinct from anything in which this talented
young comedian has been seen yet. The
character Mr.. Sothern assumes is that of
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who, as an or
ator, swayed the English Parliament at
the will of his peerless eloquence: an
author he wrote the best English comedies
since the days of Shakespeare; as a lover
ne won the maid of Bath with the point
of his sword and the persuasiveness of his
tongue. Some of these facts used for
the action Of the present play and the per-
sons known 20 have shared in them are
brought forward the characters of the
present production. The scene OF the play
is at Bath, the social center of England
hundred years ago. and the surround
ings are said to be in exquisite taste The
scenic appointments and costumes illustrate
England in the period of her gayest and
most gallant humor, and Mr.. Sothern's per-
slstent effort has been TO have them as
thoroughly correct as are the facts which
are the foundation of his new play.
Park Theater-HopIxins Specially Co.
The Hopkins Transoceanic Speciality Com

there is such thing as something new
in a vaudeville entertainment without hav-

performers. The company is made up of q
number Of and women who do acts
as novel as they are entertaining. Heading
the list is the Lars Larsen family four
women and a man, whose acrobatic act is
a marvel of grace and daring. In addition,
two of the women do startling act on
horizontal bars. Eddie and Josie Evans, In
a sketch; Will II. Fox, in his clever mono
logue act and piano playing: pretty little
Ada MelroSe, In new speciality; Kara, the

modeler in clay; the Brothers Dixon, mu-
sical clowns, and Clayton and Jenkins make
a bill such as has never before been seen
here in a speciality show. Not only are the
acts all new, but they are all free from
vulgarity and coarseness. The theater was
packed at both performances yesterday
and like state of affairs may be expected

ton that has never been equaled here

CURRENT COMMENT.
A GREAT ARTICULATION.
New York SUM-

The Tribune announces that 'by &C
tual count the bona fide circulation of
the New York Weekly Tribune, all paid
up subscriptions for one year, was on
Jan. 16 last ia, 900 copies per week"
That is a very great circulation, and
the Tribune is justified in publishing the
amount as an interesting piece of infor-
nation. Tt is not necessary for our
neighbor to make affidavit to the fact.
Its simple statement is enough. If the
word Of newspaper as to such matter
is not entitled to belief, its oath also is
worthless and carries no weight with the
public. The mere circumstance that the
publisher of a newspaper feels it requi-
Site to have some of his servants swear
to the truth of his statements of its cir
culation, is confession that the paper
has the reputation Of lying; and every
body knows it is as easy to lie under
oath as to lie without an oath. A man
who can't get people to believe his word
has the same difficulty in getting them
to believe his oath.
The Tribune is square Republican
paper, and it owes it's great success to
that fact. Never before in it's history,
according to the general impression in
the newspaper world, was it more pros
porous than it is at the present time.

THE REDUCTION IN WATER RATES,

The settlement Of the, water question
by the substantial reduction of 80 per
cent in the rate to individual takers will
be pleasant news to the citizens of Port
land. The movement which has result
ed in this reduction was set on foot dur
ing the administration of Mayor Melcher
and has been prosecuted vigorously ever
since by the water commission and their
counsel Messrs. Seth l.. Larrabee and E.
M. Rand. A great deal of work has been
required to get at the facts and several
unavoidable delays have occurred due to
circumstances entirely beyond control.
But the case has been pressed to con-
clusion with all the vigor possible, and
its preparation and presentation by
Messrs. Larrabee and Rand have been
exceedingly thorough and skillful.
The settlement is not, in any sense, a
compromise. The water company has
simply acceded to the rate prepared by
the water commission. 1t is believed to
be perfectly fair and just rate to the
citizens and to the company, giving the
former water at reasonable price and
returning to the stockholders of the lat
ter fair return on their investment.
The water commission is now composed
of the Hon, George F. Emery, DR.. II. s.
Burrage and Mr.. E. B. Winslow. Mr..
Emery has been member from it's crea-
ton, and has done great deal of valua-
BILE work in the preparation Of the case.
Dr. Burrage has been identified with the
case nearly from it's commencement, and
taken great interest in it. Mr.. Winslow
was not appointed until the beginning Of
Mayor Ingraham's administration, and
has not, of course, had opportunity to
give SO much attention to it, but he has
rendered valuable aid.
