Death of Ex-Gov. oliver Ames.

Ex-Governor Oliver Ames died at his
home in North Easton, Mass, early Tues
day morning He was GA years old and
had become widely known through his
long career in business and political life.
He was born in North Easton. He served
five years apprenticeship in the shovel
works, which his father, Cakes Ames, had
made famous. AT the age of 20 he entered
Brown university, where he took a two
years special course. On the death of his
father in 1873 he succeeded to the man
agement of the large business interests of
the Cakes Ames estate. 1t was here that
Oliver Ames won his reputation as finan-
cier. The estate involved great and diversi-
fled interests and was burdened with obi
cations amounting to $4,000, 900. He paid
this Indebtedness and 81 900, 900 of legacies
and had a large surplus to divide among

roof, he recommended an enlargement of
the state house. The recommendation was
approved by the legislature and under its
authority the governor provided plans for,
and on December n, 1890, laid the corner
stone of the new state house. At a cost
of less than 100000 Massachusetts, has

credit to the great commonwealth.
Governor Ames was always interested
in the affairs of his native town and for her
he planned wisely and generously. He was
also connected with many philanthropic
undertakings.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
A Social Sensation.

Suits which Involve the Celebrated
Colt Family and millionaire James j.
Van Allen.
A social sensation has been sprung at
Providence, r. l., this week. Mrs. Eliza
beth M. Colt, wife of Col. Samuel =. Colt,
filed petition asking for a legal separa-
ton from her husband, the care of their
two minor children and a suitable annuity.
She claimed that the cause for her petition
was adultery committed by her husband.
The correspondent is not named, but is I'M
derstood to be a young woman of social
distinction who is relative of the Colt
family. Col Colt caused a writ of arrest
to be issued against James j. Van Allen,
the well-known Newport society man. He
charges Mr.. Van Allen with alternating his
wife's affection and places the damages at
100000. The defendant has not been APP
pretended He is understood to be at
Shelburne, VT, as a guest of Col. Webb.
1t will be necessary for Van Allen to fur
nish bail in the sum of 100000.
Mr.. and Mrs. Colt have lived in Bristol,
but they have a town residence in Provi-
dence and are prominent in Newport and
New York society. James j. Van Allen,
the Newport millionaire who is involved in
the case, came very much into the public
eye through his appointment to the Italian
mission by President Cleveland. He de-
clined the Office on account of the vigorous
protests against him. Van Allen lives at
Newport only few months of each year,
spending most of his time abroad. He
contributed $4,000 to the last Democratic
presidential campaign fund although it is
alleged that he had not taken sufficient in
terest in American affairs to vote. 1t was
claimed that his campaign contribution
was made with the expectation of political
preferment.
Col. Colt is of the celebrated Colt re-
volver family of Connecticut and is one of
the representative and most respected bust
ness men of Rhode Island. He is lawyer
by profession and has served as attorney
general. Retiring from that Office he was
chosen to shape the affairs of the Indus
trial trust company, which had just built
the largest business block in Rhode Island
He is brother of United States Circuit

from my labors. After trying several rem

exceptionally good for the nervous ex-

relief it afforded me was almost instan-

Nervura as the best tonic and restorer of

markable for the rapidity with which its

is absolutely harmless, and the instantane-

Dictator Morris Turned Down.

Rev. Herbert w. Boyd was Endorsed as
pastor of the Second Congregational church
of Hartford Friday. Mr.. Boyd is an in
dependent, and voted for Cleveland in
1892. This fact becoming known,
Ephraim Morris, a wealthy wooden manu-
facturer and strong Republican, recent
ly refused to contribute TO the support of
the pastor. Mr. Morris and his business
associates have heretofore been the main
supporters of the church. Rev. Mr.. Boyd
declared that he would remain on princi-
pie, accepting such salary as the church
could pay. Thereupon, he was advised
by Morris's supporters to resign, as he was
not generally liked. The pastor was dis
inclined to believe this, and called for a
church meeting to determine Morriss posi-
ton The pastor was supported in the
meeting by a vote of 80 to 4, and the SEN
timent in the community is believed to be
quite strong in support of the pastor.

The Prohlbltory Law In hu,lu

Peculiar complications have Nrisen
Gently in regard TO the execution of thu
prohibtory law in Rutland Mayor John
A. Sheldon instructed the chief of police
to close every saloon at II o'clock at night,
but newspaper correspondent found that
although the saloons apparently obeyed
this order they were doing business at
o'clock behind drawn curtains. One of
the most reliable officers in Rutland says
"The prohibitory law makes the mayor S
order farce. If Vermont is prohibition
state, why should there be any saloons at
all? The law is, in theory, supposed to be
enforced, but Mayor Sheldon, the mayor
of a city in prohibition Vermont, admits,
by his own instructions, that the law is
openly defied. / have been familiar with
the general situation for a year, but am a
subordinate, and simply obey orders. OF
course the law is openly and defantly vio-
lated every night and day. Others say
that the people of the city are opposed to
any such force, and will hereafter oppose
all prOhibitory legislation" Twenty sa-
looms in Rutland are selling liquor openly.

900 Criminals Arrested In Chicago.

The Chicago police, inspired 10y the
many audacious burglaries and highway
robberies which have taken place lately in
that city, have INDUCED in a roundup of
suspicious characters, and in three days
have arrested 300 worthless of the criminal
class. The chief of police says that Chi
cago has become the winter headquarters
of the thieves of the country, and he is de-
termined to break this up. Many of the
hotels in the Worlds Fair district in the
southern part of the city have been turned
into dwellings and apartment houses, and,
as the section is poorly policed, many as
saults and robberies have been committed
even in broad daylight in that section. The
city has long been misgoverned, and one
of the chief sources of scandal has been
the incompetency of the police to deal
with the criminal element.
