GOODMAN VS..
A Change of Venue Taken in Two
Fike County Suits-Defendant in
One and Plaintiff in Another
is q Bank Cashier.

transcripts from the records of the
Louisiana Court of Common Pleas. in
I'M cases of Richard H. Goodman VS.,
Eleanora Goodman and Eleanor
Goodman VS.. Richard H. Goodman
and the bank of Louisiana, have been
filed with the Circuit Clerk OF Audrain
county.
Richard H. Goodman is cashier of
the bank at Louisiana; he is also a d.
rector of said bank and he asks that
a divorce from his wife be granted
him. In the other suit he and the
bank are defendants in q suit brought
by Mrs. Goodman to recover o., 200.
THE DIVORCE SUIT.
Richard H. Goodman asks that a de-
cree, divorcing him from his wife, be
granted. He claims that he was mar
RED to her in December, 1884, in
Cooper county, Mo-, and that thew
lived together until the year of 1895,
and that since that year she has re-
fused and failed to live with him as a
wife. He says that he has at all times
treated her with kindness, love and
affection. He further claims that she
mas charged him with being unfaith-
full to his marital vows. All of this,
the plaintiff alleges, has made his DO.
sition ~intolerable and he asks that a
divorce be granted and that he be
given the custody of the only child,
Louise.
THE SUIT FOR 81, 200.
Eleanora Goodman says that she is
the wife of Richard H. Goodman and
alleges, that prior to the time of
bringing suit she gave the defendant, |
Goodman, money belonging to her
with instructions to secure twenty
two 500 shares Of stock In the bank
OF Louisiana. Now it turns up, so the
plaintiff alleges, that Goodman bought
The shares but that he took the certifi-
Gates of ownership In his W name.
She further alleges that Goodman be-
came indebted to the bank of Louis
lana and that the said bank now holds
the twenty-five shares of stock as
collateral security for the debt. She
asks that the bank be compelled, by
law, to cancel the existing twenty
two shares of stock and to REISSUE the
same number of a like value in her
name.
The cases promise TO be quite in
.teresting and the following legal tai
emit is Employed:
For Mrs. Goodman-W.M. Williams
and Pearson Il Pearson. For Mr..
Goodman and the bank-W. Fl. Nor

Found Guilty OF Killing Relatives to Get

Four of the women who were arrest
ed at Hodmezoe, Hungary, on the
charge Of having poisoned members OF
their families for the purpose Of secur
ing the small insurance on the lives OF
their victims have been found guilty
and sentenced to death.
The poisoning trials at Hodmezoe
have excited widespread interest. hav-
ing revealed the existence Of conspir.
acy to destroy life by the wholesale. A
midwife named Jaeger was the prime
mover in the murders She obtained
poison from a chemists assistant and
then sold it to those who desired to put
any one out Of the way. 1t was said
when the facts were first made public
that there was scarcely house In Hod-
mezoe in which suspicion did not exist
that deaths dating back several years
were the result Of foul play. One man
was accused of having killed his father
and mother, his father-in-law and
mother in-law and finally his wife.

IMPOSTOR, NOT A HERO.
Placed the Rail on the Track Which He
Removed.

Placed tho Rail on the Track Which He
Removed.
The supposed "train wrecker" who
placed big steel rail across the track
of the Long Island railroad recently
proves to be Robert L. Burns, young
employee Of the company.
He it was who posed as hero for
few brief hours for discovering the rail
and removing it in time to prevent the
wrecking Of an express train.
He was arrested upon complaint OF
Trainmaster Jarvis. When arraigned
before Judge Stackpole i'll special ses-
sions he broke down and confessed his
guilt. He gave bail in the sum Of 81, 900
to appear before the next grand jury
and was released.
Burns said that he placed the rail Oh
the track by means Of crowbar and
swinging it over from the side Of the
track where it lay. The motive, he
said, was the hope Of a reward. He had
read Of an attempt at train wrecking
being prevented on one of the company q
branch lines, and that reward Of 500
was then offered by the company for the
finding and removal Of obstacles from
the track.
Burns is only 16 years Of age, though
he appears much older. He belongs to a
respectable family and has always borne
q good reputation. He was employed as
a messenger by the company, and the
height of his ambition had been to gain
promotion on the road.-New York Her.

during the Last 20 years, sold his plant
the other day to a syndicate Of local
capitalists for $50, 600 and will retire
from business. The sale was due to Ma

convictions. He has long advocated the
prohibition of the sale Of spirituous
liquors and finally came to regard the
tobacco business as incompatible with

II have the power to SEQ God whom

This startling declaration comes from
A. Y. Bjorkstrom, u st. Louis ma
ohipjst.
Bjorkstrom's workshop is his home,
and his leisure IL devoted to reading.
He IL native Of Sweden and has
lived In tho United States about ten
years, IL well educated and appears to

"God IL beautiful to behold" says
Bjorkstrom, "and 1t IL beyond human
power to describe him. Language IL
barren Of words by which to express the
glory and greatness Of God.
When asked for details, Bjorkstrom
again reiterated that his vocabulary
was inadequate. In size he said God
filed all space as far as eye could pene-
trate. He seemed to extend to the most
remote limit Of vision.
"How Is it that you cannot give
more definite explanation OF this won
derful sight?" Bjorkstrom was asked.
"Christ himself never did, Bjork'
strom replied, "and should not be ex'
pected to do more than Christ.
Then the man with the strange fancy
quoted Scripture:
"Eyes have they, but they see not
ears have they, but they hear not. i"
