Herberger, ip which a deeree of divorce was made In 1572, ‘The facts in the case are that Mrs. Herberger, the widow of Chaplatn Herberger, of the regu: lar army, married a Mr. Charles Raabe in sé. Her pension, of course, lapsed with her second marriage, which, not turning out happily, in 1si2 she ‘sued for divorce on the grounds of cruelty and desertion. The divorce was granted and she was left helpless and without means, except what little Herberger had bequeathed to thelr children, whose guardian she was. Mat- ters went along very badly for about five years, when to her surprise and delight she learned that Raabe had a wife living when she had mar- ried bim. He was a German by birth, and root was procured that he came to this coun- ry With a woman he called his wife, and that When he joined the army he was given ar ried juarters, in which she lived with bim as bis wife. Since the marriage had occur- red in Germany, if there had been any, thus making the marriage papers inaccessible for ccurt purposes here, the above proof was deemed sufictent upon which to ask for an | ! #bLulment of the marriage with Mrs. Herber- er. tO Y rs Be did not respond to the divorce sult nor has he tothiscourt. If the marriage should be set aside Mrs. Herberger will be entitled to arrears Of pensions dating back to1 50 as she may remain a Taz Bown EEN MURDER—Henry Lee, the colored d last week on sus Picton ot having kil clored man n: Williams, at bowlt ih ig Green, Ya., and held at © headquarters, was réleaséa Saturday Dt on by Lieut.

Tice,the weather prophet of St. Louls, gives the following directions to those who aspire to be weatherwise: As everybody ts interested in the weather, so each one should qualtfy himself or herself’ to read the sky, and to interpret the meaning of the wind: and clouds, A blue and serene sky indicates rains and severe storms in from twelve to fort ight hours. A gray, hazy sky indl- cates continnous dry and generally hot weather. A southeast wind Indicates the existence of a low barometer, if not a storm center in the northwest. The aspect of the sky and clouds ‘will tell whether it means mischief or not. An almost Immediate cessation of rain may be ex- Rs cted as soon as the northwest wind sets in. { matters not what the aspects of the sky are When the west wind sets In; fair weather will ensue ft, and continue from three to four days, ‘The passage of a storm center from the gultand southeastward of our locality is a partial ex- genian only so far Uiat it clears off more tardily, There really are but two primary kinds of clonds, namely, (1) those that float ata great height above the carth’s surface, and (2) those that float low. Those that float high, say from six to nine miles, are of a fibrous and gauzy Structure; they are hence called cirrus, that is, hair or tuft clouds. ‘The clouds that form tn the lower strata of the atmosphere, say from oue to three miles above the earth, are Irregular in structure, and of a more or less nodular form. ‘They are called the cumulus, that is,the heap or pile cloud. While the is remains nebular In structure and indistinctly defined against the sky, no rain need be expected. Under the low baro- Meter, however, they develop by accretion, be come smooth and compact in structure’ and much enlarged in volume. They now sink Jower and become sharply defined against the blue sky, Rain may now be expected, espe. Clally if tbey unite with the cumulus, forming the nimbus ‘or raincloud. If the currus, in- Stead of forming the nimbus, reascends, it'd! Sipates, and no rain need be expected until odo again, which generally fs in twenty-four ours. AN OLD £ CRIME REVIVED—Ti00 Of the Benders in Custoly.—A man and a wo man, who are supposed to be John Bender and his wife Kate, the notorious Kansas murderers, whom the police of the country have been hunting for over seven years, are now lodved in jail at Fremont, Dodge county, Neb. They were arrested in Colfax County, near Schuyler, coming East. The man sald’ his name was McGreger, but admitted that at one time he Stayed with the Benders, and saw them put two children in a hole Inthe garden. The wo- man claimed that the man was her husband, and that both of them witnessed some of the murders committed in Kansas, Subsequently the prisoners were visited by Mr. Hootland, Who, for two years prior to July, 1873, was a neighbor of the Bender family in Kansas, and Were fully identified by him.” The woman ad- mitted that the man was John Bender, but said Ubat she was not his wife. Young Kate and John Bender, she said, were with a team taking another road. The party were to have met in Jowa, and then some one was to goto Kansas ‘dig up;¢700'buriedjon ol nder’s premises. The Bender family, it will be remembered, consisted of two men and two women, who oc- cu] @ one-story cabin on the open prairie in Labette county, Kan: which was kept as a kind of wayside tavern for the accommodation oftravellers. Shortly after they occupied the house remarkable disappearancesof travelers began to be noted. In February, 1873, an old man and his re eed left. Cherryvale, near where the Benders lived, in a wagon to go to Fort Scott, but never reached that place. In March Dr. Wm. H. York saw their wagons at Fort Scott, and started to ferret out the mys3- tery. He too disappeared, and a search for him resulted in the discovery of the bodles of the old man and child in a ravine with their throats cut. The house of the Benders was often visitsd by the searchers, and in April, 1873, the whole family disappeared. The ho1s3 Was searched and a trap-door discovered, aye neath which was a well, the floor and walls being saturated with blood. The body of Dr. York was found buried in the garden, with a wound in the back of the head, and in’ a short Ume nine more graves were discovered, eight of them containing single bodies of men’ and one of them an old man and little girl. Since that time every effort has been made to capture the Murderers, but without success until now. §2~ Isaac J.

Sewer Gas in the ernment department buildings? lt 13 a ms‘ter of wonder and frequent remark m those who visit these places only occasionatiy that such a potent instrumentality of evil should be permitted to exist. It seems to trouble those Whose business xe them in these buildings day after day; but little like the eels that had got used to being skinned, they don’t mind it much, but it is none the less Sconcey eee & sap- ing the strength and life of many hundreds. ‘he water registrar, in his notice to consumers, says: “The continuous dow of water in water closets is especially injurious to the health of those whe have to breathe the poisonous gases Which escape into houses from sewers when the trap is open.” The writer is one of many who have suffered in health by exposure to the bale- ful influence of the malaria generated in the sewers of Washington and afforded inlet t> the government offices through the numerous ‘sewer connections in the Treasury building. It would seem that the water that flows so ly through all the drains and sewer pipes, for the pores doubtless, of flushing them out, but iberates the deleterious gases which are in this way afforded access to the offices, rooms and fives ofthe departments. During the summer months it 1s less baneful to health than in the colder weather, when the closed win- dows and doors do not allow the tnfasion of pure air from without to dilute the strength of the poison; but poison and death it 1s, nevertheless, the presence of which is not consistent with the civilization of the age. It is hoped that between now and the return of winter some plan may be devi ed and put into execution whereby this crying evil may be abated and the health of the numerous employés of the government and the well betag of Its service greatly promoted thereby. 8. The Defective Garbage Service. Editor Star:—While the controversy goes on between the health ofticer and Mr. F. Carter, contractor, in reference to the removal of gar” bage, the people of the District go on sufferin; Reohyvenience and inhaling the disease-breed- ing stenches which arise from the garbage, strengthened by age, and which fill our alleys and back yards. r. Carter, contractor, &., in your last issue says that he compiles with the termgs of his contract in every particular. I do not know what the terms of that contract are; but If they are for the removalof garbage once in ten days, and only after complaint, at that, then he Speaks truly ; but if it calls for more frequent performance his letter to the Commissioners Should be taken with several grains of allow- ance. To be specific, for more than a week no garbage wagon was seen on thisstreet, and after complaint we received service twice, each time signing a receipt for the same, since which time —a Week ago—no service has ‘been rendered 1n the nelghborhood. And I kuow many who are willing to bear testimony of similar or worse neglect in other neighborhoods. -E. P. R., 4th st. n, Ww. HE Lost.—A few days ago, while an excursion from out on the Lake Shore Road was spreading itself over Detroit, a pair of lovers seated them. selves on the steps of the City Hall and ot course took hold of hands. Some of the offictals in the building noticed this, and one gentleman offered to bet $1 that they would squeeze for a Straight hour without once breaking their hold. The bet was taken anda third party took his station where he could watch the reswit. [t Was ab awful hot day, but that didn’t make the least difference. At theend of forty minutes the two red hands were Still tightly clasped. So t were when five minutes more would have struck the hour. Then the young man made an uneasy movement, leaning over to her flaxen curls he said: Smantha, I’m going to let go of your hand fora minute, but you won't be mad, will you, darling? I wouldn't let go till you did, only Some sort of a bug is crawling down my back, and I can't keep my mind on you and bugs at the same time!"—Detroit Free Press.
