Te Prove 1t Mrs. Brown Charges Bur
glary aud Bigamy.

The officers of the city have had ter
rible tale of woe poured into their ears
today by woman calling herself Mrs.
Martha Brown, who is anxious to swear
out a complaint charging her husband
With "failing to support her." She halls
from New Haven, Conn.,, and while the
charge may be legal and punishable by
a fine or imprisonment, or both, in Yam
keedom, it doth not appear as crime
on the Oregon statute. There are many
men in Oregon who not only fail to sup
port their wives, but are often supported
by them. The sheriff upon listening to
Mrs. Browns troubles secured hearing
for her before the recorder, but he un-
feelingly would not issue the desired
warrant of arrest, and she was sent to
Justice Filloon. Soon afterwards she
tried to get Attorney Story to do some
thing for her, but che must have failed,
for shortly again, she was around at the
place OF beginning, and nothing had
been accomplished toward furnishing
her recreant husband.
Her story is that Mr.. Brown had been
PCI W CdnO 10 OTOROH through
the letters of some women living near
the city on farm, he claiming to her
they were his sisters; that shortly after
arriving he became strangely familiar
with them, considering the alleged SIS
terly relation, and that his affections for
her correspondingly decreased. He had
not been the most faithful of husbands
even in New Haven, where he pursued
the trade of shoemaker, but she would
have lived with him here If he had be-
haved himself. Now she. wants him ar
rested for non support, and to prove it,
she asserts that heewas burglar in Con-
necticut, has served sentence of eight
years in states prison, and has another
wife in Kentucky, and is therefore a
bigamist. She has been married to him
% years and has grown daughter. He
ha.l threatened to cut her throat if she
told all these things, but she concluded
to chance it.
| Up to the hour of going to press, Mrs.
Brown had not procured her coveted
warrant, though it will readily be con-
ceded that if her story is true, she ought
to have it.

a HANDSOME MoNuMENT.
1t Is of Vermont Marble For Pierre
Grimaud--Native Stone.


Mr.. Comini, the marble cutter, has
just finished a handsome monument for
Pierre Grimaud, who died several
months since. 1t is of Vermont marble,
very enduring and handsome stone
standing about eight feet high.
Mr.. Comini is now working upon a
stone coping and posts of the fine
building stone of which the locks are
made, for use in Mr.. Kelly's lot in the
Catholic cemetery. This stone possesses
qualities of endurance, also, which make
it admirable for the purpose intended.
though of different origin than all
other stone for these uses. The stone
at the locks is of volcanic origin. Though
an immense amount of it has been used
in the great government work at the
locks, it does not come from an original
deposit, but is found plentifully as float
in enormous bowlders several miles dis
tant. Mr.. Winans claims to have an mex
haustible ledge of the same kind of rock
at his homestead twenty-five miles
above Hood River. This rock, as stated
before, possesses qualities of endurance
equalling or surpasslng the finest mar

turies does not disentegTate or rot it. 1t

purposes or building stone. 1t will GER

diminution, and that is long enough.

most powerful efforts of man to preserve
unchanged in appearance the product of
organic life. The stone coping that en-

AIiIler.s Board BIN.

Hans Miller was arrested last night at
Cascade Locks by Constable Hill, who
went down on purpose to attend to
that official errand. The charge is
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, and was preferred by Mr.. F. w.
L. Skibbe. Miller boarded at the Skib-
be hotel and in payment thereof gave
Skibbe an order on Mr.. Peetz, for whom
Miller had worked. Miller was in Mr..
Peetz' debt alright. The only trouble
was that he got around and collected the
amount subsequent to giving the order
to Skibbe. There is a chance for legal
contention on the part of the defense
that at the time Miller gave the order
the amount was rightfully due and that
consequently Miller did no wrong. How.
ever, we are uninformed on what will bs
the line of defense. The trial will oc
cur at o'clock this afternoon. Mr.
skibbe has given bonds for the paymen
of costs.

One of the free silver arguments ad-

ially to farmers. is that silver Is the
great regulator of prices. They have
( tried their best to make 1t appear that
when silver is up other commodities are
up, and then they come along with their
! promise to double the price OF silver.
Nothing IS clearer than that silver does
not regulate the prices OF other COM
modities. t.
Below will be found prices OF nine
staple commodities in the Wheeling
Wholesale market at certain periods of
z the present year. enough quotations be-
ing given to follow the course of the
market well through the year. Follow
ing these quotations. are the market
quotations for silver covering the same
period.
AS to the general results, corn and
wheat have gained five cents on the

The Republicans held orc OF the most
successful, meetings OF the campaign
tonight, at the court house, which was
too small TO accommodate the large
crowd. Senator Wellington, OF Mary
land, was the only speaker, and his
speech was strong argument In favor
OF the Republican candidate He read
an extract from Senator. Faulkner's
speech in the senate in which he de-
clared that the only way, to secure BIZ
metalllsm was by International agree
ment. and which the speaker declared
was identical with the Republican plat
form on the money question. This hit
at Faulkner was the event OF the meet
Ing and aroused great enthusiasm.
Senator Wellington was introduced
by Chairman Clohan, OF the county ex-
ecutive committee, and he held the
closest attention OF his audience for
over two hours.
