SUES FOR DIVORCE.
MIR. Clifford Perrin Institutes Action
In Washington.

MIR. Clifford Perrin Institutes Action
In Washington.
Washington, Dec. 2.-Gossips in
Washington have for time been ex-
pecting the announcement of the suit
for divorce filed in the court by Cliff
ford Perrin of Cincinnati against his
wife, who resides in this city She
was formerly Miss Mae Claggett,
daughter of the late William IT. Clag-
get, a highly esteemed and wealthy
business man of Washington, who
died about ten years ago.
The basis of the suit is alleged in
compatibility and refusal of the de-
PENDANT to live with the plaintiff
Miss Claggett was one of the. beauti
full girls of Washington, and IS today
an extremely handsome woman who
would attract attention anywhere.
She has been married to Mr.. Perrin
about seven years, but with the eX-
ception of very brief period after
marriage, it is said the couple have
seen little or nothing of each other
They have little daughter
Margaret, 6 years of age. Mrs. Perrin
and her child live with Mrs. Perrin S
mother at Sixteenth street. Mrs.
Perrin, since her marriage, has mostly
spent her summers at Narragansett
Pier, where she was we'll known to
the habitues of that resort from Balti-
more, st. Louis and other cities. and
was very popular with them. For a
while she was very fond of the wheel
and spent much time in spinning
along on the fine roads at Narragan
sett. She is yet quite a young Wo-
man. Not long after her debut she
met Mr. Whiting, of Newport, a wild
over and a rich man. She became
engaged to him. the time was set for
the wedding, a number of entertain
ments were given by the respective
friends of the two and the cxpectant
groom made his fance many hand
some and costly presents of diamonds
and pearls.
In the meantime Mr.. Perrin appeared
on the scene and also made magnifi-
cent presents. The lady, it is alleged,
grew cold, and upon several occasions
went into Mysteries. Mr.. Whiting
naturally did not like the changed
conditions, and after a while he quiet
ly disappeared and did not come back
to Washington. In short time a
new engagement was announced. and
on the night of October 81, 1893, Miss
Claggett became Mrs. Perrin. The
honeymoon was scarcely over before
rumors of incompatibility spread
through the social circles of Gin
cinEati and Washington, and, as said
above, the two were not seen together,
nor have they been, for five or six
years. Mr.. Perrin inherited large
means from his father. and his mother
is said now to be the wealChiest widow
in Cincinnati. He owns yachts and
horses and all that kind of thing. It
is said there have been some prelimin-
airy negotiations between the two par
ties before the filing of the suit; that
Mr.. Perrin was willing to make a
liberal allowance on account Of his
child, but Mrs. Perrin demanded a sum
which he and his lawyers thought to
be unreasonable.

boy were killed and thirteen persons
injured by an explosion of the boiler
in the power house of the Chicago &
railroad last evening.
Several of the injured may die.
The dead:-
AUGUST CLAMMAN, section
foreman; crushed by falling
walls while standing near the
power house.
ANTHONY KRAUSE, fireman at
the power house; internally in
juerd, died on way to hospital.
AUGUST WEISS, section hand;
struck by the boiler.
JOSEPH SPECHT, section hand;
caught under the boiler.
HENRY SCHNUR, Is, clerk in the
the auditing Office; neck broken
by flying debris while walking
past the power house.
The injured
John Butterworth, chief electri-
clan of the power house; skall
fractured, will probably die.
Anthony Krause, badly scalded;
probably die.
August Beck, Milwaukee.
Mrs. August Beck, Milwaukee.
William Becker, Sheboygan, Sc
verely.
Mrs. Ethel Becker. Sheboygan.
Michael McGregor, may die.
Joseph Kovelski.
George ellis.
John Brown.
Carl Peters.
August HoltZ.
Eugene Gingrich.
The power house was a two-story
structure which stood west Of the pas
senger station and north Of the tracks
leading into it. On the first floor was
the boiler room, containing battery
four boilers and the dynamo room,
which held nine dynamos. Four of
those killed were people not employed
by the road. All four bodies were
taken to the morgue unidentified.
It is not known what caused the ex-
olosion. At few minutes past 5 one
Of the boilers in the center row of
four burst with a defamation plainly
heard a mile distant. The end of the
boiler nearest the tracks landed 70
feet away from the starting point.
The boiler itself, which weighed ten
ions, lies so feet from the boiler
house. Just as the explosion occurred
the Ashland limited train was pulling
out of the station. The greater part
Of the train had passed. Although
the cars were all heavily battered
with falling brick and debris, none was
badly damaged. The last two cars,
however, a Pullman sleeper and
drawing room car, were not SO fortu-
nate. The boiler struck the car in
the rear, while the boiler head
ploughed through the one Immediately
in front. But few passengers hap
pened at the time to be in the ends
and such of them as were hurt were
struck by flying splinters or suffered
from being thrown violently to the
floor. On the train were Mr.. and
Mrs. August Beck of Milwaukee and
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Becker, Sheboy-
gan. Both couples were returning
from bridal tours and all four were
injured. Mrs. Becker was dashed
against seat in the car and sustained
injuries which may prove
fatal. Neither of the cars was thrown
from the track and the train ran some
distance before coming to stop.
Traffic, however, was interrupted for
several hours. The property loss to
the road will not be far from 100000.
The boiler house was practically de-
molished and the costly electric plant
was nearly torn to pieces.

The Only Way In Which the State
Department Can Secure the
Release OF Enuineer Turner.

contained an account of the death in a
Mexican prison of an American en-
gineer named Turner.
Now the state department Is moving
for the release of Turner, as shown
from the Washington dispatch which
follows. The poor fellow is beyond
the reach of the red tape of the state
department, though.
"Urgent represen tations have been
made to the state department in be-
half of two American engineers, Turn
err and Clark, said to be from Leon,
Kan, who were thrown into Mexican
prisons by the authorities of that coun-

been under their charge.
"The men, 1t is alleged, have been in
prison for some months, notwithstand-
ing the efforts of the American repres-
entatives in Mexico to have them re-
leased. It is explained by an official OF
the department that the regula lions OF
the Mexican government respecting
engineers are very rigid. They are
held to strict accountability for acct
dents, amounting in some instances to
charges of manslaughter.

and when she was excused, Momsen &
Thorue opened their defense by put
ting on the stand William Roller, a
plum Der in their employ, who did the
work in that line at the Cohen house.
He testified that he was sent by them
to the house with orders to put in q

morning and repeated portion of
his testimony of yesterday. He

Attorney Davis that so far as he was
ever aware his sight had been perfect
