Frank I ) . Ueapcr commenced suit in the
district court here yesterday for divorce
from hla wife , Anna Lenpcr. The suit Is of
more than passing Interest as It Is a sequel
to the somewhat sensational cose in which
Leaper nnd a young woman stenographer ,
named Alice Williams , were arrested In this
city and tried at the last term ot court on
the charge ot adultery , Mrs. Leaper being
the prosecuting witness for the state. The
trial lasted several days , a largo number
of witnesses on both sides being Introduced
nnd resulted In the Jury after being out a
considerable length of tlmo returning a ver
dict in favor of the defendants. Before
Leaper's removal to this city in the early
part of last summer ho and his wife lived
In a small town in Linn county , , near Cedar
llaplds.
In his petition Lenper alleges that his
wife has been guilty of cruel and Inhuman
treatment toward him , so much EO ns to
endanger his life. Also that she Is naturally
of a very Irritable and quick-tempered dis
position and that never during her marriage
relations with him has she nt any time
made any attempt to explain her quick tem
per , but on the contrary she has without
any Just cause cultivated and encouraged nn
angry and Irritable disposition towards
htm. Leaper claims further that his wife ,
judging from her conduct as manifested
towards him , has only feelings of halo and
enmity In place of love.
For his own side of the case , Leaper as
serts that ho has always tried to afford her
a good and substantial home , to care
abundantly for her welfare , to make her
homo comfortable and to have for her a
happy and pleasant household. His efforts
In this direction , however , he says , were
far from being appreciated by Mrs. Leaper ,
but that she on the contrary studiously
sought to make his home life miserable and
that at divers and sundry times without any
just cause would pack up her trunk and
leave home and remain away until such time
as in her good pleasure she saw fit to re
turn.
turn.Leaper
Leaper , as one of the particular grounds
on which his prayer for a divorce should
be granted , alleges that at divers and sun
dry times during their married life Mrs.
Leaper so far forgot herself as to threaten
in a vicious manner to kill him and told
him that she would poison him In n way and
at a time that he would not know of ; also
that she would terminate his existence In
such a manner that he would not know what
was the matter with him. Ho further alleges -
leges that during the month of February ,
1897 , while his wife was In one of her peri
odical fits of temper , she vented her spleen
and hatred towards him by throwing a
number of household articles at him ; that
In May of the following year she hurled
with great force a butcher knife nt him.
Fortunately her aim was poor nnd the knife
missed him , sticking in the wall behind. On
another occasion , he says , she "came at"
him with a butcher knife and declared that
she would cut his heart out.
Not wishing to lose that part of his anat
omy ho would feel obliged if the court
would grant a severance of the marriage
ties that at present bind him to Mrs.
Leaper. Ho also asks for the custody of
their 13-year-old son , Clyde , who was one
ot the witnesses for Leaper nt the recent
trial nnd who Is at present living with him
In this city. Mr. and Mrs. Leaper were mar
ried Mny 27 , 1S84 , at Anamosa , In Jones
county.

The Fifty-Ural Iowa Regimental band gave
nn excellent concert last night at the Do-
hany theater. The attendance was not such
as the entertainment warranted , the nudl- I
once chiefly consisting of a number of the I
members of Company L and their relatives ,
Despite the empty benches the soldier mu
sicians gave a splendid program of pa
triotic and classic music and fully main
tained the reputation the band had of being
the crack musical organization of the Eighth
Army corps. A. H. Covalt , who Is a Counj
ell Bluffs boy , and at one time a member
! of Dalbey's fnmoua band , demonstrated that
j he has few peers as a coruotlst , and H. L.
Davis rendered some very pleasing solos on
the piccolo , which showed him to be a mas
ter of that sweet instrument. The band
was frequently cheered when It played some
selection that brought to the memory of
the boys of Company L some Incident In the
far off Philippines. Drum Major Christy
has a tine tenor voice and his rendition of
"Barrack Pastimes" received a well merited
encore. The concert was brought to a close
1 with "Tho Star Spangled Banner , " at the
finish of which Bandmaster Uuidera received
a perfect ovation. The email audience Is
I attributed to the. fact that the concert was

It is learned tonight that Governor Shaw
will submit to the legislature the pardon of
but four life convicts. They are : Thomas
Kelly , sentenced in Lucas county in 1SSG ;
John Bellow , Webster county , 1S91 ; Cor
nelius Moelthen , Dubuque county , 1878 ; Jas
per Mason , Dallas county , 1878.
Fifteen life convicts petitioned for execu
tive clemency. Among them were the Halns-
berger brothers , who were sent to prison
from Hldora , and concerning whose expected
effort to secure n pansin from the legisla
ture much has been printed. John Wesle'y
Hvans was nlso another petitioner. He is
the boy -who killed his mother and father
when ho wns but 11 years of age. These and
the other petitions Governor Shaw deter
mined not to present to the legislature.
A curious looseness of expression obtains
In the law relating to the pardoning of life
convicts in Iowa. It provides that the gov
ernor shall not pardon such convicts until
t'helr ' petitions are referred to the legisla
ture. Every governor has construed this to
mean that the governor cannot pardon until
the legislature rctommends to him that
those whose petltfons are submitted to It
shall bo pardoned.'Hut the law plainly does
not require the executive either to await
the recommendation of the' legislature nor
to observe its recommendation ; nor does It
prevent the governor pardoning persons
whoso pardon the legislature refuses to
recommend. U is probable that an effort will
bo made to have the law made clearer.

DKS MOINES , Dec. 2 ! ) . ( Special Tok-
Kram. ) "Cyclone" Davis of Texas arrived
in the city today and is holding a conference
with General Weaver and other prominent
leaders of popiilltm In this state. Mr. Davis
explained the ohject of his visit to the
north. Ho declared the party leaders
realized that unless some concerted action
\va , $ taken at once with a view to amalga
mating the warring factions of the party , all
the prcatlgo and power the populist once
enjoyed would bo lost. Ho pointed to the
belters of the south who jollied In n move
ment In Cincinnati two years ago and de
clared this faction would never stand for an
endorsement of Ilryan for the presidency ,
"Tho situation at the present time , " he |
said , "Is precarious , i am visiting the north
In order to llnd out the feelings of the pop- ,
ullfctK in regard to holding a convention next '
year. We in Texas have not joined the j
belters , yet there Is a strong feeling against
Ilryan. What to do IB a question , although

SAN FIIANCISCO , Dec. 29. The steamer
Gaelic arrived here today from the Orient ,
via Honolulu. The Gaelic was sent to quar
antine owing to the plague scare , but the
cabin passengers were allowed to land , tow
boats plying between the steamer nnd the
city for the purpose. The Associated Press i
correspondent at Honolulu sends the followIng - '
Ing under date of December 23 : |
There have been no new cases of plague
since last advices. There have been several
sudden deaths and In each Instance rumor
assigned the plague as the cause. Investi
gation proved otherwise. On the inth the
quarantine over Chinatown was lifted and
business is now going on as usual In that
district. There have boon no deaths by
plague since the 12th Inst. Up to that time
five victims were reported. The Board of
Health now claims but two deaths were
caused by the scourge , the remaining three
cases being doubtful or suspicious.
'Chinatown Is being thoroughly cleaned.
A conwnlsslon of three has been appointed
to examine the district and report some
scheme to remodel the territory. The coun
cil of state will be asked to appropriate
$100,000 at once with which to carry out
the present plan of altering and cleansing
Chinatown In accordance with the plan of
the Board of Health.
After Its disastrous disappearance near

mulu out of a load of 330. The trip yas '
made In good tlmo and the animals are In
excellent condition.
Samuel M. Damon has returned after an
extended trip abroad. He has again taken

ing that ho bo relieved at once , and the

With a broken mainmast and piles of
torn rigging on its decks , the ship Eclipse ,
fifty-two days from Newcastle , arrived In
the harbor December 21. It was struck by
n squall or waterspout on December 2 , and
In five seconds Its mast hnd gone , thirteen
sails were split and one seaman , who was
aloft , was carried away so far from the
ship that he was never again seen.
The disaster to the Eclipse came from n
clear sky and in the midst of a calm. Cap
tain Peterson thinks that a waterspout
must have done the damage. The breaking
of Iron bars showed a storm of most re-
marknblo power. Iron bars four or five j t
Inches thick were twisted like thin \\lrf.
and thick pieces of iron were cut In two |
as If they had been toft wood. The captain
immediately headed for the Marlnquesas
Islands , where repairs were made. The
Eclipse is an American ship. H left New
castle on October 27 , with 1U)7 ! ) tons of coal ,

NK\V YORK , Doc. 2t. ! The moat interest- j
Ing Incident today in the. trial of Uolnml I- ) ,
Mollneux , charged with the murder of ,
Kathcrlne J. Admits , occurred during the j
-examlnatlon of Hnrry Cornish by Har-
atow S.Veelis , the defendant's counsel.
Weeks asked the w.ltucss to atop from the
stand , sit down nt the end of the table oc
cupied by the nttorncys for the state , go
through the performance of opening the bn-
tlo of liromo seltzer , show how he knocked
the contents Into the glass , how he poured
the wntcr from one glass Into another , boltiR
careful to get approximately the earno
amount of water that he used In the
preparation of the fatal dose on the morn
ing of the murder of Mr * . Adams. rornish
complied with the request and proceeded to |
demonstrate about how much he drunk of
the mixture , also about how much Mm !
Adams took of the poison. I
It was not until Weeks asked the wltnoRH
to drink the wntor In tills pantomimic re
production ot the scone on the morning of
Sirs. Adams' death that Recorder Oolt In
terfered. Weeks assured Cornish that the
water would not hurt him , but the court re
marked :
"This dumb show has gone far enough. "
AssiHtant District Attorney Osborne good
nnturedly told the witness to go ahead and
drink the water and the witness picked up
the glass with the remark :
"Well , I will drink It. "
At this point Recorder Goft again inter
fered with the Htatotnent that he would not
pormlt anything of the sort to take place |
In the court room. Oabornu said that while |
Cotnlsh did not like the tactics of the attorney - |
torney for the defendant , he had no objec
tion to drinking the wntcr , if allowed to dose
so by the court. This , however , the recorder
would not consent to.
Two of the most Important witnesses for
the prosecution were on the stand during
the day. They were John D. Adams , former
secretary of the Knickerbocker Athletic club ,
and Cornish.
Adams was the flrst witness called. The
most Interesting point In connection with j
his testimony today was his positive Identl- ]
Jlcatlon of the. handwriting on the poison
package as that of Mollncux' . The testi
mony of Cornish consisted largely of detailed
descriptions of the scenes on the morning of
the murder at the Adams flat. Recorder
GoFT refused to allow Mr. Weeks to ask
any questions as to the present whereabouts !
'
of Mrs. Cornish , the wife of the witness.
and why Mr. and Mrs. Rogers , the latter
the daughter of Mrs. Adams , had separated.
