Divorces Not SO Easy.

Although there were many more
than the usual number of divorce
cases at the present term of district
court. those who have been in a posi-
tion to observe the workings of the
court for some time say they noticed
decided chilliness on the part of the
| judges toward divorce applications
last Thursday and Friday, when the
divorce cases were tried.
Every case was examined with much
more than customary closeness, and
percentage of cases held up was much
larger than ever before. 1t is said
that this is because the judges be-
came somewhat alarmed at the very
noticeable increase in the number Of
divorce cases, and decided to require
the most conclusive evidence before
granting divorces.
The result was that while as yet no
divorces have been refused, a number
of the applications were taken under
advisemend under circumstances that
indicated strong doubt in the mind
of the court, and the prospects are
that a considerable proportion of the
applications that were taken under
Amusement will be refused.
A very prominent feature was the
part the judges took in the examina-
tion of witnesses. particularly OF the
compliments. These cases are al
most always undisputed, and as there
is no attorney for the defense there is
no cross-examinatiOn. The result IS
that il the court does not take hand
the carefully prepared stories of the
applicants 60 through easily. In this
case, however. the court in almost
every case gave the applicants search

The Virginia Fire Case.

Judge Dibell has granted the Moon
& Kerr Lumber company a new trial
in the case brought against it by Ole
Halvorson to recover damages for the
loss of his possessions in the Virginia
fire. This is one of the Virginia fire
cases, and when it was tried last
term it resulted in verdict awarding
Halvorson and full amount claimed.
The case was important, not only
because Of its own interest. but be-
cause it determined the liability for
t,.e fire that destroyed the business
portion of the city of Virginia, June
I, 1901. Several other cases of SINH
liar nature are pending. and if the
plaintiff wins out finally in this case
there are many others that will be
brought.
The case was heard by Judge Dibell.
and after the verdict for the plaintiff
was returned, the defendent made a
motion for a new trial. which was
argued some time ago, and which the
court took under advisement. The
motion was based on two grounds.
The first was that it was not justified
by the evidence and was contrary to
law, and the second was chat errors in
law occurred on the trial. Under the
new law by which motions for new
trials must specify the errors charged,
the motion included list of alleged
errors on the part of the court in rul-
ing against the views of the defend
ant.

Albany Strike Ended.

Albany, N. Y, May 2O.-The great
street railway strike, lasting IL days, re-
quiring the presence of 5000 members of
the National Guard in the city, costing
the lives of two prominent merchants and
entailing an expense to the county of
Albany of over $4,000, is amicably set
tied, and if the agreements are kept there
will be no trouble for three years at
least.
The calm which followed the killing OF
two inoffensive citizens two days ago by
National guardsmen was succeeded this
afternoon and evening by enthusiasm
when public bell towers and city news
papers proclaimed that the IL day strike
on the street railways of four cities had
been settled.
Flags flying from public and private
buildings, houses and wagons decorated
with bunting and the national emblem
citizens carrying small flags in their hands
and enthusiastic youths and otherwise
dignified citizens chasing after the cars
marked some of the earlier scenes of the
afternoon. The repair wagon left tbs
traction company's barn with its ole
union crew aboard, and going along
Pearl street, received an ovation. 1t was
decorated with flags and escorted by q
joyful crowd, very different from the
angry mob that had followed the cars
the last few days.

Fears Uncle Sam.

Berlin, May 2O.-The large amount of
space and attention which the German
press and public of every class have re-
Gently devoted to the United States re-
lations with Germany and Great Britain,
is remarkable. A year ago it was mainly
the agrarian press which Systematically
antagonized the United States in defense
OF agrarian products and political indu-
ence, but now the liberal and radical press
are slowly becoming convinced that the
United States is their keenest commercial
and industrial rival. This fact came out
strongly during the reichstag debates last
month and also in the diet.

TRADE REPORT.

New York.-Bradstreet's Report for
last week is as follows:
Aside from a quite perceptible in
! crease of the spirit of unrest in labor
circles there are few new changes to
record in the general trade or indus
trial situation. Business at present the
country over is of a seasonable recorder
character with wholesalers in dry
goods, clothing and similar lines, but
the volume of business is fair for the
season and collections are rapid like
wise. The basic facts underlying the
situation continue largely of favor
able character. Notable in this respect
is the crop situation, particularly for
the cereals, which is in high degree
promising. The backward spring and
lack of rains in some sections has mill
tated against the growth of cotton. but
improvement is noted even in this re-
spect. The industries are active. Iron
and steel are strong but quiet as re-
CARDS new demand for the new cruiser
forms, but the finished products have
been heavily ordered and the mills
have sufficient business to keep them
busy from one to three months, while
a large additional business is reported
in sight.
Foreign trade continues largely to
favor this country and the demand for
wheat to replace possible smaller yields
in European countries has swelled the
volume of export trade. which might
otherwise have fallen off from April a
year ago because of smaller shipments
of cotton and of manufactured goods.
Despite the talk of rate cutting and
of expectations of smaller movement
of goods as the spring advances, rail-
way earnings continue exceptionally
favorable, some great systems report
ing maximum weekly earnings. Prob
ably the best reports as to the new de-
mand come from the leather and allied
trades, while the poorest as heretofore
are received from the textile indus
tries.

To Protect American Legations.

Washington, May 20.-The instruc-
tons issued by General Chaffee under
direction of the war department in re-
gard to the protection of the American
legation at Pekin after the departure OF
the United States troops from China have
been made public at the department They
designate Company of the Ninth infan-
try as the legation guard and Major E
r. Robertson of that regiment is detailed
as commander.
Major. Robertson's attention is especial
ly invited to the fact that the troops
under his command are stationed in a
foreign country with which the United
States is on terms of friendship. The
guard must, therefore, not be used ag-
gressively unless in defense of the Ameri-
can legation or persons and property OF
American citizens in its immediate vicin-
ity. The guard will repel attacks made
by Chinese on the American legation or
its own position, and, if necessary to dc
so, may fire upon the assailants 1t may
cooperate with other troops for the de.
Tense of the legation in the event of at.
tack being made ON the same by any
Chinese forces.

A Brutal Murder

Connellsville, Pa, May 20.-Five thou
sand frantic white people surrounded
the fragile little lookup in the town hall.
Behind the cell bars were William
Fairfax and his wife, BLACK El,'' both
colored, who had just murdered William
Moore, assistant yardmaster in the Balti-
more & Ohio yards. Early this evening,
when the streets were crowded with the
Saturday night throngs, William Moore
and Baggagemaster Johnston of the Fair
mount branch train were attacked by the
negroes as they turned into an alleyway
from Main street going toward the rear
entrance to the Hotel Atlas. Moore was
struck with brick on the head and fell.
Quick as flash the negro Fairfax leaned
down over the PROSTATE victim, jerked his
watch from his pocket, took his money
from his clothing and then took the un-
conscious body in his arms and hurled it
over a. stone wall, a distance of 80 feet.
Moore was not dead when he was hurled
from the wall, but the fall broke his neck
and he died instantly.
The murder was right in the heart
of the city. When a crowd from Main
street pressed upon the negroes, they ran
down the alley, but the wife, throwing
stones and bricks, held the crowd until
three policemen rushed in upon her and
captured her and Fairfax little later.

Boise, Idaho, May 2O-James Scott,
employed at the Swan Fall power plant
of Snake river, has had most remark
able experience. Scott was asked by
Foreman Conway to go across the river
for some tools. Although Scott knew
nothing OF handling boat, he started
across. The boat went over the falls and
down into the water below, which is
churned into a froth by the fall. To the
surprise of all the boat, with Scott in it,
shot out from the boiling mass of water
and slid into treacherous eddy, where
it revolved with lightning rapidity.
AS quickly as possible a rope was
thrown to Scott and he was pulled ashore.
When the boat went over the falls and
into the seething mass below it plunged
headforemost at least Is feet. That Scott
was not thrown out and drowned is a
mystery.

Butte, May 20.-The general order

at Anaconda are receiving As cents
an hour, which is up to if not above
the scale asked. The machinists in
the smelters there are getting 81 a
day for eight hours work. They were
on strike recently and only went back
to work on those terms a few days
ago.
In Butte the foundry machinists got
raise of SO cents day for 10 hours
work a few months ago without hav-
ing to strike for it. The smelter ma
chinists here all get an eight hour
day for the same pay as they used
to get for 10 hours, except in the
Colorado and Butte & Boston smelt-
ers, where the entire force is out
pending an agreement as to allowing
outside labor the eight hour day pro-
vided for miners and smeltermen. The
machinists in these two works are
said to be willing to take nine hour
day
