The BELvINS' TROUBLES
An Application for Alimony Made
by the Mining Mans
Wife.
Parties to the Controversy Well
Known in San Francisco and
the South.

SEW TOf:K, N. Y, July 17.-An appli-
cation was made in the Supreme Court,
before Justice Slower, to-day for an allow
ance of alimony and counsel fees for Re-
becca Wentworth Belvin in the suit for
absolute divorce which she has brought
against her husband, William Main Bel
vim. Both of the parties are said to have
been prominent in social circles here, in
San Francisco and in the South.
Mrs. Belvin in her complaint alleges
that they have been married six years and
have no children. For some time, she
says, they have been living on an elabor-
ate scale here at the Fifth-avenue, MARI
borough and Cerlach hotels. They were
Living in the latter hotel up to June last,
when the separation took place.
The plaintiff says that her husband is a
rich promoter and mine-owner, having in
terests in the Victor. Eagle and ECLIPSE
mines in Cripple Creek and also in the
Colombian Railway Company of the
United States of Colombia. She says that
their living expenses have been at least
$1,000 a year, and that he lately made
$4,000 for promoting company.
In answer Belvin makes charges of i'm
morality against his wife. He denies,
through his counsel, that he is interested
in any of the mines mentioned and he is
merely promoter in placing stocks.
He alleges that he is without means
now and that there are many judgments
against him which aggregate large
amounts and which he is unable to pay.
He says also that not long ago he gave his
wife twenty-four city lots in the city of
Seattle, Wash, fourteen of which she sold
at 500 apiece, still retaining the other ten.
Justice SteYer reserved his decision.

LOTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT.
Illinois Gold Democrats Urged to
Kick Over the Traces OF Gov
ernor Altgeld.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 1.-THE Illinois
gold Democratic organization is receiving
plenty of encouragement in the bundle of
letters written from a.! sections of the
United States to headquarters. Since the
National address was issued about 100 let
tiers and numerous kilograms have been
received Most of the letters have been
answered by requests for the writer's to
organize sound money" clubs in their
city and county at once preparatory to
sending delegates to National conven-
ton.
Henry Vollmer, Mayor of Davenport,
Iowa, wrote to assure the Illinois commit
tee Of the hearty sympathy of the Democ-
racy of his city and Scott County. Thomas
Carly OF Knoxville, Tenn, stated that the
new ticket movement had the approval Of
every sound money Democrat in the city
to whom he had spoken.
E. L. May of Montgomery, Ala, wrote
TO say that the Democrats of his city
would either vote for Mckinley, or not at
all.
Frederick w. Schultz, a merchant of
Baltimore, writes by request of a number
OF Democrats to express their opinion that
the Chicago convention was not Demo-
cratic in any respect and that they would
not vote at all if third ticket was not
put up.
Postmaster Gould of Moline ILL.,, sent a
list of forty-five local Democrats who will
not vote for Bryan and many of them for
Mckinley.
c. c. Moore of Little Rock, Ark, ex-
Attorney-Generalo of Arkansas, wrote: 81
know that we can accomplish nothing
toward electing the nominees of the pro-
posed new convention, but we can and will
maintain our manhood and political in
tegrity. Less can be hoped for In Arkan-
sas than in any other State. An over
whelming majority of the Democracy of
the State has trained after the strange
gods of the Populists.''
Laurence A. Sexton, on behalf of the
State Democracy of New York City, tele-
graphed the result of last nights meeting
and added: keep up the good light"
There will be meeting of the State
Committee Monday next to hear and act
on the reports and correspondence as to
other States. The committee favors put
ting up an anti-Altgeld State ticket if a
new Presidential ticket is named. There
was talk to-day that Altgeld would with.
draw from the ticket on account of the
embarrassment which the death to-day of
his brother-in-law, John w. Lanehart.
would bring him, but his political friends
assert that the Governor would continue
N the race and attend to his public and
private business.

ROBBED ONLY ONE MAN,
Rather Clumsy Attempt to Hold UP the
Passengers on Rock Island

LINCOLN. NEBR-, July lit de-
veloped to-day that clumsy attempt was
made last night TO hold up the passengers
on Rock Island train directly in front
of the depot. Just after the train pulled
in and while the crew was engaged in
switching some extra coaches three men
boarded the front end of the chair car and
proceeded with revolvers in hand to ask
the occupants to turn over their valuables.
Only one man contributed, and he was so
badly frightened that he failed to make an
cutlery until the highwaymen had jumped
from the car and disappeared. The
amount secured was small. The affair
was not reported to the police until to-day.

robbing the place of money and valuaples.

an armed force of workmen, headed by

fixed, but it would probably be arranged
to have the demonstration during the first
week in August.
People poured into the train at several
stations and rode short distances, the bet
ter to get an opportunity to see the noml-
nee. Many ladies in addition to the Soro-
sis contingent were in the Lincoln party
that joined the train at Tecumseh. and as
nearly all were friends of Mrs. Bryan
things began to assume quite homelike
air.
A knot of people cheered at Smartville
as the train whirled past. and at Sterling,
where stop of minute was made, those
assembled there gave three cheers and
tiger.
One little incident occurred at Sterling
was witnessed with the greatest interest
by those in the car in which Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan happened to be at the time. The
finger of Grace Bryan was caught under
falling window sash, and the pitiful cries
of the little one brought Mrs. Bryan
to its side. She took the youngster IN her
arms and bound the injured finger with
pocket-handkerchief, talking soothingly
all the while. Mr.. Bryan also did what
he could to quiet the child, and their COM
bined efforts finally had the desired effect.
Adams turned out 100 of its population;
Firth had contingent of enthused inhab-
itants and their cheers was augmented by
the steam-whistle of roller-min and an
anvil salute. 1t was the same story again
at Hickman, the last. stopping place be-
fore reaching Lincoln.
The train rolled into the Union depot at
Lincoln at Z o'clock and Mr.. Bryan was
given tremendous ovation by the assem-
bled thousands

w. p. johnson, an Uncle OF the State
Printer, Takes His Own


W. P. Johnson, an uncle of the present
State Printer, was found dead in his bed
at 1049 Mission street yestesday morning.
All indications point to the death as one
of suicide.
Johnson came to this City about five
months ago from Sacramento, where his
wife and family continue to reside. He
secured a position as collector for lum-
ber company, and for while seemed to
prosper. He was suffering from lung
trouble, and in consequence aroused the
sympathy of Mrs. Kattschmldt, at who SO
home he secured room. Some weeks
ago he lost his situation, and last week
made brief visit to Sacramento.
On Wednesday he returned apparently
much depressed. He Stunned all ac-
quaintances, answering such questions as
were addressed him in short but courteous
tones. Yesterday morning Mathew Allen,
a roomer at 1049 Mission street, while
passing through the hall detected the
odor of gas emanating apparently from
Johnson's room. In the company of Mrs.
Kattschinidt he entered Johnson's room.
The latter was lying on the bed partly
dressed, and from the chandelier q steady
