Two Hills Where One Was Before.
Judge Smith yesterday granted a decree of
divorce to Marquis A. Hills from his wife
Emma. The case was not contested and
the decree was granted by default.
The trouble in this case, as alleged by
Hills in his petition, was the refusal Of
Mrs. Hills to make his bed for him or share
her board. He referred incidentally to
threats and bad temper and all those minor
causes, but the thing that stuck in his crop
was the refusal of his wife to make his bed
from day to day. Mrs. Hills has removed
to Des Moines where her parents reside,
and Marquis Is now at liberty to have beds
made for him so long as he is willing to
nav for IL.

SAD CASE OF GEORGE RAMSEY
Grief Has Unbalanced His Mind and
PnrnIyzcd His

Grief Has Unbalanced His Mind and
P~nrnIyzcd His Tongue.
George Ramsey, a middle-aged man, is
being held in the city Jail pending an in
auiry into his sanity. His case is a partic-
ularly sad and pitiful one. One day last
week he applied to the Christian home for
care and shelter of his four young children,
| the Youngest a babe of only a few months,
| and the eldest not over Z years old. He told
Manager Lemen that his wife had died a
short time ago, and that, unable to provide
a home for his little ones, he had brought
| his little family from the old home at South
English, Ia, in the hope of securing tenn
pcrary care for them until he could arrange
his affairs so that he would not be obliged
to give them up permanently. Arrange
ments were made that satisfied him. He
parted with his babies with the greatest re-
luetance, and when he left the manager sup
posed he had returned to his desolated home.
Later in the day he appeared at the home
and acted so strangely that the people
there thought he was drunk, and the police
were asked to look after him. He was locked
up in the city Jail, but the fact was soon dis
covered that he was not intoxicated, but
mentally unbalanced by the death of his
wife. He has been confined in the city jail
since his arrest, the officers hoping that his
condition would change so that it would not
necessitate his removal to an insane asylum.
All day Sunday he sat on his bed in the
little room where he is confined, scarcely
moving, and utter:ng no word unless spoken
to-, and then talking only of the death of his
wife and the enforced separation from his
children. After talking a moment grief
paralyzea his tongue and his speech becomes
thick and maudlin, like the tones of a man
far gone on the road toward complete in
toyication. His case is very pitiful and eX-
cited much sympathy from the officers.

Alexander Held to the Grand Jury.

After numerous postponements the
charges against j. d. Alexander, so far as the
Justices courts are concerned, were dis
| posed of yesterday. Alexander was ar
raigned in Justice Cook court yesterday
morning upon five complaints charging him
with breaking into and robbing Rock Island
freight cars. The defendant has been out
on bail since his arrest last winter. When
the cases were called this morning his attor-
ney appeared and after arguing for the dis
missal of the charges and failing to con-
vince the court that there existed any reason
fer such action, announced to the court that
he would advise his client to waive examina-
ton. The order was accordingly entered
and Alexander was turned over to the
tender mercies of the grand jury. The bond
upon which he secured his liberty after his
arrest still holds, and he was not required
to give any additional security.

Accident Mt st. Francis Academy.
Sister Patricia O'Flaherty died yesterday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at st. Francis

received Saturday afternoon, while engaged
in making a preparation to wax the floors
OF the building.
She was in the laundry heating a mixture
Of turpentine. beeswax and linseed oil. The
laundry is located in the basement of the
building. and she was alone in the room.
The mixture boiled over and caught from the
fire in the stove and instantly. the whole
mass was in a blaze. 1t is not known how 1t
happened, but in some manner the flaming
stuff was thrown over her clothes. No help
was at hand and she made her way up the
stairway and fell faint!ng on the floor, en-
veloped in flames. The other nuns quickly
smothered the fire with blankets and rugs,
but not until her habit had been consumed
and her body burned In a fearful manner.
Sister Patricia forgot her own terrible agony
for n moment and called upon the others
to extinguish the fire and save the building.
Her presence of mind no doubt prevented
a dangerous fire. The fire had spread to a
large pile of freshly Numbered articles, and
was blazing fercely when the sisters put 1t
out by throwing water. The table upon which
the clothes were lying was burned and the
woodwork Of the room badly scorched.
