FAILURE HERE
Mrs. MOuItOn Tells Her Troubles
to Judge Elliot

An important divorce case came up be-
fore Judge Elliott yesterday afternoon
involving number of prominent Min
neapolis people. Sarah M. Moulton has
sued Randolph ]. Moulton for a divorce
and alimony, alleging desertion, cruel
treatment and abuse. 1t was not ex-
pected that the husband would make
any defense, but when the case was
called he was represented by his at
torney, S. L. Baker.
Mrs. Moulton was put on the stand
first, and she detailed a long tale of
woes. She said that she was married
in 1883 to Moulton, and claimed that
shortly after her marriage she was
sent West by her husband where she
remained for two years. She went at
his asking, but found upon her return
that he had Intentionally sent her
away, according to his own statement,
as she said, Ito get rid of me-" Upon
her return she was unable to prevail
upon him to support her, although she
was i'll, and her doctors bills amounted
to several hundreds of dollars With
out means of support and so sick that
she was scarcely able to stand, accord
ing to her testimony, she took in wash
ing, sitting at the tub when at work,
and remaining in sitting position
while ironing clothes. For time she
was able to earn a bare subsistence in
this way, but for several months she
was sick in the hospital. She then took

WITHOUT AN ENGINEER.
Steamer MOdOc Has n Narrow Es-
cape From Destruction.

SAN. FRANCISCO, April 29.-The
steamer Modoc, plying between this
city and Sacramento, had narrow
escape from destruction on her last
trip. Several of the crew, including
flremen and oilers, have recently
been discharged for the sake of re-
itrenchment, the others doing double
duty. Second Engineer Ward was
left alone in the engine room, and
had to oil certain machinery. While
doing SO, it is believed he fell over
board and was drowned. Meantime
the engine room was deserted. When
the pilot approached the Sacrament
to drawbridge, which was closed, he
signaled to slow down. Repeated
ringing had no effect, so the pilot
tried to swing the steamer around.
The fireman, hearing the pilots sig
nails, thought something was wrong,
and fastened to the deserted engine
room, reversing the engines just in
time to save the steamer, and prob
ably the lives of its passengers. The
steamer had been going at top speed
for twenty minutes with no one in
the engine room.

NYE TELLS HIS TALE.
The City Comptroller Explains
That City Hospital Deal.

The Bracket investigating. COM
mittee held another meeting yesterday
afternoon and secured the testimony
of City Comptroller Nye. The report
will be submitted to the council this
evening.
Mr.. Nye stated that a warrant for
$25,000 was brought to him in favor
of Mr.. Bracket and he signed it, as the
money was there to pay it. Later
second warrant came in and he de-
INJURED at paying this, and when the
next morning Mr.. Bracket calleu for
the warrant countersigned he was told
that Mr.. Nye had not attached his sig
nature and thought the whole thing
looked a little peculiar. He took the
warrant up to the office of City At
torney Simpson, but that gentleman
was not in and he went to Mayor
Eustis. The latter told him that he
need have no hesitancy about paying
such a warrant, and on this evidence
he countersigned it, This was about
all that he had to tell, and he was the
last witness.
1t is known that the report of the
committee will not be a whitewash
and there seems to be little doubt but
what the old board of charities and
corrections will Ee censured. The
chairman of the committee, Aid. Miner
is quoted as saying that it is a bad
mess. Who else is to blame outside of
the members of the board is not clear
and the committee has no easy job
making up a satisfactory report. When
it comes to recommendations, it. is
doubtful If it goes in very deep, but
naturally the aldermen may be ex-
pected to favor getting out of the
trouble as easily as possible
The city has invested $4,000 in the
HOSPITAL property and to save it will have
to put up $4,000 more. This will make
the property cost s125, 900, instead of
100000, the price that was to have been
paid Mr.. Bracket, but it is clear that
the city has cause of action against
Mr.. Bracket for the extra $25, 900. It
would seem as If it would not take the
aldermen long to determine whether,
it is worth expending $4,000 to save
the $4,000 already expended
AS to the other schemes that have been
broached, there seems to be very little
talk in favor of the plan of using the
old court house property, and the al
dermen generally .disapprove of ac-.
cepting the proposition made by Mr..
Bracket to sell the city the option lot
and credit it with the loss on the origi1.
nal deal. The idea Of opposing this
is primarily the fact that the city has
considerable real estate on hand all
ready .

cRoMBET AsSASSlNATED.
Insnrgent Leader Not Killed In
BattIe-Spaniards Suffer Defeat


KEY WEST, Fla, April 29.-Private
advices from Cuba state that Gen. Flor
Crombet was not killed in the battle,
but assassinated. He was surrounded
by Spanish troops, and requested an
interview with the Spanish officer in
command. The conference ended, and
Crombet turned to go, when a soldier
in ambush shot him in the back of the
head. "A part of Crombet's band was
captured, and the remainder fed to
the mountains.
The killing of Crombet was reported
to Campos, who ordered the officer in
command of the Spanish troops before
him. The officer was reprimanded and
sent to Spain to be court-martialed.
A band of $50 Spanish troops were
defeated by the insurgents near Guant-
anamo on the 18th inst. One Span
ish soldier was left to report the de-
feat.
Gomez landed near Guantanamo. He
had LOCO men under his command. a
Spanish gunboat sighted a steamer
near the coast of Cuba with 200 men on
board. The gunboat chased her, but
she got away. The general belief is
that other expeditions have landed.

Thomas at the auditorium,

The enormous Exposition hall con-
tanned an audience of 5000 people last
night which gave the Thomas orches-
ira hearty greeting. Leader and
orchestra were in magnificent form,
and the programme moved without a
marring feature, the most captious be-
ing more than satisfied despite the
glowing accounts which have been
heard here of the great orchestra and
its great leader. 1t was musical fes-
tival in every sense of the word, and
an essentially musical audience. The
size of the audience guarantees that
it was a financial as well as musical
success.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 29-Champion
Corbett received the news today by
wire that the forfeit OF $1,000 has been
posted by the Florida Athletic club.
This, he said, should remove all doubt
that his fight with Fitzsimmons will
occur. Mr.. Corbett further states that
he agrees with everything Joseph Ven
dig has said in relation to the right of
the club under the articles of agree
ment to bring the fight off at any
place it possibly could, giving Jack
sonville the preference, as a matter of
course. After completing his engage
ment here the champion will return
to New York and will second Steve

Saving Space.

In cities, where space Is valuable,
stables are now built upward, as well
as buildings designed for human oc-
cupancy. In such establishments
horses are never stabbed on the ground
floor, which is reserved mainly for
vehicles, but in the basement or on a
second floor, which are reached by
runways. Such modern stables are pro-
vided with steam elevators, upon
which carriages may be taken to and

CALLED OUT MILITIA.
Miniature Labor Riot Mt Mar
quette.

MARQUETTE. Mich, April 90
There was a small riot tonight on the
ore docks, the union trimmers driving
off new men imported by the old
bosses. A number of men were badly
beaten, but it cannot be learned that
any one was seriously hurt. Sheriff
Broad had ten of the imported men
sworn in as special deputies, but they
ran at the first attack. The sheriff
then called out the local military COM
pany and they assembled at their
armory, but as the Pontiac, the only
vessel in. decided to clear without
trimming, the troops were not brought
out. Public sympathy is on the side
of the old trimmers and against the
bosses.

French Steamer LA GasCOgne Many
DAVIS Overdue Mt New York.

1t is now several days over week since the
French line steamer La Gascogne, which left
Havre on Jan. % for New York was due in
her slip at the foot Of Morton street, North
river. and no news Of any sort has yet been
heard of her. Steamers following her from
the other side. some of which left European
ports after she did, have reached New York,
and none can tell aught about her, nor has
she been otherwise heard OF from any source.
While there is yet strong possibility that,
with broken machinery she may lie houn-
derng outside in the stormy waves the time
has come to feel something more than casual
anxiety about her safety. The extraordinary
storms that have ragged upon the Atlantic
during the last week or two would, in case
of her continued safety, tend to delay her
coming longer than is at all usual in cases
where steamships break down at sea.
There is this disquieting feature in her
case, however. not common in cases of similar
nature, that she has neither been seen nor
heard of sln95 1he left her Havre pier. Ships
that have entered port reported nothing OF
her. and tele rams from Canso and Cape
Race announced that she had not been Seen
