G Blame, Jr., lias allowed his divor

young wife will be granted a legal
sepration iuall probability on Wed
nesday. This will clos" the long
and interesting fight that Mrs.
Blaiue has made for absolute free
dom from her husband.
' Apparently young Bla'ue will not
be sorry at the outcome of the pro
ceedings except iu the par.iculais.
He and his father's family were
exceedingly anxious to have custody
of the child, James (i Blaine the
third, and the husband has kicked
vigorously against paying his di
vorced wife alimony mid fees for her
counsel. In both these respects he
is likely to be vastly disappointed,
for the mother will boubtless keep
her little boy and jet considerable
alimony.

THEY WEKE SEASHORE LOVERS.
In the summer of 1SSG, Miss
Mary Nevins, one of the handsome-
est girls of Pittsburg, Pa., went to
Bar Harbor, Me., for the season.
The Blaines have a ottage at that
resort and young Janus was eorm a
slave to Miss Nevins' charms.
After a brief courtship, the sea shore
lovers were married in New York
city in September, 1SSC.
It wa3 generally known that
S cretary of State James G Blaine
and Mrs. Blaine were much opposed
to their sou's marriage. However,
the newly-made husband took hi-
bride to Pittsbursr, and jii.th his
salary as a reporter, and an allowance
from his father, he managed to keep
up a comfortable home. The young
man is possessed of a roving dispo
sition and he soon took his wife to
Xew York city. He was a reporter
there, bu', his father stopped his
allowance. Then lie went into a
bnjker s odice, and shortly afterward?
his parents got control of him.

Then the wife began her divorce

William U. JenltiuM Against Mnj. T. J.
Brown and W. U. Carter of SVinslon.
A suit ha3 been entered in the
courts of Vance county by William
II Jenkins, of Henderson, against
Maj. T J Brown and W B Carter, of
this city for slandor. The charge is
that the two last named gentlemen
spoke of Jenkins as the man who
skipped from Hei.derson with the
funds of the Alliance Tobacco
Warehouse there, of which he (Jen
kins) was manager. The case is set
for trial iu the courts of Vance next
Thursday.
Col. Ii C Edwards, of Oxford,
i representative of the plaintiff, has
been in the city for the past few
days taking depositions in the case.
He returned home this morning.
Messrs. Glenn and Manly, of this
city will represent the defendants.
Maj. Brown and Mr. Carter dis
claim any knowledge whatever of
any remarks made upon the charac
ter of sud Jenkins.
It seem that the whole thing
originated from a conversation
which took place at the Farmers'
Warehonse in Winston several
months ago, at which time the much
talked of trial of Burgwyn vs. Jen
kins was going the rounds of the
papers. The men who heard the
conversation on that da say that
the name of William Jenkins, the
man who has brought suit, was not
mentioned by either Maj. Brown or
Mr. Carter.
The entire matter arose out of a
misapprehension, arising from a dis
cussion among the gentlemen present
as to what the newspapers were allu
ding to, some of the gentlemen press
ent, having seen Mr. Jenkins when
he was selling tobacco in this city.

"The report of the committee was

said reports the committee say that
they thoroughly investigated the
charges and found the newspaper
reports high sensational and that no

has by some great cataclysmic opera

other spots have appeared, which
are situated a vast distance from the

A strange and some what remark
able ca3e reported from Davidson
county, the particulars of which are
as follows :
On Sunday Miss Bertha Tesh, a
youDg lady of Arcadia twnship,
died suddenly and on Monday after
noon the body wa3 laid to rest at
Freidburg. The neigbors who were
present after the young lady was
pronounced dead, say thai; i er body

gently advised to hold the body,
saying that the 3'oung lady vtrs only
in a trance. Notwithstanding the
wishes and demands of the friends
the father had the daughter buried.
The affair continued to be dis
cussed Monday aud Tuesday and on
Wednesday it was decided to take
the body up for examination to get
if it was still warm. That night it
was removed from the grtve, and
upon the opening of the coffin it wus
found that the body had commenced
to decay.

Tesh was buried alive.
Capt. Alexander Nays an Anti-Option
Kill W ill Puns.
Washington Post.
Mr. Alexander, of North Caroli
na, says that it will be a measure
that will suppress fictious buying
and selling, and yet will not inter
fere tfith what the commercial
world calls legitimate trading. "All
the witnesses we have heard," he
says, 4,say that they are willing that
the selling of options stiould be sup
pressed, but they do not make a clear
definition between the selling of op
tions and of futures. My opinion is
that if the board of trade of Chicago
or any other place, offered a bill that
would certainly prevent fictitious
buying and selling, while at the
same time it did not interfere with
legitimate trade the committee would
adopt it unanimously. It will take
some time to frame the bill, but
when it is framed it will pass the
House perhaps not by a two-thirds
vote, but certainly by an ample ma
jority.

Aslieboro Courier.

when he became sick, his head swim
ming from the bad odor of bad
whiskey, fell over into a slop tub

only dry place-about him being the
back of his head. Mr. Burke wa3 a
consistent Christian and never tasted
a drop of whiskey. He h aves an
excellent wife and a family of four
teeen children, seven boys and seven
girls. Mr. Burke was in hi3 TSth
