TAGgART DIVORCE SUIT
PLAINTIFF SAYS HE TRIED TO
FORGET EXPERIENCES.

In the Taggart divorce trial. at Wooster.
Ohio, yesterday the cross-examination OF
the plaintiff Maj. Taggart. was continued.
1t bore upon the alleged cocktail and gen.
eral tipping habit Of Mrs. Taggart.
When you saw this little woman going
to the bad because of drinking" asked Mr..
Smyser. Mrs. Taggart's lawyer. why didn't
you kick every bottle of liquor and every
ingredient of a cocktail out of the house?'
Because" answered Maj Taggart, II
thought there were other ways of accom-
plishing the same results
The cross-examination was interspersed
with repartee on the part of Mr.. Smyser
and the witness. in which the latter sue
ceeded several times In flooring the lawyer.
while Mr. Smyser drew some admissions
from the witness that were adverse to his
case He admitted that Mrs. Taggart did
play the organ for Chaplain Springer at
Fort Thomas at Sunday service. while he
remained at home to care for the children
He stated that his drinking habits at Fort
Leavenworth were worse than they had
always been. He stuck to 1t that he never
drank to excess.
No Capacity for Beer.
MY capacity for beer he said. rs SO
small that I could not drink enough to
make me drunk. 1 never tested my capac-
ity for drinking whisky or cocktails. The
first time 1 ever knew Mrs. Taggart to tell
me a lie" he continued, was at Manila
the night she was out with Capt. Bash.
There was one difference that always ex-
listed between us from the time we lived at
Fort Thomas until our final separation at
Fort Leavenworth, and that was Mrs. Tag
CARTS associates Our differences In re-
gard to the beer-drinking contests l had
tried to forgive and forget by the time
was at Manila.
The witness testified to seeing his wife
and Lieut.. Fortesaue coming from the cell
lar one night and ordering the lieutenant
from the house.
In regard to his detail to Fort Thomas.
Mr. Smyser tried to wiring from the wit
ness a confession that 1t at his solicit
tation that Mrs. Taggart went to Washing
ton, and through her influence with Con-
gressmen Norton and Cromwell and Sena-
tor Foraker obtained interviews With Pres
ident Mckinley and Secretary of War AL
ger to prevent the detail. but the witness
said that the trip to Washington was not
made at his suggestion but on her own
initiative. as she did not want to go to
Fort Thomas.

police scented today what they believe to be another case of concealment. Early today two policemen found in the street bundle of clothing which upon examination by Surgeon Blum of the Marine Hospital Service was found to be stained with black voniit The bun dle was discovered in Gallatin Street and during the day a large number of houses in the vicinity were invaded in the hope of turning up concealed pa tient.
 An afidavit against Surgeon Rufus Blue of the Marine Hospital Service was the sequel today of the fumigating raid several days ago in South Dupre Street. There was hidden source of infection there, said to be responsible for many cases of fever. and the au- thorities finally decided that if was in the residence of J. J. Lawler. super interdent of cotton seed manufac- turing company. During the absence of the family the house was broken in to and thoroughly disinfected. MT. Lawler was indignant and says consid- erable damage was done to his effects. Today he swore out an afndavit against pr. Blue for malicious mischief.
 Quarantine news today was gener- ally of favorable character. more com munities showing a disposition to abol- ish or modify their regulations within the next ten days or two weeks. Dr. White believes that if spell of cold together improbable. the sentiment in favor of restoring intercourse will grow rapidly.
 Communications Reopened.
 Plaauines Parish, below the city. which has had an irksome quarantine, las practically reopened cornmunica- ton and removed the bars against the extensive oyster trafic between that parish aand New Orleans. It was an nounced today that oyster Iuggers. with the privilege of carrying passengers who are citizens of Plaquemines. could come and go in daylight.
 On his recent trip Dr. White looked into the situation at Patterson, which Is perhaps the point in the State out side of New Orleans that Is worst in fected. He considers conditions there that there has not been hearty coop eration with the authorities on the basis of the mosquito theory, and has about decided to offer to, the State Board one of his surgeons to go to that town and take full charge.
 Interest Is growing in the visit of the President and the attendance from other parts of the State promises to be large Even If quarantines are not lift ed. planters, merchants and profession al men who have been kept away from the city will take advantage of the op- portunity to come here and participate in the reception and at the sa. me time transact business which they have had to postpone. expecting that practically all the quarantines will be raised early in November and that they will then be able to return to their homes In the event that the Presidents mind is made up not to prolong his visit beyond o'clock on the evening of the 26th, an afternoon lunch is to be substituted for the banquet which was being planned.

PENSACOLA REPORT.
Eighteen New Cases and Three Deaths
 the Oayss Record

Pensacola, Fla, Oct. .5.-The official fever summary today Is as follows:
 New cases, 1S;. total to date, 203. deaths, 8; total to date, 35; cases dis charged to date, IS; cases under treat ment, 90.
 The somewhat increased number of new cases is accounted for partly by the fact that following the bad weather of several days the physicians have been able to losate and diagnose cases that were not reported in the early stages Another cause Is believed to be the fact that the people who at first opposed the efforts of the health au- thorities are now realizing the serious ness of the situation and are giving soms aid in reporting new cases. One of the deaths today was that of a sea man on the German ship Kaiser, mak- ing a total of three deaths from that ship out of nine fever cases aboard.
 Two patients who are being held un- der observation as possible fever cases, but whose llln sss will not be diagnosed until tomorrow. are British Vice Con sul Frederick Bonar and his wife.

Hard Words for witte.

St. Petersburg. Oct. 5.--A strong sem timent against Count Witte developed at a caucus of the St. Petersburg mu- nicipality yesterday evening. called to discuss civic action in recognition of his services at Portsmouth. Sugges- tions that banquet be given in his honor and that he be presented with the freedom of the city or an address were rejected and a resolution was adopted declaring he Is not worthy of any special honor because his services at Portsmouth "were only redeeming sacrifice for the political mistakes in which he has acquiesced and which were responsible for the war"
 The first act of the ministerial com mittee the sessions of which have been resumed with Count Witte's return, has been a nimportant concession on the language question permitting the com mercial schools at Warsaw, Riga and Reval to use Polish or German as the language of instruction in all studies except Russian grammar. history and geography.

Delano was elected at his successor. Eight directors including MT. Ramsey were present at the meeting. MT. Ramsey has been engaged in a contest with MT. Gould for the control of the road.
 Mir. Ramsey after the meeting said his removal was entirely illegal for the reason that the meeting was not properly called. He made a protest be- fore the board. saying that the laws required five days notice for a special meeting of the board. and that the mo- tices for this meeting were mailed only Wednesday night. His protest was overruled, however.
 President DeLano took charge of his offlce at once.
 MT. Ramsey and have always been friends hitherto in the railroad busi- ness." said he. and I do not want to come into this controversy in any way.
 AS to Mir Ramsey's charge about the illegality of the meeting I can say nothing. I am not lawyer. But sev- eral lawyers on the board were at this meeting and presume that they would not attempt anything Illegal. It was generally understood that this was an adjourned nesting"

Death Before Resignasion.

New York, Oct. 5.-President Me- Cali of the New York Life Insurance Company was asked yesterday what action his company would take in re- lation to the refusal of the insurance commissioner of Nevada to allow it to do business there.
 We will fight to the death," he re- piled.
 By what means" he was asked
 By injunction. We can beat that order by proper legal proceedings"
 Mir. Mccall was asked If he had heard from the insurance commissioner of Colorado. who. Tuesday. was quoted as saying that if Mir Mccall and Mir. Perkins did not get out of the New York Life. and President McCurdy out of the Mutual Life. licenses for those companies to do business in Colorado would be refused.
 T have not heard word from Colo rado." said President Mccall. but that Nevada chap sent me his notice in a telegram which had $6.4o charges to be collected on it."
 Did you pay it?' a reporter asked.
 T did not" said President Mccall T sent the telegram back to him" U

 McCurdy,s C0mnaaasfons.

During the period of his connection with the firm of c. H. Raymond and his own testimony. was receiving his the Mutual Life Insurance Company, written by his firm as the Metropoli- tan agents. This sum MT. McCurdy was unable to give any estimate upon. and later in the day when Mir. Ray mond was called 1t was brought out that these profits to MT. McCurdy amounted to $541.s52 net. or after his share of the expenses of the firms bus mess had been deducted. This made . total of $1.705.sS1 that Mir. McCurdy re- ceived in commissions.
 In 1893. when MT. McCurdy retired from the firm of c. H.. Raymond and Company. he was succeeded by Louis A. Thebaud. son-in-law of President RichSrd A. McCurdy of the Mutual Life Insurance Company. He was practically under the same contract as Robert McCurdy and from 1893 to 1904 he received in commissions on first premiums and renewals the sum of Ss20,113. All these amounts were in addition to salaries paid MT. McCurdy and Mir. Thebaud.
 Charles H. Raymond ,who was called to the stand to supply the figures of profits that MT. McCurdy was unable to produce. occupied the stand for the re- mainder of the session. He was ex- amined as to the scope and territory of his business. and the amount of commissions he received from the Mu- tua1 Life, as we'll as the amount his firm paid substitute agents, was close- ly inquired into. MT. Raymond's ex- animation was not finished when the committee adjourned for the day.
 Erwin l.. Devlin. the real estate manager for the New York Life Insu- rance Company, was the first witness today, having been called to conclude his testimony interrupted by the ad- journment. Mir. Devlin presented statements as to the real estate hold ings of his company in several wes- tern cities. These showed that but from one to about per cent was real ized last year on the company's invest ment in buildings. but he added that 1t was expected that per cent would be realized this year.

 Mir Comer wanted to tell of the trouble he had when he was trying to get some railroad legislation into the constitution. He said that every mem Der of the Corporation Committee was opposed to it with the exception of Lee Long and Colonel Murfee.
 "A railroad attorney can not make a good legislator" declared Mir. Conner Now l have a brother who is a rail road attorney. and he Is a good fellow too.
