Rogers Files Suit.

Notice was received today by Re-
gent 0. L. Moore that Senator Rogers
had filed quo warranto proceedings
in the supreme court to secure his
old place. He takes the position that
the report made to Governor Morrill,
by majority Of the Rogers investl-
cation committee was not in accord
ancc with the evidence taken by the
committee, and that there was no
evidence taken upon which to base a
legal recommendation for Rogers's
removal. 1t is said that by this pro-
cedure he hopes to get the supreme
court to review the evidence taken by
the investigating committee, Mr.
Rogers is probably wasting his effort.

MARRIED An INDIAN GIRL.
A Dickinson County Nan Il Trying
TO Explsin,

| @akeS@As
Friends and relatives Of Thomas W
Potter, In this county and Darlington
0. T., will be interested to learn thai
he Is in trouble at Cherokee, N. c.,
because he married Cherokee girl
there and under the state law 1t is a
crime for q white men to wed an
Indian woman.
Mr.. Potter is an old-time Kansan.
Seven years ago he went into the In
dian service, and up to within two
years was stationed at Darlington, 0.
7. He proved to be an excellent
man. and soon after the incoming Of
the present administration was sent
to Cherokee as Indian agent and
superintendent Of a high grade Indian
school. He is what Is known in the
bureau as a combination" man; that
is he makes Il good agent and can
take care Of school work. There are
few Of the kind in the service.
Soon after Mr.. Potter assumed his
new duties he met the Cherokee girl
who was to be his future wife. When
the white folks discovered that il was
a love match they informed Mr.. Pot
ter that 1t was a crime to marry an
Indian girl in that state and the pun
ishment, rs he could see by reading
the law, was a term in the peni-
tertiary Of from one to ten years.
But this had no terrors for MIR. Pot
ter. The love making went on, and
it is likely that the advice given him
FASTENED the marriage VOWS.
They were married at the home Of
the parents Of the bride, who are we'll
TODD people and respected. There
was no wedding trip Of week or
more, SO that it would not appearthat
they were trying to evadc the law.
Before long Mr., Potter was told by
some of the good people that he had
better get out Of the state and get out
very quick He did not 60. Then
the commissioner Of Indian affairs
was informed Of the great crime
against the state committed by his
agent from Kansas. 1t was suggest
ed to the commissioner that he had
better rescue Potter by taking him
out Of the state. AT this time n num-
Der of applications were received from
that locality for the situation held by
Potter. The commissioner gained
the impression that there was some
connection between the alleged
desire to enforce the law and n desire
to break into Potter's job. He at
once informed those who had written
to him about the matter that in the
event Potter was removed he would
not fiji the vacancy with anyone from
that state, this to make certain that
he did not intend to favor those who
had imposed upon Potter. llo also
added that he believed II TO be n very
bad law and hoped that nothing
would be done to make it unpleasant
for the agent
This settled it fora few days, but
now It seems that it is the intention
to prosecute Potter, and the commits
sioner intends to all he can to defend
him.

dom that David had heard, and u eI-
eluded all other yoieea.
But Rachef>=sh could never be ture
that she had fallen asleep and dreamed
it--thought that her husband came
and bent over her, that tear fell on
her forehead, and that he patted her
gray hair with loving toneh.
The next morning repeated the
anguish OF the preceding day and
night Suddenly Rachel asked:
Have You thought OF the children,
David, what Ii means 10 them?''
AYE, woman, and sore thought II
has been Whether or no TO tell them
Of their parents sin, beset me like Il
machination Of the evil one. But put
II away. God gave mo strength for
that. And this day will consider In
what way TO acquaint them with their
misfortune"
Another blow for the loving heart Of
Rachel Her boy, living with his little
family far distant, had his mothers
sensitive nature; the trouble might
kill him.
The girl, Drusilla, was like her
father; martyrdom would be crown.
In her stern remuneration she might
never see either of them again.
AS the day wore on there was much

patched up by one OF His commits
sioners--the minister could help them
ont Of their present difficulty. but for
the past not all the tears OF all the
angels could make that whole and
clean again.
These two who for forty years had
believed themselves man and vie

Once IN hundred years such case
happens, but that it shouli have come
TO those God-fearing, law abiding. in.
offensive people who were as simpl.
and innocent AS children, seemed I'm.
accountable. David took the matter
to heart as personal SIN.
Their minister was accustomed 10 all
sorts of sinners. but that any two PEG.
pie, as simple and guileless as these
two babes in the wool, had gone
through life as law breakers puzzled
him greatly.
He would have laughed, but the aw-
full earnestness OF this domestic TRACE.
dy struck him with tragic force. When
he saw Rachel in her bridal finery OF
forty years ago. the little old man in
the coat that had been laid away for
his burial, both trembling with an ex.
cess of emotion, he felt impelled to
save them from themselves.
eve are in heap of trouble, sir,
David began, simply, and without any
circumlocutton he told his story
which Rachel accentuated with her
tears. They had never missed the
certificate; it had not been given To
them by the minister who had married
them in the old home, back east, and
the lawyers letter first acquainted
them with the omission.
We can see now that 1t should
never have happened, hut we didn't
really sense it till the lawyer man
wrote again and told us we were not
married until we could prove it by
witnesses or certificate!" and David
wiped his flushed face with his we'd
ding handkerchief
: a small folded paper fell fran. it,
folds, which the minister picked ur
mechanically aud passed TO Rachel.

sTRIKERs SURRENDER.
A big Scramble for Places on the
brooklyn Roads.

brooklyn Roads.
Brooklyn, N. Y, Feb. A-Despite the
vote of the delegates of District Assembly
No. Is, knights of Labor, to continue the
strike, there was almost stampede of
strikers this morning to get back to work.
Some of the men who applied at the office
OF the Brooklyn city railway said the vote
OF the delegates was simply blV0 but
that a secret order was for the men to
get back to work as best they could AT
O'clock over 100 of the men who went
out on strike had applied for work at
the Ridgewood stables. Supt. Goodwin
gave them slips, showing the order of their
applications, and sent them TO President
Lewis office. The same course was pur-
sued al the other depots. President Lewis
did not have time to consider the appli-
cations to-day, but he put them on tle
The men who are taken back viii be
hired under individual contracts and put
to work beside the non-union men.
Later in the day 1t developed that the
return of many of the strikers to seek
work was the result Of a big split in the
ranks of district assembly No. 70. Al
the meeting last night, It is said, there
was great row. Some of the master
workmen of the local assemblies IN
sisted that the strike should be declared
Off, saying that their assemblies had SO
voted. Tho majority of the delegates
however, voted to continue the strike.
When the result was announced the
master workmen, who wanted the strike
ended, arose ana said they would not
abide by the vote.
This accounts for the rush for work,
despite the vote of the assembly.

pany Attorney General Hancock, in q

from a consideration of the facts pre-
sented by the petitioners that they are not
sufficient TO justify the bringing of an
action to annul the charter of the cor
poration."
In the matter of the application to com
nence actions to remove the president of
the Atlantic Avenue Railroad Company,
and the president of the Brooklyn Heights
Railroad Company for alleged violation
of the ten hour law, the attorney general
says: THE papers before me allege in
general terms a violation OF the law, bug
the allegations must be proved by legal
evidence, which, so far as the presidents
are concerned, has not been yet presented
to me, If it shall appear from the inves-
tigations now or hereafter to be made,
that Il can be established by competent
proof that the presidents Of the companies
have broken the law by exacting excess
sive hours of labor from their employees,
the cases will receive further considera-
