Her Honor Vindicated.

There was very interesting habeas corpus case before county Judge Folbre last Friday afternoon. The particulars in the case are as as follows:
 IL was about the year 1900 when Mrs. Bob Hardin, secured decree of divorce from her husband in the courts of Mem phis, Tenn, the Judge awarding Mrs Hardin the custody of her daughter. then ctiId about year old. and the father retaining the other child, a boy.
 Mrs. Hardin came back to Arkansas, but failed to secure copy Of the decree Time rolled around and the couple made up their disagreement, and lived together, thinking that the divorce had not been granted. The reconciliation was not per manent, however, the parties again sepa- rating, and Mrs. Hardin retaining the custody Of both children. Mrs. Hardin returned from the West later, and has been living at Wheatley.
 On last Friday, through her attorney Mir $. H. Mann, she sued for the custody of her daughter, presenting the decree of the Tennessee Court, as evidence of their legal separation.
 MT. w J Lanier was the attorney for Mir Hardin. Many witnesses were ex- amined, and efforts were made to smirch the character of the woman, saying that she visited Memphis frequently. But Mrs. Hardin had letters from the Matron of the Young Womens' Boarding Home where she boarded. testifying to her good charac- ter.
 The case created some little excitement. Judge Folbre sustained the decision of the Memphis courts, and awarded the custody of the girl to the mother, with the understanding that the child was to visit her father at least twice year

 if one of the children in the building did not happen to wake at an oppor- tune time and spread the alarm thought he would do little cleaning
 four story block with stores on the first floor. On the night in question "a
 tenement on the second floor was empty so the owner of the block thought he would do little cleanng and fumigate the rent which had just been made vacant Accordingly he locked all the windows and doors tightly and set sulphur on fire. After doing this he plugged the keyholes and went to his home on Laurel street. Ths happened about II p. m. About l o'clock one of the Burns children, who live on the floor above, was awakened and found the house full of smoke. He thought the place was on fire and went to wake his parents. They were partly overcome by the sulphuric fumes, but after getting some fresh air were somewhat better. One of the occupants of the building then went looking for the landlord, but first met Officer Dunphy, who immedi- ately went to the house, where he found two of the persons in a serious condition. He summoned Dr McLar- ney, who resides nearby. The doctor after working some time brought all of the tenants out of danger. Mean while Officers Dunphy and Cutting had gone to McCarthy's home. procured from him the keys and hasteBad, IIaeE to the block. They unlocked the doors and the smoke from the rooms came out in volumes. The policemen en- tered and opened all the windows. After some time most of the suff0cat- ing smoke had disappeared and the in- mates were able to go back to bed.

THIRD WARD CLUB
Republicans VIII Tale Steps to Fix
 Up Caps in Fence.

The Third Ward Republican club held meeting last night and listened to addresses by Judge cowell, Colonel Geddes, John Blair, Comptroller Good rich, President Goodrich of the Fourth Ward Republican club and others. At the opening of the session all were in I happy frame of mind, but after Judge Cowell closed his remarks Mar shall B. Wilder, the great American humorist, could not win q smile from one of them. Judge Cowell was frank and made no bones of stating that the spirit of Independence is abroad in the land, and thousands who Hitherto clung to party principles are Joining it's ranks. He said that the state is in great danger of being captured by the democrats at the next election. and to put the climax on 1t he informed tllc meeting that a lifelong member of the g. 0. p. told him the other day that it was extremely doubtful if republi- can president could be elected next time The speaker wanted every man to die game. to be picked up behind their guns, if at all. and said that the only hope lie saw of holding the ship was in concerted action and putting the best material available to the front.
 The club fellows were deeply touched by Judge Cowell's address and when he sat down each looked at the man next to him, but not word was spoken and it was some time before the chairman could summon up suf ficient courage to call upon the next speaker.

Defense of Cadet Merfwether at the
 Court Martial Ask For-Autopsy.
 ANNAPOLIS. Md, Nov. 25.-The no table incident in the court martial of Midshipman Minor Meriwether, Jr, for manslaughter and other offenses con nected with the death of Midshipman James R. Branch, Jr., which occurred after prearranged fist fight between the two, was the determination of the court to accede to the request of coun- sel for the defense and request the sec retary of the navy to order the exhu- nation of the body of Branch and the performance of an autopsy.
 This request was made after Judge Advocate Mark had notified the court that the case of the prosecution had closed.
 The testimony of the medical experts has indicated strongly that a most un- fortunate mistake was made when Branch's body was buried in the naval cemetery. opposite Annapolis, without the performance of an autopsy. This was explained by the fact that Branch's father. Colonel James R. Branch of the Hanover bank. New York, had refused his consent.
 One of the most remarkable incidents in the history of naval court martIaIs in this country marked the sessiof of the court when Rear Admiral Alexan- der H. Mccormick, next in point of rank of the members of the court to Admiral Ramsay. it's president. was by Judge Advocate Mark after the whole testimony for the prose eution had been submitted. a proceed ing which the judge advocate said had never been taken by him in all his years af previous experience and of which he had never heard.
