WANTS DIVORCE.
MRS. ESTHER j. BUFFKIN
SEEKS SWEET RELEASE
From John, Late # This G ty, Now
Said to bs in Chicago-She AL
leges Cruelty and Inhuman
Treatment.

This morning John F. Robbins fled
complaint for Esther j. Buffkin VS..
John Buffkin, for divorce and custody
of their minor children. The com
plAint sats forth that in j January, 1883,
they were married, and dist t4.ssr = - :
together as husband and wife from
that time till last August, 1898, at
which time she was separated from
him, he going to Chicago ,deserting her t.
She alleges that he had been guilty
of cruel and inhuman treatment to her,
ard that he has ceased to provide in
anv way for her wants or for the
household. She alleges that he is at
this time a resident of Chiea go, Ill ,
and that she is making livelihood by
keeping boarding house here.
Buffkln is queer genu'. He II
was who had the sensational burglar
experiences here, and that had the
town aroused with his story of a mid
night attack by wouid-be assassin
who shot at him q half dozen times OF
so with a revolver, and at such close
range that nothing but miracle saved
him. He was subject to such sensa-
tional escapades. He departed from
this city about the time he was said il
the complaint to have deserted his
wife, and it is not thought he will ever
return to this city to reside.

PROSPECTS GOOD
For the Adoption OF the Nsw Merchant
Polios Alarm and Rsoord
System.

The prospects for the adoption of
the merchants police alarm and record
system are htttering. Nearly all the
merchants have signified their willing
ness TO take up the scheme. A few,
however. have chosen TO think the sys-
tenn sort of check on the po
lice force aud an imputation that
the force needs watching. This view
is entirely erroneous. Ga the con-
trary, it is a means of removing the
time worn and unjust stigma under
which the patrolmen have long rested.
The people will be surprised to look at
the record and learn how many times
the patrolman is in the proximity of his
beat throughout the night.
The greatest advantage. however, is
this: At night, after the stores are
closed, the policemen have no access
to a t. lephone, for the purpose of call
ing aid in handling a tough
customer or for calling
the fire department without
wasting precious time. Under the
new system an instantaneous alarm
would be sent in to police headquar-
tors or the fire department. from the
box at any business house. Precious
time for fire fighting could thus oe
saved, and bad prisoner c1uld oeca-
sionally be saved by getting patrol
wagon and an officer IN a hurry.

THE But TER MAN.
SILL MORE ABOUT THE

There Is a Cha~os at Last Of Getting
Him Homs to the Psnitsnilary.
Where He Undoubtedly Belongs
The Ohio Felix's May Come Afts'

There is still more information at
hand about the butter man, Williams,
or Mayfield, who!is in the county Jail
He swindled the man Chenoweth, of
| Glen Karn, O., just before coming
hither, and yesterdays paper told of
another victim. When arrested, aud
also over in OEio to his victims there,
no sho we'd certificates of patent ana
also showed patent rights issued and
signed by F. 7. Worth of CenterVille,
Iowa. He claimed patents issued to
Worth. and that he had got all the ter
rltory in the country, from Worth
The superintendent of police wrote to
the authorieies at Centerville, Iowa. or
rather 10 Wd.h direct. and this morn
ing the answer to his letter was re-
ceived The nias or real name, which
ever it is, of Mayfeld, was not used in
the letter to Iowa, but it seems that
the man who gave his name here as
Williams has real name and that it is
May field. The man Worth. of lowe,
writes and says that he never
had patent on any butter making
process. He says he got up something
of the kinosand that he attempted to
have it patented. b1t that letters patent
were refused. He went on to say that
any papers that the man here had on
him purpcrting TO be in any way au-
tnoriZed by him or showing that anv
patent had been issued to him WORTH
were forgeries. He earnestly and re-
peatedly denounced the man as fraud.
and declaring fraudulent any claim the
man may. have made to having any
papers at Ail from Wosth. This makes
the man guilty of forgery, as well rs of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
1perinteadent Page now believes that
the people from Ohi, may be persuaded
to come hither and take charge of the
man to prosecute on one of the two
charges. Mr.. Page naturally dislikes
to let sucL a man go, turn him loose on
the world. as it were, in spite of the
fact that 1e has committed no offense
in this state for which he could be
held.
Worth says he thinks the man Civ
ing his name as Williams is in reality
named May field, and that he is from
Missouri He adds, sententiously,
that if tis indeed Mayfield that is in
custody. he may be wanted quite a
number of places for various offences.
Therefore it appears that in taking
this man in and holding him partially
on suspicion and partially on a charge
of drunk, the police pulled a prize
package, and succeeded in taking in a
man who has been proving himself q
successful and dangerous confidence

Each for Selling to AL Gee

Peter Lennard of the north side. who

court this morning charged will selling
liquor on Sunday TO Albert Gee. He
was fined $40 and costs in each of two
cases. The fine was stayed. This
was was a piece of quick justice.
When Gee was arrested on Sunday he
had a notion not to tell where he got
his liquor or whether he got it on Sun
day at all. The truth was ferreted out
of him, however, and the arrest and
of Lennard followed within

 The stock Market.


 New York, Dec. 1.-To-day's stock market was largely influenced again by the state of the foreign money markets. Discount rates at foreign centers un- derwent a still further increase to-day and the accommodation of these de- mands by American capital was evil dent by the advance of 1S cent in the actual rate for sterling exchange at New York. The resumption of the pro- cess of loaning abroad promptly put stop to the demand for gold in London for export to the United States, engage ments already made being cancelled and subsistence of apprehension on this account in London resulted in consider able buying of stocks in the New York market for London account. The con- tinuance of stringent requirement for money in Berlin was still shown by the withdrawal of $1,48O,00O additional from the Bank of England for shipment to Germany. The weekly statement of the Bank of England and the Bank ot France revealed the fictitious charac- ter of the recent easing of money rates in London and in Paris. In the case of the former there is a loss of gold of nearly 4000,000 while the pressure upon the bank for loans on account of the rise in the private discount rate had resulted in an increase in other securi- ties of over SIS, 000 The Bank of France has lost $6S0,000 in gold and a somewhat larger amount in silver,while at the existing bank rate he outside market had borrowed $29, ,765, ,000 more than the loan account of a week ago. The revelation of so prevailing a finan- cial stringency in the worlds great money centers suggests liquidation of so drastic a character as to give nat ural pause to speculation in all mark cts. But though there was dullnesS in the standard stocks in New York prices were very firmly held, apparently on the condition that the money difficult ties abroad were in way to be worked out satisfactorily which is confirmed by the retention of the existing Bank of England rate. Meantime speculation turned into the channels of the indus trial specialties. There is a long list of these showing very material gains, but each was influenced by individual causes either real or fictitious. Sugar advanced on the belief that the regular dividend would be declared next week; Rubber on the reported demand for the product; Consolidated Gas on ru- mors of impending consolidation of gas interests; Linseed Oil on the report of a plan for reorganization and so on through the list. The strength in Con- soldated Gas seems to have sympa- thetic effect on gas stocks generally In the rairload list, while prices gen orally advanved, the number of stocks to show conspicuous strength was small It included Central and South l ern Pacific, giving color to reports oi ! apan of settlement of the government claims. Oregon Short Line, on the measure for absorption by Union Paci- fic and Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf and Chicago and Alton, gains ir the latter two cases not being retained however Louisville and Baltimore ant Ohio showed strength Net gains out side of the industrials are mostly frac- tional
