Bigamy at Least.

Thomas w. Michelmore, formerly Of
this city, is under arrest at Albert Lea,
Mimi, of the charge of bigamy, but
will undoubtedly be released from GUS

Grove street, this city, stated last. even
ing that she had obtained a divorce
from her husband ifleAprily 1884 The
arrest Of Michelnhore grew out Of his
marriage two weeks ago to a young
woman of Albert Lea under the name
Of Thomas Wilson. When the mar
riage became known it was learned
that Michelmore had a wife and family
in ST. Paul, and without waiting to
learn whether or not he was divorced
he was arrested. Sheriff Mitchell of
Albert Lea, was in St Paul yesterday
for the purpose of subpoenaing Mrs
MichelmOre as a witness against her
former husband, but upon learning the
true state of affairs was unable to pro-
ceed in the matter.
. Notwithstanding that Michelmore
will undoubtedly escape prosecution on
the charge of bigamy, he may be
brought back to this city on some other
charge, as 1T is claimed that ne passed
several worthless checks here last June
His divorced wife and four children

ON "THE LIVING CHRIST,
Subject of DIR. Kate BushneII's Talk
Last Night.

DR.. Kate Bushnell spoke in the par

before small gathering. Her remarks
were on the living Christ of today, who.
she held, should be with every Chris
tan rather than the image of the dead
address and theme were peculiarly in
teresting. She said, toward the end of
her address, that Christian science,
theosophy and all the isms of today
would be impossible, excepting that
those who call themselves Christians
have not known Christ except by the
one touch whens he forgave them their
sins and they allowed him to pass by.
She said there is no religion except
Christ manifest himself, and gave her
own experience in this respect. She
believed rather in a Christ of today
with whom one might keep pace than
in historical one.

Everybody wonders why the COVER

that accompanies a rush for office.
The executive had signed the bill MAX

But the appointment was not made.
Executive Clerk Angel said it was
likely the new Judge would not be
named for several days. It seems to
be the impression that Qvale, of Kan
diyohi, has the requisite pull, and that
the commission will be made out in
his name. But this prediction means

Manning Denied New Trial.

Judge Kelly filed an order yesterday deny
ing the plaintiffs motion for new trial in
the case Of Ellen Manning against the st.
Paul City Railway company. The case was
tried before a struck jury, which found a
verdict for the street railway company. In
his motion for new trial counsel for plaintiff
raised the objection that the list of names
from which the struck jury was selected had
been irregularly prepared. Judge Kelly held
that inasmuch as plaintiffs counsel had at

waived his right to raise the objection.

Chief Justice Start had a letter from
Judge Mitchell dated at Pass Christian,
Miss, in which he said he would be
home the latter part of the month, but
he failed to mention Judge Clark or
his plans. Judge Clark, it is supposed, is
also at Pass Christian, and, If anything
should delay their arrival here, the
chief justice might find 1t necessary to
sit on the bench with Judge Buck and
open court without the full bench.
Aside from the extra work such a
contingency would place on the chief

less InGiscretiOn.
So Harmless indiscretion en- the. part Of
Jurors such as might occur In the in
VestigatiOn of an accident happening

Judge Kelly's opinion, sufficient cause
for setting aside the verdict. The mo-
ton to set aside the verdict and grant
new trial was made by the plaintiff
in the suit Of Ellen Rush on behalf
Of her son, Philip, against the street
railway company. Philip is the boy
who was run into by a bicycle and
thrown upon the street railway tracks
on University avenue, where he was
struck by an interurban car and Sc
riously injured. The motion for a new
trial was based on the alleged mis-
conduct Of the jury. or rather upOn
the part of Jurors Adam Bede and Ha-
German, who visited the scene of the
accident before the conclusion of the
trial and made a diagram of the sur
roundings. The jury returned a YER
dict for the street railway company.
In the memorandum accompanying the
order denying plaintiffs motion for a
new trial, Judge Kelly says:
Il am convinced that neither the con-
duct of the juror, Bede nor Haberman.
could have prejudiced the plaintiff S
case. And 1t is only where a Juror S
misconduct might reasonably be said
to prejudice the case that it affords
grounds for a new trial. On this trial
there was no dispute about the locality
the positions of all the houses and
other fixed objects were admitted and
located on the map, defendants ex-
hlbit A in evidence, SO that the jurors
driving along the street at and about
the place of the accident and even
carefully noting all they could then
see, could not possibly add anything
to what were conceded to be facts on
the trial

Were the speed of the car and what dis
tance the car was from the boy when

If counsePs contention is correct. a
