Boston, July 21.-Following close upon

Blaine comes the report that her SON.
James G. Elaine. jr., and his wife who

set in Washington, have separated.
+ Mrs: Blaine is now in Brattleboro, VT
with her parents, Rear Admiral and Mrs

gusta, Me, where he has been for some
days. Color is lent to the report by the
fact that the young woman has kept away
from Augusta since the return there of her
husband, nor has the young man been in
Brattleboro.
The report of trouble between the
Blaines is as unexpected as was the an
nouncement of their engagement. At that
time Blaine was q Divorce, his first wife

having secured divorce from him, later
marrying DIR. Bull, New York surgeon

The association first had it's rooms

JAMES sPANN WOUNDED.
Stabbed by Ernest Mathews While on
Kansas Avenue.

James c. Spann, pressman, was
stabbed and seriously wounded last
night about 10 o'clock by Ernest Math-
ews, a printer.
The fight was the result of drinking
and began in a joking way. Spann was
stabbed twice with a pocket knife, once
under the left arm, just over the heart,
and once in the breast He lost a guam
tity of blood before DR.. H. H. Keith
arrived and dressed the wound. He
was very weak when taken to Christ
hospital in an ambulance.
According to the story of eye wit
nesses. Mathews and Spann met in
front of Semple's cafe, at S13 Kansas
avenue, and Spann spoke to the printer
in a bantering way. A slight scuff1e
ensued, in which both men dropped
their hats, and when they separated a
large blood stain was visible on Spann'S
clothing. He did not seem to realize
that he was stabbed. and walked away,
but fell near the corner of Eighth and
Kansas avenue. and was helped up by
friend. He then walked into the Cap
ital press room and removed his coat
and imm edia tely fell from weakness. A
trail of blood led from the place where
the fight occurred to the alley.
Immediately after stabbing Spann.
Mathews put his knife in his pocket and
went south on Kansas avenue, no one
attempting to restrain him. A search
was made by the police, and officers
looked through. Mathews home at 1923
Kansas avenue. but he was not cap
tured. and is still at large. Mathews is
a printer who works at job offices
around town, and Spann was tempo
rarily filing the place of the assistant
pressman at the State Journal.
Spann is % years of age. and until
recently was a bareback rider with Sic
bert's circus. For this reason he was
sometimes known as Jimmie" Siebert.
Aside from the great loss of blood he
sustained, Spann is not dangerously
wounded, but it was reported today
from the hospital that he was very
weak.

POLICE JOTTINCS.
John Bender. Proprietor Con
Yicted in Police Court.
Evidence Was Rather Flimsy
but Passed Muster.
OFFICIAL POLICY DAY
Officers Try the Wheel With
Varying Luck.
Drawing for Places on Annual
Vacation Lii t.

John Bender proprietor of the Magnet
restaurant, was convicted in police court
Monday afternoon, after a two hour ses-
sion and a dozen or more witnesses had
been examined.
Bender was charged with keeping a
disorderly house. and his dishwasher
and two biscuit manipulators were
charged with being inmates thereof. 1t
is highly improbable that the case will
get into district court, on account of the
kind of testimony which was admitted.
The case is the result of a raid made by
Officer Hutton about q week ago when
joint raids were quite fashionable. Hut
ton went to the Magnet with a warrant
for keeping and maintaining a nuis-
ance-" He and his assistants made a
careful search of the place, and finding
nothing of an alcoholic nature, proceed
ed to grab every one in sight ION view. -
The fact that the place was pulled on
view will bar all testimony given as to
reputation of the place, and what the Of
ficers saw in the place when the arrest Is
were made will hardly convict the pris-
oners. Bender appealed his $50 fine, and
the other victims will follow suit if con-
Victed at their hearing Thursday morn
ing.

of having embezzled a bicycle, and on
said suspicion was convicted. He was
found with the goods on him. His fine
was ten bones net. with a tare weight
of four dollars and six bits costs.
But Estis didn't like to shovel in the
cuticle of mother earth on the North
side, so he performed an operation
known as the rapid transit, or getaway.
The police did not seek vigorously for
him, and he waxed bold. Aiming him
self with a homemade stiletto which
was raised from a rat-tail file, he sought
his old haunts, looked bad, and bid de-
| fiance to every care. 1t was while in a
Eliminating mood that Officer Charles
Smith sWooped down on him and broke
up his reverie of private grave yards
and bad records. This morning His
Honor remarked that Little Charles
might stay on the steingarten until his
term of office had expired, after which
the deadly weapon charge would be in
vestigated.
