Former Atlanta Girl Desires Release
From Convict Husband.
New York, April 14.-Mrs. Fayne
Moore, wife of William A. E. Moore,
who is serving a term of 19 years in
Sing Sing prison for extorting money
from Martin Mahon, the late proprie-
tor of the New Amsterdam hotel. by
means of the badger game" has
brought suit for an absolute divorce,
says the New York World. The ac-
ton has been commenced in South
Dakota, where the woman has been
living for six months.
The papers in the case were served
yesterday upon Moore in Sing Sing.
Mrs. Moore in her complaint charges
her husband with being a convicted
felon and with having failed to con-
tribute toward her support.
Moore has decided to fight his wife
in the courts. He says he does not
love her any more because, as he puts
it, "Fayne is cruel and heartless."
He says he has been told that she
wants to be free because she has a
chance to marry a wealthy English
nobleman, who has told her he will
make her his wife the day she obtains
the divorce, and then start with her on
a trip around the world.

DEATH OF DR.. TALMAGE.
Noted Divine Passes Away at His
Home In Washington.


Washington, April 14.-Rev. T. De-
Witt Talmage, the noted Presbyterian
divine, died at o'clock Saturday night
at his residence in this city. 1t had
been evident for some days that there
was no hope of recovery and the at
tending physicians so informed the
family. The patient gradually grew
weaker until life passed away 50 quiet
ly that even the members of the fam
lily, all of whom were watching at the
bedside, hardly knew that he had
gone. The immediate cause of death
was inflammation of the brain.
DR.. Talmage was in poor health
when he started away from Washing
ton for Mexico for vacation and rest
six weeks ago. He was then suffer.
ing from influenza and serious catar.
rhal conditions. Since his return to
Washington, some time ago, he had
been quite i'll. Until Thursday, how.
ever, fears for his death were not en-.

The letter adds that the newsl aptr- "had agreed to keep the matter quiet and the public know nuthi. g of it as yet" While we have l.tt e doubt that Moves. Wood, Geary and Frost are all in jail at this time, the above information seems to be at fault in several important particulars. For instance, we do not see how it would be possible for the newspapers to agree to keep the matter quiet, or what their o' : feet would be in so doing.

The officers at Fort Davis, it is said, object to the soldiers at the post taking part in the proposed athletic entertainment to be given by the Nome volunteer fire depart ment.

The only paper, so far as we know. that has spoken unkindly of the boys at Fort Davis or their officers is the NCGGET's' semi weekly con- temporary, one of whose editors seems to have it in for the Fort Davis people, for reasons best known perhaps to themselves and himself We may be permitted to say, however, that the Fort Davis officers are taking very contract ed view of the matter.
