Judge Thorncll yesterday rendered his de
cision in the spicy and sensational Meredith
divorce case. Tlio case has been on trial for
three weeks and tbo testimony forma a vol
ume of about 'J.500 page * of typewritten mat
ter. The plaintiff , Thomas Meredith , or
"Undo Tommy , " as ho Is familiarly
known , is n farmer politician well
known throughout Iowa. Ho is a man
ol much natural talent , but not greatly
cultured , Ilia peculiar manner of stammerIng -
Ing out in a quaint way bright bits of wis
dom and witty sayings bus helped greatly hi
pulling for him a reputation , and his enthus
iastic study and practice of politics has made
him a local leader In greenback and labor cir
cle * . Ilo Is now about sixty-six years of ago
and lives near Lewis , la. His property In
terests lire largo , to being worth $715,000 to
100,000.
Mrs. Meredith Is about thirty-nine years
old. She is a keen , well educated lady , and
before her mnrrlago to Meredith was a
school teacher In Avoca , where she had
taught for oK years sueeessfullv , she being
known by bur midden name , MIHS Helen
Harding , although she bad been married , her
llrst husband's uaino being Chambers. She
was wedded to him in Ohio , and she secured
a divorce from him on the ground of ueser-
tion.
In tbo early summer of 1S88 Mr. Meredith
was serving us secretary of so'ac labor organ
ization , nnd needed an assistant in the mail
ing of political literature and other clerical
work , ho engaged Miss Harding. Ho found
her very engaging , and matters progressed so
rapidly that in three weeks they were
wedded. "Unclo Tommy" was anxious to
wed , and hud been looking nround fora wlfo
fur some time , ami wbilo bo rushed along
tbo courtship ho seemed tu have n ling
ering suspicion that Miss Hard-
Ing wns more anxious to share his wealth
than his love. Ho once drew up a document
of release , but when ho presented It to her
for signing she appeared to bo heart broken.
Shu bunded him 50'cents and bndo him in
vest it in morphine , that she might take it nil
at ono dose and thus end an existence which
would bo miserable without him. That set
tled the inattor. lie Invited her to wed at
once and the pair proceed to the parson ,
barely taking time to change her dress and
do a little slicking up.
The honeymoon wns spoilt in a tr'p to
Europe. On their return they soonied to
have entered UDOII a scries of domestic trou
bles , which in the fall of ISSil led to a separa
tion. Ho settled upon her about Sllt.OUO of
money .mil property , and then bo followed
this up by a petition for a divorce , alleging
cruel and inhuman treatment. She tiled a
cross bill , setting up a like charge against
him , nnd asking for one-third ot Ills prop-
crtv , which who estimated at being ia all ut
least 110,000.
The testimony was of n very Interesting
nature , In spots , but was so long drawn out
and accompanied by so many details that
towards the close of the three weeks trial it
besnn to get njlttle chestnutty.
Judge Thorncll yesterday gave a deoree.
In granting the divorce bo allowed Mrs.
Meredith SI,500 anil WOO for attorney fees.
During tliu trial Meredith has baa to pay $250
for her attorney and aboutJlltX ) for witnesses ,
and besides these sums ho will have to pay
the cost.t , which amount to quite a sum. It
Is rather expected that Mrs. Meredith will
appeal the case , on the question of ulltnouy.

At fi:30 : o'clock la t evening Oflicor O'Brien
brought n very much desired individual to
tbo city Jail mid booked him without putting
nny charge against him. Tbo fellow wns
Frank Kane , who has along list of sins to
answer for , not the least of which was the
riot started by him wncu ho led a gang of bis
tough confederates ono Sunday night nnd
brolco up a mooting at the Filth avenue
Methodist church. On the sumo night ho led
a brutal attack upon a young man , whom bo
chased around the neighborhood threatening
to kill li'm upon sight. Later ho wns charged
with having set flro to the old building occu
pied by Mother Pike , who made her
somewhat notorious place the ren
dezvous for Kiuio and his gang of
toughs. Informations were llled in Justice
tlcndrlcks' court at the time and several war
rants were Issued and placed in the bunds of
special constables , but Kane hud left the
stalo. Homo time afterward ho was arrested
in u small town in Missouri for a minor
offuuso nnd tbo fuel was communicated to the
olllccrs here , but nothing was done on ac
count of the prosecution not desiring to go to
the expense of bringing the fellow homo.
A week or inoro ngo Kane returned to the
city. Ilo had not been in town a day until
bo'becaino intoxicated nnd created a disturb
ance ) on Olllcer O'Brien's beat. The olllcer put
the fellow under arrest without knowing who
ho was nnd started to the nearest patrol box
to call for the wagon. Before they reached
it Kane struck him a. violent blow on thosldo
of the head and escaped before be recovered
from Its effects. Kane again left tbo city ,
but the assaulted ofliccr has kept n sharp look
out for him. Yesterday afternoon Doputv
Marshal White saw Kane at a distance. In
the lower part of the city , and reported the
fact to O'Brien. A now information was
hurriedly llled in the superior court , charg
ing him witn resisting nn olllcer , ana the
warrant was given to the ofllcer who wns so
anxious to incut his assailant again. Deputy
White accompanied him , for it was known
that Kane was n desuorato character , The
two drove to the residence of Kane's mother ,
near Seventeenth street and Tenth avenue.
Ho was at the house and saw the olllccrs
coming , but before ho could get out of tbo
building ho was caught. Ho noted O'linen's
willingness to cncounigo him to resist a
little , nnd wisely concluded to glvo up.
Thoollicers of the Filth Avenue church
nro expected to como forward now and prose
cute the follow , ami uftor they get through
with him ho will bo called upon to answer
for his assault upon O'Brien. The city at
torney will be iisltcd to formulate charges
this morning , and ho will doubtless be glad
to hear the complaints of thu Filth avenue
people.

A Itnllronil Chaiisc.
Today a now order will go Into effect on
the Burlington road , which , If permanent ,
will work considerable change in certain di
rections. Hereafter no unlimited tickets will
bo sola between this city and Chicago. All
who want to make the trip must cither buy
their tickets subject to certain comll-
tlons Imposed by the company , or
else tultu nc vantage of the rights
of every frce-bon American citizen and go
Botiio oilier way. The main condition is that
thu ticket will enl > bo good ono day after
issue. The result of this will bo that the
Ilurllngtou tickets w'illnn longer bo found In
tbo bunds of the tlcko' brokers either In Chicago
cage , Council Bluffs or In any of the Inter-
mediate i whits , Horctr.foro the "scalpers"
have dona a llout'.suing business.
LThey were at llrst looked upon
bv the companies as a valu
able addition to railway circles , But little
by little they began to bo regarded with less
favor , aud now the Burlington Is taking this
decided step with a view to driving them out
of business.
Another change which Is made is the In-
crcnso of the rate between hero nnd Chicago
from SUM ) to12.75.
ftb \Vhnt the outcome of the new system will
bo it Is ns yet Impossible to tell. It would op-
pear that unless the other roads co-opernto
with the Burlington tlio scheme would fall |
lint. Tbo agents of the Hock Island , the
Northwestern nnd the Milwaukee roads wore
Isn
asked whether tbo companies which they
represent were In the deal , and the reply
In J ' each case was that tboy had heard nothing
of It. Ills stated , 'liowpvcr , that lnafow
days similar ardors will bo received from all
the companies , nnd that tbo I raising of the
rnto and the llmitatlou of the through tickets
will become general.

sideration of bills. A great deal of time wns

tween President Wright of the company nnd
the members ouer a difference in the amount

chievous boys. No definite action wns laken.

the interests of this vicinity , as the appro
priation was to bo used entirely In that part
of the river south of this point , Tlio com
missioners bad decided upon a plan of their

Said to Have Died ol'liis Injurlop.
Word was received in this city yesterday
that J. C. Terry , the Tyndall , B. I ) . , man who
suffered the frightful fall from the top of No.
: ) engine house wuilq giving exhibitions with
the Ilalght tire escape , had died from the ef
fects of the Injuries sustained in the unfortu
nate accident. Ho fell a distance of fifty
feet , striking on his head nnd shoulders on
the roof of n small shed nnd crashing through
it to the ground. Ho was severely bruised ,
but at the tlmo it was thought ho was not
seriously hurt. Ho remained in the city
several days , until Mr. Ilaight , the In
ventor of tbo device , caino hero
and took it homo. After reaching homo tlmo
developed the fact that ho bad received dan
gerous Internal Injuries , and several reports
were received to the effect that ho was in a
dying condition. Tbo last incssago an
nounced his death.
Ho wns n well educated and talented young
man , and after the accident evinced the most
heroic courage and indifference to pain , nnd
was very anxious to make another descent to
show that the accident was not duo to any
f null of the lifo saving apparatus ho was in
troducing. He had studied medicine , but
could nof practlco his profession on account
of fulling eyesight.

The Appraisers nr AVonr.
Ira F. Hcndricks , T. E. C'nvln ' and Oeorgo
Motcalf , the inrco appraisers who were ap
pointed in the Elsoman case , spent all day
yesterday in going through the stock accord
ing to their Instructions. They succeeded in
finishing up about two-thirds of the stock on
the llrst floor. This includes about half the
entire stock , aa shown by the assignee's re
port.
In the schedule of assets taken from the re
port of the assignee and published In Tin :
BKI : of yesterday morning nn error was mudo
that makes the assets show considerably less
than the renl amount. Among tbo items
scheduled were SOO shares of Central I'acllic
coal and coke company , the present value of
which was apjiralsed at $ " , ' . ! 30. This
amount was shown in the column of
assets when the footings only included
Slli.OOO , the original cost of the prop
erty. A similar error wns mndo in es
timating the vnluo of i50 ! shares of Silver
Mountain mining stock , which was quoted at
par value approximating $25,000 , but which
was only computed in the assets at original
cost'f.rKK ( ) , making the total vnluo of this
property shown as available assets. ? 21,000 ,
and the sum of the cntiro assets &if.ril5.71. :
If the estimated present value of the stocics
mentioned had been shown in the assignee's
report , the total assets would have been In
creased by the addition of jrr/'SO.

very vigorous in his remarks and defied
anyone to provo a blemish In his character.
"Tho same parties who are peddling this

ceeded In accomplishing but little today. The
alliance caucus failed to agrco on pages nnd
as u result the morning session of that body

No bills have as yet been introduced In the

will bn accomplished until tbo senatorial mat

The governors message submitted today
was not rend in the house , but was simply
ordered printed for the members.
This afternoon both bouses met in joint
session anrl listened to the tjovcrnor's mes
sage , which would 1111 nearly ten newspaper
columns. In his message ho refers to the
( act that the municipal indebtedness of the
state Is now above Wr.UOO.OOO. Notwith
standing the warnings contained in
every executive message for the past six
years , ho savs , this form of indebtedness con.
ilnues to grow nnd la worthy of serious legis.

ho report from Schuylcr in re-ranl to the

lie sarno contradicted. The following ro-
inrlts by Captain Deginan show the true
tate of affairs before leaving.
"I will venture to say , " said the captain ,
'that ' iiovcr was thcro n inoro cnthusinstlo
iid bravo company of boys \vlio left for tbo
lattlo Held than thoiu of comp.my 1C , so much
o that the suspense in waiting for trunspor-
atioa was almostunendur.iolo. Many wished
o stay on account of business affairs , but
10110 were afraid to go. Sonio of the boys
vho belong to the company nro clerks , get-
ing good salaries j some are proprietors of
iiislncss places , and tbcro nro three editors
nil ono typo. Notwithstanding nil those
xcuses , they mnruhcd boldly to the
rout. Thcro were only two In-
tances of what might bo called cowardlao In
he company. One of the boys was not of
igo and his mother objected to Ills polng ;
till it is doubtful whether ho woulit have re
mained nt homo were it not for * his mother ,
tid it is believed she feared more the cxpoi-
ire to cold than warfare with the Indians.
Tlio other wns , iu the opinion of the company ,
ustlllcd In staying ut homo , as he had lately
) ecn married and the separation froin his
oungwlfo foraalmU'lldltotlme would bo un-
) carable for both. Those two , for the reasons
ibovo set lortli , were excused by the captain ,
by actions , not by words. "
Colonel Hills visited the company's camp
ind delivered a very complimentary nildrcss
o the boys , in which ho set forth the
iccosslty of readiness for action , as it was
lot known what moment they might bo
called out to actual service. Ho s.iid the
iromptness with which the bovs of the bee-
md responded to calls verillcd his opinion of
heir bravery and lie was proud of having

reas'on to bellovo that the loud claims of a
peaceful settlement with the Indians her
alded abroad during the past twenty-four

lure. General Colby this morning received
the following dispatch from Colonel Cody
nt the agency : "Situation how un
changed , but can you not hold troops
nt stations on railroads until something more
definite con bo ascertained 1"
To ttilstho general replied that bo would hold
the thirteen companies not already moved off
the Hold ono day longer. Add to this In
formation tbo fact that reliable half-breed
scouts who yesterday and ns late
as last night talked with the so-called
nurrondercd hostlles who insisted that they
had not surrendered and that any attempt to
disarm them would bo met with reslstonco ,
and you will sec that tlio situation at Pine
Hlilgo Is still serious and far from a peaceful
settlement. In accordance with this latest
turn of affairs orders hiivo been Issued coun
tcrmandlng the orders by which the remain
liur force of militia would have today moved
from the frontier. General Colby this mornIng -
Ing hastened to the agency , presumably to
form a better Idea of the situation there.

With the ( JnntcM Case * .
Pir.uitr , S. D. , Jan. II. [ Special Telegram
to Tin : Br.n. ] Today bus been nn exciting
one In the houso. The loobies were crowded
throughout the morning mid afternoon ses
sion and every point of precedence closely
watched. The attraction was the contest
cases from Hrown county. For several days
the republicans have been making a de
termined light for the justice of their mem
bers' retaining their seats.
It was u hard fight between the two sides.
Both caucused nearly all last night. Tlio re
publicans ndniit that it was their defeat , but
claim that It' does not change the senatorial
situation materially. There seems to belittle
sentiment for any republican candidate ex
cept Moody , but this matter will como before
tbo caucus and bo decided there. If the re
publican chances of success can bo boat trust
ed In Moodv's ' liands.hu will bo the candidate ;
if not bomo ot tier combine , by the admission
of the two independents , Scattcrgood and
Bates , from liruwn county will have a
working majority. They claim that the
rights of the tun other contestants for the re
publican scats nro as good ns these and that
they will lull bo ( seated. Hut the coses will
have to go before the elections committee and
the republicans will make bard light to have
them decided on their merits.
The whole dnv was consumed In the dis
cussion and voting on the o cases. The re
publicans mndo a hard light to bo allowed to
bring in the balance of evidence , some of
which only arrived in tlio secretary of state's
onico today , but the speaker and the
majority were against them. The re
publicans complain bitterly of the sneaker's '
decisions and denounced him in unmeasured
terms. McConnaclc , republican from Hyde ,
voted with the opposition and Mclntyro of
Coddlngton , after entering a protest against
the independents for not allowing all the evidence -
denco to be brought In , voted with them. <
That it will hnvo an effect on
the senatorial election none deny. The
democrats confidently assert the election
of liartlctt Tripp , claiming that the
Independent caucus will vote for him
ns second choice. In view of late events
this is not altogether impracticable. The
two new members from Brown county were
sworn In and took their scnts.tho two con-
testees gr.icufullj retiring. Drown made a
statement of the case , say Ing that they bowed
to the will of the majority , and was compli
mented by the speaker.
A special train from Huron this morning
brought in ( jlcuson , independent of ivinu's-
bury , who voted with the republicans. To a
question of privilege ho stated on the floor of
the house that ho had twice been threatened
with personal violence ; that thuy might
shoot a hola through him , but could not
change his convictions. This created quite a
bcnsatlon.
The senate transacted no important busi
ness , tbo interest of the legislature centering
in the political aspect nf the house.
The Kyle bill prohibits the snlo of tobacco
nnd was referred to the committee on tem
perance.
Kittredgo's resolution for the Investigation
of the Brown county election frauds was
adopted without opposition.

CHICAGO , Jan. 1-i. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : Uii.J : Tbo foreign insurance companies
that have been doing business in this state ,
without state authority , nro about to have
their alleged rights severely tested. In

wealthy cotton mcrchan * at Yiuoo City ,
Miss. , desired to procure $ ' 200,000 , of Insur
ance on a largo amount of cotton ho'had
stored in n warehouse nt Yazoo. Unable to
get the Insurance ho wanted In Mississippi ,
he sent to Chicago nnd secured the desired
amount from tbo Citizens' ' Mutual of Iowa ,
tbo .Pacific. Fire of Oregon , the Buckeye
State Mutual of Ohio and the Ohio Manufac
turers' Mutual flro insurance company. On
December 28 of that year a llro destroyed the
cotton. I'owcil demanded his Insurance ami
was met with the rejoinder from tlio com
panies tti.it ttiey hud not thu legal right to
do business inthis state , and therefore
the Insurance was void. 1'owell , through his
attorney , K. H. Oary , commenced suits to
recover. The companies demurred to the
declarations and Judge Anthony promptly
ovonuled them , but thu defendants came in
with now plcHS and desired to submit new
authorities. Judge Anthony said ho would
review them. The matter will como up again
