LONDON. July 10.-The Baroness o
E~ckardstein received to-day a judicial
separation from the Baron and gained the
custody Of their child. The Baroness de-
sired a divorce, but this was impossible
in the English courts on account of the
domicile OF the Baron. who is a German.
A petition for divorce on his part is now
before the Berlin courts.
The Baroness is the daughter OF the late
Sir Blundell Maple, who was a millionaire
furniture dealer in London. h was a
pretty and vivacious young woman and he a
handsome but impoverished member Of an
old German family. They were married
eleven years ago at st. Adams. Eng

The journey to London was short, but the
bride left the railroad carriage in tears
on account Of an early display Of The bride

RICHMOND. Va. July I0.-It wasd sal in
financial circles to-day. that the Virginia
Railway. formerly the Tidewater and
Western. has passed out of the control Of
the Standard Oil Company and H. II. Rogers
and In now owned and controlled by a Phila-
delphia syndicate. This syndicate. it is
said, is not the United Gas Improvement
Company. which is a branch Of the Standard
Oil Company. but is an independent syndi-
cate Of capitalists organized for the pur-
pose Of taking over the Virginia road and
relieving the Standard Oil of the encum-
brance.
The plans Of construction will continue
as originally mapped out.
Il is also stated that the new purchasers
have determined to give the new line a
terminal in Richmond as well as an outlet
at tidewater. Plans for this step are now
already completed the i~nitiatory steps.
Indeed, the work has 30 far progressed
that H. H. Omahondra of Richmond has
beer busy for several days examining and
proving titles to the old coal pit railroad,
which runs from Manchester TO the mines
at Midlothian. This line is about thirteen
miles in length. When the Southern rail
way was built and operated IL passed Mid
lothian and killed the smaller line. Only
the roadbed remains.
The Virginia is also said to have recently
acquired the Tidewater and Western, for

BERLIN. July IO.-The DR.. Peters affair
has become n burning question OF party
politics and promises TO absorb for slong
m the attention Of Germany and to
awaken considerable interest elsewhere in
a similar way, IL in a less degree, than the
Dreyfus case. The recent trial az Munich
not only rechafed several old sores. but
awakened new n angry controversies.
DIR. Peters's supporters consist Of the
two Conservative parties and part OF the
National Liberal party. while he IL sssailed
by the remainder OF the National Liberals,
headed by the Cologne Gasette, the Centrists,
all h Radicals and the Socialists.
His principal advocates are among the
chauvinist organizations. such as the Navy
League. the Colonial Society and the Pan
German Federation. So much temper has
been imported into the controversy that
the rival daily work themselves into vio-
lent frenzies Of excitement over trifing
details. II 10 probable that three more
trials will now arise out Of the recent pro-
ceedings.
Peters himself and the defendant, Herr
Gnueber, editor OF the Munich Post, nav
both lodged appeals against the Munich
judgment. The Public Prosecutor has en-
tered suits against Herr Arendt and Gen.
Liebert. members Of the Reichstag, for
statements condemning the disciplinary
judgments passed On Peters when his con-
duct in Africa was first reviewed.
The Cologne Gazette. which itself is being
sued by Peters. now demands that the
full records of the disciplinary trials. which
a " never been given to the world. be
published. This is resisted by the Peters
party on the ground that It would prejudice
national interests. as Peters during his
travels was always more or less in conflict
with the official representatives Of Great
Britain. and publication Of the details of
the disputes would disturb national rela-
tionships.
IL il stated that the Kaiser is keenly
Interested in the controversy and has Or
dered that all papers relating to the affair
be laid before him.
The Munich Post repeated some time ago
statements made in the Reiohstag regard
ing alleged murders and oruelties to natives
committed when Peters was Governor Of
German East Africa. Peters sued the
newspaper for libel and the editor Of the
paper was condemned q few days ago
to paw a fine OF si2b or 60 to jail for fifty
days. He was further condemned to pay
the cost Of the proceedings.
The Court said that Peters while in Africa
had acted in accordance with what he be-
lieved TO be his rights as Imperial Com
missioner and carnsl motives played no part
in his sentences and executions.
