Countess Russell today applied for a judicial separation from her husband , Earl Uussoll , a grandson of Lord John Kussrll , on the ground ot cruulty. The parties to the suit are well known In society cioty nnd tbo allegations nnd counter allega tions have afforded topics for conversation In many circles of upper society. In his presentation of the case for the countess , Sir Edward Clarke stated that when tlm countess marred sbo had a mar riage portion of 20,000. This money , how ever , had nothing to do with the troubles. When the countess was suffering from an attack of Inlluetiza tbo earl , Sir Edward Clarke declared , compelled the countess to accompany him on reckless drives in in clement weather , much to her injury. The carl made It n practice to leave bar room nt nlulit and go nnd stay late with a man named Roberts , who was sleeping In the house. Ho made the countess go to the ser vants' closets to see If they were provided with tbo proper requisites. As nn ovldoaco of the estimation in which the earl bold bis wife , Sir Edward Elated that ho often said ho would like to see her carried out of tbo bouse In n coflln. ( cntlc Matmcr.s ol' tlio Karl. Hoforrlngto tbo earl's ' accounts , Sir Edward Bald tbat ho would compel the countess to uriso alter she bad retired and go down Blairs to fix thorn up. Ho would than abuse bor in the most violent terms. On moro than ono occasion ho threw her to the lloor and commanded her not to move until ho returned nnd gave bur permission. Alter denying tbnl bis client was nt pres ent , or over bud boon , ollllcted with hysterics , ho stated that the man Hobnrts was the mathematical muster of a school nt Bath. A serious suggestion against Earl Hussoll was Involved in bis alleged relations with Rob erts , Sir Edward declared , nn I his wife could not feel otherwise than outraged and dis tressed by these relations. To show the brutal nature of Iho onrl Sir Edward cited nn Instance of how no used to drag cats about with strings around their nocks. Moro than once ho amused himself by throwing n cat nt the colling until bo bad nearly killed tbo poor beast. The countess remonstrated with tbo carl against this cruelty , wlirroupon the latter said it was necessary to "licit the cat into shape , " add ing : " 1 will lick you into shape if you don't inind. " When the countess objected to Roberts' presence In the house the carl told her to "go to the dovll. " Continuing , Sir Edward salt ) that tbo call was much upset by the prospect of the countess not having n child ; bo abused her for this and called her a beastly barren woman. Early In May the earl nnd counto s pro posed io attend a loveo. Tbo countnss cnmo to London nnd stayed at the Albonnirlo hotel. She laid out"tboclothes which tbo earl was to wear. When the earl arrived ho refused to allow a servant to dross him , nnd insisted that the countess should leave thu dinner table und como to their room and act as his valot. Wbon tboy returned from tbo levro ho nlso compelled her to attend to him. The countess was naturally annoyed that her husband should force her to perform menial BCrvIce. and told him she was sorry she had over married him. The earl at once rang the boll and told tbo servant who answered to summon Lady Scott , the countoss' mother. When Lady Scott entered the room ibo earl said : "Hero H your sacred daughter ; take her nwiiy ns soon as you llko , nnd you can go to tbo dovil.11 It was on h"r return at her husband's ' request - quest after their temporary separation that the countess was found ono night undo nnd in a fainting condition on thu lloor In the room occupied by her nnd the ourl.

When Sir Edward had concluded his address - dross ho called the llrst witness , ibis was the Countess Russell. She arose from her scat In tbo court room und made her way to the witness box. When she had Uikou her place Sir Edward proceeded to question bor. lie first asked regarding the prcsenco of the man Roberts In tbo house and the earl's visits to the room occupied by him. The countess stnted emphatically that she had romonslrntod with the enrl against these visits. Sir Edward then asked her It the cnrl gave any reason for sroing to Roberts' room. To this the countess made no reply , but said that the earl was moro unkind to her when Roberts was in tlio houso. Replying to questions , the countess said the carl had told her that ho kept a loaded pistol convenient and that ho would shoot her if she annoyed him. In reply to a question by Sir Edward the countess said that when sbo loft the earl she wanted him to kiss hor. Ho rofiuud with an oath. There was a general Uttering in the court room whqu , during the examination , the countess , in describing a quarrel that had occurred botueon herself and the earl , stated tbat the latter had rushed about thn room yelling nnd striking the walls with bis ilsta. The countess was attired in an elegant blue velvet dress. She were nn expensive boa about her nock and a lurga hat which sot aft her beauty to grout advantage. She dis played much modesty and ivas croatly om- barrassud by .some of tlio questions put to hor. To moil of the inquiries she responded in nn almoit Inaudible voice Lady Scott , the. petitioner's ' mother , who sought by her piesenco to add to bor daughter's courage m the trying position in which she wus placed , was also elegantly dressed , nnd over all she were n magnificent fur cloak. Shu occupied the tlmo while her daughter was giving her testimony by con tinual snining at a vinaigrette , The countoss' Bister , who sat bcaldo her mother , was wrapped from head to foot In furs , which even thu warmth of the court room could not compel her to romovo.

During the recital of Incidents of her mar ried life , Eurl Russell , who was sitting in court , frequently buried his face In his hands to hide bis luifilter. : His actions showed tbat ho felt no compunction for his treatment ot his wife ; In fact ho soamcd to think that the whole affair was a Una subject for mirth. Many of thu spectators whose minds were not confused by tbo high social standing of the earl looked upon him with disgust. Continuing her evidence against her husband , the countess lostitlod that when she was unwell , the earl summoned her to his study and called her a barren brutu and threw her to the door. Upon thq conclusion of direct examination by Sir Edward Clarke tlm witness was cross- examined by Sir Charles Russell. Ho opauod by asking tbo countess If sbo meant to malco any Imputation against her husband and Roberts. ' The witness replied with decision ! "Yes. " This answer , which wus clven with snap nnd vim , created a sensation m the court room. Tbo witness then Added that she had never mndtt n direct charge against either the earl or Roberta.

Tbo witness stated that the earl had shown her a letter ho had written to bis solicitor about her extravagances , Hho askM him not to send thu letter nnd to let bor take a copy of it.

At M MUST WAIT TWO MORE WEEKS No Report on the Bocdlo Matter Offered tha Council Latt Night , POSSESSION OF THE PAPERS AT ISSUE , Who'll Handle tlio Transcript of Tes timony DlHOnsscd at Intercut on Oily P llotitlno Mutters * The crowd that fllloa the lobby at last iikill's council mooting was sorely disap pointed , and nursing its disappointment tiled out of the uhambur and wont home. Contrary to the usual custom , no member attempted to streak the face of the palo moon with blood. The report of the commlttno appointed to Investigate the charges of buodlinir and sub mitting to bo Uoodlou preferred In con- unction with the furnitures deal was duo , but It did notcomo. Everybody was anxiously watting for the wise men to dispose of the routine business. At last It was concluded anil then President Lowry asked , "Aro thuro any special com mittees to report ! " Not Itpndy to Report. Mr. Ctmffcovas tha first man to respond , do detailed the fact that many weeks ago a special committee had boon appointed and told the subject that it baa bad under consideration. The testimony had benn taken and passed over to the chairman , Mr. Tuttlo. The committee had spent nearly all of Mon day nlu'lit In plodding tnrough the pages oft powritton evidence. Yesterday Mr. Chaf- fco had nskod the chairman for the ovldenco In order to make up n report and had been refused , fie wanted the testimony and also wanted time. Mr. Elsusscr moved that tlma bo granted. Mr. Tuttle stated that it was not piobablo that all of tbo members could look at the matter In the sumo light , and for that reason they could not all agrao upon one report. Ho had mot Mr. UhaiTco yesterday , and at his request bad taken tlio testimony to Mr. Chaffco's olllco. Ho coulU not stay and when he went uwav took the papers with him. him."That "That being tbo case. I shall stay with tbo chairman , " responded Mr. EUassor. Mr. Tuttle replied that ho did not have time to remain In Mr. ChufCeu's ofllco until ho and Mr. McLcarlo road tuo testimony and made up their report. Mr. ChalToo thought that the papers bo- lougod to the committee , and that any member had as much right to them as Mr. Tuttlo. Any member had n right to thorn long enough to malto up a minority report. Ho dlu not believe - liovo that the council wanted to shut out any of the facts , but II it did it bad tuo power to do so. Ho did not believe that any member hud demanded or received one cent of boodle , but if the council wanted to smpthPr the { acts it could. Who'll Got the I'npcrs Mr. Cooper of the committee was willing that Mr. Chaffeo should have the papers. Mr. Olson wanted fair play and wanted it understood that every member of the corn- mlttco had a perfect right to submit a report expressing bis views. Mr. Cbafluo remarked that he would oo called away from the city and would bo ab sent from the next meeting of the council. He could not report in less than two weeks. Mr. Olson moved that the tlmo bo granted and that the papers in the booulo cuso bo placed in { .ho naiids of tbe city dork , subject ro the inspection of any member of the com mittee. Mr. Cooper was of the opinion that it did not make much difference who held the papers , as they contained a lot of slush extending - tending fiom A to Izard. Mr. lilsassor opined that any member of the committee should bo entitled to the testi mony , but did not want tlio pauors taken ' into a dark room and then ti'nvo the report mado. Tno report should oo made 'in ' com- initteo of the whole. Air. Davis was surprised to think that the gentleman should advance such an idea. Mr. Morearty hoped the mutter would not drag. Since the investigation started It had boon a repetition of waits. Ho thought the idea was to put the matter over and have It disposed of uy the now council. Mr. Davis replied that if the gentleman knew anything ho know that tlio report was something over which the now council could have no Jurisdiction. Mr. Chaffeo promised to submit bis minor ity report at the next counyil mooting after his return. The motion for further time prevailed and the excitement was over. Interest on I ity KnmlB. The mayor vetoed the resolution providing for the sale of n portion of Twenty-ninth street , between Hnrnov and Halt Howard. Tbe sale , ho said , should bo a cosh transac tion , and tliat the exchange would result In a loss to the city. The veto was sustained. Bids for the deposit of the funds that will como into the baud ? of the city treasurer next year were then opened and read. They wore ns follows : "In accordance with the advertisement , the undersigned banks agree to pay interest on all city deposits , or deposits of the city treasurer ns treasurer of the Board of Edu cation , made with them , at the rate of 2 per cunt per annum upon nvorago balances cred ited monthly , upon condition that the deposits - posits shall bo placed and maintained with all of the banks hereto signing , in " amounts proportionate to each , ns" near as It may conveniently bo done , as Its paid up capital may boar to the aggregate paid up capital of all banks represented. " Tha signers were the First National bank , the Omaha National , the Merchants National , the United States National , the Commotclal National , the American National and the National Bunk of Commerce. Mr. Tuttle staled that In his opinion the matter looked like a combination , as all of the banks had Joined In one bid. Mr. Bechel thought the matter should bo referred to n special committee. Tnat was iho opinion of the members and the follow ing committee was appointed to confer with the banks : Messrs. Bechol , Davis , Os- thoff , Tuttle and Mr. President. Then o was one bid for city printing and one for furnlshlnc ice for the city during the next year. The bids wore rejected. W. W. Mace & Co. b d $ S.fiO on hay , 50 cents pur bushel on corn and 11 cents on oats , and James Stevenson bid f'j.OO par ton on bay , M cents per bushul on corn and -IS cents per bushel on outs for the horses in the Iho and police departments. Mr. Spcctu said that both of the bids wore outrageously high , and moved their rojeo- tlou. The motion prevailed and the comp- tiollor was Instructed to roadvortiso. Kor tlm Library Site. Mr. Tuttle offered n resolution ptovldlng for the expenditure of $18,000 for the pur- ctmsoot a strip of land fifty feet front and 100 feet deep , directly cast of tbo lot be queathed by tbo late Byron Reed for library purposes. The resolution was at the request of tlio Library board. The resolution was raforiod and wont with an ordinance that was road a first and second time. The ordi nance also provided for the purchase of the land referred to in the resolution. . Mr. Popploton explained that tbrea mem bers of tbo Library ooard bad purchased tbo land anil were willing to turn thq sumo over to the city without any profit. The committee on finance reported in favor of allowing Pat O'Hoarno $11-1 for services as inspector during the month of Soptomhor. Mr. Morearty explained that the Inspector had reported daily to the Board of Publio Works and at last had boon informed that there was nothing for him to do. Mr , Davis said that the chairman of the board bad failed to do his duty when bo al lowed the man to report day after day and still allow him to remain upon the nav roll. A man who "would do so was not fit to hold office. Sucb a course would bankrupt an individual. The report was recommitted" , and at the next mooting Of the council Chairman Dirk- bauser will bo called upon to explain.

After the closing of the produce exchange yesterday a well known Chicago grain operator briolly reviewed the corn situation thus : "Tho whoio facts of tbo case are just these : There has been a big demand for corn for expert - port during the isst thirty days and the White corner caused the supplies of old corn , which is the only ono that November con tracts could bo illled with , to full short.

As , Tooy IJagstock would say , "they are wldo awake and staring. " They want a public park , and they wont It in the right place. About ' . ' 00 of the promi nent property owners of the southeast part of the city mot last night at Mueller's hall , corner of Eighteenth and Viiiton streets , and proceeded to discuss the matter of ad vising the Board of Park Commissioners with reference to the most eligible land to bo selected for the southeast pnrk. Mr. Michael Donovan was elected chair man and Mr. John Hush secretary of tha mooting. Mr. Donovan opened tbo discussion by stating the cbjoct of the mooting. Mr. Hush spo.o briefly upon the subject of a southeast park. Ho thought that the Clarke tract near the corner of Eighth and Hancroft was a very nice pleco of land , but rather too far east for park purposes. Mr. IJjsh sala ho would uo satlsllcd with the choice of tbo people. lils Krspi-ctH to Clovolniul. Isaac Hascall then took the lloor nnd nearly everything else In sight nnd hold the boards for half an hour. Ho proceeded to pour out a vehement stream of ridicule upon the Clarke tract and upon the opinions of Landscape AicbHcct Cleveland , who had spoken highly of the Clarke tract. lie said tbat Mr. Cleveland know bow to make n posoy bed and run a road around It and up ono sldo of u ravlno and down.on the otbor sldo. Ho know how to throw a dam across the lower end of a ravine hiid if the plan didn't suit then ho could damn the ivholo thing. Mr. Cleveland could do all thobo things , but ho didn't know as inuoh about the location for n park in Omahit ns the citi/ens of Omaha did , thu speaker said. Mr. JIascall held tbat the Clarke tract was too tnr east , too low and too rough. Ho favored the Van Camp tract or land in that vicinity. Something west of Thirteenth street and not , far south of Vinton street should bo selected for the southeast park , Mr. Iluscall maintained. The Clarke tract ho held was out of tbo question. The poopto would not go to the Clarke tract if it was laid out , us a park. It would bo Inaccessible and clear out of roach of the people who resided in tbo south east part of the city. Aiiytlilii * ; Hut tlio Clarke. Mr. James C. Bronnnn was called out nnd expressed himself ns being opposed to the purchase of tbo Clarke tract. The park should bo moro centrally located , moio con venient for the citizens of the South side. .Tack Hey spoke in a similar strain. Ho thought that the old Hascall homestead nt the corner of Thirteenth and Vinton streets was tbo mObt suitable tract of laud in the city for a south s > Ido patk. Morris Morrison favored a central location for a park. The convenience and comfott of the common people , these who bad to walk from their homos in seeking recreation , should bo consulted , the spsakor said. Wealthy people who owned tboir carriages might dcslro to have the parks out In the suburbs , but the parks , ho thought , should bo laid out for tbo benefit of the masses and for the poor who had but few opportunities for recreation. Mr. Morri son thought that Mr. Ilivscall's land at Thirteenth and Vinton streets was very desirable. Ho also recommended tuo Van Camp tract and the Bogloy tract , south east of tbo. Van Camp land , as desirable tracts for park purposes. \ \ I nit tlio South Sldo Wants. Mr , John Hush .spoke a second timo. Ho said tbat tbo sentiment of tbo mooting ap peared to bo unanimously in favor of a cen tral location for a southeast patk. If any of thotlti/ens : of tbo south side were not in favor of n central location , they bad notcomo to Iho meeting. Mr. Hush held that the sentiment of the meeting must be taken us the sentiment of the citi/cns of the south sido. Ho then recited - cited the unjust treatment to which the people ple of the south side had been subjected for jours. Ho said that the south alders had never been fairly treated In the expenditure of public funds. Ho hoped tbo park commis sioners would not disregard the wishes of the people by locating the southeast park in an inaucosslolo quarter of the city. Mr. Hush advised these present to organi/.o nsortof south side kickor.i club similar to that of the Fifth ward , for the purpose of urging upon the city council the just de mands of the taxpayers of that part of tiio city. Ilo said the manner in which the outh side had been treated in the past wasslnuno- ful nnd sho'i'cl not bo longer tolerated. Otbcr speakers favored thn immediate or ganization ot a kickors1 or protestors' ciuu. Mr. Brennan said that it was shameful that out of $11)0,000 ) to be expended for parks tha south side should got but ? iH 000. Hans- corn park , ho said , was of no bonoilt to the south sldo. Fort Omaha would bo just us convenient for residents of the south sldo ns llunscom park. A resolution favoring the purchase of park lands east of Twenty-third , west of Tenth and south of Castollnr streets was then offered by Mr. Hascall 'and unanimously adopted. It was then derided to sccuro a list of petitioners favoring tbo sentiment of the resolution and present the saino to the park commission. The mooting then aljournod to meet next Tuesday night at the same place to comtiloto the organization of tbo South Sldo Kickers' club. club.Noaily 100 names were signed to the petition after the moating favoring tlio cen tral location for the south sldo patk , CAX l\K KI'iVltHI ) .

"I ought to know whom he Is nt preiont , " aid Dr. Mndloy lastovcnlug. "because I saw him less than nn hour ago , and ho was not at Bloomlr.gdnlu asylum. _ Ho U in a quiet pluco further up town than h'ls own home , nnd is still being cared for uy insanity experts. These persons who have m.ulo thn statement that Edward M. Field is not Insane would change their opinion at once If lliev could only see thu untortunnto man. It would tnaku their hearts blood If they could sco lilnisonic- tlmos. Ho is an old nnd cle.tr friend of mi no , as well as a paUcntund it almost brings tears to my oyol sometimes whan I see bis doptor- nblo condition. If bo were only uwuro of .some of Iho unpluumnt things that tire botng said about him I know ho would go raving cra/y. "It is n mystery to mo bow Mr. Field , dur ing the last three months , handled tha ex- tonslvo business of bis linn with such skill , but It appears that his Insanity made him all tbo more sbrowd.1' Cyrus \V. Field , jr. , who was soon by a re porter at his father's liouso last evening , do- nicd that there bad boon any conference nt tbo Field liouso on Sunday. His father was too ill on Sunday , bosald , to take part in any business transactions , and bo did not leave his bed during * ho entire dav. "My father Is conllnod to bis bed , my slstor is in the .sumo house seriously ill , mv brother is out of bis head , unit my mother baa Just been laid a way In her grave. Surely our misfortunes nro sulllclent for ono family , and I cannot understand why some people try to malto our bunion heavier. Tbo s-tatomoni that my father decided not to render any financial aid to my brother is ridiculous. I know ho Is perfectly willing to aid him in every possible waynnd huvo no doubt but bo will do so as soon is ho Is wall enough to attend to such matters. Simply because Mr. Morgan of Drexel , Moi-traii i Co. , George DeForest Forest Lord or anybody Iso calls to learn tbo condition of my father's health and leaves bis card , like hundreds ot other sympa- thi/int. friends , there Is no reason why a sen sational loport should bo made about It. It is extremely unpleasant to have it said that some of Inspector Bvrnes' detectives have boon watching the house , when there was not tuo slightest foundation for such a roport. " "In tbo meantime , " says the Tribune , "uncertainty exists ns to Edward M. Field's actual condition , its to bis legal responsibility for the irrogulaiitios tnat have boon made apparent by the SUSP nsion of tbollim , or , indeed , as to wboio fto now is. These com petent to speak continue to assert , that Mr. Field is insane. As to the form of manifesta tions of Insanity , and the part which it may have played in the peculiar business transac tions now being laid buro , there is a distress ing lack of dollnitunoss. An astonishing cle ment is the apparent lack of assets. The assignee yesterday deposited $ .100 in the bank nnd said he had boon told of u place wboro ? J,000 was duo Those uro tlio only assets of which ho has yet definite knowludgn , nnd any others that may exist ho thinks to be only amounts duo on small jobbing transactions. It has boon asserted tbat the linn had $1(1)0,000 ( ) or moro invested In tbo ptojoct for the consolidation of all the largo sugar plantations in Cuba into ono corporation. This was Iho private enter prise to which reference was made laat week In connection with the failure. The sugar planters were represented by Senor Do Mior , who has arrived in this city since tlio failure oftho firm. The project was about rcadv for completion. Charles W. Gould , the as signee of the linn , admitted yesterday Iho Ih'tu's connection with tr.o project , but could not suy what interest they hud in it. It was assorted , however , that the project would .still bo put into execution. If so , It is pos sible that a largo nssot for the suspended firm may exist there. " Assignee Giuld this afternoon siid : "Thoro is rc > ill > nothing now in the situation. I am bomowhat encouraged to Hud that things are actually looking bricht in some respects. 'Iho fact that there are no lago secrets ap pearing with claims , or that no ono in Wull street has applied , loads mo to think that the only sulTcrors uro the members of the firm , who huvo been victiml/.ed by Mr. Field. 1 am particularly soiry for Air.

A bold nnd suc cessful train robbery took place on the St , Louis & San t'rnnclsco road near Olondalo station , about ton miles from tins city , shortly before : 10 o'clock lust night. The robbers bad their plans well laid and they escaped with money and valuables amounting to $ 'iKW ) ( , possibly more. The Adams Express company was the vic tim and from the manner In which tbo rob bers did the Job It was evident that they had planned to inako a clean swoop of the express car. Tboy usoa dynamite with fearful ef fect , both on tlio car and on Messenger Mill- rotten , who had charge of thu car. Six men participated In the robbery. When tno train reaehod Old Orch ard It Is supposed four mon boarded the express ear. The other two , It Is believed , boarded thu train at Glen- dalo. Shoitly after the train loft Cilondnlu two ot the robbers miulo their way to the engine cab , and placing revolvers nt thu heads ol tbo engineer mid liromun , compelled tboni to stop tbo train , Tbe engineer com piled with nlncrity. As soon ns the train ciimo to a Htand still the engineer nnd lliomnn were taken to the express car. In the meantime the express mcssongor , who suspected something wrong , closed and bolted the doors of tbo car ami Blood inside ready to defend tbo property entrusted to his euro. But fate was against him nnd Iho poor follow now lies In a dan gerous condition at North Springllold. When the two robbers piloted the engineer and tirou > an to the car , tboy placed them tinder dor guard and tried to induce the messenger to open the door of the car. The latter wus obdurate. A stick of dynamite was placed against tbo ciir nnd exploded. In n miiitito another stick exploded nt the car door , which foil in. The robbers then entered the car. and tak ing tbo key Irom tUo messenger soon had the sufo open. orythlng In the sufo was taken and also the immcniicr's gold watch nnd chain , I'stlmatos as to the amount , secured vary widely , lunging from $ , ' ( ) , - 000 to WU.OtH ) , but noihinp definite is xct knoun on this point. Superintendent Damsel of the express com pany says it will bo several days before the ovnot amount can bo iiscortnlned. While the two robbers were doing the work at the express car the other four ban dits kept the remainder of the train ciow nnd passengers in n state of terror bv tbo constant fullsadn which they kept up all the while. Fourteen shots were Ihuil Into the smoking car , but fortunately no ono was lilt. On the south .side of the truck , about ISO yards from whe.ro the lobbory occurred , isi wagon road iiinning through n strip of woods. Along thn road the dotectlvos , who went to the sccno List night , found fresh racks of horses and a wagon coming toward St. Louis. Thu railroad ofllcUls believe ono of the obbLt-s was u railroad man , ns ho Is said to javo instructed tbo ( Iranian not to put anymore moro coal in the furnace. The only dcici lotion of the robbers ob tained is of the two that climbed into the engine. Ono of thorn was a young man , tail , with light complexion and heavy inii"tneho. The other hud n dark complexion , dark clothing , was about Ilvo foot sl\ inches , had a sinister looklnc eye und was very quick In notion. Both men \\oro light overcoats. The reports that the oostnl cur was nlso lenudod is erroneous , as authentic roport.s say that only the express car was nttuukod. Express Messenger Mtilrcnen Is said to lave been seriously Injured In the hip by the explosion and nattoicd about the head by thu butt ends of revolvers in the bunds oftho robbers. A largo posse is making a seaich lor the bandits. Nothing ii j et definitely known as to how much money was stolen by the robhers.
