RALEIGH, n. C. Sept 4.-For a singular

months ago married a young woman of

from him and has been since a prisoner.
Massey was at the revival. Her parents
took her there. She attempted to go Is
her husband, but was by force prevented.
This was during the meeting at the church
and the sensational scene so annoyed the
minister that he said the meeting would
end if there was any more trouble Satur-
day ii was openly stated that the friends OF
the husband would by force take the wife
and restore her to her husband. The
church and the people are divided into two
factions by reason Of the trouble.
The court has been appealed to by Mas,
sey for possession of his wife, who was
taken from him in the very church in
y hich the ceremony had been performed.

NOME, Alaska, Aug 15.-The instaIla-
ton Of the new civil government in
Alaska has not been attended with success
in this part of the Territory. The advent
of the United States Court was eagerly
greeted in the big mining camp, and the
best elements in the population were con
fident that a desirable change was about
to begin. Property would soon be placed
beyond dispute, it was said, claim jump
ers would be brought to justice confusion
in titles would be disposed of, and the
preservation of law and oder would no
longer depend on the military arm of the
Government. After one week in office the
court was severely criticised and now, at
the end of three weeks, it is bitterly and
almost universally denounced.
The criticism began. on Tuesday, July 81,
when United States Commissioner Stevens
ruled that the strip of beach which for
merly constituted the Government rsser-.
walton or roadway was open to location as
regular mining land, and the rocker mez
and others who were working on the beach
were, therefore. trespassers. The general
opinion of the lawyers in Nome is that the
decision was in conformity with the new
law, but the beach miners naturally,
though unreasonabiy, resented the taking
away Of their means of livelihood. More
criticism of the civil authorities was
aroused when Judge Moves granted the pc
titioE of a wealthy mining company for
an injunction restraining holders of prop
erty on the rich Anvil Creek from operat-
ing their claims When the temporary re-
ownership in these cases was maze per-
manent yesterday, the act was roundly
condemned.
Late in July Judge Arthur P Moves re-
ceived q petition from Alexander Mcken-
Zie and others, contestiHg the right OF the
owners of nearly all the valuable claims
on Anvil Creek 10 hold the properties, and
praying that a receiver be appointed. The
contestant based the petition on the allie
gatjCn that the original locatOrs or these
claims were aliens and that, therefore. the
titles TO them are invalid The claims in
which the greatest interest centred are
those located in September. 1898. By Lind
bloom, Lindeberg. and Bryntesen. the dis
coverers Of gold in the Cape Nome region.
The petition was promptly granted, and a
great local excitement was produced
