A GOOD CAUSE FOR DIVORCE the
divorce case brought by Sarah E. Gould
against her husband, Charles D. Gould,
in the Supreme Court at Auburn, Me-,
on Saturday, it was brought out in the
testimony that Mr.. Gould had acted
most outrageously. The couple were
married in 1862, and have several
grown-up children. During the last
ten years the old gentleman, to annoy
his wife, has sworn at her, poked fun
when she was teaching her little ones
to pray, shoveled dirt on newly-washed
floors, turned the flour barrel upside
down and broke dishes. All this she
stood with sublime resignation, but
when he brought in dead skunk and
put it in her clothespress, she made up
her mind to get rid of him. The odor
of the skunk ruined all of her clothes,
and while the family were gagging with
sickness from the smell the old man
laughed like iend. The couple live
in Leeds, and several neighbors besides
the children testified to the skunk in
the clothespress.

A GOLDEN EAGLE.-John w. Daniel,
jr., an enthusiastic and well inform
ed young naturalist, while walking
through the woods on collection tour
on Friday morning, chanced upon q
most remarkable bird, His trained eye
soon proved it to be a golden eagle,
which is found usually only in New
York, Maine and California. Procur-
ing his gun, he succeeded in woundipg
the bird and capturing him. When
measured he was found to be 10 feet
from tip to tip, and his claws were as
large as mans hand. He has been
sent north to an expert taxidermist:
and when mounted will adorn the pri-
vate museum of Mr.. Daniel. 1t is sup.
posed to be the only bird of its kind
ever killed in Virginia.

A HERO IN PovERTY.-The man who
saved more lives, perhaps, than any
other individual in Pennsylvania, earns
a scanty living by washing windows
and polishing door knobs in South
Bethlehem. He is William Deemer,
hero of the Mexican war, aud once
saved the lives ofthousands OF American
soldiers.
He went out to service with Com
pany H, First regiment of Volunteers,
recruited in Philadelphia. Colonel
Andrews commanded, and Deemer's
captain was d. r. Minard. The regi-
ment participated in the storming Of
Chapultepec and it was about
that tine that Deemer distin-
guished himself. Over 10000 Ameri.
cans were quartered in and about n
large building Walking through the
woods one day Deemer discovered
heavy fuse, charged with powder. He
cut section yard long out of it to
prevent its carrying fire, aud then
quietly followed up the line. Present
ly he discovered up in high tree the
red Of a Mexican uniform. The foreign
soldier saw Deemer at thu same time,
but the latter drew bead quickly and
fired. The Mexican came tumbline
down from the tree a corpse. The
farther end of the fuse was at the bot
tom of the tree upon which the Mexi-
can sat- Then Deemer followed the
fuse back toward the American camp.

the Civil war, and for years has earned
livelihood by going about washing
windows for storekeepers and polishing

judges was based upon the quality of the

and not because We offered to make them
cheaper than any one else. There were
other bidders, who made offers at smaller

NOT CONCERNED.
The metropolitan Company Careless
Yet Satisfied as to the Refs Suit.


President Phillips Of the Metropolitan
Street Railroad Company is not at ell dis
turbcd by the suit which has been filed
against the company by an inventor. who
claims that some of his patents have been
infringed upon by the company in it's con-
struction of the 9th street road. Even sup
posing that the claim made in behalf of Mr..
Refs is well found ed, the Metropolitan com
pany says it is only remotely and not ma
terially concerned
Speaking of the matter to Star reporter
today President Phillips said:
This suit of Mr.. REFS has been anticipated
by the company for several months. His
claims have been Investigated in the most
careful manner by the cEief counsel OF the
General Electric Company and pronounced
to be entirely Gntenab!e III every respect. ]
have also very carefully examined them all
myself and unhesitatinely say that neither
the stockholders, bondholders or the public
need give themselves one moments concern
in regard to this suit. The construction of
the Metropolitan railroad does not infringe
any patent or any claim that Mr.. Refs owns.
Under the contract which the metropolitan
Railroad Company has with the General
Electric Company this suit will be defended
by the latter and all damages will be paid by
them, IL Mr.. Refs succeeds in showing to
the court that he is entitled to anything
