Gluttons of the Eighteenth Century.

Plenty was the watchword of the eight

Groaned under an array of food warranted
to take away the appetite Of all save the
Gargantuas of the day. One blessing was
evolved from the old sops and the later
bisques and olios-soup, which now was
ever the prelude to the dinner. 1t was re.
moved for meat or flsh-a chine of NUT

support them, offered pullets with eggs

or relay. Next came the roasts. Two
pheasants and four cartridges and six teal,
and now, for side Dishes sweetbreads and
marrow, four woodcock and ten snipe,
salmon and smelts, marrow pudding, fore
quarter of lamb, oyster loaves. For center
dish, mince pies. And men ate and sur
vived, and still had heart within them to
wait the removal of the cloth, and, greet

THE barn of Landlord T. D. Goodell
was burned to the ground Friday after
noon with most of its contents. The fire
was discovered on the floor above the
basement and was soon under good head
way. The fire department responded
promptly to the alarm and had four
streams on within five minutes from the
time the alarm was given, but all of the
building above the basement was
destroyed in spite of all that could be
done. Besides the barn a large quantity
of hay was burned, also two horses, eight
harnesses, a new two seated wagon, a lot
of grain and various other things such as
are usually stored in barn. The loss is
$4,000 or more. The barn was insured,
but there was no insurance on the con
tents. TheIOrigin of the fire is not known,
but there are suspicious that it may have
been incendiary The North Adams
Transcript, says: "At the election Sept.
4th Mr.. Goodell was elected town repre-
sentative to the legislature, and it is said
the campaign gave rise to considerable
personal feeling in some quarters. If it
is true that the political feeling led to
such dastardly act as this, it is sorry

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
GRAND MASTER WORKMAN SOY
EREIGN SHOWS HIS HAND.
The Organization Means to Stand by
Kelly in His Effort to Secure
Transportation from the Rail-
roads to Go East.

DEs MONIES, Ia, May 1.-Grand Mas
Moines today with the avowed intention
of throwing the influence OF the Knights
of Labor in an effort to secure train for
Kelly's army. In an interview with an
Associated Press reporter Mr.. Sovereign
said that his action was determined
upon meeting of his co-executive board,
held in Chicago yesterday, and asserted
that this organization would see to it
that the Industrials secured train,
even though every railway in Iowa
should be tied up.
II came to Des Moines with the pur-
pose of showing my hand in this mat
ter" he said. "Kelly shall not walk
out of the city. l shall attempt to Sc
cure transportation without trouble, but
if train can't be secured for money
we have more drastic measures at
hand"
"What will you do ii you are refused a
train?"
81 can only repeat" said he, "that
Kelly shall not walk out. The army
shall ride though every road in Iowa be
tied up. do not say that the Knights
of Labor could take such action of it.
self. With the aid of the American
Railway union, should move be made,
it will be successful. When left Presi-
dent Debs in st. Paul his last words were
that anything we ordered his people
would stand by, and made a similar
proposition.
"This thing is simply an issue be-
tween united railroads and organized
labor, and if we can't win here we might
as we'll stop fighting. The issue is q
square one, and we will meet it. We
are in sympathy with the Coxey and
Kelly movement as it attracts public
attention and invites discussion of the
interests we represent. | am relia bly,
informed that the majority of Kelly's
men are members of labor unions, and
we will neither let them starve nor walk
out OF Des Moines."
The grand master workman says he
expected to call labor meeting to con-
slider the matter tomorrow, and the
action of the assembly is looked forward
to with anxiety. Meetings were held in
the Grand opera house this alter
noon and tonight. which Kelly, General
Weaver, Colonel Speed and others ad-
dressed. The audience paid admission.
Admissions increased the Rrmy's bank
account by about $500.
Sovereign addressed the army at the
camp this evening and aroused much
enthusiasm among the men by his ex-
pressions of sympathy.
A committee consisting of Sovereign,
Weaver, ex.State Master Workman Van

Barnet of the American Railway union

pointed to see that transportation for

Embezzler Flood of the Donohue Bank
Has Another Chance.
SAN FRANCISCO, May III. W. Flood,
convicted OF em bezzling money from the
Donohue- Kelly Banking company, has
been granted new trial by the supreme
court.
Flood was cashier of the bank, and
was charged with embezzling something
like $4,000. He was tried in the su-
perior court and convicted by q jury,
and before he was sentenced he asked
for new trial. This was last June.
Judge Seswell granted a new trial upon
the ground that the verdict was contrary
to the evidence introduced.
District Attorney Barnes appealed
from the order granting the new trial.
The supreme court has decided that
Judge Seawell was competent to grant q

George Fitch Petitions for Their Sale by

SAN FRANCISCO, May IAN action
was begun in the superior court today
that will probably result in radical
changes in the management of two OF
San Francisco's leading daily news
papers. George K. Fitch, the surviving
partner of the late Loring. Pickering and
the late James w. Simonton, in the
ownership Of the Daily Morning Call

q receiver for the Call and Bulletin prop
ertiee. He asks that the receivers 30
appointed be ordered to sell the Call
property and 10 days subsequently sell
the Bulletin, at public auction or at
private sale, to the highest bidder for
cash. Mr.. Fitch asks for final ac-
counting between all the parties in in
terest.
1t is said that the strained relations
between Mr.. Fitch and r. A. Carothers,
who represents the Pickering interests,
is the cause of Mr.. Fitch's application

Scott's Daughter in Law
Wants 100000
Because He Separated Her From

And Extorted a Tale Of Dishonor
From Her.
A Wealthy Philadelphia Shippers Con-
sptracy with His Son to Rid him
of q Woman Married
in Haste.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELpHIA, May John Scott,
the millionaire coal shipper OF this city
and Boston, was today sued for 100000
damages. The plaintiff is his daughter.
in-law. The divorce granted in Dead
wood, s. d., has been set aside by the
court there and the case will have TO be
tried over.
The first that Mr.. Scott knew OF the
marriage of his son, Mfflin Scott, to
Erwig Elvira Morchen, was his meeting
the couple at Southampton, England, on
their bridal trip, while he, with his wife
and daughter. was about starting for a
tour on the continent.
Mr.. Scott sent the bridegroom back to
his studies at Heidelberg, which he did
not know that he had left until he saw
him as benedict on the deck of the
steamship. The bride he took with his
wife and daughter on his trip, where,
for time all seemed to have gone we'll,
except that young Mrs. Scott implanted
that her father-in.law was ve.y curious
about her past life.
This state OF things, however. was in
terrupted by letter addressed to the
son, which in the sons absence the
father opened. This letter was from
midwife in Berlin, who claimed that
young Scott owed her bill for services
rendered his wife. In the letter was
full account of an operation on her sis
ter, and Hedwig's name was used in as
sociation with young German named
Fritz Theissen, whom Hedwig had met
at Coblentz in November OF 1890. some
five months before her marriage.
On reading the letter, Mr.. Scott went
himself to Glasgow with this sons wife
and placed her in the home of her sis
ter. the wife OF Presbyterian minister.
He did net leave Scotland until he had
received word from his daughter-in-law
that Theissen had betrayed her while he
was at Coblentz. Mr.. Scott admits
having secured this confession, and saya
that it was made by the girl OF her own
free will. The family then left Hedwig
with her sister and returned to this
country, and young Scott went to Dead
wood to study law.
After the proper time OF residence he
filed petition for divorce. alleging that
be had been deceitfully led to marry the
girl, being himself the father OF child
to which she gave birth in July, '91. On
this the divorce now set aside was
granted.
In her complaint the wife charges that
the divorce was fraudulently obtained
without her knowledge in pursuance of
q conspiracy between the father and the
young man, insists that the child was
his, and declares that the con feasion was
extorted from her by Mr.. Scott under
threats of withdrawal of all support
from herself and husband, and never
allowing her to see Miff1in again. The
trial for the damage suit promises to be
of itnerest.
