With Cruelty.

With Cruelty.
Frederick Walter was made the defend
ant today in a suit for divorce filed by
Jennie E. Walter. Mrs. Walter prays for
alimony and counsel fees, and she also asks

Mrs. Walter states that she and the de-
PENDANT were married in Alexandria, Va,

shortly thereafter her husband commenced
ment, which became so unbearable that
remained away from him, she states, until
1888, when, because of his promises of
reformation she returned to him, and lived
with him until recently. Mrs. Walter al
leges several acts of cruelty and ill-treat-
ment, the last one being on the 10th Of this

MRS. WILLIAMS SUIT.

Wants a Restraining Order Against
COrpOI atiOn and It's Counsel.
A bill in equity was filed today by Annie
r. Williams against the Dix Island Granite
Company and VIM. +. Mattingly and Ma
thaniel Wilson to restrain the defendants
from issuing execution upon a judgment
obtained by them.
Mrs. Williams is the sister of John Fl.
Walter, who, in 1883, purchased from the
heirs of the late Hezekiah Claggett their
interest in original lot 20. square 81. He
subdivided it into lots 10 to 30, and Mrs.
Williams became possessed of sub lot A.
January Is, 1880. the Dix Island Granite
Company instituted a suit in ejectment
against her for possession of the lot claim
ing title under a tax title from the cor
poration of Washington to Mary b. Var
mum, dated March 22. 1872. The company
won the case and was given judgment for
possession of the land.
During the trial she alleges counsel for
the company stated to the jury that the
company did not claim the improvements
on the land and would allow and pay her
for them. Messrs. Mattingly and Wilson
were counsel for the company. Mrs. VIII
Jams states, and she charges that not
only has the company refused TO pay her
for the improvements, but has threatened
to issue execution for them without pay
ing her for them. Explaining that many of
the jurors were influenced in reaching a
verdict by the statement Of the company's
counsel. she prays that the company be
restrained from issuing such an execution
and that 1t be compelled to pay her for
the improvements.
A similar suit was also filed today against
the same parties by Mrs. Williams brother
John II. Walter, in respect to sub lot AZ.

Germany Takes Russian Grain.

Our consul at Bamborg, Louis Stern, has
submitted some statistics to the Depart
ment of State showing the remarkable
stimulation of trade between Germany and
Russia, consequent upon the negotiation of
the new commercial treaty. The imports
of Russian grain into Germany in particu-
lar have reached such proportions that the
consul believes it proper to call the atten-
ton of the American trade to the fact.
The expectation of this Russian grain
INTO Germany during the first ten months
OF the current year has increased 1852 per
cent. and of barley 2pSl per cent. as COM
pared with the previous year. On the other
hand, Germany's demand for Russian Pc
troleum is falling off, being 54.2 per cent
less than last year. This indicates that
American petroleum has gained almost full
control of the German market. Exports
from Germany to Russia are likewise
steadily increasing.

ThOusa nds Of Acres Involved,

Suit has been begun in the Iowa SUI
preme court, involving thousands Of acres
of land in Northwestern Iowa. In the early
fifties, John IRWIN located q large number Of
military warrants upon some Of the choic-
est lands In Northwest Iowa. During the
war Irwin became financially embarrassed,
and failing to pay taxes upon his Iowa
lands they were sold al tax sale. The tax
titles thus acquired were purchased by
parties, who improved the lands and have
for many years resided upon them. In Oc-
tober, 1873, Irwin died in Nebraska, and
now his heirs have brought suit to redeem
from the tax sales. claiming Irwin was in
sane at the time the lands were sold for
taxes and so continued up to the time of
his death. In Clay county alone, over sew
enty different farms are involved.
