WANTS A DIVORCE.
At Seventeen He Married a Woman of
Forty Yenrs.

At Seventeen He Married a Woman of
Forty Yenrs.
On the 18th Of October, 1856, George Cor
nell took unto himself wife. George was
then but seventeen years of age, and, in
petition filed by him today for divorce from
Mary M. Cornell. George informs the court
that Mrs. Cornell was then not only forty
years of age, but also widow, the mother
of five children, the eldest of whom was
two years older than himself. Mr.. Cornell
also states that his mother gave him the
same advice given by the elder Weller to
Samuel. but, unlike Sammy, he disregardel
his mothers warning and married without
her consent.
To make matters worse George alleges
that for the last four years Mrs. Cornell
has been a confirmed drunkard and NOR
phine fiend, her whole body becoming COW
cred with punctures. And, to make mat
ters still worse, George says that his wife
became real mean to him, treating him
with the greatest cruelty and abuse, habitu-
ally calling him improper names. refusing
to assist in any household duties and ne
slectirg to prepare his meals. On no less
than four different occasions, says Mr..
Cornell. his wife endangered his life by
upsetting burning lamps while endeavoring
TO inject morphine into herself. He tried
he declares, in every way to reform her.
but was finally compelled to leave her
May 1, 1891. in order to save his life. For
the reasons given by him. Mr.. Cornell
thinks he is entitled to a divorce.

HopeIessly Overtrained.
The general opinion Is that the Cornell
crew were hopelessly overtrained, and that
there was no climate or malaria about it.
Colson who acted as spokesman for the
Cornell crew, said I'VE had hard race,
and we were fairly and squarely beaten
Has the crew been overtrained?" Colson
was asked.
"Mr Francis orders are that there
should be no talk on that subject" was
the answer.
Upon reaching their dressing room, half
of the Cornell crew lay down on the rough
board floor, and painted like hounds after
a long run. In addition to the regular at
tendarts the members of the Cornell Giee
Club who were present acted as rubberS,
and assisted in washing down the crew
with cold water.
ing room enlivened the proceedings by CIV
ing the college Yell again and again at the
full strength Of their lungs. In the mean
time she large boat house had become
crowded with Americans, and they had
cheering effect upon the defeated crew.
In addition, a number of Englishmen be-
longing to Henley called at the Cornell
boat house and --ressed themselves as be-
ing sorry that Tie Americans were de-
feated.
The following are expressions which some
of the Cornell crew made after dressing:
F. W. Freeborn-"rhe Englishmen are the
best men"
George P. Dyer-"I think we have moth

Tom Halt am not sorry we came"

Firemen and Civil Service,

1t Is probable that the firemen employed
in the department buildings In Washington,
numbering about 200. will be placed under
civil service rules. Since the engineers
were put in the service, subject to compe;i-
tive examination, the firemen have been
anxious to have the benefit of the law ex-
tended to them. Taking the initiative in
the matter they recently submitted a petit
tion to the civil service commission, and
the change is also recommended by the en-
gineers.
1t is understood that the civil service
commission will forward to the President
a recommendation that the petition of the
firemen be granted. The men of this class
employed In the Treasury Department have
been under a system of voluntary exami-
nation for several years.

to the Public Printer.
The new fire-proof addition to the gov
ernment printing office will be turned over
to the public printer today or tomorrow by
the engineer IN charge of the work, and
will then be ready for occupancy. Mr..
Benedict has not decided what bureaus
will occupy the new quarters, and this
question will not be settled until his re-
turn to the city next week.
The excavation for the foundation of the
six-story addition on the site Of the old
stables is being pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible. The public printer is
exceedingly anxious to get into the new
quarters, for while they will not relieve al
together the overcrowded condition of the
building they will give a little room in
which to carry on the work of the Office
So crowded are the rooms at present that
the office cannot receive the full amount
OF paper necessary to do the work Of the
government, but is compelled to have it
shipped in small lots.

Death of Brooks u. Savage.

Our community was surprised and
shocked, Sunday morning, 10y the re
port of the death of Brooks d. Savage by
suicide, which report proved to be true.
He was found in his stable by his son
Mark, about half past eight, dead from
the effect Of a rifle shot fired by his own
hand.
1t appears he got up about half past
six o clock in the morning, went about
the premises and to the stable where lie
evidently arranged the rifle so that by
the aid of string he discharged its
contents into his left breast with awful
certainty.
Mr.. Savage was 81 years old the day
of his death. He had for some months
shown Indications of mental unbalance,
but of late had appeared better

language Of their own An English
fisherman, Mr. Basil Field, has been
making some Investigations that lead
him 10 suppose that fishes have some
way Of communicating a notion Of their
experiences to other fishes
r Mr.. Field carried on his experiments
in the fishponds Of Mr.. ANDREW, at
Guilford, England. Those ponds are full
Of trout. which, at the time when Mr..
Field first visited them. were so little
accustomed to being troubled that when
he threw baited hook into the water
all the trout in sight--a great number
rushed eagerly upon it, He caught
one, and removing it from the hook
threw il back into the pond.
Then he put in freshly baited hook,
and only two or three trout came after
it. One of these he caught and threw
back into the water. Again he resumed
his fishing with newly baited hook,
and this time, although the pond was
swarming with fish, it was only after a
long time that he lured another trout to
his bait. And after a little further
time it was entirely impossible to catch
a trout in this pond.
However, by experimenting in anoth-
eY pond equally we'll stocked and not
throwing back any fish Mr.. Field found
that he could catch trout as long as he
chose. The fish did not seem 10 under
stand that the removal Of one of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait.
If, Mr.. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish. released, goes back
and 1ningles with his fellows that the
danger is learned, and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the re-
leased fish has some means of making
the others understand the perils Of the

An observer Of animal life has col
lected (our Vienna correspondent says)
a number Of notes upon the behavior Of
animals during the earthquake at I.ai-
bach. A railway guard observed that
some minutes before the first shock was
felt his owl, chained to a Toulouse,
cried as If for help. and be was with it
when the earthquake began. Some for.
est guards observed hares running, as il
for their lives, up a hill before the first
shock Partridges flew long distance.
A gentleman who spent the night of
Easter Sunday in a carriage saw the
pigeons and hawks on tower flying
round it every time that a shock was
near. Sparrows and redbreaSts also flut-
tered about and seemed to overcome
their fear of men. The most excited of
ali We're the horses. They trembled long
before a shock occurred, and some fell
on their knees and sides. The dogs
howled the whole night When a shock
was near. their cries were SO strange that
they struck the ear as something not
heard before. London News.
