EMBARRASSING AFFAIR.
Mr.. JOHNSON PROCURES EVIDENCE
FOR HIS DIVORCE SUIT.
He and His Friends Say They Discov-
cred His wife ut the Jackson
Hotel In Company with an
Admitting Friend.

Herman NJ. johnson, formerly OF Red
lands, but OF recent months of this city
had what was to him the satisfaction
asst night OF obtaining what appeared
to be indisputable proof of his wi!e'c
forgetting the vows of the wedding GER
emony.
Last June Mr.. johnson brought suit
for divorce, alleging that Mrs. John
son had yielded to the smorous intlu-
ences OF a Mr.. James Corbett OF San
Francisco, (not the pugilist) but evl-
IDENTIFY thought that he needed more
evidence. Accordingly he employed @.
M. Baldwin, manager of the Southern
California detective agency to assist him.
Mrs. johnson, it was suspected, bad be-
come enamored of Mr.. j. +. Milligan,
who is said to live at the
Dalles in Oregon, where he is
alleged to have family.
Last night Detective Baldwin thought
was proper time to bring about the
denouement of the domestic drama IN
which he was acting with great activity
as stage manager, and he, with Mr..
Johnson and number of witnesses, sta
toned themselves in an adjoining room
in the jackson hotel to that occupied by
Mrs. johnson and Mulligan.
At the right moment Mr.. Baldwin
rang up the curtain, or rather opened
the intervening door, and the party
marched into the room where the
couple were calmly reposiug in the
negliges attire usually assumed for
slumber.
The detective who informed the
HERALD OF the affair states that the two
sought to hide by covering up their
faces, but the husband marched up to
them, pulled the covering from their
countenances and introduced the per-
sons present to the woman by announe-
ing her as my legal wife"
johnson, from precautionary motives,
had revolver in his hand, but made no
attempt to use it, his idea not being to
revenge his wrongs by Staying the
betrayer of his domestic honor, but to
procure evidence for the divorce suit.
This being done to his satisfaction he
came quietly away and went to the
newspaper offices TO give publicity to
his discovery and his success.
1t is expected that the divorce will
now be granted, but why should Mre.
Johnson have opposed the suit?

OMAHA, Feb. 16.-Solicitor Thurston Of

Caldwell expressly refused to interfere
with Judge Dundy's order as to the re-
ceivers' schedule OF wages. recognizing
Dundy's as the court OF general jurisdic-
ton. Caldwell merely suggested that
the receivers should ask Dundy to vRcate
the order already made, then both the
judges-Caldwell and Sanborn-would
sit at Omaha March Goth and hear the
entire question of wages for the Union
Pacific system. II such request was not
made ne would not interfere, and only

order. Thurston declared it remains
with the receivers and Dundy whether
the new schedule of wages shall 60 into
effect March let, or whether the circuit
judges shall then take up the question

OF that functionsry are in the habit Of
inveighing against Senators Hill and
Murphy because those officials have
opposed both of these nominations, and
they are accused OF allowing their per-
sonal feelings to influence their vote and
action in the premises. These critics
overlook the fact that Mr.. Cleveland
was at great pains to select his nominees
for that position in order to run his
stiletto into the Messrs. Hill
and Murphy, and to emphasize
his hostility to the regular Democratic
organization of the Empire state. Cali

Peckham, because it is we'll underst ood
that both OF these gentlemen were in
favor of reversing the decision of the
supreme court of the United States on
the Chinese exclusion act. In addition,
both of them are understood to be cor
poration attorneys. There must have
been some strong motive that influenced

THE ROSCOE TRAIN ROBBERY.

The men who ditched and robbed the
morning, evidently went on the principle
that as lightning never strikes twice in
the same place, that would be the very
safest place on the road to repeat the
affair of a few weeks ago. If the parties
who perpetrated the first robbery are
the same as those who did yesterday
mornings business. they greatly inn
proved this last time on their dlabolical
methods. Instead OF bringing the train
to stand on the track, they opened the
switch and let it run into the ditch, not
withdrawing that by so doing they
might have compassed the killing of all
on board. AS it WAS, only the engine
and tender were wrecked, and only two
lives were sacrificed.
This thing OF holding up trains by
Quent occurrence, and is so perilous to
life, that the state as well as the compa-
MES will have to resort to drastic meaE-
ures in order to put an end to it. Until
the express companies adopted the plan
of placing fearless guard on the stages
running from the mining districts, the
number of hold-ups and successful rob-
berries of the treasure carried were very
frequent. After that this kind of crime
was greatly diminished. The highway
men found that the only way to accom-
plish their design was to deliberately
shoot the guard from ambush. and as
this undoubtedly increased the risk OF
the robbers, and made their job far more
hazardous than before, there was at
once a very noticeable diminution in
the number of these affairs.
The express company and the railroad
corporation ought to provide a safe
guard to their trains something like that
which has been found to work we'll on
stages. An armed guard of two or more
determined men should be placed in the
front part OF every passenger and tress-
ure train. Had there been two well
armed men OF nerve on the train that
was held up at Roscoe. they could have
made it very hos for the robbers. Men
who made it their business to fight train
robbers would be prepared for them,
and would use ali the finesse of expert
ence to not only defeat them in their
designs, but to give them such a recep.
tion that they would reflect deeply be-
fore they made another attempt. In
the end the companies would find it
cheaper to send out a guard on each
train than to incur the losses they now
sustain by the successful robberies they
are periodically subjected to.
The deplorable thing about this rob-
berry is the lose of the life of faithful
servant of the road. Indeed, murder
is a usual accompaniment of this kind
of crime; but in this case the wretches
had planned for a Wholesale murder,
which would have happened if the en-.
tire train had been ditched. This aggra-
vation of the deed should spur the
police authorities and the express COM
pany and the railroad directors to o
relentless pursuit of the robbers.
Neither money nor the right kind of
men should be lacking in order to run
these bandits down and bring them to
condign punishment.
