GRANTED A DIVORCE.
Legal separation of Mrs. A. j. Bledsoe
From Her Husband.

Legal separation of Mrs. A. j. Bledsoe
From Her Husband.
EUREKA, Sept. After a trial lasting
thirteen days Clara J. Bledsoe was yes
terday granted divorce from A. j. Bled-
soc, Assemblyman from the Second Dis
trict, on the grounds of extreme cruelty
and adultery.
The defendant put in cross-complainr
alleging extreme cruelty, and made tie
defense that his wife had been notoriously
untruthful from childhood; that the
harges were all lies and the whole case a
conspiracy by political enemies to ruin
him, using his wife as tool
The case was given to the jury Wednes-
day evening, which returned a verdict
this morning.
Five questions were submitted. First,
was the defendant cruel TO the plaintiff {?
Second, was the plaintiff cruel to the de-
tendant? Third, did the defendant COM
nit adultery with one Mrs. Hornaday :?
Fourth. did the defendant accept 500
from one Jve Brown OF San Bernardino
County to influence his vote in favor of
the formation oI san Jacinto County or
for any other purpose in the Legislature
in February, 1891? Fifth, did the de-
fendant abuse the plaintiff for remon-
strating with him for taking the money !?
IDeSe questions were to be answered
yes or no, and the jury was instructed to
answer conclusively as to the charges of
adultery and bribery. The answers re-
turned were favorable to the plaintiff, ex-
cept the two relating to bribery.
In ruling against the defendants mo-
ton to set aside the verdict on the ground
that it had been conceded by the plaintiff
that all charges were as true as the brib-
cry charge, Judge Daingerfeld held that
bad the plaintiff been able to positively
identity Brown when brought before her
as the person who gave the money in
question the jury would have answered
in the affirmative. 1t is is said that eight
out of the nine jurors necessary were in
favor Of yes for the answer.
The case was tried before Judge W. r,
Daingerteld of Department II, Superior
Court OF San Francisco, and was bitterly
fought by the defense. 1t attracted more
than usual comment. By the decree the
plaintiff is awarded the community prom
erty and the custody of their minor child.
1t is said that Bledsoe. who is the inde-
pendent candidate for reelection TO the
Assembly, will make a breckenridge
campaign.

BERLIN, Sept. 7.-Emperor William
made sensational speech last evening at
state banquet at which the King of
Wurtemberg was the principal guest,
Inc Emperor had previously struck from
the list OF guests the names of Count Won
Mirback and Count Won Kanitz and Gem
erals hitzuing and Sandin. The two lat
ter were subsequently restored. Emperor
Williams act plainly marked his dis
pleasure at the attitude of the persons
named upon the agrarian question. This
Is confirmed by the fact that the Emperor
yesterday decorated Count Won Doenhoff
with the order of the Red Eagle. Count
Won Doenhotf was expelled last May from
the Conservative Union because he voted
Tor the Russo German commercial treaty
In the Reichstag. Emperor William app
proved the Counts action.
After the Emperor had toasted the
King of Wurtemberg, and the latter had
responded, his imperial majesty made 3
speech which caused the deepest i'm
preston. After referring to his efforts to
foster the welfare of the peasantry Of
East Prussia, he said his intentions were
misunderstood and to certain extent

emperor William then continued: "I

Let US preserve our minds in quietude

luton the hope for better times, accord
ing to our Old maxim, 'Noblesse obIige.'
A STIRRING ceremony passed before our
eyes on Tuesday. Before us stands the
statue OF William l., the imperial sword
upliited In his right hand, the symbol OF
law and order. 1t reminds US all Of the
arduous struggles which designs against

the time OF the commission of the acts
charged against them q state of war ex-
listed in San Salvador, and that the al

cidents of actual warfare. A pamphlet
containing the military laws of San Sal

o. r. & n. WAGE SCHEDULE.
Important Decision Rendered by Judge
Bellinger.


Bellinger.
PORTLAND, Sept. I'm the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company's wage
schedule case in the United States Court,
Judge Bellinger this morning rendered
an important decision on question in
point, the exact reverse of q decision
rendered by Judge Caldwell in the Union
Pacific wage schedule case, in the United
States Court at Omaha.
In the Union Pacific case Judge Cald-
we'll decided that the receivers had no
power to change the schedule and rules,
but should petition the court to make
the change. In his decision Judge Bell
niger said the court cannot be expected
to stand over the receiver and follow
him through the minute details of his
work. Under the rule proposed, which
was the one laid down by Judge Cald-
well, the receiver might want TO make a
hundred or a thousand changes in a
year, for each of which the court would
have to give an order. This would involve
question that, it seemed to him, was inn
practicable. The question in this case
was whether the receiver could make re-
ductions in the wages of employees with
out the consent of the court. The par
ties were all in court, and it made no
difference on the petition which side got
there, nor which side will introduce wit
0eSSeS nrSt.
This decision was followed by another
to the effect that the order of Judge Cald-
well III the Union Pacific wage case was
not binding on the separate receiver of
the Oregon Railway and Navigation.
This disposed OF all the technical points,
and the court announced that he would
hear the case on its merits. The date for
the hearing will be set tomorrow morn
ing.
In referring to the causes for the reduc-
tlon In the wages OF operatives, counsel
for the receiver stated that the report of
earnings and operating expenses for the
month of April last showed a deficiency
OF over 100000. He estimated that the
deficiency for the present year would
reach or exceed $I,000.0O0. and if there
was TO be continued deficiency in the
operating expenses the road had better
