WANTS AN ABSOLUTE DIVORCE.
Gen. Henson Appeals to the Court to
Break His Marital Bonds.

Washington Oct. ia special from
Chattanooga, Tenn, says: Probably the
last, and certainly the biggest of the sew
eral sensations connected with the marital
life and woes of Gen. N. Henson, presi-
dent of the Chattanooga Savings Bank and
Trust Company, came to-day, when he
filed bill in chancery for an absolute
divorce from his wife. 1t has been only a
few weeks since Henson was on trial for
his life for killing w. b. Vert, a prominent
member of the Centenary church, whom
he believed to have been the seducer of
his wife. This shooting occurred last Feb
ruary, and Henson was acquitted. He
had previously filed a bill for divorce,
but later agreed TO withdraw it upon con-
ditton that Mrs. Henson leave the city and
go to the home of her mother. In this bill
Henson says that he made this agreement
hoping that his wife might go home and
lead a better life, but notwithstanding
her promises to go, she has remained in
Chattanooga and continued her adulterous
practices until she is now little more than
lewd woman. He charges that she even
carried her little girl to house of i'll
fame. As a browning cause for a divorce,
he alleges that on Thursday night she met
Attorney James Scott back of the petition
er's residence and was caught flagrante
deictu by the petitioner. He asks an alb
solute divorce and the custody of their
children"

A HoLD-UP IN TEXAS.
The Robbers Reported to Have Secured
$4,000 by Their Raid.

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. 19.-This after
noon at O'Clock, a dispatch was received
from Secretary Mills of the Texas Pacific
Coal Company at Thurber Junction, on
the Texas Pacific, west of this city %
miles, stating that a train had been
robbed near Gordon, but the coal compa-
ny's money was safe, as the robbers could
not open the safe. The money was for
the monthly payment of the roll of en-
ployes of the coal company at Thurber
and had been placed in the express car in
burglar proof safe, the combination of
which the messenger did not know, hence
the robbers were unable to gain access to
it, Inquiry by telephone at the express
Dmpany's office failed to elicit anything
concerning the robbery, Agent Gill being
out, and the employees in the office claim
ing to be entirely ignorant of the robbery
From railway employees it is learned
that about $1,000 in local packages was Sc
cured from the Pacific Express Company,
and 1t is reported that larger sum, esti-
mated as high as $4,000, was taken from
the through safe, though this report is not
confirmed.
THE robbers, five in number, held
up the passengers in the coaches and Sc
cured a large number of watches, money
and other booty. No one was injured, so
far as learned, though it is reported that
the robbers took a couple of shots at the
porter.
Later reports state that the robbers
blew open the coal Company's safe, but
were unable to get to the SIG, 900 contained
therein, as they failed to open the inside
combination"

QUAY's LECTURE ON SUGAR.
Too Tired to Read 1t All, So Gallingcr
Helped Him Out

The open session of the Senate yesterday lasted
only until O'Clock. The time was consumed en-
tirely by Mr.. Quay, who gave another chapter of
his serial speech on the tariff. Mr.. Galinger re-
manned by his side constantly relieving the
Pennsylvania at frequent intervals by reading
such extracts as Mr. Quay desired to insert in
his remarks
Mr.. Quay read from manuscript, in low
voice, an account of the sugar refining processes
in various countries, going into the most minute
details. Those Senators who remained in the
chamber busted themselves with their corre-
spondence. From time TO time, as on Thursday,
MIR. Gallinger, of New Hampshire, relieved him
by reading long extracts from volumes bearing
on the methods of sugar refining.
The balance of the day after O'Clock was
spent behird closed doors considering executive
business. The nomination of George W Wilson,
TO be collector of internal revenue for Florida,
consumed most of the time, but the matter was
not settled and will be brought up to-day.
