Trouble in Russia.

A telegram fiom ST. Petersburg
says that the prospects of a general
upheaval OF the city and country with
the advent OF spring increases daily.
Evidence accumulates that the radi-
Cal forces are acting In unison and
awaiting signal which it is general
ly believed will he given shortly after
the Russian Easter. The terrorists
are showing great activity and re-
ports from all over the country prove
that the workmen, who in many cases
have been formulating petty demands
which are no sonner granted than
they are succeeded by others, are act
ing under instructions from the revolu-
tionary leaders who are only biding
their time. The employers frankly
admit that it is impossible to try to
continue their business and some Of
them have already shut down. The
people are plainly becoming panicky
and the authorities also cannot con-
ceal their unaSinesS.

at the inquest that Mrs. LaYnel had
been unhappy on account Of as fre

was nervous and excitable, and had
threatened to commit suicide. Both

PUTTING 1T STRONG.
A Lady's Pungent Remarks Abou.
Marriages and Divorce.

Miss Jeanette L. Glider, editor of
rhe Critic, places the morals of d.
vorce in this lucid manner before the
readers OF the New York Globe: ''An
honest man. does not repudiate his
business responsibilities nor refuse to
pay his gambling debts. Then why
should he be considered honest in re-
pudiating his domestic liabilities or
refusing TO pay a debt incurred In
the great lottery? 1t is not consid-
cred honest for woman to have chill
dren and no husband. Then why
should it be considered honest for o
woman to have children by two living
men? They cannot both be her hus-
bands. And surely the fact that
some words have been said by some
licensed Gflicer over one does not make
her more virtuous than the other, for
apparently they have not bound her
any tirmer. Neither does trip into
a complaisant state legaliZe these con-
nectiuns or alter the moral aspect Of
the case. These are perhaps ugly
facts to look in the face, but they
are none the less true, and IL the
sweetness and sacredness of American
homes are to be maintained the ugly
facts-of these progressive marriages
must be envisaged."

a Queer Case.

A rather queer case has been com
menced In Gr1envile. j. h. Mcintyre
has sworn out warrant for the ar
rest Of Charlie Schafer, whom he al
leges defrauded him to the amount OF
$40. The two men were before the
mayor several days ago charged with
disorderly conduct. They had per.
sonal difficulty and we're arrested. Nc.
Intyre says he paid Shafer $40 to keep
him from testifying to certain things
In the city court and 1t is alleged by
Mcintyre that Schafer did not carry
out his agreement and defrauded him
by giving damaging testimony. AS a
rebuttal to the warrant for defraud.
ing, Schafer Is out with a warrant
complaining and alleging that McIn.
tyre made an assault on him with a
deadly weapon, the same being named
In the warrant as 38 callibre revol
or. The case is set for trial on April
11th and counsel has been engaged by
both parties.

WANTED KNOT TIED TIGHT.
Married in South Carolina and Re
married in Georgia.

A dispatch from Aiken to The
State says the report that Mr.. and
Mrs.TW Woodbury. Kane were romarried
by Magistrate Bennett in Augusta
Friday created considerable surprise.
in Aiken In view OF the fact that the
parties were married in ST. Thaddeus
Episcopal church by the rector, Rev.
Il. w. Gift. On Monday, March 27
last, when Capt. Kane and Mrs. Elliott
we're married in Aiken this wedding
aroused considerable discussion, owing
to the fact that Mrs. Elliott has been
divorced and the laws Of South Caro-
lima are very stringent upon the sub
ject 1t Is said that Mr.. Cliff performed
the ceremony in the face of consider
able objection upon the part of some
OF his congregation.
1t is also said that some of the
ladies Of his church harassed him con.
siderably upon the matter, some
pleading with him Historically and
seeming to think that the church was
desscrated by such Ceremony. Mr..
Cliff Is an earnest man OF strong con.
victionS, and, as he knew that the
marriage at which he was to otficiate
was strictly sanctioned by the laws Of
his church and by the laws Of South
Carolina, and performed the ceremony
his congregation are now apparently
satisfied.
The second act, which occurred In
Augusta Friday was one totally uneX
pected in Aiken, and, as before stated
has created some surprise. There was
no apparent reason for second cere-
mony. Rev. 7. w. Gift was seen by
The State correspondents Friday night
and he seemed as much surprised as
every one else He had no statement
to make, ana all he would say was
that he knew no reason for it and
could not understand why the Augusta
ceremony was performed. The resi-
dence Of Capt. Kane was communicat.
ed with by telephone and reply,was
received stating that Capt. and Mrs
Kane were driving out and nothing
was known there Of second marri.
