HUSBAND ON A STRIKE.
Wife Insisted on Detailed Reports
OF Durrant Case Being
Read,

San Francisco, CAL, Oct. 10.-Mrs.
Susie Rogers, wife of Phillip Rogers. has
disappeared. Herhusband has been search
ing for her for the past three weeks and
now believes that he has located his miss
ing wife in Wausau, Wis Mr. Rogers
is well-to-do citizen who has many
friends in Oakland. He is certain that
the Durrant case has something to do
with the wreck of his home. Mrs. Rog
ers was very much interested in the case
and could not let a day pass without
hearing the testimony. She compelled
her husband to sit down every morning
and read to her the full report of the
trial. Rogers waded through the testi-
mony just to please his wife. Sometimes
it would take him nearly half day to
complete his task. But with undaunted
heroism he struggled on, determined to
please his wife even at the expense of his
business.
At last endurance was no longer equal
to the task and Rogers deliberately
went on strike and declared that he
would not read the stenographic reports
any more. He was willing to compro-
mise on an amicable basis and read the
introduction to the trial each day, but
this did not satisfy Mrs. Rogers. She
wanted to hear the whole case or moth
ing. The husband was firm, however,
and would not yield. so there was dis
agreement and Mrs. Rogers went away.
Il am not going to search for her any
more said Mr.. Rogers. Il gave her
as good home as is enjoyed by any
woman in the city, and still she was not
satisfied. If she wants to remain in
Wausau, where | believe she is, she
can do so. 1t seems hard though to lose
a wife with whom you have lived for
eleven years.
Il pity any husband who is compelled
to read the entire Durrant case to his
wife. His life is certainly made miser-
able, because mine was when / found
that l had to read the trial as matter
of duty. / have given notice that l wilt
not be responsible for any debts contract
ed by my wife. If she desires to return
home she is at liberty to do so, and | will
support her in irst-class style. But /
will not consent to read that Durrant case
from beginning to end each day as COM
promise If she wants to come home and
spend her time in reading the Durrant
case she can do SO. / have no objections
to her reading the case, but do protest
against being made her slave in the mat
for. -

eyes ever possessed by man. Gen. Ma
hone marks an epoch in the history of the
United States since the late war. He
has been, during the last quarter of a
century, the central figure in Virginia
politics, and at one time his slight figure
was the nucleus of one of the most VIC
lent political storms that ever waged in
Congress.
He was in his sixty-ninth year. His
favorite soubriquet was Hero of the
Crater" won by his wonderful courage
in the attack on Petersburg, when the
Federal forces sprang a mine beneath
the Confederate defense. He fought
like tiger and later historians give to
him almost alone the credit of keeping
Petersburg from the Union hands and
repairing before sunset the shattered
Confederate lines. He had Joined the
Confederate army at once after the Sc
cession, participated in the capture of
the Norfolk navy yard in 1861 and raised
and commanded the Sixth regiment of
Virginia. He was commissioned brig
adier-general in March, 1864, and six
months later became a major-general
At the close of the war he returned
to his original work of engineering, and
became president Of the Norfolk & Ten
nessee railroad A spirit of leadership
led him into the political arena, and he
once assumed a foremost position in the
internal affairs of Virginia.

Cow Kicked the Lantern.

Twenty-four Years Ago Mrs. O'Leary's
Cow Kicked the Lantern.
Chicago, H., Oct. 9.-Twenty-four
years ago Chicago awoke, as it does to-
day. in the full tide of prosperity and
hfe. Twenty-four years ago tomorrow
night Chicago was a mass of flames and
cr?1nb,ing walls. This morning, through
out the breadth of the great Chicago Of
today. countless thousands will tell at
the breakfast table the tragic story of
that other Chicago. During the day the
survivors of the great fire will regale the
younger generation with tales of the con-
Migration and tonight, at the hour when
the flames first tinged the clouds with red,
there will be more pretentious celebra
tons. But the great fire of 1871 is not
the only event the people Of Chicago will
celebrate Two years ago today there
were gathered in the White City 100000
persons-more than had ever before in
this world congregated in a single en-
closure. So the memory of inspiring
scenes in Jackson park will lend color
to today's celebrations. While there will
be no general gathering, the First regi-
ment will have a military ball at it's ar
mory on Michigan avenue, the Marquette
club will enjoy it's Chicago day banquet
at the Auditorium hotel, and the Fellow
ship club will feast at Kinsley's, and
private assemblages will be many.

ARMIES IS DISCHARGED.
Judge Bradley of the District SUI
preme Court Scores Gen.
SCOfield.

Washington, D. c., Oct 1O.-Judge
Bradley of the district Supreme court
today ordered the discharge from Gus
tody of Capt. George A. Armes, who
was arrested on the order of Lieut.. Gen.
Schoheld, just prior to the latter's re-
tirement from command of the army,
for having written him an insulting let
ter. Judge Bradley scored the action OF
the late general Of the army, character
ling it as unlawful, tyrannical and ca
PRECIOUS.
In discharging Capt Armes, whose ar
rest and confinement Gen. SchOheld had
ordered by virtue of his position as act
ing secretary of war, Judge Bradley
said: 1.-THE arrest and taking away of
Armes into custody, carrying him away
from his home to barracks and holding
him in close arrest without any ante
cedent charge of crime preferred in any
way against him was, and is, unjust,
unlawful, arbitrary, tXrannlcal and ca
PRECIOUS on the part of Gen. SchOfeld in
whatever capacity he acted whether act
ing as acknowledgement or acting sec
rotary of war. The petitioner is dis
charged"
The Judge then went into the matter
at considerable length and said: mo
charge was preferred against Armes at
the time of his arrest, no crime has been
charged since and for the offense alleged
no arrest was necessary. The arrest
and confinement were unlawful and OPP
pressive. AS the offense charged would
on substantiation result only in repri-
mand suspension or dismissal, the pos
session of the body of the accused was
not necessary to carry out the charges,
as would have been the case if imprison-
ment or death was to be the sentence"
Speaking of the Presidents power in
army matters. the judge said: THE
President of the United States is COM
mander-in-chief of the officers of the army
on the retired list. This function of the
chief executive. however, is unaccompa-
MED by narrowing care or weighty re-
sponsibility. His title Of commander-in-
chief, so far as it relates to retired Off
GERS. is shorn of all power to impose
duties and appears to be an empty name.
The judge acknowledgements Office of
the war department has determined to
take an appeal from the decision of Judge
Bradley. This will carry the matter to
the court of appeals of the District of
Colum hia

prevailed on change today upon the pro-
mitigation of the official cotton crop re-
port from Washington. The room was
crowded with brokers when Secretary
Powers read the report from the call desk.
The most sanguine bears were surprised
when the official figures, 65.1, were read,
and the brokers could scarcely wait to
hear the remainder of the report, which
stated that the crop had been damaged
by drouth and boil worms, and shortened
by premature opening. The pit became

One Woman Dead and Three Fatally
Burned.
Cincinnati. O., Oct. "a sudden burst
ing out of flames after midnight IN ten
ement house caused the instant death of
one woman, the fatal burning of three
persons and the partial asphyxiation and
serious burning of three more. Mrs.
Mary Holmes, so years old, was the first
victim Little Raphael Davis, the 4-year-
old son of the janitress, was so badly
burned that his injuries were pronounced

THE PORTE WORRIED.
Doesn't Relish the Naval Display
in the Vicinity of the
DardanclleS.

Constantinople, Oct. 1O-Late today it
became known that the Turkish govern
ment had finally presented to the ENJOYS
of six powers a reply to their collective
note on the subject of the recent disturb
ances here. This reply, however, is not
satisfactory to the ambassadors. The
Porte in the answer enumerated the
measures taken to preserve order and de-
clared that the Mussulmen were not the
aggressors in the recent rioting, but that
on the contrary the Armenians killed in
offensive Mussulmen The Turkish gov
eminent added that so soon as the Ar
menians leave the churches in which they
have sought refuge, the normal aspect of
the city will be restored. 1t denies order
ing that no food be supplied to the refu-
gees in the churches, and urges the am
bassadors to assist in the work of restor-
ing order, claiming that the Armenian
agitators are intriguing to cause fresh
disturbances. The note concludes with
the assertion that the government is
about to open an inquiry into the recent
rioting with the view of discovering the
guilty parties.
In view of the unsatisfactory nature of
the Porte's reply, the six ambassadors
met today to consider what shall be done
further 1t is expected that the DragO-
mans of the different embassies will as
sist the Turkish officials in clearing the
vicinitieS of the Armenian churches OF
the rioters infesting them and installing
the refugees in their homes.
The Sultan continues to be greatly dis
uurbed by the presence OF the British
fleet off the island OF Lemnos and has
sent again to the ambassador of Great
Briton, Sir Philip Gurrie, to ask for tho
withdrawal of the British warships from
the vicinity of the entrance of the Oar
danelles. Sir Philip, it is understood,
persists in refusing to recommend the
withdrawal of the squadron.
Advices received here from Treblzond,
Armenia, confirm the report that a mas
sacre of Armenians has occurred there.
It is reported a general panic prevails in
that city. The number of killed is not
known. Nothing definite has yet been
heard from Siyas Van or Bitlis, where
disturbances between the Turks and Ar
menians are reported to have taken
place
A consignment of 5000 Mauser rifles
ordered by the Turkish government ar
rived here several days ago, but they
still remain on the lighters to which they
were transferred, as the bill of the manu-
facturers has not been paid and the
agents of the latter decline to give up
the rifles until the money is forthcoming.

lawyer, has been arrested on the charge

Sundays.
New York, October Hottie platform
adopted endorsed the administration of
President Cleveland and the candidates
for state Offices, condemned the inter
ference of the chamber of commerce
with the politics of the city on behalf of
the Republican party. The inconsistency
in the state and county Republican plat
form was referred to as an effort to catch
votes. The action of the state Democrats
in uniting with Republicans for the sake
of spoils'' was severely condemned. The
platform further said:
I'VE endorse the enforcement of the
law, but protest against and denounce
the discrimination that has been made be-
tween the rich and the poor in the severe
and oppressive exercise of power by the
police board of this city. The Democratic
party is, as it has ever been, strictly in
favor of respectful observance of Sun
day by abstaining on that day from all
unnecessary employment, and yet mind
full of the rights of every citizen to the en-
ioyment of worship, comfort and recrea-
ton according to his own conscience and
wishes, as far as compatible with due
regard to the beliefs and desires of 9th
ers."

GEN. MALONE is DEAD.
One Of the Conspicuous Figures of
Washington Life-His Great
Army Record.

Washington, D. c., Oct S.-Gen. Ma
hone died at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
The end came peacefully and almost
imperceptibly. The dying man had lain
unconscious ever since last Sunday morn
ing, taking 10 nourishment and showing
no sign Of life beyond faint respiration.
He was formerly quite wealthy, but it
is understood that he lost the larger part
of his money and probably left but ii
small estate.
The country will long remember Gen.
William Malone as one of the most pict-
uresque figures and characters in public
life during the last thirty years. Ex-
ceptionally slight in stature and frame,
he has been a marked man in great as
semblages. His peculiar style of dress
and especially his hat. attracted attention
to him. This broad-brimmed soft felt
headgear seemed out of proportion to
the tiny form beneath it. But beneath
this shade sparkled a pair of the keenest

CHOLERA BEING WIPED OUT.
Only Two New Cases Reported in Hon
o1ulu in Fourteen Days.

San Francisco, Cal. Oct 9.-The
steamer Australia arrived today bringing
advices from Honolulu dated October 2.
But two cases of cholera have developed
N the past fourteen days. The record to
date is eighty-seven cases. OF that num-
Der sixty-fve died. But two white people
have succumbed to the disease. OF the
total number of cases eighty-two were
Hawaiians The natives persistently re-
fused to report cases until the victims
were dead or dying. The natives acted
contrary to all rules made by the board of
health. They claim cholera is brought
to the country to exterminate them and
blame the white man for the visitation.
The board of health made a house-to-
house inspection twice each day until the
23d ult., when the whole town received a
thorough cleaning. But two new cases
have been reported since that date. 1t is
believed the trouble is now over.
There is much distress among the Fla
waiians. A relief station has been opened
to supply them with food. About 10000
rations are handed out weekly. There is
considerable doubt as to the real nature
of the disease. Many claim that it is not
cholera The cause of the trouble is at
tributed to poison fish.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY IN DEBT.
C0ngregationaIists Owe Banks Nearly
5000 900.

New York. Oct. 10.-The Congregation
al Home Missionary society is in unusual
straits financially. 1t is in debt to the
banks $179,GG0; its treasury is empty,
and inasmuch as only 100000 of the
indebtedness is secured by. collateral, the
loans. Tine salaries of the home mis-
sionaries were due October 1. Failure
to receive them means in many cases
borrowing of local banks at high rates
OF interest. The society is absolutely
dependent for the time being upon the
gifts of churches and individuals. The
present situation is due not only to the
hard times but to the chronic omission
of Congregational churches to take their
missionary collections in the summer and
early fall. The severity of the crisis
is great but temporary.
