A SAD CASE.

The Had Results or Illicit Love.
ANAMosA, June 20. -Anamosa has
had as romantic and sorrowful an ex-
ample of the result of illegitimate love
as has been known for some time.
Mr.. Hunter, n young man and a
harnessmalSer, at Monticello, and Mrs.
Frey, the wife of Woodworking man
of the same place, met and became in
fatuated with each other. They got
to gong together and it led to their
being too intimate, which resulted in
their being arrested for adultery. The
case was clear against them, and he
was sentenced to nine months and she
to- three months in Jail. She took
medicine and finally succeeded in COM
mitting abortion on herself, and she
has been at death door>for more than
a week. Yesterday morning at 6
o'clock she died in the jail. Her hus-
band was faithful to her and kindly
mlnistered to her every want while
sick, Notwithstanding her perfidy to
him She leaves five children. Her
companion in sin, Hunter, has always
been quite stylish and came from
highly respected family. The humilia-
tion of being in Jail was too much for
him. His mind is entirely gone. He
sits and does not know anyone. He
does not even know enough to eat. If
placed in one position he will stay
there until moved again. He is more
helpless than baby. His mother,
two sisters and brother-in-law are
at Anamosa, but he does not know
enough to turn his eyes and look at
them Sheriff Baheock has written
Gov. Jackson asking him to pardon
Hunter so his folks can take him home
with the hope OF partial recovery 1t
is the most peculiar case on record.

CABLE BROKE IN TWO
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TIE
HISTORY
OF THE SELBY AVENUE LINE
Confusion in the Power House
NO Traffic After Nine
O'Clock.

Last night, for the first time in the
history of the st. Paul cable system,
the cable itself broke squarely in two.
All service was thereupon suspended
for the day. The break was upon the
lower town section. or "sloW cable. -
and occurred about $50. Immediately
in front of the Dale street power
house Relieved of it's immense strain,
the cable leaped at once from all the
multitude of pulleys upon which it
runs over it's four-mile course. 1t also
fell away from the large cable wheel
and 'sheave" of the great power
house engine. On all previous occa
sions the break has been thar of a few
strands alone. In such cases the cable
remains taut and repairs are confined
to putting one splice in the broken
strands. Last night, however, not
only was it necessary to readjusI the
cable upon the pulleys and engine, but
to make, of course, a double splice
The accident is the more remarka BILE
as the present cable is quite new, hav-
ing been in use but three months. The
cause of the break is unknown
Had the mishap taken place a few
hours earlier much Inconvenience
would have been suffered by the pub
lie. AS it was, the chief annoyance
was felt by persons returning from the
theater. Additional service was at
once supplied on the Grand avenue and
| the Rondo street lines, so that by
walking few blocks all hill residents
were enabled to reach their homes.
Never before has an accident para
lyzed the cable service for so long d
time.

the sum of $13,2S0.74. The money re-
ceived from fines and other sources,
amounting to 81, 051.73 makes the total
drawn from the library fund S14, 1872 AZ,
which has been expended as follows:
For salaries, $6,4S0.13; books, So, 460.6 g.;
binding, $1,493.54; periodicals, $685.. Sd +;
light, $325.47; furniture and repairs,

insurance, $255; washing floors, $780,;
postage and expressing, $3.50; miscel-
laneous, $3.50.
There are 1929 reading cards in force.
Beginning, as the public library did,
with S,051 volumes, it now has 49, 1883.
The first years circulation was IL, PA
volumes, and last year it reached 245,-
169 volumes.
From the early beginning, in 1857, the
idea has been growing that the in
crease of the library would, in time,
require a proper building to store Its
volumes. That time seems not far
away, with the prospect that the sale
of the market house property will pro-
vide the means for the purchase of
land in a suitable location and the
erection of a fireproof building, which
is very desirable.
The report Of the librarian shows
that 1886 volumes were added to the
collection during the year 1894, making
the total, as already stated, $3.50.
There were no volumes worn out and
thirIy-five volumes lost. The total
registration of readers for the year
was 5,4S4, Of which 2,681 were males
and 2,S03 females. The number of
books taken out for home use was
1S8,495; for use in the rooms, sc, GA,
making an aggregate of 45, 1853 volumes.
The table showing the percentage of
circulation in the ten classes of books
the past year is interesting. Prose-f1c-
ton leads with a percentage of 1857,
followed by juvenile literature with a
percentage of 27.32. Law and medicine
ranked the lowest, with a percentage
of AT, while works on religion attained
only a percentage of 81.
The total increase in the circulation
since the last report is 1892
