LILLIAN SEEKING DIVORCE.
Exiied in Dakota to Be Rid OF
PeruGini.


New York, July 23. Miss Lillian Rus
sell disappeared some days ago from this
city, ana all callers at her flat, at the
Arista, have been turned away with the
assurance that the prima donna was ''out
of town. but would seen return.
AS matter OF fact, Miss Russell has
from Sig. Perugini, her very latest hus-
band
Miss Russell has taken up a residence
In Fargo, that city OF would-be Divorces,
and has secureda comfortable little house
in the quietest AMI incest part of that city.
She has rot nad de her appearance in public
at all.
Papers have been filed in the clerks
office of the district court, but the specific
charges on which she asks divorce have
not been made as yet. Her attorneys,
as well as herself, maintain utmost se-
crocy, but when the matter comes up for
trial in chambers she viii have to come
out from her hiding place and be sub
jected 20 the eye OF the public.
The enga cement OF Miss Russell and Sig
in January | sol 1t was not by any means
Miss RusseII's first matrimonial venture,
and, indeed, 50 complicated had become
her career In that way that there Were
legal questions arising ont of the propo-
sition to have the latest ceremony per
formed in this State.
30 one morning the fair Lillian and the
brave Perugini stole quietly over to Ho-
boken and were married by Justice Muller
The ceremony had been preceded by many
columns CT advertising, and when Miss
Russell became Mrs Perugini, or rather
Mrs Chatterton, for that is the tenor's real
name, she was better known TO the public
than ever before.
That was her third matrimonial ven
ture. Her first husband was Harry Bra
ham, the orchestra leader, to whom she
was married In 1879. She was only a
chorus girl then, but had already attract
ed much attent ton by reason OF her beauty
and ner voice.
They did not live happily for long, and
one day Miss Russell, who had become
prime donna In the Casino, eloped TO
England with Edward Solomon, the COM
poser. Braham secured a divorce in 1SS4
and she afterward married Solomon
with whom she lived until Ss6, when she
left him On learning that he had another
wife living in England.
In 1894 Miss Russell was released from
her Second matrimonial tie by Judge Nc
Adam. at once began the rurnors OF a
third venture. Then came the Perugini mar
marriage Then another separation.
The tenor and the prima donna did not
enjoy long honeymoon. Miss Russell
said many things about her husband, and
vowed that ne'er again would she tempt
.ate in that direction.
When the first ruInors or divorce from
| Perugiri were brought to Miss Russell s
attention several months ago she declared
! that she did not want to be free again.
I've had all OF married life I want,
| she said to friend, land if don't get

FOUR WOMEN MUST DIE.
They Poisoned Their Relatives to
Secure Insurance Money.

Budapest. July 23--Four women who
were arrested at Hodmezoe, Hungary, On
the charge OF having poisoned members
OF their families for the purpose of secur-
ing the small amount of insurance on the
lives Of their victims, have been found
guilty and sentenced 10 death.
The poisoning trials st Hedmezoe have
excited widespread interest, having re-
vealcd the existence or a conspiracy to
destroy life by the wholesale. A midwife
named Jaeger appears to have been the
prime mover in the murders. She obtained
poison from chemists assistant and then
sold il to those who desired to put anyone
out OF the way. 1t was said at the time
the facts were first made public that there
was scarcely house in Hodmezoe in which
suspicion did not exist that deaths dating
back several years were the result OF foul
play. One man was accused OF having
siIled his father and mother, his father-in

A FARMER DIES OF RABIES.
The Attending Physician Called
1t Catarrh of the stomach,

Saratoga, n. Y, July 23..G Gorge w
Hart, q farmer, in the town OF Greenfield,
aged fifty-two years. died a violent death
yesterday after an illness of twelve hours
About two months since Mr.. Hart was
bitten by rabid dog, which inflicted
wounds upon several of his cows, his
SOP, and Farmland named John Donlon
Doalon went to the Pasteur Institute, Ia
New York, for treatment and returned
cured. The Harts paid no attention to
their bites. The physician who attended
Farmer Hart gave catarrh OF the stomach
as the cause OF death, but as it required
the efforts Of four OF the strongest resi-
dents OF Greenfield TO hold the dying
man, and as he frothed at the mouth and
snapped like dog, the popular verdict Is
that death resulted from the mad dogs
bite Mr.. Hart's son is also ailing.

WAITING ON The SENATE.
The House AInsses Itself Uptll
the Tariff Bill Is Passed.

The session Of the House yesterday
was brief and upimport ant. consisting
chiefly of three sessions each followed
" recess At the outset Mr. simp-
son put The House in good hupor by
correction of the Record which, under
the circumstances, the Speaker publicly
admitted was proper In a recent speech,
which Was nipyed ia the bud by the
Speaker, MIR Simpson found q time to chaTac-
teriza the House as being brutal. -
The official reporters caught the wrong
word and Nh simpson was quoted as
sayin. tnis was a "frug al House.
The Speaker appreciated the Importance
OF the correction, but thought it ought
TO be made when the approval of the
journal was up for consideration, and
not when the House was in recess.
Mr.. simpson admitted this, but thought
il he was compelled 20 wait for that hour
to arrive be would have no opportunity
again this session. The correction was
accordingly made.
The business of the day consisted solely
OF the passage Of In approving the set
tlenient CT d boundary dispute between
Nebraska and South Dakota, and joint
resolution authorizing the employment Of
an additional indeXing clerk for two
months. An effort was made to transfer
$4,000 Of an unexpended balance from
the appropriation for the Army for 1895
to the same purposes for 1897, in order
that the military cadets and others might
get their pay, but Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee,
despite the entreati OF fellow Democrats,
objected, and no action was had on the
eSolution.
ar Grosvcnor sought to force through
9 resolution giving chairmen Ito be appoint
ed or committees having annual or session
clerks a private clerk during the recess
OF Congress, such a other members have,
but was defeated.
Mr. Meeiison of Nebraska wanted to
| know if Congress could get along without
aese clerks while Congress was in ses-
sion why it was necessary to have adtl-
tional clerks during recess and thelauehter
| that follow Cd this inquiry caused MIR. 6 ros-
renor to retire in disgust.
The House then took a recess until 5
| o'clock. and at that hour conv vened only
| to meet again at o'clock, In the hope
| that by that time the tariff bill would be
passed by the Senate. Mr. McMinin doubted
! the probability Of the passage of the bill,
| ut Mr. nngley urged the session, saying
! that each day OF delay was causing the Gov
| enrment loss OF 81 90, 900
| But asked Mr.. Gaines .'how much Of
profit to the Sugar Trust?'
| At g o'clock q further recess was taken
| until noon today.

The usual frog story crops up after every
heavy rain The idea that under certain
circumstances showers of batrarhians will
tumble from the clouds, seems to be prac-
ticaIly indestructible Whether the beIiev-
ers in this theory of a frog heaven think
that there is q tract Of low grounds some
where in the atmosphere, or that the
capillary attraction of the air is so strong
as to draw the frogs right out OF their holes
and up into the clouds, there TO be held in
state OF suspended animation till the next
big rain, has never been fully elucidated.
II is undeniable that after heavy shower
the small creatures are apt to be so thick
under foot as to strain Buddhist's religion
severely, but they don't rain down. They
just COME out to enjoy the coolness, or be-
fause their holes are full Of rain water, or
for some other froggish reason.

NO OVERHEAD BRIDGE TROLLEY.
A Decision Against the Capital Rail-

The Capital Railway Company viii not
be allowed to use an overhead trolley on
the navy yard bridge. Attorney Thomas
yesterday afternoon rendered an opinion
to the Commissioners that in view of the
act or 1895 they are without authority to
grant the permit.
Attorney Thomas has two reasons for
his opinion. The railroad people Contended
that the navy yard bridge was not in the
District of Columbia. Mr.. Thomas dispOses
of this idea by quoting the law OF August,
1885, which extended the boundaries OF
the District "tC comprehend the lower
Eastern Branch and the navy yard bridge"
Further than that, the law of 1896 ex-
grossly states that the company SHAH use
either horse power or underground electric
system to propeI its cars"
The Commissioners viii probably act ad
versely on the application at their next
