2 HUBBY CAN'T LOSE HER A GRITTY TAK HEEL WIFE FIGHTS A DIVORCE SUIT IN DAKOTA. BUT SHE CONSENTS FOR SIO,OOO Mr. If id well Ottered Her $*,500 to Agree to the Separation but She Re fused to Take Less Than a Round $10,000.-Mrs. Hid well Followed Her Husband From f ranklin, N. C.,to Dakota, Later to Massachusetts Thence Back Again to Dakota. Special to the News and Observer. Fargo, N. D., Sept. 19. North Carolina and a large num ber of the people of the South will be interested to learn that Mrs Bid well, a gritty woman, has caused a sensation in the divorce colony of the Dakotas by acknowledging her willing ness to allow her husband to secure a divorce decree on the payment of SIO,OOO. He at first offered her $7,500, but she held i ut for the extra $2,500 to the end that success perched on her banner, though the sum is paltry when the pater has a fat pocket book. She will now' exert no more effort to defend the action and the divorce will in all probabilty be granted on the grounds of desertion. The home of this couple was Franklin, N. C. Bidwell came here ten months ago and made preparations to get a di vorce under the resident line of proced ure. His wife was a trifle too brilliant for him, however, for, when he least ex pected it, she bobbed up serenely, hav ing traced him, with the skill of a de tective, all the way North. She con fronted him in court with her attorney and asked for $l5O lawyer’s fees and sls a week alimony. Here Bidwell —millionaire that he i.> — sprung of little game of his own. He had the hearing on the order adjourned and slyly packed his goods together and walked over the bridge to Moorhead, where, under the Minnesota Laws, he was safe from his wife's Remands. He did not remain long there, though, skip ping out in a day or two. Mrs. Bidwell’s wits worked with singular regularity and she followed him across the country, alone and unaided, to Spring field, Mass. Here he avoided her re turning to Fargo by a coup de etat. Mrs. Bidwell was also equal to the occa sion. She happened to return to the city about the same time. Seeing that he could not down the brave little woman, he went away again, offerring his wife $7,- 500 before band if she would allow him to proceed without contesting the case. Negotiations have ever since been conducted from afar with the result told in the foregoing. Some few weeks ago Mrs. Bidwell found herself here without a penny. With womanly spirit she advertised for a situation, and has since been working as a hou3e-maid for one of the select families, and now every one who rings the bell invariably asks after their de parture, “Who is that dignified woman that waits on the door ?’’ They do not know it is the wife of a millionaire. THE SILVER CONVENTION. A Little Chat With Ex-Congressman S. 11. Alexander. Greensboro Record. Ex-Congressman S. B. Alexander was asked if he would attend the silver con vention at Raleigh. He replied that he would be unable to do so, but said could he be carried back about thirty years, when he felt “quick ' and devilish,'"' he would certainly like to be present and have some fun. “How they are going to proceed I can’t see,” said Mr. Alexander. “The is for a non partizan convention on a strictly partizan subject. A good par liamentarian could have great sport with the body, for when a speaker gets up to speak on the subject for which the meet ing is called, that is, free silver, the point could be raised that the conven tion being non partizan and a man speak ing on a partizan matter would be clearly out of order,” Mr. Alexander, as is well known, is a strong free silver man and expressed the the hope that something tangible of great benefit might accrue from the meeting, yet he seemed to be at sea as to how such a thing could be done under the call. RANSOM OF PAPAL ESTATES. Negotiations Said to Be Foot Between Vatican and Qairinal. London, Sept. 18.—Discussing the re vival of the rumor that Italy may be in duced to sell a small territory to the Pope, a Paris correspondent telegraphs that the project for the Pope’s ransom by the Catholic world, which is de scribed as “a noble American conceit,” is no secret in the cabinets of Europe, which have been in possession of the de tails of the plan. It embodies, in addition to the estab lishment of the papacy in a principality, with its own seaport, certain naval privi leges ana the restoration of confiscated church property. Negotiations are said to be progressing between the Vatican and the Quirinal. Money lor the Baptist I diversity. Clinton Democrat. Mr. <>. L. Stringtield was here this week in the interest of the Baptist Fe male University at Raleigh. Hit preached a strong ser. wit at the Baptist Church on Sunday morning, and lectured at night on female education. He had large audiences at both times. His address sparklet! with humor that frequently convulsed the house with laughter. A considerable amount was subst rilred here to aid in building a University for the Baptist girls of the State. An Emphatic “No.” Moruanton, N. C., Sept. 19. To the Editor of the News and Observer: I am in the midst of a revival meeting just now, and have no time to write as you request. To the question, “Is the church the enemy of liberty ?” My answer every time would be an emphatic “no.” Truly, R. L. Patton. CONSUL WILLIE P. MANGUM, Enjoyed a Similar Honor to the One Conferren on Minister Ransom. ' Durham, N. C., Sep. 19. To the Editor of the News and Observer : lii your paper of to-day you say: “President. Diaz has appointed Minister l Ransom Arbitrator in the Mexican-tfua ' temalan contention * * * We do not recall another instance in which an honor of this character has been con ferred upon another North Carolinian. Willie P. Mangum, Jr., was a gradu ate of the University of North Carolina. Class of 18-18. On t-lie 27 day of March ’6l he was ap pointed ConsuTto Ningpo China. In the spring of’64 he was transferred to the consulate at. C'hin-Kiang. On the 18t h of March '65 he was appointed consid at Nagasaki. Japan and on the Ist of Feb nary '67 he was appointed vice-consul at Shari ghia. On the 28th of February, '74, he was chosen sole arbitrator in the case of the “Takashima Coal Mine,” a case involv ing the many intricate opposing views of those nationalities, Japan, Eugland and Holland. It was agreed by them to leave it to three arbitrators. On open ing the letters by the respective minis ters at the British Consulate at Kana gawa, it was found that each had chosen him. He settled the matter satisfacto rily to all parties. It will be hard to find another instance of this kind. lam proud of this distin guished honor conferred upon my es teemed friend and class mate, Willie P. Mangum, J&, On the 29th of March, 'BO, ho was transferred to the Port of Tien IN in in the north of China, where he died the 11th of February, 1881. He now sleeps in the Congressional cemetery at Wash ington City. Peace be to his ashes, and tied bless his memory. N. A. Ramsey, MR. LOCKHART OPPOSES IT. Thinks the Silver Convention Will I)i - member Democratic Organization. In reply to the question as to what he thought of the convention, Hon James A. Lockhart, member of Congress from the Sixth District, said to a reporter of the Rocket: “I am for the free coinage of silver, as the North Carolina Democracy has re peatedly declared itself—as the Demo cratic Convention at Chicago declared itself, according to any fair interpreta tion of the declaration there made; but I’m not in favor of the convention called to meet at Raleigh. I can see no good results to come from it. I’m a Demo crat upon other questions as well as sil ver coinage, and the two other parties invited to be there are not Democrats and are not for free coinage of sil ver. One is Mr. Sherman’s party, and the other is the fiat paper money party. Neither cares for nor wants free coinage, and all of their efforts are to destroy the only party that can ever give the country a good money system based on the free and un limited coinage of gold and silver. Why, I see in leading Populist papers this say ing: ‘There is no argument that can be used for gold that can’t be used for sil ver, and there is no argument that can be used against gold that can’t be used against silver.’ Every observer of the question knows that Populism and its financial theories discard and reject me tallic money. The tendency of the influ ence of the Raleigh Convention is to further scatter and dismember Demo cratie organization—that is, the reason the leaders in the two other parties fa vor it. Tne Democratic party has too many sacred principles of free govern ment, and they are too firmly rooted, for one defeat of those who follow its flag to rout and stampede them and cause them to abandon their time-honored princi ples. We’ll stand square. The people will yet be with us, as we know now, we are with them and for them.” THE WALDENSIANS ALL RIGHT. They Have Found a Friend who has ! Done W onders for Them. Charlotte News. A News reporter had an interview yesterday with a philanthropic lady from Asheville who has interested herself in the Waldensian colony of Burke county and who, by the way, has been doing something practical in the way of their relief. First of all, she has succeeded in enlisting the interest of John Wana maker in the colony, and through him they are to have the services of a farmer who is to teach them the best agricultural methods of this country. That has been one of their needs, for the system here and at the r old home is an entirely different one. They are to be given a practical stait in this direction and are also to ge given a start in the growing of apples peaches-, small fruits and berries. The lady ot whom the News speaks, has been with the Waldensians for some months past and says that in all respects they are a model people. She not only wants this colony to thrive, but wants to bring others here. They are moral, honest, upright and industrious, and all they have needed is for some hand to give them the right start. Good Mullet Fishing. Newborn .Journal. Mr. J A. Pittman, Mayor of Swans boro, who has been up to Newnern a few days, speaks of the mullet catches around Swansboro. Many are caught, and they are of the finest quality. About a hun dred barrels were takeu one day at Brown’s Inlet, near that place. Mr. V Sidbury, one of the well known farmers at Stump Sound, came up on the 18th to spend a short time iu the city on business. Mr. Sidbury does a little fi-h --ing during the mullet season, and he also has had splendid success. On Saturday, the 7th inst., he went out and caught eighty barrels. The Saturday before that his “fisherman’s luck” was even better. He caught 150 barrels at one haul. They sold for over SSOO. Mr. Sidbury sold $420 worth of them himself, and the hand sold about a hundred dollars’ worth more. This was a fine day’s work. The seine which Mr. Sidbury used was two hundred yards in length.
