WOMAN'S WRECK Of a Family That Was Once Believed to be Happy. A Divorce Case In Denver Which Wll Interest Omaha People In Many Ways. The subjects of the following art ! clo are well known in Omaha. Mr Sperry wtii for some time in the liv cry business hero , a clerk in the poatotllco , a councilman and deputy sheriff. Ho also resided in this city until ho reo jived the appointment o post trader. The article is from the Denver Tribune of Saturday morning and runs as follows : The taking of tliu depositions o witnesses for the plaintiff in the son- national divorce suit of Sperry vs Sperry was concluded yesterday morning before Sam Mi1 ton , commissioner sionor , and the sealed testimony sen at once to the plaintiffs attorneys ii Ytmkton , Dakota. Several additions witnesses wore examined , their test ! mouy all being to the effect that Mrs Sperry had lived with Daniel Grot ; ory as his wife , and had booi married to Gregory , the tranaactioi having been , it is alleged , illegal in n double sense and that both hud boot guilty of other t-roBs { regularities which would hardly fit either for a place very high in the religious 01 hooial circles in which the woman hiu once moved. Mrs , Willoughby , who came down from Morrison , tcstifiec that Gregory and the defendant hai formerly roomed ut her house , living together as mar. and wife. Julius Levy stated that Mrs , Sperry admit ted that she wrs Gregory's wife when the latter was in jail charged witl rape. All stated tliat aho claimed to have been MAKItlKD TO OKEdOHV by Justice C. S. Eyntor on the 14 tl of November , 1880. Stephen B. Hudson's testimony was similar to his confreres. Detective Joe Arnold related latod the fact of the arrest of Urcgory when ho found them together on Chatham street occupying the same apartment. In reference to the pri vate character of Mrs. Sperry the wit ness states that oho was a complete wreck mentally , physically and mor ally , and had boon living in n tout with Gregory somewhere in the sub urbs of- the city. Witnesses stated that she drank continually and to the moat frightful excess ; that her asso ciates wore the lowest of the low , and that from being the happy and loved wife of a prosperous and influ ential man she had sunk to the slums where the street had almost become lior homo and the gutter her bed , all through her own infatuation and fool- hardiness. She told ono of the witnesses thut she had tried Sperry for twenty years , and was now determined to stand by Qrogory. After the examination a Tribune reporter mot a former friend of Mrs. Sporry's , who know all about lor lifo and waywardness. The story Df her lifo lifoHEADS HEADS LIKK A UOMANOE , or a page torn from a story of the ilums of Now York or Paris , and .cachesnothing if it does not teach the fatality of the cup which u woman > uts to her lips when she turns aside rom the pith of duty and turns from ho calm but happy light of homo to .ho forbidden fruit which hangs on jithoraido. Twenty-eight years ago , on the 1st lay of October , 1845 , at Nuslmu , Now Hampshire , Angelina 0. Sperry , was married to her present husband , vho is now applying for a divorce , [ t was a notable event in the little tillage when Angio Fuller was mar ried to Charles 0. Sperry , the promi- lent Boston merchant , Sperry had a jnuich store in Nashua , and there ho not Miss Miller. She was young ind pretty then and a favonto in the ittlo town. Sperry was burnt out , wico in Boston , and in n day when Ires were not so profitable as they ire now. Ho tool : his family west to Dinalin , where ho took a position as noiioy order clerk in the postodico , ind soon began to retrieve his for- .uno. His wife was n leader in lllllt OWN HOL'IAL C'lHOLU hen , ovury Suuday she occupied her > ow at Trinity church and no ono vould hnvo guessed the and denoue ment which has since brought her to i hovel and u nameless relationship with an unworthy man. Speny Hgain engaged in merchan- Ji/.ing , nuulu money , mid was finally ippomted Indian ngcnt nnd post tmt- ur at Yunkton , DAutn. Hero his rife mot nnd became infatuated with iis clerk , Daniel Gregory , a common ooking fellow whoso occupation ever linco has never boon above the grade ) f tliu most common laborer , and ran iwny with him , coming by way of Dmiiha and Kansai City to Denver , L'hu couple arrived hero two years ago n June , and have been hero over linco. From IIKUK TUB HTOUY HASTES upidly to her downfall and dograda- ions and is given as nearly as possible n the rolator'a own language : "Before Mrs. Sherry left Yunkton ihn ordered over $1,200 worth of Irosses and line underclothes and had hew charged to her husband. But 10 improvident were they about noney matters that she had to pawn lor watch in Kansas City to got money .o pay George's faro to Denver. On lor arrival hero her sister paid her jxtra freight on her baggage , nnd she went to the house with "Dan" and .hat inevitable dog Prince , with a sere eg , which is always with her , " "What were her habits herol" "Sho laid drunk on the iloor from morning until night beside the dog , ind Gregory was not much bettor , The moat horrible things are related of both of them. The woman would DO OUT TO THE SALOON about 10 o'clock at night and got more whisky , and she and Gregory would lay around the room from morning antil night. The couple moved rap- dly from place to placo. They had rooms for a time on Champa street , : hey boarded with her outer , they boarded at the Tauoy house , and at the illiams house- and I don't know ho w many other places. Gregory drov a J.Iordic coach for a while , and for time was employed to drivi a street sprinkler. In fact ho di ( any little odd job ho could lay hi hand to. Finally this other troubl came , and Gregory was arrested for rape. In the expose of their private relations which followed , Mra. Sperrj thought it would bo better to get mar ried to Gregory. Now comes the pe culiar part of the affair They won before 0. S. Eyster , then and now nn ex-justice of the peace , with their at lornoy , a prominent young member o the Denver bar , and the justice mar ried ( ? ) them on the DAY HE WENT OUT OF OFFICE. "In regard to this matter nnd otho things connected with it , " continue ! the Tribune informant , "I can prom iao you some sensationa' ' development before many days. Things occurro < about that time which would stir U ] the indignition of every roapcctabl person in Denver if they were pub fished. ' "Where is Gregory and the woman now ? " 'Mrs. Sperry is living in a room in a little hovel at 31 South Twolftl street. I aaw her on the street to day , a wreck of her former self Gregory is working on Doctor's ranch , about three miles from the city ; ( is a common 'dock hand/ turn ing his attention to cow punching or digging post holes , whichever oomcs most convenient. The couple lived in a tent on the ranch for a while but I expect they thought they hm better separate , pending the trial o this suit. " "What kind of a looking man is Gregory ? " "Ho is a tall , ungainly man , witl rod side whiskers and a long neck Ho dresses coarsely in overalls , and ' . do not see how any woman could over admire him especially Mrs. Sperry whoso husband was a very fine look ing and genteel man. " IIKH DBFENKE. "Mrs. Sperry herself , " the relater continued , "told mo that are did no care anything for Gregory , bu wanted to uao him. She expect to prosecute her husband for selling liquor totho Indians on the reservation tion , a penal offense She claims Urn she left because her husband wa guilty of improper irregularities wjtl hi npico , Georgio Sporry. Georgio has since , howovoi ? , been married to their son Harry , who is now Indian agent in his bro'hor's place , as the law provides that only men of family ma ; hold that position. When Mrs Sperry hoard of this marriage she called the curses of high heaven upon her husband , who had thus covorct up his shame , she claimed , in his son' dishonor. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

V Royal Dry Goods Paliico Opened Up To-Day. It does not look as if the recent triko had frightened capital away rory far from Omaha , but rather as if t demonstrated thut the Omaha citi- .ons instated on being paid enough to jo able to dress well , as well as to jeep the wolf from fbeir doors , This s suggested by the fact Unit ono of ho neatest and most complete stocks jf goods to bo found in the city wiia Saturday opened at No , 1307 Farnani itroot , Henry Dohlo's old aland , by n jouplo of well known Chicago dry ioods men , Messrs.

In a few days they will make still 'urther improvements in their quar- era , as they have a now elevator on its way from Chicago , and will make iccess to the nocoud and the third loom easy. Vfo wish the now firm all luccoss , and they will undoubtedly win it. SMITH ON DECK. The Wheeler & Wileon Agent on His W y to Omaha. Something Now Aoout the Bobbery Racket , nnd Another Sldo to the Embezzlement Story. Sidney Smith , the runaway genera agent of the Wheeler & Wilson sow itig machine company , is by this time on his way to Omaha from Little Hock , Ark. , where ho was arrested ot a telegraphic request last week , Dep uty Sheriff Crowoll went after Smitl on Friday , and , it is expected , will return turn with him this evening. The statement in TIIK BEB that Smith was acting as the agen bf the company-ill that city wa partly incorrect , owing to the mistake in the dispatch aom from Little Bock , Smith was en gaged in the sale of Wheeler & Wil son machines , but as a canvasser for the agent , wheae name is llobbins. It appears that the company have been cognizant of Smith's wherea bouts for some time , but have contin ued to watch him until some facts could bo arrived at which would es tablish a case on the charge of ombez- E'emont. The amount for which Smith is claimed to bo a defaulter is not known , nor can it bo until the ac cused man produces the books which have boon missing since his depart ure. These books will enable the company to learn their exact loss. Among the diuses for Smith's defi cit is the robbery , which ho claimed to have suffered about five weeks pre vious to his departure. At the time th's robbery was alleged to have been committed , some doubts existed con cerning the actual occurrence , but af ter developments show that Smith was doubtless victimized to the tune of two or three hundred dollars. Ho was known to have drawn $500 from the bank in the afternoon for the purpose of paying for certain fur niture and carpets which he had put into the now office rooms in the opera house block. Instead of paying the bills mentioned , however , his evil guniuH , whisky , got the bettor of him und by night ho was wandering around in the neighborhood of the dives on Tenth street , between Doug las and Dodge streets. Ho was in veigled into one of the dives , whore a notorious colored woman known as "Slick Sal" hangs out. How long ho was there it is not known , but the city agent of the company states that Smith came to the office about 2 o'clock in the morning and said that ho had been robbed. Al though ut first not definite as to where he had been "touched" at length his head cleared enough to enable him to remember whore lie had boon. He then alleged that this "Slick Sal" had invited him into her place and had given him something to drink , after which she told him to lie down on the couch and go to sloop. He did so and , while asleep , was faintly con scious of somebody's going through him , but was unable to move or pre vent them. After awhile ho aroused himself ind went out and steered for the office. While on the way ho found ; hat all of his money except $50 had loon taken , but ho had iorgotte * where ho had boon. When he finally recovered his mind ho insisted that ho md been dosed and the money taken 'rom him by the negro woman referred o. One of Smith's friends investigated ; ho matter as thoroughly as ho could m the following day , and discovered .hat the negro woman had skipped ) Ut , but where aho had gene no ono vould toll. It was afterwards dis- jovored that she had gone to Sioux. 3ity with a negro gambler who was lor "solid man , " and that they t > 'other had spent most of the money hero. This unfortunate affair is stated by in employe of the office to have made smith very despondent and ho scorned o have entirely lost his grip. The tflairs of the office went mphazard and three weeks lipped along without Smith's uaking a report. The result of this viia the change of agents. Smith's if tor disappearance has boon pub- ishod heretofore , nnd the particulars if it are familiar to TIIK HUE readers. .t is expected that when Smith is ox- iminod ho may have some inter- sting statements to in alto cncorning other parties who voru in the otlico under him some imo ago. The general opinion of hoao who know the urrcatod man > est is thut ho did not intend to do- raud the company , but that when ho vug "touched he tried to make it up > y extra sales , and then , being re- noved , resolved to skip out und taku ho books with him , in order to leavu ho aflair clouded as much ut possible. BURGLARS MAKE A HAUL. "ho Residence of John Little , the Grocer , Robbed of $250. Valuable Gold Watch , Jewelry and Money Taken. A well executed burglary waa com- nittod Saturday night upon the house f John Little , the grocer , on South Nineteenth street. A gold watch of aluablo workmanship and highly irizod because of its associations , two old breastpins , a pair of heavy ' gold leovo buttons and about $50 in cash rero stolen , The entrance to the house was iflbotod through a front bay window , vhich waa loft unfastened , BO that the mrglora easily pushed it up. The lour of the burglary is put by Mr. Jittlo at about 4 o'clock , as ho had men up about every hour previous to hat time to attend to ono of his child- on who waa ill. When ho finally ank to sloop it waa to slumber very oundly , and the family did not iwukon until late in the morning , Whether chloroform had been used or lot ho waa unable to tell , aa the odor of medicines i.i the room had Destroyed the possibility of detecting it. _ When Mr. Little began to dreas he discovered first the Ions of hU pocket hook , in which ho had * bjut 850. Ho then iniaaed hi ? wr.tuh. It had been in his vest , which hung over she bed. The watch chain had been cut and a part of it was still attached to the vest. Further investigation revealed - vealod the leas of two fine gold breast pins belonging to Mrs. Little and her husband's heavy gold sleeve buttons. Ono of the breast pins had an ame thyst stone and the sleeve buttons also contained nmothyat. The burg lars had left no tracks or other evi dences which might lead to their de tection , and the only way in which to catch the thieves will bo through the stolen proprrty. OlUcera are working up the case. THE UNION SPY. The Open iuj ; Night of the Grand Military Drama. Other Dramatic Events Near ntHaud On Saturday evening the final rehearsal - hoarsal of the grand military and spectacular drama , the Union Spy , which will bo presented for the first time this evening ut Boyd's opera house , took place in that temple of Thespis with most satiafactory results. This drama has boon iti course of preparation for several weeks , under the supervision of Colonel E. 13. Tempe - po ! , the author , and is produced under thi3 auspices of the Grand Army of the llopublic for the benefit of the widows' and orphans' relief fund The caato has boon Well and carefully ' chosen aud the training thorough and constant. The consequence is that the rehearsal itself waa u splendid entertainment , mid with all the stage accessories , acoitic eifects and tableaux which will be added ut the regular poformanco to-night it will bo ono of the most ex citing and thrilling plays over seen in Omaha. Col. Temple has donn some sploi > did work for the boys of Custer post , and it cannot but result in a great suc cess financially. The appearance of a battallion of regulars in the flag pres entation scone , the battle scene and the scene in the Andoraonvillo prison pen , will each call forth the heartiest admiration , and the tableaux and battle in which the mimic gun-boats appear and shell the woods are moat effective. Col. Temple is himself an actor of rare ability , and ho will bo well sup ported in all the parts. The securing of special low rates on all the railroads loading into the city will secure the attendance of a largo lumber of visitors from abroad , and ; ho entertainments of Monday , Tues- lay and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinees will be all too 'ow to accommodate the crowds who will desire to BOO "Tho Union Spy.

" ' 'We have heretofore recorded our : onviction of this gifted actress and pretty woman. In her line she is lonpareil , combining the frolic and : hic of Lotta with the archness of Charlotte Thompson. We know no ictress who could combine so much is does Miss Pixley , and wo are sure jur public will welcome her appear- xnco hero on next Thursday night. " TOM KKKNJJ. On Friday and Saturday evening md in matinee Saturday afternoon , .his great tragedian will appear at Boyd's , playing Macbeth , Richelieu , ind Fool's Revenge. An exchange ays : "Keone'a conception of the ambi- ious Macbeth , like everything else , hat Mr. Keene does , is full of strik- ng originalities. The Thane of Caw- lor as presented by the tragedian , is i man of singular nobility , goaded on o unnatural deeds of blood by his ust for ambition , but with a moral weakness which palsies his purpose. Macbeth , when ho has pained the hrone , is tortured by the memories > f his crime. The portrayal of the sonflicting emotions of the character jy Mr. Keene is.said to bo the acme ) f stage art. In the final soouo of the ilay , a prominent critic says , 'Mr. veono's Macbeth is the incarnation if despair. Like a lion driven into a over , ho turns upon his persecutors , glits with terrible energy , and dies nest effectively.
