But car tracks are thus cleared at the

Sleighs tilt along dangerously toward
the tracks, and all near street ap-

pitched battle in consequence rose
one day between tradesmen and car
company; ragged far and long, assisted
by small boys. Snow fercely shoveled

Marriage IN England.

Some curious marriage statistics OF
England and Wales have recently been
made public. Taking all persons
above Is years Of age, there are s,7l6,-
1868 unmarried males, 4,s5l,54s mar
ried males, and $4,000 widowers,
against s,9Os,6 ,665 unmarried females,
4,9l6.649 married females, and 1,l24,Sl)
widows. English scientists have these
rather puzzling questions to answer;
Why does the number OF widows so
greatly exceed that of the widowers?
And again, how can there be 4,el6,64]
married females and only 4,s5l,54d
married males, unless some 100000 or
so persons have been guilty of bigamy'

possible.
1t was fitted in place, and she
stepped upon it bravely, though
her cheeks were deathly pale.

A Trapped Bear Whips a Mountain Lion
and Coyote.
A Montana ranchman, having lost a
fine brood of ducks, set a bear trap
baited with fresh beef, and that night
heard a howl, which he recognized as
that of a coyote. Knowing that the
animal could not escape he turned over
to sleep again, when he heard such a
chorus of howls that he went out to in
vestigate. He found a coyote and q
cinnamon bear caught in the trap

a strike for the beef at the same time,

had killed the other before finishing

MRS. CORDEs's DISAPPEARANCE.
Her Husband Fears that She Has Been
FOully Murdered.

Herman Cordes, living in Perry town.
ship on the S~helby-street road, about four
miles south of the city, called at the po-
lice station, yesterday afternoon, and said
that his wife had not been seen since last
Thursday evening. He suspected that she
had been a victim of foul play. 1t was
customary for him to drive his children to
the city to school every morning, and last
Thursday morning his wife accompanied
him. When the children were left at the
school Mrs. Cordes said she would meet
them after schooltime in the evening at
Moore's shoe store, on Virginia avenue, as
she intended to buy them some shoes. The
husband returned home while the wife
went to visit a Mrs. Treeter, who lives
in the southeastern part of the city. She
had been in the habit of making these Wis
its, so the husband thought nothing more
about it until In the evening, when he
went to the shoe store to get his children
and wife to take them home.
On arriving at the store he found his
children there, but no sign of his wife.
This was about 4 o o'clock, so he waited until
after 5 O'Clock, thinking that possibly she
had been detained. As she did not appear
at that hour he hesitatingly supposed that
parties, and he drove home with his chill
dren. On arriving at his house he was
ceaiiingg in Suf q : neighb sS h he lett eha the nef children iIadGFsi
49,
in her charge and went in search of his
wife. He found that she had been at the
shoe store shortly after he had driven
away, and some one told him that she had
said she intended to get home as soon as
possible. The husband did not lose time
in hurrying TO the home of Mrs. Treeter,
but his wife was not there. He was al
most frantic, and rushed back TO his home,
stopping at several places where he knew
his wife sometimes visited He returned
to his home to comfort his children.
Friday came, and still his wife was miss
ing. Saturday. Sunday and Monday fol-
lowed with no respite, and during all this
time his children were crying for their
mother. Her long absence has brought him
this one Surmise, that she has met with
foul play. His conjecture is that on Thurs
day evening, after missing her family, she
she had started to walk out to the home,
and on the way, to state the worst of his
fears, that she had probably been muir
dered and her body disposed of. This was
seemingly his only thought, yet he admit
ted that it was possible that she was re-
naming at the home of some friend,
though he could think of no reason why
she should do so. He said that the domes-
tic affairs had always been marked with
good feeling. Mr.. Cordes and his wife are
of German descent, and have been living
in their present home for some time. He
thought his wife wore, when last seen by
him, a cloak and a gray dress.

TO DEFY THE LAW.
Saloon Keepers Hold a Meeting-Cases
i'm Police Court.

In the Police Court yesterday morning
JOIN Fleming, one of the proprietors of the
Tuxedo saloon, was arraigned for assault
and battery and interfering with an Off
GER. 1t was Fleming who assaulted officer
Curran on Saturday night because the Of
ficer, in obedience to Instructions, visited
the saloon at II o'clock to compel COM
pliance with the law. Fleming's case was
continued till Wednesday.
Michael Lucid, proprietor Of a dive or
South West street, was also arraigned for
selling liquor on Sunday. His case was con-
tinued till Saturday. George Parker, an
other saloon keeper. was fined SO and costs
for selling liquor on Sunday and paid the
fine.
The saloon laws were more generally dis
regarded last Sunday than any other day
since the present administration came into
power. This, in connection with the fact
of a recent secret meeting of the Liquor
League, has led the authorities to believe
concerted action in defying the law. The
authorities affirm that If such is attempt
ed all will be arrested. The law will be
strictly enforced.
