A MOTOR TRAIN IN THE DITCH. A Tough Makes It Lively in the Southgrn Part of the City—Sneak Thicves Noaty hhed—The Work of Burglars, A Scheming Adventuress, Late last evening & potition was filed with the clerk of the district court that promises any amount of unpleasant notoriety for scv cral peovle, some of whom are well known 10 the residents of the 13luffs, It was a mo- tion m equity in which Russell N. Whittle- sey applics for a decree of divorce from his wife, Martha Fi Whittlesay, and the custody of Ada Templeton cls his daughter, Whittlesey, and such ovier reiief as the court, might seem just and equitabie, the pe tition sctting forth that the wother is not a proper verson to bave churge of the child, I'he ground on which thesuit is brought is unfaithfuiness. ‘The allegations are that the plaintiff hus been a resident of this county 1or the past seven yoars und that his resi dence here has been 1n good faith wnd not for the purpose of obtaining a divorce, He married the defendant on the 25th of Decem- ber, 1883, The petitioner comes not in any Jovity, but in a!l seriousness, and prays for an annullment the macringe contract, The ates vaat the child, Ada Temple- ton Whittlesey, was born on the itn of Octobe! 7 It is alleged that the mother is not a suita- 188 ble person to care for the child, An amend- ment to the petition states that the defe «nt intends to take the child to L7s Angele Cal.. to reside with a married sister, Mrs. J. M. Grifith, These are tho allegutions of the petition and the grounas on which the desired rohef 18 asked. A probabiv outerowth of the Whittlesoy case will be anotter divorce case, ju which Mrs. J. M. Grifith will figure as defendant. Tue story of Mrs. Grifith’s carcer is quite interésting. Sho formerly resided in this oity, and us Annus Allison had a wide acquantauce. ‘About two years ago she left hore, going to Abilene, Kon., and later to Los’ Augeles, where she wet Griftith, who became infatu~ ated with ner and married her. Grifiith is sad to be & millionaire lumber dealer, and Bradstreot quetos him at six figures, with an cigbt at the head. He is nearing his six- tieth year, While Mrs. Griflith is but twenty- six. Sheisa very fascinuling woman and tho lumber baron was not . proof against her wiles. She represented that she was a rela~ tive of Senator Al'ison, although in no way connes with Towa's distinguished senator, and-managed-the affair 8o swccessfully that the marriage finally took plive in Chicago, despite the most deeided “objections on the part - of - Grifith’s relatives, Thoe unién- created an open rupture in hit family, ~which bas never healed. Owing to the supposed distingnished con- nections of Miss Allison, the Chicago papers published a lenizthy uccount of the wedding, embellishing it with her pretended pedigree. Marked copies were sent to the coast, and the San Francisco. papers stiil further cluborated ' the great event. After an ex- tended wedding tour the couple returned to Los Angcles, where the bride was received with open arms, and immediately took a prominent place in the most exclusive social circles. A short time ago she went to Chicago, where she’ is now visiting with another sister, in compa with Mrs. Whittlesey. Grifith is positive that all is not as it should be, and bas a detective watching his wife nd looking up her past record. This de- tective was in the Bluffs u few days ago and sccured afldavits from several parties, among them the landlady of a well known boarding house, that Mrs. Griftith occupied u room there with & certain man about two years ago. A copy of an entry in the police records, showing that she was arrested at this house for such an offense, was also taken, together with the affidavits of certamn officers, who mude the arrest. Griffith vows he will never again live with his wife, and never wants to see her face again, He is saustied that she is an adveaturess, who married him simply for his money. It hus been expected for some days that Mrs, Griftith and her sister would appear in _the Bluffs en route “for California, but as they have not arrived, ‘Whittlesey bas decided vo wait no longer to obtain possession of his child, and has insti- tuted procoeaings in the district court as ubove stated. e AN The handsomest and cleancst market, best meats and lowest prices, J.

The first serious accident on the motor line oceurred about 1 o'clock yesterday ufternoon at the east end of the Iowa approach to ihe bridge. An east-bound train came down the grade at a high rate of speed, and as it rounded the curve where the track leaves Broadway the motor jumped the track and went down the bank, which at this poiat is atout six feet high. The miotor turned over and landed on its side and the trailer also plunged down the bank but was pot overturned. There were aboul twenty-five passengers on board and the accident caused the most intense excitement. ‘Lhe passengers were thrown from their seats and several of those in the motor wera severely bruised. Archi- tect I, M. Ellis was hurlea througn a win- dow angd his head ana face were badly cut by the broken glass. Au elderly gentleman, whose name was not learned, had one arm badly bruised and it was thought the bone was broken. The injured ones and several of thoss who escaped more fortunately were taken back to Omaha on a west-bound train, Au examination showed that the track was all right, and nothing appeared to be the matter with the car, and the passengers ex- snued the opinion that the wreclk was alone ue to the carclessness of the motorman, who allowed the train to descend the grade too rapidly, Frequent complaiots have been wade about the specd maintained by motor- men in rounding curve d thore was narrow escape from an accident from this cause yesterday morning at the corner of Pierce and Madison streets. “Tho damage to the rolling stock from yes- terday's wreck will not exceed §200.

The democrats demanded a yea and nay vote on that motion. 1 held that in the absence of rules the yeas and nays could not be demanded, The wotion was carcied bya viva voce vote, the democrats refraining from voting, A resolution was then offered by Senatfr Foster that we proceed to clect 1oordinate officers and attaches of the sen- ate, and that a plurality vote shouid clect. democrats again wanted a yea and nay vote, The lieutenant governor ruled as he did before. & aker, democrat, then moved that Senator Fisher’'s resolution be on the table.

The demoeratic house base their clains on having convened where the governor designated, and on their membars holding certificates from the county clerks of the respective counties. The republicans have claimoed that under an ordinance in.the cunstitution, the only legal tribunel that could pass upon the election of stato ofticers and members of the legisiature was the state canvassing board, as provided in said ordinance. The members of the republican house all hold certificates of election from this board. The cluim of the democratic press that they have made the only overtures for a settlement is not based on fact. The republicans have at all times been witling to make any reason- able concessiors, and they have made fair and just propositions, but the democrais have been willing to sccept nothing unless they: were given un advantage to start with, **I'he situation now is thut a republican house hus been willing to pass a few luws— the appropriation billand so on—and adjourn, 80 s to suvo the state tne expense of an- other month's attempt at legislation.

Going up the nill and entering the court house, the oftice of the democratic governor is seen on the loft, and that of the republican secretary of state on the right. Ascending the stair- case and entoring the supremo court room the senate is seen in session. It consists o! sixteen members, night of each of the two political parties, and is presided over by the republican lieucenant governor, In the dis- trict court room at the other end are the tweoty-nine members of the democratic house, going through the motions of reguiar sessions, but without accomplishing any- thing.

A Horse Thief That Proved to be a Handsoms Young Girl. In the first dayg of Lepdville wagons formed the only means of transportation for the imnense qaantity of merchan- dise needed therd,#nd for the shinment of the large output of ore and bullion, says the Helena Journal. As a conde- quence horses and' mules were used in large numbers, Trhins of freight wag- ons lined the roads leading to the great carbonate camp, dna 1t frequently be- came necessary $0° turn the stock out after a bavd day’s) jours W graze on the adjoining hill sides. Leadville offered a good market for work stock of all, kinds, ns animals brought from the east [requently sue- cumbed to the climatic effcct of u high altitude and heavy work. Many a freighter reacheédthe top of a hard pull only to see his best work-mule lie down und die in the harness. Such in- ducements and easy sale brought pro- fessionul horse thieves in abundunce, The immunity from punishment that they seemed to enjoy and high prices paid for their plunder stimulated them to constant activity, and made them hold in their profession. Saguache county, Colorado, was a fayovite section for the operations of this fraternity, these gen- tlemen making their trips with almost the regularity of stage coaches. After ao unusuatly bold raid a pavty was orgrnized determined to follow the trail and overtake the thieves, and if the depredators were caught o save all county expensos in the way of sheritf fees ana trials. The pavty started early in the mcraing, and, as the trail was large, and hot, they were able to follow it almost at & gatlop. Pollowing along the wost side of t San Luis valloy and t through u defile of the Sangro De Christo mountaing, the course of the pursuors and pursued omerged into the Arkansas valley, close to where the South Arvkansas flows into the main stream. Here it was evident that the two purties could only be a short dis- tance apart. The robbers had taken more stock than they could easilynandle,and Jid not | socm to be aware that they were being followed, Two ot the stockmen from the rancheson the route joined the vig- ilantes and furnished fresh horses. About noon on the following day the thieves with the stolen stock were dis- covered camped at the north of Cotton- wood ereck. There were but two. Ono appeared to he n young boy not over sixteen: the other was a tine looking young man of perhuaps twenty or twenty= two years of age. On beiny called on to surrender, the boy pulled & six-shooter and fired on the vigilante: At the sume time heand his companion jumped down behind the bank of the river from which place it was found impossible to dislodge them whithout the loss of at least three or four men. After a hurried eouncil of war it was it was decided for two men (o go down to the cross over and come up on the other side to apoint where the fugi- tives couid be easilv covered, and the balance to prevent their e » from the position they were in. This was done and when the t 08 wore agrain summoned to surronder they simply turned and commenced fiving at their two pursuers on the opposite side of the rive| The fire was returned and re- sulted in the boy dropping dead with a broken neck and his companion falling with a bullet through the lungs. When the vigilantes went to where they lay the elder was still alive, and the boy was, of course, dead, and proved to bo delieate young girl with deiieate and rolined features.

Observe the mixwure ol dramatic elements in the third act. Bertie's entrance in torn clothes is farce. The widow’s tumble is farce. Vanalstyne’s courtship is comedy. His son’s death is tragedy.

When Mr. Howard reaa the play the company was enthusiastic till the tumble was reached. Tney all looked at th neighbors. They thought the effcet too broad. ‘Iso’t it ather too farcical? said I to How- ard. ‘Lthink itis in the spirit of the scene,’ he replied. On the first night when Miss Selina Fetter tumbled, and the pained look came over her face which only a woman who has tumbied can displuy, there went upa yell of joy from the audience at the Union Square theater. ‘Howard is right,” said I to Crane.

Asurule, it takesa playwright about ten years to learn his trade, so that Howard has probably spent thirty years of hislife in writing for the stage. To compound the farce, comedy and tragody of *The Henvietta’ he has vead, studied and thought for move than a quarter of o acentury.

Y HWith merely an infinite capacity for taking pains, **How long must he study?” “All his life. And he must do nothine else. He must not be jonr- nalist, magazinist, novelist. He must be dramatist first, lastand all the time.” “But suppose he has to earn his liv- ing?”? “He had better earn it by writing plays; no matter how poorly he suc- ceeds, I tell you, the man who und takes to write for the stuge undertakes the hardest task of his life. He must know every possible situition. He must know every play that wasever writ- ton. He must know the stage from every point of view—f{rom that ofj the stage- carpenter as well as from that of the box office. He must possess the gift of self-critic.sm. He must be merciless with his own productions. He must de- vote himself to his aim with entire singleness of purpose, as Mr. Boucl cault did. Do you suppose that if Bouci- cault had dabbled in journalism or in miscellaneous writing—for which he had every qualification—that he would ever have prodauced this inimitable series of Ivish plays? Why, sir, nearly twenty years passed between the produc- tion n[’ *Old Heuds and Young Hearts' and the production of ‘The Colleen Bawn.” That interyal Mr. Boucicault filled with failure after faillure, Was he discouraged? Any ono else would have been, But Boueicault understood that his two early successes were more or less accidental, What he necded was practical knowledge. He get him- self to acquire it.

The moral that the quality most needed for stage writing is perseverance.

It used to be said of him that he had brain enough to make soveral good heuds. His brow was so protuberant that eyes,though ponusually large, seemed sunkem, atd - we lidoned unto “great burning lamps set deep into the mouths of caves.” But large as his perceptive organs were, his reflectives bulged out over them. His causality was massively developed, and his organ of comparison, which was larger than his casuality, protruded as though nature in building Web- ster’s head, having distributed her sup- erabundant material as well as she could, found at last that she had such o lot of brain matter left that, in despair, she dabbed it on in front and let it take its chance of sticking; aund it stuck. The head, the face, the whole presence of Webster was kingly, majestic, god- like. and when one heard him speak he found that Webster's voice was just ex- actly the kind of voice that such a look- g man ought to have. It was deep, resonant, mellow, sweet, with a thunder roil 1n it which, when lct out to its full power, was awe-inspiring. In ordinary speech its magnificent bass notes rolled forth like the rich tones of n deep- voiced organ: but when he chose to do 50 ho could elevate his voice in ringing, clarion, tenor tones of thrilling power. He also had a faculty of magnifying a worc into such ?l'mliginu.fl volume and force that it would drop from hislips as agreat bowider might drop through the ceiling and jar the senate chamber like a clap of thunder. e Peonle Who Worship the Bear.

The men are well built but rather un- dersized, and their bodies are covered more or less thickly with hair. They wear long beards and the haiv of their hoad is also long and bushy. The women are not so woll-looking us they have todoall the hard work of the tribe. The folk are not pifted with much telligence, and they worship natu objects and animals, the bear b spacially selected for this ng purpose. They spend their time in fishing and hunting. It is hard to tell what is the number of the Ainos. But as they are not supposed to number more than 50,000 at the very most, it is likely that they will sooner or later become extinet. | - A New Bail Room.
