DIVORCE IN TURKEY.
Nothing Could Be Easier Than Unity
ing the Knot in That Country.

From the London Telegraph
Divorce is very easy in Turkey and
does not require a judge and jury to
settle ma .ters. All that is necessary Is
for the injured party to say, II divorce
you' three times, and the deed is done.
The husband has to make the wife a
proper allowance, and all is over. Two
cases have recently occurred which are
rather amusing. A certain Turkish
gentleman is keen amateur gardener,
and his garden contains at all seasons
a brilliant show of flowers, to which he
devoted most of his time, rather to the
disgust of his wife. who is never al
lowed to cut them. Last month his
crysanthemums were in the height of
their glory, when a tremendous down
pour of rain came on.
This threatened to destroy the mag
niltcent blooms. many of which were
equal in size to the best results at
tanned in England. Seeing the danger
the gentleman called all his servants
and set to work to carry the pots into
the house and arrange them up both
sides of the staircase. When they had
finished the lady suddenly appeared
and fell into a violent rage, declaring
that her husband thought more of his
flowers than he did of her, and that he
insulted her by bringing earth into the
house. In vain he explained that in all
best European houses flowers in pots
We're the proper thing. Nothing would
appease her: she said he was defiling
her house by bringing dirt in and she
would divorce him. She sent for her
sister to come and be "A witness of the

a dramatic scene was witnessed last
night In Magistrate Elders court room
In North Scranton, when John Argentis
young Italian. arrested on the charge
OF following young girls, with alleged
criminal intent was positively identi-
lied by Anna Hewitt as the murderer
of Harry Frederick, who was shot on
December 26.
Argentis was arrested late Wednes-

on North Main avenue. The patrolman
had noticed Argents and another Ital-
ian following two girls. near Wood
street. and finally saw the latter break
into a run. The two Italians started to
run also, and Patrolman Ross took a
hand in it himself then.
one of the men ran down side street
at Bulls Head, while Argentis made a
bolt for Cerine's hotel. The patrolman
Followed him in, and placed him under
arrest. When arraigned before Magis-

held for further hearing last night
Lieutenant Palmer had a lurking sus-
picion that he might be the man who
shot Frederick in Alice Williams house.
and he determined to bring Anna Hew-
litt. the young girl who witnessed the
affair, down to the hearing. He eau
toned her beforehand to carefully scru-
tlnize the prisoners face and also the
faces of the other Italians who might
gather at the hearing.
The girl had no sooner reached the
magistrates office and taken one look
at Argentis, when she stepped back
and, pointing her finger at him, said:
That's the man, Lieutenant Palmer.
who shot my Harry. That's the man
who killed Harry Frederick, and who
nearly choked me to death. I'd know
him out of a thousand"
Argentis turned deathly pale and ner-
vously wiped off the perspiration. which
gathered in great beads on his fore
head.
II no kill. I no kill. I don't know

The girl was placed under oath and
upon her swearing that Argentis was
the man, the latter was arrested on the
charge of murder and was committed
to the county Jail without bail. He was
taken to the central police station,
where he spent last night. He is rather
a good-looking fellow, about % years
old. and lives on Jones street.
The other Italian. who was arrested
yesterday on warrant, was fined $40

CLARK GOES HOME.
Business Mems Committee, It Is
Said, Has Thrown Up the
Sponge-A Car Attacked.

There was no end of effort yesterday
toward settling the street car strike
but it all came to naugnt.
The business mems committee had a
meeting in the morning; in the early
afternoon it had communication with
the strikers and a lot of local labor
leaders, and late in the afternoon an-
other session was had with President
Clark, who was halted as he was about
to leave for Philadelphia. The mem
bers of the committee could not be in
duced to discuss their transactions but
very broad hints were given out that
they had about exhausted the possi-
bilities without accomplishing anything
definite. In fact, it was stated on re-
liable authority that the business mems
committee had given up their task as
hopeless one.
President Clark, it Is said, told the
committee that he Was done with the
strikers when his last proposition was
rejected. He remained in town, he
said, to attend to business altogether
foreign to the strike. He made ad-
Vances for a settlement and they We're
rejected without the usual formality of
a counter proposition.
That left him helpless to do any
thing even if he was so disposed, and
it is understood he had no disposition
whatever to do anything more than he
had already done. He will be back in
Philadelphia today.
Last night, for the first time in many
days, there was an outbreak of vio-
lence. The company began running

The last car, which left the city at 10
O'Clock, was returning along Pittston
avenue. and at the southern end of the
Roaring Brook bridge encountered a
fuslade of stones from crowd that
had been gathering from the time the
car first went out.

CARRIE rs FoRGIvING.
Doesn't Want to Prosecute Men Who
Put Her Eve Out,

Carrie Fisher, the colored woman
whose eve was gouged out with a
stone in a Raymond alley fight some
months ago. is a most forgiving per-
son. The police arrested four colored
men for being concerned in the as
sault upon her. but when the cases
came before the grand jury, Carrie
was nowhere to be found.
1t was learned that she had left
town, in order that the cases against
the four men could not come to trial.
She was brought before Magistrate
Howe yesterday and held under $500
bonds for her appearance before the
next grand jury. The injury has ter.
ribly deformed her face, but she de-
clared vehemently that she doesn't
want to prosecute her assaiants.

Still in Eruption.

FORT DE FRANCE, June 6.-Mont
Pelee is still in violent eruption. This
morning an enormous column Of black
smoke rose from the volcano to a height
estimated at four miles, and then spread
rapidly into mushroom-shapedc cloud
which appeared to have a diameter Of
forty miles The spectacle was most I'M
pressive. but there were no detonat1ons
No electrical display and no showers
of ashes Fort de France has been shroud-
ed in intense gloom like that which ac-
companied total eclipse of the sun.
The most notable phenomenon to-day
was that the sea rose nearly three feet.
then fell back to below it's normal and
then returned to its normal level. The
cause of this rise and fall of the sea
is inexplicable. The eruption to-day was
absolutely not accompanied by earth
ouakes. The sky is now clear, but a heavy
surf is beating on the coast.
s No reports of damage have been re-
ceiyed. It is probable that the area OF
the activity and destruction is the same
as that of previous outburst This area
is now completely abandoned.
Professor Angelo Heilprins, president
of the Philadelphia Geographical Society,
and George KEENAN, noticed a great out
burst Of yellow vapor from the volcano
yesterday when they We're at LIE $Prech-
eur. These outbursts seem to be posi-
tive precursors of severe erupt!ons
The explosion of this morning was eS-
uected and watched for. There was. con-
seuuently, little panic among the people
here and quiet was soon restored.
