MIR. AND. MRS. G. III. CUTLER RE-
UNITED AFTER THREE I1aARS'
SEPARATION
HUSBAND WENT TO KLoNDIKE
And the Wife Thinking He'd Not
Return, Got a Divorce, but
He Comes Back With
Wealth.

A very interesting wedding took place
in Court Commissioner Ga1licks Office
yesterday afternoon There is quite a lit
tie romance connected with it. The con-
tracing parties were George H. Cutler,
Of SFykonish county, Washington, and
Anna G. Cutler, Of Enid, Oklahoma ter
ritory.
1t was just thirteen years ago yester-
day when Mr.. Cutler, who was then g.,
railroad man, married his present wife
at Grednwcpd. N1eb.. the first time.
Things went along very smoothly for a
few years and their union was blessed
with two bright boys named Martin and
Charles. Some time after, however,
things began to go backward for the
happy family and Mr.. Cutler was unable
to get any work. They owned a little
farm Of 160 acres at Enid, Oklahoma, on
which they lived. Finally he went to
Montana to seek work and got a Job at
rallroad1ng and things began to look
brighter. While in Montana he met a
/ man from Boston, by the name of A. H.
Barber, who was going to Klondike and
wanted some sturdy Western man to go
with him Mr.. Cutler, who is a strong

accordingly sent his wife $500 and told
her he was going. This was in July.
1871, when the KlonGike craze was first
on. and they succeeded In getting fine

country
nat was the last heard of him bv

gan 10 get In hard circumstances and
were In danger of losing the little tract
OF land. As a last resort the wife went

MIN about It, He asked her IL she had
heard from her husband in the las -, sir
months and If he had sent her any
money. She told the Judge that she had
not, and he told her he would grant her
divorce, and that by getting this divorce
she could save the land She didn't like
TO do this, but as last resort she con-
sented.
All this time Mr. Cutler was in Klon-
uyke ana was striking some rich claims,
! one Of them which netted him and his
partner from Boston, S58,OOO last year
Last spring he started for home and ar
irving at Seattle on June 20 last, on the
steamer Garrone. He Immediately tele
graphed his divorced wife to meet him at
omaha, with the boys, which she did.
They came from there direct to st. Paul
aid We're married yesterday.
Notwithstanding the fact that it was
just thirteen years ago yesterday when
they were married the first time, they
are today the bappiest couple in St Paul.
Mrs. Cutler is a pretty little woman,

No ACTION LAST NIGHT
STREETS COMMITTEE DEFERRED
CONSIDERATION OF PETITION
TO VACATE LEVEH
CITY ATTORNEYS VIEW OF IT
Holds That City Has Title to Land
Wanted for Depot Trackage
Under Old Agree
ment.

The committee on streets last evening,
in session to take action on the subject Of
the vacation and transfer Of that por-
ton of the leyee north Of Sibley street
to the union depot company, after q
long discussion Of the subject, decided to
again postpone action until the next
meeting, July 80.
At the opening of the meeting the city
attorney read the ordinance relating to
the granting to the railroad companies OF
the land in the vicinity of the levee, and
some of the history of the transactions
by which certain portions of the streets
In the immediate vicinity were vacated
were also recited.
Following is the position of the city at
torney, as given to the G b @ reporter:
1t has been determined, In the litigation
between the city and the Milwaukee COM
pany, that the city owns the fee to that
portion of the leYee between Stbley street
and the east line Of WacOuta street. The
depot company has no title beyond the
south line Of block %, st. Paul proper.
So that IL the city did vacate the title
would not pass to the union depot COM
pany without a deed from the city In
1880 the common council passed an or
dinance granting to the depot company
the right to construct four tracks oyer
the levee south of the depot grounds
One of the conditions of this ordinance
was that the city should have the right
to grant to any railroad company enter
ing the city the right to construct and
maintain tracks across the levee. The
depot company accepted this ordinance,
and therefore it Is not in position to OBJ
ject to the city granting other companies
trackage rights. That is, 1t cannot in
sist that this would be a diversion Of
the purposes for which the levee was
dedicated.
This ordinance and its acceptance add
materially, 1 think. to the rights Of the
city in this property. agree with the
suggestion OF Mr.. Murray, Of the cham
Der of commerce, that the city ought
to ask for the consent Of the secretary
Of war for the extension of the levee
50 to 100 feet into the river. Then we
will be in a position to treat with the
depot company and the Milwaukee rail-
road.

SPECIAL REVENUE TAX.
Aug. LIS the Last Day for Pay

escape the penalty provided by law. This
law applies to brewers, liquor dealers,
bankers, brokers, pawnbrokers, CONNER
cial brokers, proprietors of shows and

Up to last night there's had been about
$500 special revenue stamps sold This
is about the same amount as was sold
up to Aug. 1 last1 year The penalty
for failure to pay this special revenue
is 80 per cent Of othe tax. The local
revenue authorities do5snot think that
there will be over 5OoatHat will have to
pay a penalty, and as they arc liable
to Imprisonment besides the fine, 1t is
not likely that there Yillsbe that many.
