Five Chicago Judges Engagedin Separating Unhappy

Married People.

Special to the Globe.Chicago, Sept. There must be a

marked absence of coleric in the at-mosphere of Chicago when the divorceindustry is not up to the notch, com-

mercially speaking. The demand forthis modern essential to true happinesswas twice as strong as was thesupply. A number of lawyers whomake divorce their specialty, it is said,owing to the tendency to bull the mar-ket, have pooled their issues and di-vorces can be obtained upon the install-ment plan; that is to say, the divorcesproper are not obtained in this manner,but the lawyers' fees are paid thusly.Astatute recently passed, having theprotection of Chicago's leading indus-try well in view, makes all unpaid feesthus incurred a charge upon the prop-erty of the husbands which follow. To-day there were 100 applications for di-vorces before the court and it was not agood day for divorces either. The fivejudges. Shepard, Garnett, Jamison, Col-lins and Horton took the matter well inhand but their heroic efforts succeededin granting only fifty divorces. Here-after the clerks and bailiffs of these di-vorcemills will be called in requisitionand each man there

Chauncy Cochran claimedthat his wife Maggie had forgotten theseventh commandment- They had beenmarried only since May, but Chauncywas satisfied. Each can marry again.Frank W. Doud had a wife and threechildren when he married Sophia. Hehad overlooked this little circumstance,but Judge Horton promptly divorcedthe couple. Benjamin 11. Lanpher, aWagner sleeping car employe, marriedAnnie Barton in Cincinnati, in1885. He took her to St. Louisand this, together with his otheracts of cruelty was enough to giveAnnie what she wanted. The most in-teresting case before Judge Collins wasthat ofLena Struevy against John, her-husband, who was arrested for attempt-ing to shoot George Kuhl because hewas playing assistant husband to hiswife. John had filed a suit before the

usilade ofKuhl took place and let thematter drop. Mrs. Struevy. however,yesterday obtained a divorce on hercross bill. Because Mr. Jones. . HAD KILLED A MAN

and only obtained two years for it hiswife, Cassie, was granted a divorce.Herman Sass was charged with deser-tion by his wife, Berthina, and a decreewas promptly dealt out to her. For the"same reason Nannie Poole obtaineda decree against John L. Crueltyand together with a love for whiskyon the part of Albert Rupert gave hiswife, Katie, a divorce. They were mar-ried at Joliet in 1882, and both may beJoliet. Decrees were also grantedto Martha E from Charles E.Johnson, and Lizzie Garrett from Alex-ander Garrett for cruelty and desertion.Anna Benton told Judge Garnett thatshe had been married to Charles Bentonforten years, and during that whole

England Engaged in Trying toBulldoze a Weak Country.

New York, Sept. 24.— sailing ofthe English man-of-war Pylades fromTrinidad to Laguayra to demand indem-nity from the government ofVenezuelafor the detention of • the schooners Jo-sephine and Henriette, would seem topoint to an active policy on the part ofGreat Beitain ;: in... her 'dispute with theSouth American, republic. Lenior deSilva. the consul-general of Venezuelain this city, said:

The two schooners mentioned.have beendetained for non-compliance with the cus-tom regulations, and they were seized just asa vessel which did not comply with the regu-lations of this government might have beentaken. Ivmy opinion itIs merely at attemptof the Tory ministry in England to imitateMr. Gladstone's Egyptian war. They havegot themselvee into so much trouble in Ire-land that they hope to cover it by a vigorouspolicy in Venezuela. But what we look foris the interference of the United States. Thequestion has been before your state depart-ment for some time now, and it is really aserious one. The territory over w,hich Eng-land has assumed control is larger thanBritish Guinea, and it is a territory whichLord Granville has acknowledged belongedto Venezuela. They havetaken the Island ofBarima, which is at "the mouth of . the Ori-noco, and they permit the entrance of goodsfrom English colonies free of duty. Theylevy taxes upon the people and act in allmatters as the rulers .of the couutry. Thereal gist of this matter is the control of theOrinoco river. Its control means|an . enor-mous influence upon the South American re-public, and an influence such as the Unitedstates should have cause to dislike exceed-ingly. As far as war goes,* the English could,of course, blockade the Venezuelan ports ifthe United States would allow them to do.Ifthey attempted to invade the country, itisprobable that their troops Would die off likesheep, in the fevers of the coast line, theterra caliente. However, before matters gotto that point, I suppose the United Stateswould interfere. .-

A. Morgan and -Hester A. Simmondswere assigned for preliminary hearingbefore Judge Porter in the municipalcourt this afternoon. They were ar-rested at Lake Crystal on the 21st, uponcomplaint of William M. Simmonds,"Charged with bigamy. In default of bailthey were committed to the county iail 'to await the action of the grand jury.There is quite a family history in con-nection with this affair, all of which ismore or less confused. Morgan, inMarch, ISB6, married the daughter of thedefendant, Hester A. Simmonds, andearly in the present month, while thisdaughter was still living, and his lawfulwife, he was married to the abovewoman, whose husband is living here.The complaining witness is a son of thedefendant," Hester A. Simmonds, and abrother of Morgan's first wife, who is adaughter of the second wife and law-fully married to Morgan. The secondwife is the mother of the first wife andof the complaining witness, and mother-in-law of Morgan, as well* as his appar-ent wife. She -has another husbandliving here who is a father of her" chil-dren ami ofcourse father-in-law of hiswife's second -son. The complainingwitness is a son of the second wifeandbrother ofthe first wife. That wouldevidently make him

;

a brother-in-law ofMorgan's, as well as a stepson. Justwhat relationship the old man may bearto all of these and what other line dis-tinctions ofrelationship may exist mustbe left somewhat to the imagination.These people have lived out in thewoods several miles south of this cityforsome time past, and Morgan and hissecond wife, or mother-in-law, were at-tempting to get away from this vicinitywhen they were captured at Lake Crys-tal. The case is indeed a sad exampleofprofligacy. 77; ..' ."r

ON CHURCHILL DOWNS.. -->:* :.:; 7Louisville, Sept. 24.—1t has beenseldom that better, sport has been wit-nessed here than that during the pastweek upon the Louisville Jockey clubtrack.

FIERCE STRIFE AHEAD.War Declared Between the

National League and Brit- .« ish Government.

Editor O'Brien Convicted onTwo Charges and Sen-

tenced to Jail.

Lord Hartington Placed ina Peculiar Dilemma

About Politics.

Ayoub Kahn Still a Free Man—General Foreign Intel-

ligence.

By cable to the Globe.:London, Sept. 24.—War is now de-

clared between the National league andthe government, and bitter strife willcontinue until one is proclaimed victor.Both combatants proceed in their re-spective courses, and neither shows anysigns of weakening. Indeed the battleis but begun: Mr. Balfour has under-taken the mighty work of suppressing200 branches of the league but he findswhen the details of his plans are putinto operation, the league simply eludesthe suppression. The native wit of theIrishman is called into play, andmeans unknown to the chief secretaryare found of continuing the Nationalistmeetings. When the league was pro-claimed it was suggested • that thelaw might be evaded by the league as-similating with the Home Rule union orthe English Liberal league, and contin-uing to work as nominal branches ofthese societies, but the whole country isnow so thoroughly wrought up that anyevasion is scouted, and open defiance is

•the order of the day. The Irish leadersand people are determined to fight thebattle out solely under the banner ofthe league, and refuse to avail them-selves ofany subterfuge by which theymight escape' the consequences whichthe contempt of the law will imme-diately bring upon them.

The opinion was concurred in by Mr..O'Brien, Mayor _ Timothy Sullivan,.ofDublin, and Mr. Dillon, and this trio, incon junction with other Nationalist lead-ers, have decided to

SEEK NO TEMPORARY SHELTERunder the protection of outside asso-ciates, however sympathetic, but tomanfully struggle to uphold the leagueuntil the victory of which theyare confident comes to their re-lief. That this struggle will bea severe one is now plainly evident; theevents of the past week have convincedthe Irish leaders that the fight will bebitter and hard, and even more so thanthey had foreseen. There is not theslightest trace of the government flinch-ing in its present endeavor. They havefound Mr.Balfour'a*resolute ministerof England's coercion" policy, on thealert to take advantage of the merest

| chance in the government's favor; | vig-orous, active and -

ABSOLUTELY FEARLESSof his personal safety. Moreover, theyfind him ready to use the most extrememeasures in his power for their repres-sion. The Nationalist press has heapedevery epithet its extensive .vocabularycontains upon the Irish secretary, andlately revels in the bestowal of theeuphonious title of --bloody Bal-four," and characterizes his policy asworthy that of a fiend incarnate. Theyhold him up to execration, and, withallusion to the fatal affray at Mitchels-town,speak ofhim as ''dabbling his sleekyoung hands in Erin's blood." They:stigmatize him as "callous of bloodshedas Cromwell," and with burning wordsdepict him "butchering feeble peasantsin cold blood,' with a languid sardonicsmile upon -his cowardly, {effeminateface." Much more in the same vein ishurled at the devoted head of the min-ister by7 the press, and the Irishleaders are warned what to pre-pare for; that Balfour will strain'the .: coercion act to its utmostin order to extinguish the hatefulleague.- "Unless," continue they,."sud-den death stops him in his career, orthe ministry became afraid to followhim to such extremes as he will go, hewillprove

THE MOST FORMIRABLEFOE -•:.i _.that the national cause has met withsince its resurgence." There *is greatindignation among the Liberal ranks in.England. The anti-coercion meetings.which were held inLondon by the Lib-eral league were subjected topolice in-trusion under government orders.The police - were ordered \to bepresent for the purpose of ascertainingthe object of the meetings. The Liberalleague is severely blamed for assentingto this action by the government, andthey have determined to refuse infor-mation concerning their jmeetings, andto resist the entrance of *the police totheir deliberations unless the latter arearmed with a special warrant. This, ifgranted, willbe made the basis oflegal

Sroceedings, and it is improbable thatIr.Matthews, the home secretary, will

assume the risk of an action which nogovernment can sustain.

EDITOR O'BRIEN.

He Is Convicted Two Times in One. Day.Cork, Sept. 24.— trial of William

O'Brien under the . crimes act, whichwas commenced at Mitchelstown yester-day, was concluded-to-day. The ac-cused was found guilty and sentencedto three months' imprisonment. Noticeof appeal from the judgment of the.court was given. Mr. O'Brien, in hisspeech of-defense," said the crown was.guiltyof having suppressed evidencefavorable to him. The crown had with-held, for instance, the notes . made bythe head constable ;of the defendant'sspeech. In these notes, he said, was.recorded his statement that the Irishparty would give the land bill fair play.Continuing, Mr. . O'Brien justified*,hisdefense of the Kingstown tenantson the ground 7 that the evictionsagainst them were . commenced juston the eve of the passage of the landbill, and thus an attempt was made todefraud the poor, wretched tenants ofthe benefits of the measure. He ad-mitted that he even advised the tenantsnot to give up without resistance, andthat he had declared that, before Godand man, they .were justified in defend-ing their homes. '". Immediately aftersentence had 'been pronouncee againstMr. O'Brien on the firstcharge, he wasplaced on trial on : the"; second charge.This was of > the . same nature as theother." Upon this' he was also" foundguilty, and was .' sentenced; to . threemonths' imprisonment, the term . to Ibeconcurrent with the other. Mr.O'Brien;appealed from both judgments and wasliberated on bail. Mr. John Mandeville,'chairman .of ,the: board_ of poor law

.guardians '• of Mitchelltown, who '*was.-jointly,indicted with Mr. O'Brien 7; for:using seditious' language.; in C a speech' j; made on .the/, same occasion Jas > Mr.O'Brien's, was also convicted and. sent-enced to two.'months' .. imprisonment.'

Mr. Mandeville appealed from thejudgment and was permitted to remainat liberty on bail pending the decisionof the appeal. Mr. O'Brien, when heemerged from the court-room after thetrial, was received with an ovation by alarge crowd which had assembled totestify their approval ofhis course.

O'Brien gpoke briefly, notwithstand-ing the interruptions by the court, andwas frequently applauded. He assertedthat his advice nrevented evictions, thata hundred tenant? in Mitchelstown nowEossessed homes who would have been

oraelessif his advice had not beenadopted. 'Personally he felt very proudof being one of a long line of men whomade the prison cell a glorious and holyplace. Possibly he himself would bethe last of that long line for the Eng-lish nation, to which his last appealmust be made, would reverse the decis-ion pronounced to-day, and declare itno longer a crime to defend the homes,and assert the liberty of the IrhA peorpie.

LiORD HARTINGTON.

He is Placed in an Awkward' Po-sition Toward AllPolitical Parrties. ;. *;-"."•".

By Cable to the Globe.London, Sept. 24.—1t is more certain

now than ithas ever been that LordHarrington must choose between join-ing the present government during therecess or seeing its break-up. This hasbecome inevitable, apparently, lessfrom political than from personal causes.Agreat deal has been said from time totime of Lord Salisbury's self-sacrificein offering to make wayforthe Union*ist leaders, but the fact is, if no otherconsiderations had to be taken into ac-count, Lord Salisbury's health makes itabsolutely certain that he cannot faceanother laborious session while holdingthe two important and responsible offi-ces he now fills. The prolongation ofthe recent session entailed constantanxiety and mental strain on the headof the government, and Lord Salisburywas as much worn out as Mr. Smith,without having Mr. Smith's powers ofrecuperation. The premier is a. mostconscientious worker and the steadytoil at his desk during the closing daysofthe session has resulted in a somewhatserious physical derangement, whichhis stay at Royat has not greatly,benefited. Hence his departure to-dayforDieppe. If Lord Harrington doesnot make up his mind to assume theleadership ofthe present government.Lord Salisbury may be forced to resignwithout settling who is to succeed him,and it is this contingency which is beinganxiously discussed in ministerial quart-ers. Tlie -Conservative leader -wouldgladly retain the . secretaryship of theforeign office, but there is no one amonghis own colleagues, ofcourse, who couldbe placed over his head. Mr. Goschens, perhaps, the ablest of the men, butMr. Goschen's leadership

WOULD BE VERY UNPOPULARwith a large portion ofthe Conservativeparty. It is impossible to believe fora moment that Lord Harrington willstand by and see the present govern-ment go to wreck. There is only onealternative.** Lord Harrington will ac-cept the „situation, and he will do soearlier than most people have expected.Two . cabinet: ministers, one a manof great . family, steeped in all;of, . - the traditions of _ the '-highTory aristocracy, the other an energeticman of business and a prominent poli-tician, who sets for a populous urban,.constituency, in »interviews ' . to-day,uttered the same- sentiments and in al-most the same words of the \ subject | ofthe indispensability of Lord Harring-ton. There could not be. found betterrepresentatives ofthe old and new Com-servatism than these . two men. Theyfrankly said that they regarded; LordHarrington's entrance into the govern-ment as a most desirable move, althoughthey of course professed official ig-norance as to its likelihood. JosephChamberlain's departure for Americais so palpable a sign of disaffection andevidences so plainly a desire . to. with*draw from present complications iq.order to return to orthodox Liberalismthat Lord Harrington is bound to dowhat lies in his powers to supply

THE NECESSARY COUNTERPOISE. :All that loyal and hearty co-opeiation

from outside could do has been done andhas failed. There remains nothing forLord Harrington except to cast his lotofficially with those whom he unofficiallysupports. The difficulty about the \ seatis not great. If Rosendale rejects amember ofthe Tory government thereare plenty ofplaces which would wel-come him and ifhe shrinks from callinghimself a Tory there is," at any rate, oneconstituency which might be trusted toreturn him as a Liberal or Unionist andthat is ' the university., of* Cambridge.That excellent and accomplished imper-sonation of high churchmanship andhigh Toryism, Mr. Beresford-Hdpe,though greatly improved in health, willnever again be equal to the labors, anx-ieties ; and excitement of the house ofcommons. There could be nothingmore suitable than that he should besucceeded by the eldest son of the chan-cellor of the university, a graduate ofTrinity college, and a man who, as LordCavendish, won the credit among hisfellow students ofan intellectual capac-ity, principally in the direction ofmath-ematics, which would have assured him;a distinguished position :if circum-stances had obliged him to work.

AYOUB KHAN.

His Escape Is Causing the Englisha Good Deal ofWorry.

By Cable to the Globe.. London, Sept. 24.—The Indian office

is greatly disappointed at not having re-ceived a confirmation of the reportedcapture of Ayoub Khan. On the con-trary, a report received from Afghanis-tan this afternoon states that the inde-fatigable Afghan pretender is activelyre paring for a descent on Herat,louring more is known at present, and

it:need scarcely be said that further,particulars will be janxiously - awaited.So long, indeed, as Ayoub is at liberty,so long may Great Britain consider theAfghan question, with Its attendant is-sues, reopened.* The present rule inthat country has ]never been. receivedby the people with favor, and therehave : always \u25a0 been disaffected tribes,ready to rise up on the least encourage-ment. 'With the Ghilzai rebellion stillunsuppressed, this is a particularly in-convenient time for* the reappearanceofAyoub on Afghan soil. Herat, too.isan embarrassing spot for, while it af-fects a considerable area of country, theconstituted authority is but weakly rep-resented, and the rebellious spirits havea strong following thereabouts. Onceat the head of"a native . army, AyoubKhan would give his cousin, the ameer,who is just now troubled with gout,serious work, and if-successful" wouldreinvolve England in difficulties such asEnglishmen have seen enoueh of in thepast.

Why Davitt is Com .*,London, Sept. 24.—The : Cork corre*spun .tent of the Times : says that owingto the ,'blunders:'_'. made ; by . WilliamO'Brien during his recent American tripthe donations tothe National league fromAmerica: have dwindled, and .that Mr.Davitt has gone to America to endeavorto ''.repair the ". damage ••\u25a0 done by Mr,O'Brien. He kept his departure a secrefcuntil the last moment as he feared thathe would be "arrested; and that his pro*ject would be thus nipped in the bud.'
