Popularity of the Man Nominated Min.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, June 25.-Irving Be.
dell Dudley was born In Southeastern Ohio
in 1860. In 1877 he entered Kenyon Col
lege, graduating therefrom four years
later with high honors and taking the de-
gree of A. B. He then by the advice OF his
parents and friends decided to make the
profession of the law his life work, and
his success in lie thus far in his chosen
career has seminently justified the wisdom
of that choice. After reading law a few
months he removed to Washington for
the purpose OF studying at the Columbi a
Law School of that city, from which in sti-
tuition ne was sent out al the age of %
tull hedged doctor of laws.
At this time fstjering offer was made
him to remain in Washington in the SER
vice OF the War Department. Three years.
service followed, and in the spring of 1888
he migrated TO the West, landing in San
Diego IN April. He Immediately opened
law Office with III. G. Cleveland. and in
few months found himself one of the
most popular young lawyers of the young
city of his adoption.
In the fall of 1890 he was elected to the
Office OF Police Judge of this city, and at
the expiration of his first term was re-
elected by big majority. Two years ago
last fall he received the nomination for
District Attorney of the county, but after
an extraordinarily hard-fought cam mpaign,
he was defeated by scratch by fusion
of Democrats and Populists.
Personally Judge Dudley is and always
has been one OF the most popular young
men of San Diego. Politically he has ever
been an uncom prom ising Republican, true
to the traditions and fundamental doc
trines of his party and always, even in the
face OF threatened defeat, refusing 10 be
led away from the main issue By any of
the false gods of alleged reform.
His appointment as Minister to Peru is
received with unadulterated pleasure by
every one who knows him, politically op-
posed or otherwise. Physically speaking,
Judge Dudley occupies the enviable posi-
tion of being generally considered the
handsomest man in this bailiwick. He
stands feet inch in height, weighs 200
pounds and is straight as an arrow

Philadelphia Matter of Great
Concern

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 25.-With.
in the next two weeks President Mckinley
is expected to appoint Collector of the
Port of Philadelphia and there is redhot
interest in the personnel of the successful
nominee, from the fact that the appoint
ment will probably determine the future
attitude of Senator Quay toward the ad-
ministra ton.
There are but two candidates-Stste
Senator Wesley Thomas of this city,
whose interests have been made personal
matter by Senator Quay, and Judge
Thomas J. Clayton OF Chester County,
who was one of the five Mckinley dele
gates from Pennsylvania to ST. Louis and
is the distinct candidate of the McKinle y
ties.
From personal standpoint the contest
is OF National in terest from the fact that
Judge Clayton Is a brother of ex-senator
Powell Clayton Of Arkansas, President
McKinley's appointee as Minister to Mex
leo, and of William Henry Harrison Claw
ton, appointed by President Mckinley as
United States Attorney for the Southern
District OF Arkansas.
There were originally four brothers, one
OF them having been killed in Arkansas
as the outcome of a political feud two
years since, and with two of the others
already provided for, the Quayites are sar-
castically asking whether i: is really
thing more for the Clayton family.
Senator Quay has made characteristic
fight for his friend, and if the plum should

PARIS, TEX, June 25.-J. q. Colgate,
who resides In the interior of the Choctaw
nation, Indian Territory, some forty miles
north of this city. who was here to-day
on business connected with the Federal
Court, recited a most remarkable story re-
garding the falling of gigantic meteor
in his neighborhood at ? o'clock last Mon
day morning. It was exceedingly brill
liant, lighting up the heavens almost as
light as day, and the light lasted for a
few seconds in its wake after it had
passed. The meteor fell at a sharp angle.
1t struck the barn of an Indian which it
crashed through as if it were but an egg
shell, burying itself in the ground be-
meath for distance Of some eight feet,
when it burst with loud report equal to
that OF the largest cannon.
The barn was completely demolished
and the fragments were burned. The
earth was shaken as if by some seismic
disturbance for some distance around.
An old horse and COW in the barn were in
stantly killed and appeared to have every
bone in them broken when taken out
after the fire. Fragments of the meteor
were hurled in every direction and the
trees were blazed and the limbs torn off
The atmosphere had very peculiar
smell, similar to that of sulphur, after the
explosion. The Indians in that vicinity
are reported as being awes tricken.

They Caused Interesting
Proceedings and Suits
for Divorce.
Being Reported Missing After
the War, His Absence Led
to New Marriages.
Now the Gay Veteran Is 81, and His
First Wife. Who Is 70, Continues
to Seek a Legal Separation.

BOSTON. MASS, June 25-Mrs. So
phronia w. Mathewson, rs years old,
to-day brought suit for divorce from Lu-
ther w. Mathswson, 80 years old. This
remarkable domestic drama was ex-
plotted in the Appellate court, in Provi-
dence, f. l., and one of the most surpris-
Ing things about the case is the fact that
the aged defendant is alleged to have
three other living wives.
On October 2, 1858. the plaintiff was
married to Luther w. Mathewson. In
1851 he went to the war and was reported
among the missing. Seventeen years
later she married James NJ. Place, by
whom she had several children. In 1890
Mathewson showed up and had another
wife with him. Mrs. Place continued 10
live with her husband No. 2, and began
proceedings for a divorce from Mathew
son.
The court refused this petition, ruling
that as Mrs. Mafhewson continued to live
with Place after she knew her legal hus-
band to be alive, she was guilty of infidel-
ity. The court set aside both of the sec
ond marriages. Mrs. Maihewson No. 2
brought auit against her putative husband
for $40. 600 for serving as his housekeeper
Then the original Mrs. Mathewson ap-
piled to him for her support. Mathewson
went away and was next heard from at

Chief Lses Says That Is All There
Is for the Police Department
In the Premises,


Chief OF Police Lees left the Coroner's
Office at the conclusion of the inquest yes
terdsy with the purpose OF attending the
funeral of Captain Short. He had in
structed his officers to take all the exhib-
its in the case 10 the City Hall and make
careful inventory of them and there
after TO place them where they would be
safe. The Chief was much absorbed an
the case and the outcome OF the inquest,
but declined at that time to say just what
he intended 10 do, further than that the
verdict of the jury was a definite point
in the proceedings, and would necessarily
influence mis- subsequent proceedings.
Seen at his office later in the day the
Chief said: 81 have no criticism to make
upon the verdict OF the Coroner's iurg.
That is done with, and it only remains
for the Police Department to shape its
course accordingly. l have laid all the
possession, and We simply propose to go

therefore, has fallen to me. The Little

liberty and from this time will have
charge of this matter. We propose to
keep digging. We will make no arrests
