The Sherif Vatnly Tried to Have Troops Sent There. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. FROSTBURG, Md., June 12—The Mary- Jand miners heard with alarm today that | the Ohio and Pennsylvania miners had ac- | fepted the compromise of 6) and 69 cents | & ton offered by the operators, and would | go to work on Wednesday. The Maryland- | ers struck first out of sympathy for’ the Western miners, and it was three weeks before they submitted grievances to the | local operators. Now the men in sympathy | for whom they struck have accepted the; company’s compromise and forsaken the Dattle. The Star correspondent spoke to several strikers today about the action of the west- | erners, but for the most part the men were | unwilling to discuss the situation. It was | easy to see, however, that the leaders were | @%gusted at the furn affairs had taken. | One of them said, “I'm afraid it means | that it’s all day with us: still we'll fight it out to the end. We have personal griev- ances and it ‘s by nb means a sympathy strike out and out.” Sheriff King received a telegram last night from the superintendent of the George’s Creek saying that he expected trouble and asking for assistance. Gen. Douglass had gone to Cumberland on his way to Baltimore, but Gen. Brown was enabled, through his special telegraph wervice, to put himself in communication with him at Cumberland. Gen. Douglass State’s Attorney Sloan were at the Cumberland end and Gen. Brown and Sher- iff King at the camp end of the wire. Gen. Douglass declined to send troops to Lonaconing without special orders to that effect by the governor, or unless sufficient disorder had broken out to warrant it. State’s Attorney Sioan then sent word to Sheriff King to go himself to Lonaconing and there try to preserve order. The sheriff secured a special engine over the Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroad atout 1 o'clock this morning. There he found considerable excitement, and efforts | the | on to relate that Mr. Wiman on February | ! i } on the alleged “contempt | Press Company. y.

Dun & Co., and asked him for a check for $5,000 payable to E. W. Builinger; that Bullinger never got the check, but that Wiman deposited it In his own bank to his | own private account “The question in the minds of the jury- men wi! Did Mr. Wiman know the signature of Mr. Bullinger was forged when he uttered the check,” said Mr, Wellman. “We can show that he did, for the law allows us to show that Mr. Wiman had ut- tered forged checks during the year pre- vious. A year before he uttered another | Bullinger check. Then he uttered checks drawn to the ordet of J. M. Fairbanks, to | the amount of $15,000 and $16,00 | Gen. Tracy interrupted at this point and requested the court to order the district at- torney to confine himself to the case in question. * “And as to that,” said the general, “we concede that Mr. Wiman wrote the name o: Builinger on the back of this check and de-| posited it to his own account, Commercial | law justified him tn so doing.” Jus to be evidence, unless these facts should be subsequently brought forward as testimony. The assistant district attorney imme- diately replied to Gen. Tracy: “The counsel Is, indeed, magnantmous in acknowledging that-Wiman signed Builin- ger's name to the check. He knows that we have Mr. Wiman’s written ietier, his confession In which he acknowledged doing so, and -beggel for mercy from his em- ployer.”” The prosecution then called its first wit ness in James Harren, cashier of R. G Dun & Company. Mr. Harren testitled that | in 1892 Mr. Wiman came to him and said! that the firm was in debt to E. W. Bulli ger. He directed witness to draw a ¢heck Company at Lonaconing Payable to Mr. Bullinger for $57,753. The check was drawn and is Wiman. by Mr. At this point the witness was shown the check and identified the indorsement as that of Mr. Wiman. Cross-examined by Gen. Tracy, witness admitted that in the ten years that he had acted cashier he had filled the firm's checks at the direction of Mr. Wiman. In fact, the witness admitted that almost the entire direction of the firm's affairs was under the control of Mr. Wiman, Mr. Dun being away for the greater fart of the last ten years. }_ Witness admitted that Mr. Wiman seemed Most assiduous in firm's affairs. in this city had for some years hung a sign giving the Individual names of Mr. Dun's business associates.

The second witness of the trial was Ed- win B..Bullinger, publisher of Bullinger's Guide, which for many years has been something of an adjunct to the reports of Dun & Company. Mr. Bullinger testified that he has known Mr. Wiman since 1878. Mr. Wiman handed witness a check for $5,000, drawn February | 1892, on the Chemical National Bank, edly by the witness, and so indorsed. Witn said he had never before seen the check and never authorized Mr. Wiman to sian his name to any such instrument. | Mr. Wellman thereupon offered the check in evidence. Taken in hand by Gen. Tracey, Mr. Bullinger said that the indorsement check purported to be drawn by him in no way resembled his handwriting. Then Ms. Wellman called Cyrus H.

Address of the Assistant Secretary of the Interior. JACKSON, Miss., June 12.—The commence- ment exercises of Millsaps College were held today. The feature was the address on “Education” delivered by ex-Gov. Sims, first assivtant secretary of the interior. He referred at length to the alms of the insti- tution and tho philosophy of education, and made an eloquent plea for revision of im- migration laws. He said in part: “The philosophy that controls education is traced from the early history of China, which, 2,00 years ago, held competitive examina- tions for official positions, and where be- trayal of any expression not based on the authority of the precepts of Confucius and Mercius was fatal to the office seekers. “Education does not merely contemplate the urfolding of mental powers, but de- mands that the largest amount of important and useful knowledge be brought to the mind. So all thought is an educational fac- tor. There are many roads to knowledge, but only one to education, and that through the gateway of seif-help.”” In concluding, Gov. Sims spoke of the SIMS ON “EDUCATION.” ; Present agitations of Socialists and anar- | | | | | | | The de-| northeast, both sufferin; chists throughout the world.

Her Clothes Torm From Her Body—A‘ Cavalier Who Ran Away— Rescued in Time. Henrietta Storried, a colored girl, was violently assaulted on the New Cut road last evening shortly after 8 o'clock. Four unknown men were engaged In the brutal affair. In spite of their efforts, however, they did not succeed in their purpose. Mr. John Blundon, who was attracted by the screams of the girl, frustrated them. He fired at them with a shotgun just as they were about to succeed in overpowering their victim. They fled at the report, making to- ward the woods. They left the girl almost unclothed, bruised, scratched and frighten- ed. Today she is almost nervously pros- trated. Henrietta is a domestic in the em- ploy of Mr. Sherwood of 334 and R streets. ‘There she was found by a Star reporter to- day. She was considerably affected with Shattered nerves still, but told her story in a deliberate manger and with no contradic- tions. While she talked she rubbed her bruised face with a carbolic wash. According to Henrietta, just after the Sherwoods’ supper dishes had been placed away she was called upon by an admirer, Wm. Dickerson, a soldier in the ninth cav- alry, troop K, stationed at Fort Myer,whom she has known for about a year. They took a walk out the road to “gather daisies.” While engaged in this pastime they were approached by four colored men clad lke laborers and Dickerson was com- manded to leave the girl. He refused, Whereupon the men began to stone him. Then he ran. Before he had gone far, a stone caught him on the back of the head and cut him deeply. As he made off the girl yelled for him to get a policeman. At the time he was probably half a mile from the regular beat of the nearest one. He never came across one until he reached the station. Then he was covered with blood. In-the meantime, the girl claims, she was being assaulted by the men. They dragged her in some neighboring bushes and began a series of beatings to render her unconscious. One, she says, first beat | her in the face and then sat upon her to| smother her outeries. At the same time | she was being beaten on the breast and | stomach and injured in other portions of | her body.

DEBATE IN CONGRESS TODAY Disposing of the Left-Over Freed- man's Bureau Funds. THE VOTES TAKEN In the House this morning Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio secured unanimous consent for the consideration of the bill reported from the committee on military affairs, appropriat- ing $100,000 for the erection of a national home for aged and infirm colored people. ‘The money is tu come from a fund in the treasury set aside and belonging to the estates of colored soldiers, but the bene- ficiaries of which cannot establish technical claim to the sums, While it is proposed to erect the home in the District, it is to be strictly a national affair. The report of the committee, accompanying the bill, reviews the history of the accumuyjation of thi: fund in the treasury and says: “When the bureau (referring to the Freed. man’s bureau) way discontinued in 1872 the unexpended balance of said funds was turn- ed over to the adjutant general's depart- ment for disbursement, and every effort was made to find the persons entitled there- to. In many instances it was ascerta cases the funds were held for seven years and then repaid into the treasury on the legal presumption of the death of the payees. The total amount repaid was $504,- 00. In iss2 it was found that more than one-half of that sum had been claimed, the tine amount remaining unclaimed being money has been claimed (and in many in- stacces as gnany as 10 persons from as many different states filed claims as the lawful heirs of one deceased soldier) since the date of that report there still remains in the treasury at least $300,000, which, un- der existing conditions, can never be pald cut on account of the utter insufficiency of the proof furnished to establish the claims. There have been numerous requests made by, {he colored people generally to apply the suin for the advancement and benent of their race, but as there was no law in ex- istence whereby this money could be so used no progress was ever made, In 1893 a number of colored men in the | District of Columbia formed a corporation for the purpose of establishing and main- taining a home for the aged and infirm col- cred peopie of the United States, and by private subscription have acquired a tract j of land sufficient to erect a suitable home thereon, and have come to Congress for a transfer to them for that purpose of a@ portion of the fund in the treasury, which justly, equitably, and legally belongs to the colored people. There {s no question but that the aged colored people who were once ves are more subject to destitution and require charitable aid more than any other class of people in the United States, and as it is not the province of this government to establish charitable institutions, but rather assist those already established in the Dis- trict, these people suffer for want of an in- stitution of their own. There are at tne present time only ten colored people per- mitted admittance in the charitable insti- | tutions in the District of Columbia on ac- count of a lack of accommodations, and | those are provided for in the basement of the Children’s Asylum on Sth street; there- fere it is eminently proper that they should ecelve recognition to such an extent as ill enable them to care for the needy and azed of their own race out of the funds which really belong to them and are with- heid in the United States treasury. by taking this money for the purpose set out, it is only giving the colored people the benefit and use of the fund that righifully belongs to them, and which, if not TO~ priated for their use, or some other, will le Idle In the treasury of the United States until some Atstribution ts made of it. The fact should clearly be borne in mind that this fund would be paid to the heirs of the deceased colored soldiers If proper proof could be made, but, inasmuch as the re- quirements of the department cannot be complied with, and satisfactcry regulations as to identification of the claimants cannot now be made, unless some legislative action is taken whereby the money can be utlized for the benefit of these people, it will re- main where it and the race of peonle who are entitled to evéry penny cf it wiil be deprived of what is justly due them,’ Favoring the Bill. Mr. Outhwaite explained the bill, and no one, after his explanation, seemed to ob- ject to it, until Mr. Cannon of Illionis sug- gested that in the future Congress might be called upon to appropriate for the support of the inmates. Mr. Outhwaite assured tim that such {s not the intention of the promoters of the home, and an amendment would be accepted clearly defining this. Mr. Murray, the colored Congressman from South Carolina, said he hoped this bill will pass, as it is in a worthy cause. There are a great many aged and infirm colored people in the states who have no resources in the way of charitable insti- ubtions, and he hoped this mongy would be ppropriated from the fund beloN¢ing to the icolored people. At a later time he would introduce a bill to appropriate the balance of the sum for the purpose of erecting in- dustrial institutions for the training of colored youth. There is a great need in this country for such Institutions. He be- Meved tn training the colored people accord- ing to their condition. There are two such institutions now in existence, and they are doing a noble and valuable work. Mr, Cannon of Iilinois offered an amend- ment providing that the home shall never become a charge upon the United States treasury. This was accepted, and then Mr. Cannon offered another amendment pro- viding that tf residents of the District of Columbia became inmates of the home, and are supported in whole or in part by Con- gress, one-half of the charge shall come out of the revenues of the District. Mr. Sayers of Texas moved to amend Mr. Cannon's amendment by requiring the en- tire cost of maintenance of District in- mates to be paid by the District. Mr. Sayers’ amendment was adopted, however, and the vote recurred upon Mr. Cannon's amendment as amended by Mr. Sayers. Mr. Cannon was defeated on a rising vote and a vote by tellers, whereupon he made the point of no quorum, and the roll was called, On the yea and nay vote Mr. Cannon's entrance was agreed to by a vote of 113 0 107. At this point Mr. De Armond of Missouri | aoa commit the bill to the appropria- tions committee, which was lost by a vote of 44 yeas to 113 nays. ‘The question then recurred on th ssage of the bill, and 102 yeas arose on a stand- ing vote to 29 nays. The negative vote was, with one or two exceptions, entirely by southern members. Mr. De Armond was not satisfied with this defeat, however, and made the point of no quorum, whereupon the yeas and nays were again called. —_+__—__+2+—___ TO SUPPRESS THE RIOTERS. Taking Steps to Put Down Disorder in Ohio. CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 12.—The dissat- istaction over the compromise agreement between the operators and officers of the United Mine Workers at Columbus has caused more apprehension “n some quar- ters, especially railroad circls, than ever. United Marshal Henry Bohl was attending court at Columbus. When summoned here by Judge Taft of the United States circuit court today and ordered to exhaust his ef- forts in swearing In deputy marshals to enforce the court's injunction against inter- fering with the running of trains, especially on the Baltimore and Ohio system. Judge Taft was very emphatic in his orders to Marshal Rohl to suppress all viola- tions of the order of the court, and stated that If the marshal could not secure enough deputies for that purpose the court would immediately call on President Cleveland for government troops. It is stated that the commandants of Fort \ ‘Thomas and Columbus garrison are advised to be in readiness. Marshal onl swore in fifty deputies at once and expects to have several hundred before he leaves at 6 o'clock for Colum- bus.

BRUTALLY ASSAULTEDIAGED AND INFIRM|*!S ACTION UPHELOIFINANCE AND TRADE Believed That Oaptain Thomas Will Be Sustained. Giving Refuge to the Ezeta Fugitives in Sam Salvader—No Recognized vermment at the Time. Although not officially admitted, there is good reason for the belief that Secretary Herbert has sent a dispatch to Capt. ‘Thomas, commanding the Bennington, at La Libertad, practically sustaining his curse in affording temporary asylum to the Kzeta refugees and sefusing to honor the demand of the revolutionists for their surrender. ‘This action !s said to be based on the theory that there was no actual and Fecognized government in Salvador at the time the fugitives were received and that Capt. Thomas could not very well have acted differently under the circumstances. Otherwise the fugitives would have fallen victims to the fury of a disorganized mob of the opposite political party. The matter was considered at today’s cabinet meet- 1 ing. A dispatch was received from Capt. Thomas by Secretary Herbert last night. It was brief, but to the point. He said he had refused to surrender the refugees, and had arranged to transfer them today to a Pacific mail steamer sailing for Panama. No reference was made to the situation in Salvador, so it is inferred that rioting is at an end for the present. There are |Tumors that the Salvadorans are highly incensed at Capt. Thomas for having re- fused to accede to their demands, and that | they may undertake to make his stay at Libertad exceedingly unpleasant, if not dangerous. Confidence is freely expressed | in Capt. Thomas’ ability to take care of | himself, but steps will be taken to rein- |force him at once in case of necessity. | Carelessness on his part in allowing his men too much freedom while the present excitement prevails might result in a repe- tition of the Baltimore affair at Valparaiso. le will be expected to take every precau- tion to avoid such a catastrophe. ———__—__- e+ THE GRAIN EXCHANG!

Earnshaw, made a strong address to the members, in which he said: “Turning now to the re- viewing of the growth of the business of our city while under the heavy general de- pression of business that is pervading our country during the past three years, by a gradual shrinkage in values which we have all seriously felt in our vario.s departments | of business; yet, I am proud to say, Wash- | ington has perhaps suffered less than any | other city, While she is not generaliy re- garded and looked upon as a commercial city, yet with the great advantages Wash: ington offers to both investors and pleasure seekers as a city of magnificence for her beauty and health, predicts for her at no far distant day to be numbered among the first. Her railroad and water facilities places Washington as a competitor for southern, eastern and foreign business. “tT believe our market has taken a healthy turn for insurance of a more prosperous year, The busy cluck of her commercial wheels gives every evidence of returning prosperit; He also paid a touching tribute to the memory of the late James L. Barbour. —— CITY AND SUBURBAN, Statistics Showing the Street Rail- road Factit-ies of Cities. An interesting collection of statistics has been made by Mr. L. S. Keene, the secre- tary of the Brightwood Citizens’ Associa- tion, on the subject of city and suburban railroads and their relation to each other. The data was secured by correspondence with officials of some sixty of the leading cities of the country, and it was found that there are some forty-seven roads which are wholly suburban. There are | twenty-six that get their ers in the heart of the city on their extended tracks. Four of these roads make the city connection by entering on city roads, while thirteen make it by transfer with city roads, There are five roads that transfer with the city roads without additional cost. It is found that there are only six roads that charge an additional sum for a transfer. Of the city roads there are 121 that extend into the suburbs and there are thirty-three that charge an additional fare into the suburbs. There are also six beit city roads. These statistics, which have been ar- ranged in tabular form, so that they can be easily consulted, will accompany the memorial which the association adopted on the subject of the increased railroad facil- ities for Brightwood, and will be sent to the Commissioners. —_———_—. THE JURY HAS IT. The case of ex-Policeman Thos. E. Clark, charged with raping Miss Nelite Kriete on the 10th of December last, was given to the jury at 12:55 this afternoon. The testimony in the case was concluded yesterday afternoon, and this morning the court passed upon the instructions re- quested by both sides, after which the case was argued before the jury. Messrs, O'Neill j and Little argued the case on behaif of the defendant, the addresses for the govern- ment being delivered by Assistant strict: Attorney Jeffords. The charge of Judge McComas was an ex: ly able and in- partial one. ——_—-. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Food Condemned. Last week the food inspectors of the health department condemned 288 pounds of meat, 110 quarts of berries, 114 bunches of asparagus, 170 bunches of radishes, 100 bunches of rhubarb, 350 cabbages, 144 cym- blings, 1,656 cucumbers, 10 bushels of peas, 10 bushels of beans, 23 bunches of fish and 12 bushels of miscellaneous fruits. Dogs Captured. Poundmaster Einstein made more trips last week than usual and extra efforts to rid the city of tramp dogs proved success- ful. During the week 121 dogs, 1 goat and 4 horses were captured. There were 110 dogs killed, 7 redeemed and 1 sold. The week's receipts amounted to $32, and there of the week. Nal ces Reported.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to ‘The Evening Star. NEW YORK, June 12.—The settlement of the coal strike @ncouraged traders to bid up prices at the opening of today’s market, and forced some covering of yesterday's short sales. London cables reflected a stiffer market for our securities, based largely cn the prospects of a satisfactory settlement of the labor troubles. The early advance in the regular list varied from 1-4 | to 1-2 per cent. Later, on the receipt of Jarge selling orders in Burlington, the en- tire list reacted sympathetically. These orders were traced to Boston houses, and with the liberal assistance of the room ele- ment resulted in a 1 3-3 per cent reduc- tion in the price of that stock. The losses elsewhere in the railroad list were covered by smaller fractions, and were not the re- sult of any significant causes. The room has abandoned the original presumption that other roads would speedily imitate New Haven's example, by a reduction of resent dividend rates. The action of the tter road is believed to have been the re- sult of the mistaken policy of guarantee- ing interest on other securities. The executive committee of the Western Union recommended the payment of the regular 11-4 per cent Gividend, and report that the company’s earnings justify their action. Manhattan directors alse declared the regular 11-2 per cent on the stock of that company. The question of dividends is ikely to play an important part in the stock market during the balance of the year, and certain obligations of this char- acter maturing next autumn are exceed- ingly doubtful of being met. In the industrial group prices were given od su; and recorded slight gains as the result of the day's trading. Sugar oc- cupied its accustomed place at the head of the list, and on Mberal trading annexed 2 per cent to initia! figures. The ‘stock which sold last week for the purpose of keeping down the price has not been replaced, and a reaction from the in- side is expected, in order to establish a sat- isfactory purchasing point. The action of the stock today, however, did not indicate that there was any immediate intention of resorting to this well-known device. It is expected that a substantial rise in this property will take place before final action is taken on the tariff bill, and for this rea- son shrewd operators increase their hoid- ings or all concessions. Chicago Gas gained 1 per cent on early trading, and representatives of the pool were quietly taking all the cheap stock in sight. The balance of this group of stocks recorded slight gains, but were only mod- erately dealt In. The market for sterling exchange was dull and slightly easier in tone. The smal! margin of profit to the local exporter is | likely to discourage any large gold ship-| ments during the week. The outflow of | gold is not expected to extend Into next | month, and will show steady decreases from now on. and without special feature. There was no news on which to base purchases, and re- cent experiences on the short side were sufficient to discourage a renewal of such risks. Trading throughout the day was purely professional and resulted in an tr. regular closing, except in the industriais, which were well supported up to the close of business. — FINANCIAL AND COMMERCTAL.

Coxey and Browne, the leaders of the army of the commonweal, called at the Senate today and struck another se- rious snag. They sent in thelr cards to Senator Vilas, chairman of the select com- mittee on “the existing public distress,” which this morning decided to hear all vol- untary witnesses who might appear before it. Mr. Vilas responded at once and found the men in the outer reception room, which was soon the scene of an excited discussion between them. Mr. Vilas told Coxey and Browne that his committee would be glad to Hsten to their arcuments and petition, but, he said, in answer to @ question, that the committee bad no stenographer and therefore could not take @ verbatim report of the words of the commonweal orators. This was not aj eable information for the Uemen who hi just emerged from the seclusion of the District jefl, and im hot terms they protested against such trest- ment. Mr. Vilas responded tartly that the com- mittee was z! be given, and he saw ne dificulty. Co ciimed to complain, patience with them, of ne way © 2 ey and Browne were still in- Vilas, losing unpleasan They immediately ator Kyle, who res ets they poured th expressed great treatment which Mr. Vilas and committee had r , Senate, but had been formed exnresse? it, “to put them off. They thought, that their arguments should be stenogrephically reported, and they were very impatient that the Senate had not granted them a hearing before the regular standing committer. Mr. Kyle, who ts chairman of the committee on education and Isbor, where the good rads bill was fent cards In to Sen- jed and inte whose r tale of woe. just. as they referred, told the visitors that he would grant them @ hearing before that commit- tee next Friday morning if he could pos- sibly arrange an early meeting. The 10 sions, he explainea, make it next to Secure meetings of the reg- mittees, but he promised thet if he could not secure a quorum for the reg- ular meeting he would appoint a subcom- mittee to hear their argumen's, and would furnish them with a stenographer. The commonwealers were quite delighted with this prospect, and. after thanking Mr. Kyle, withdrew. It is now the program that they shall appear on Friday before a subcommittee of the committee on education and labor. It is not at all certain, after the breezy Interview between them and Mr. Vilas, that Coxey and Browne will secure an audience before the public distress com- mittee. —E LL CLIMBING, The Mercury in the Thermometer is fm the Nineties. ‘This has been another real nice warm day, one of those days when you know it is summer without the trouble of consult- ing the almanac or the date line of the evening paper. There are lots of peopic, hewever, who would rather take it for granted than to be so sure of ft as one was ho walked the length of the avenue this afternoon. The highest point reached by the official thermometer up in the tower at the weather bureau was U1. This was as high as the mercury had gone up to 2 o'clock. and this was plenty high enough. At should be taken into account, however, that the average pedestrian was wander- ing around where it was much more torrid than it was in this breezy tower, and the softicial thermomagers around the strect corners suited their own pleasure as to the point they reached in their Journeyings up- ward. There was very little breeze to temper the direct rays of the sun. In the after- noon a few light clouds began to scatter themselves over the sky, but they did rot act as a screen to the extent that might have been desired. People whose business took them out of doors showed a deciiel preference for the shady side of the Street, or the shelter of an umbrella, while the soda water fountains and deft dispensers of the seductive summer drink did a thriving busi- ness all day long. The ladies took a “little ice cream, please,” in theirs, but, as a rule, the members of the stronger sex had a sprey of mint and a fine collection of fruit mixed with the chopped ice in their lone | glasses and then wondered why they were so much hetter after they had swallowed their juleps than they were before. Alcohal is @ great blessing under a chafing @tsh, but, as an old darkey expressed it this morning. “It certainly is one of the mos’ heatin'est things as is inside you.” ——> -—_ Charges Bad Trontment. Lilitan May Fowler today filed a pett- tion’ for divorce from James W._ Fowler. She states that under the name of Briggs she was ierried to the defendant here January 2, 18%. From the very first night they were together after their marrixce that the defenda at began 4 course of inhuman and b-vtel treatment, which continued until October last, when she refused to longer live with him. Mrs. Fowler also alleges that the de- fendant was married to one Lila M. Vs ¥ 5, 1886, from whom, «he states, the defendant led her 4the complain- ant) to believe he had obtained an absolute ivorce in Vizginia prior to his second mar- ee. But shorily after the birth of her child in February last the complainant al- leges that she learned that the Virginia divorce was not an absolute one. She therefore prays for an absolute divorce, with the right to resume he> maiden name, and that she be allowed the custody of the child. —" Range of the Thermometer.
