Oil City. Pa.. March 14. A Venango
tounty divorce case of a peculiar character
was called up for argumentative last Argu
ment Court on a petition of record. The
case was not considered by the Court, but
continued until a future date. Your cor
respondent has been investigating the mat
ter and reports upon examination of the
records in the case he finds the lollowing
remarkable state of facts:
On the Cth day of July, 1878, Dr. Benja
min Xice, a prominent physician of Berks
county, Pa., was married to a young and
bcautitul girl, and the union was a happy
one until March, 18S6. About this time a
coolness arose between them and the Doc
tor went to Florida, ostensibly for the ben
efit of his health, as alleged. Not long
niter this a prominent attorney of Beading,
Pa., wrote a letter to the deserted Mrs.
Nice, offering her a large consideration if
she would proceed to get a divorce on the
grounds of her husband deserting her. This
she refused to do.the last letter being written
to her bv the above attorney on May 2S,
185S. '
Negotiations then ceased and the wife
heard nothing more of the matter until
October S, 1S91, when she received a letter
from Prothonotary Evans, stating that the
doctor had procured a divorce in Venango
county on December 13, 18S8, less than
seven months after she had refused his offer
to become dhorced lor a money considers
tion.
A Remarkable State of Affairs.
Upon in estigating this remarkable state
of facts, it was disco ered that the doctor
had come to Venango county within 30 davs
alter his wile had relused to entertain the
proposition of the attorney. He had no
grounds lor obtaining a divorce on the plea
of desertion. On arriving in Franklin on
June 8, 1883, the doctor filed his petition
for a subpoena in dhorce acainst his wife.
His allegations in this.petitiou are of such
a character that they are unfit for publica
tion. A subpeena was awarded, directing
Mrs. Xice to appear before the court in
Venango county and answer his
charges. The Sheriff returned this writ,
saving he could not find her. An
other subpeena was ordered and the
same return made of this writ, when
theCouit then oidered notice to her pub
lished m the county papers, nicli -n as duly
made. Ot course, being In a local paper, the
notice did not reach much further than the
boundaries of the county, and the wife had
no notice whatever. In November, 1SSS,
Hon. Judge McCormick, ho had been ap
pointed examiner, leturned the testimony,
w liich, by the way, consisted wholly of the
evidence or the doctor himself. There was
no testimony gnen by any other peison.
Under the law, as alleged in the petition
licieafter relerred to, the doctor was incom
petent to testify against his wife as to any
matter occurring during their marital rela
tions, except the bare lact of marriage, and
the evidence as recoided shows that he
even Sailed to testily to this fact. 1 he doc
tor was granted a decree in divorce, and
hastened back to the eastern part of the
bute and married another woman.
The Ttorrled lMfe's Revenge.
As above stated, wife No. 1 did not hear ot
this proceeding in divorce until October 8,
191, nearly three years after the decree had
been granted, although the husband, it is
a erred, knew all the time where she lived
and could easily have given her an opportu
nity to have defended her good name and
character. Soon alter bearing of her hus
band's divorce and marriage she had him
arrested at Beading, Pa., for bigamy, and
immediately filed her petition upon the
record or this county, setting forth distinctively-and
minutely the facts as above cited,
and praying the court here to annul the de
cioe granting her husband a divorce, main
taining her innoeence and alleging that all
the acts of her busband were fraudulent.
Thi matter was brought up foi argument
on Thursdav.the last dayof argument court,
and was adjourned by the court until the
end of the jury trial next week.
As above stated, Nice was arrested at
Beading, Ta., lor bigamy several months
ajo, and snould the couit here annul the
decree of divorce, he -n ill immediately be
tried for the crime of w Inch it is alleged he
lsguiltv. It is said that public feeling in
Berks county is worked up to fever pitch
o er the matter, and as the libellant's father
is norths cool $100,000 every available means
will be brought into play to clear the de
fendant of this charge.

THE EDIHB0R0 ITOSHAL TBIAL.
Prof. Cooper Swoons Owing to the Incite
ment orHUIxrag Contest. k
Erie, Pa March li,-Spectal Prof. B, A.
Cooper and his counsel came Into court to
day to answer the bill In equity by
which he has been temporarily re
strained from discharging the duties of
Principal of the Edlnboro Normal
School. Among the affidavits were
those of the teachers, who swore that tho
actions of the trustees had wrecked the
school: that Cooper had admonished them
to be quiet, orderly and studious, but the in
justice and cruelty of the trustees' action
when they enjoined Cooper, was too much,
and a school of 340 arose en masse, and, ex
cept IS students. left the school. One of the
teachers, who had been induced by the
trustees to Join them in an execution against
Cooper, said that she did bo through the
false pretenses of the trustees.
Teachers and students swore that the
trustees were so negligent of the halls and
dormitories that the students suffered from
colds from dampness and bad sanitary regu
lations, and that many bad been stricken ill
and others had left the school for that
reason. The students testified that Prof.
Cooper had advised them not to enter into
any revolutionary measures, but they would
not submit to the malicious acts of the trus
tees and went just the same. Two of the
trustees snore that Cooper was unjustly
discharged: that there was no charge against
him, and that the action of the trustees
had wrecked the school. A large delegation
of meichants of Edlnboro swore that the
malicious acts of the trustees had wrecked
the school: that It was they who should be
restrained, and prayed the court to dismiss
the injunction and reinstate Prof. Cooper.
The argument was concluded to-day. Prof.
Cooper, who has been in a high state of ex
citement for several weeks, broke down, un
der the strain to-day, and was unconscious
for a short time. He is resting at his hotel
to-night, surrounded by his faculty, who
had also been dismissed.
SOME BEADD0CK BBEVITIES.
A Preacher's View of the Stage Portraits
In the Carnegie Ubrary.
Braddock, March 14. Special Rev. T. N.
Boyle, D. D., pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal Church here, spoke strongly last
night on "Emotion and Morality." He talked
of the stage and drama, but condemned
neither. He said he knew the drama awoke
an upheaval of the emotions, but it hardly
reached the moral nature beneath. None
were ever converted by the stage, and a
drunkard might see himself pictured there,
but the portrayal never lifted him from his
bondage.
Tlio Carnegie Free Library here to-day re
reived fine oil portraits of Andrew and
Thomas M. Carnegie, painted by a well
know n Pittsburg artist. They are presents
from the Library Association, and are of
Hie size and strikingly natural portraits.

library a handsome oil portrait of the late
Captain W. R. Jones, general manager of
both the Homestead and Edgar Thomson
works
The Bose Osborne Company, booked to fill
the engagement made vacant at the Grand
Opera House by the illness of Julia Marlowe,
stranded in this place, but were aided out of
tow n by friends. The company had their
properties attached for a printing bill. It is
reported the manager left the players in the
lurch.

BEADY FOR THE DOGS.
.Everything in Order for the Opening
of To-day's Local ShoV.
EXCELLENT ARRANGEMENTS MADE
Sullivan and Corbett Representatives to
v Meet To-day at New York.
M0BE QUEER EUMORS ABOUT TINNY
Everything and everybody is now ready
for the big dog show that commences this
morning in the Auditorium, Penn avenue,
under the auspices of the Duquesne Kennel
Club. Judging from the extensive arrange
ments which were completed last evening
it is likely to be the biggest and best show
ever held in this city. "Those who saw last
year's show will see a vast difference be
tween the arrangements then and the ar
rangements now. The benches this time
are laid out excellently and much credit is
due Superintendent Beed for the able way
in which he has managed ymatters Presi
dent Boggs and Secretary Lettell, too, have
been untiring in their labors in getting
things in order, and when the show opens
this morning visitors will at once see how
conveniently everything has been arranged.
A Big Entry List.
It was thought that there would not be
room for all the dogs, the entry list being
such a big one, but considerable space
has been utilized this time that was wasted
at the last show. Besides, benches have
been erected in the gallery for pet dogs, and
this is a new feature.
Every class will be well represented, par
ticularly the St. Bernards. They' will be
located to-day about the same place as last
year and they are sure to be oqe of the
great centers of attraction. The dogs of the
Dutchess Kennel, Poughkeepsie, arrived
last evening and they are about as handsome
St. Bernards as have been in Pittsburg.
They are, indeed, worth journeying a lous-
distance to see. Aristocrat, tor which
Colonel Bupert, the owner, paid a very
large sum, is certainly a noble animal. Al
tonette, Ellen Terry," Empress of Contoo
oook and Lady Gladwyn are with Aristocrat,
representing the kennel. The Maryland
Kennel of St Bernards has also arrived. It
is also interesting to know that among the
local St. Bernards that will be shown are
dogs owned bv Herbert Host etter and James
Piatt The -Niagara Kennels will also be
represented, together with kennels from
Canada.
A .large number of Great Danes ar
rived last evening, among them being dogs
owned by "W. H. Shephard, of Brooklyn;
C. Morris, Philadelphia; the "Wolverine
Kennels, Detroit, and a kennel from Iowa.
The Great Danes this year are likely to be
good,
A Wealthy Man's Dog.
Colonel Thayer's deerhounds were on
hand last evening, aud tbey are without
doubt a first-class sample of the deerhound.
Colonel Thayer is one ot the wealthiest men
in Boston, and certainly it must have cost
him lots ot money to get together such a
splendid lot of dogs as he has at this show.
George McKmney, of the Hotel Ander
son, has what may be termed here two
novelties. He will show two German Al
mars there, in many respects similar to a
Great Dane, and they are the only two in
the show.
The greyhounds from the Salem Kennels
have arrived, and those of the Chicago Ken
nels will arrive this morning. They are
tolerably good looking dogs.
But there is a very big entry of pointers
and English setters. There will be close
and exciting contests in these classes.
Among the pointers will be Lord Graphic,
of the Westminster Kennels, and Tempest,
from Bath, Me. So iar these dogs have car
ried everything before them, and they are
looked upon as sure winners here. There
are more setters. this time than there have
been here before.
And the list of local dogs, particularly
those ot the-pet kind, is nearly three time's
larger than it has ever been been. There is,
certainly a great amount ot interest cen
tered in this class, and the awards, no mat
ter how they go, are sure to cause loU of
talk among the owners.
Prize for St. Bernards.
J. B. Vandergrift gives a solid silver col
lar to the best St Bernard in the show and
Colonel Bupert is confident of getting it
with one of his dogs.
John Davidson, of Monioe, Mich., Judge of
the spotting dogs, arrived lait evening.
"Honest" John, as he is called, was all smiles
last night, and during a conversation he
said the show would be a good one, as some
splendid dogs will-be here. Ho had a quiet
walk round among the canines last evenln '
and thought well of them. Miss Whitnev.
Judge of the large dogs, and George Bapcr,
oi snemeici, i-pg , j udge ot the non-sporting
dogs, will arrive this morning from New
York. Jndgtng will commence about 9 SO
this mornlng.as it is intended to get through
with it as soon as possible. Prof.
Burton's trick dogs will perform this even
ing, and if the weather is line it is safe to
predict that the crowd at the show to-day
will be a big one.
A CEANK'S OBJECTION.
The 25-Cent Seats Cause a Kick by a
Local Fatron.
Tho following letter, which explains Itself,
was received at this office last evening:
To the Sporting Editor of The Dispatch:
I ant to make a protest through you against the
Pittsburg ateball Club in regard to 25-cent seals
they are to impose on ns people. The idea of erect
ing seats la center Held. WIren I wish to sec them
play I want to be In Pittsburg, not ou Soutbside.
Wit) a person can see as well lrom a box car on the
railroad, free of charge, or erea from a telegraph
pole. -
I want to male suggestion, viz: Divide the
bleachers roofing the division nearest the grand
stand, charging 35 cents for them, and 23 cents for
those uncorered. In this way they can draw a
ranch larger crowd, as I don't think the center
field seats will pay to erect them. As far as room
Is concerned thc5 have any amount of it. I never
saw the seats lullr occupied but ouce. and that was
a year ago last Fourth of July, whtn there were
two games for one price of admission. Fifty cents
is too much to Day to see a pennant-winning club
such as we had last year, and people don't go to
see the other club play. Base Ball Cra k.

AN0THES ULTIMATUM.
Sullivan Eas a Few More Words to Say to
Mitchell.
New York, Maich IS A dispatch from
Chicago says: John L. Sullivan has issued
onother ultimatum. "I mean business,"
says Sullivan this alternoon, "and if Mitchell
really wants to fight his chance is to get in

Sartly up. I am willing to fight before the

his hand "the champion of the world, aud
I will not allow any set of horse shoes to
draw up articles for me. Of course, If tho
Olympic Club articles suit me I will sign an d
stand by them, but no ono outside of John
son, who is my backer and knows exactly
what I want, and myself has any power to
say 1 shall do this or that. This will be my
last fight After It is settled I will retire
from the ring."

A. Ball Team of That City Likely to Join the
County League.
President Barbour, of the County League,
yesterday wrote the McKeesport Athletic
Association, asking if that organization can
enter a ball team In the County League. It
was stated yesterday that the association
held a meeting Sunday evening and lesolved
to lease ball grounds atMcKoesport and make
application tor membership in the County
League. On receiving this information
President Barbour wrote the association.
There was some talkyesterdayof the Jean
nette clnb being asked to join the League,
bnt this will not be done until the intentions
of the McKeesport olub are definitely
known.
President Barbour will probably appoint a
committee on Jules for the discipline of
players this week.
Frigid at Erie.
' Ear, Pa, March It Special "When the
Philadelphia clnb cut Erie out of the East
ern Baseball League at the conference in
Bochester last week the enthusiasm in Erie
grew frigid. It then dawned upon Erie en
thusiasts that C. D. White, President of the
Eastern. League, and agent for Spalding's
baseball supplies, bad just "jollied" Erie up,
and got her to raise $5,000 just to beat some
other and more desirable city into Tine. At
Bochester Erie got the cold shoulder. To
day Mr. White telegraphs Erie not one or
tho cities admitted demands concessions the
League cannot grant
MAY MAKE IT TO-BAY.
Corbett's and SalUvan's Backers Will Meet
This Afternoon to Sign Articles.
New York, March H. The match between
John L. Sullivan and James Corbett, which
will be arranged to-morrow afternoon, pro
viding nothing happens, has been exten
sively discussed by local sporting men
is tho past few days. VA good many
men believe that Sullivan will have
an easy time with the Callfornlan. Not
a few good judges or fighters, however,
think that thi3 battle will bo Sullivan's
Waterloo. "Wakely telegraphed Sullivan last
night to ascertain the route of the combina
tion so that he can be in communication
with the champion all the time.
Dick Koche set the sports to thinking by
offering to bet Wakely $100 that Corbett
would not make the match. Sullivan's
backer did not take the bet. "Ir Cotbett
fails to put up his money," said Wakely, "he
n 111 be classed with Mitchell, Slavln and the
other champion bluffers. I do not think he
can afford to back out now after all he has
said about being pleased at Sullivan's offer
to meet him. As for Mitchell, why you
could not drag him into a ring with John
without using a derriok, nnd even then he
might squti m out of the ropes."
Coibett's intention is to bo at the appoint
ed place between the hours of 1 and 3
to-moirow. Wakely will be on band, he
says, no matter what happens.

A Comparison of the Practice Work of the
Two Billiard Players.
Chicago, Maich 34. Jacob Schaefer and
Frank Ives will come together next Satur
day night at Central Musio Hall in u contest
for the billiard championship and the mas
sive silver tiopby emblematic theieof
'n hich Is now, and has been ever since It was
put up by the Bruuswick-Balke-Collcnder
Company, In the possession of Schaefer.
Both men have been practicing diligently at
their respective looms, and a comparison of
scores brings "The Young Napoleon" Into
strong lL;ht,nnd strengthens the Impression
that he will give "The Wlzaid" a tight race,
if he does not actually succeed in bringing
home what he is going aftei.
Tile lecoids for the weok's practice give
Ives the better grand averugo and single
average, and a big run but four points

TENNY IN BAB SHAPE,
Once More Bnmors Are Current About the
Famous Bace Horse.
New York, March 14. It Is stated here
that Mr. David Pulsifer Is quoted as writing
to his friends that Tenny Is doing well and
will certainly be a starter In one or the other
big handicaps. That veteran jockey and
level headed horseman "Billy" Donohuels
quoted as having said: "Tenny is in a bad
way. His foiele'gs are In bad condition."
"Come along and see the horse yourself,"
says the trainer, "Snip" Donovan. "There's
the horse, sir," said he, throwing open Ten
ny's stall. Tenny's forelegs are twice their
ordinary size. Below the knee" Joint they
are as rough as though covered ith burrs.
"H has been blistered three times this
winter," says Kerrick. "He has not been
fired. His lorelegs were even larger a week
ago than now. There are rednclng-ln size.
No, I don't think he is as heavy as when I
showed yon the old horse a year ago. You
see, he has suffered with his old complaint,
colie.and we have bad to physic him, besides
starving him to keep the fever down."
"How do you starvo him?"
"Oh, he gets no oats or hay, but simply
hot bran mashes. II o gets all the water he
wants, but none of the good things in hoise
food. We strive to keep tho fever out of his
legs as much as possible. While he stands
there inactive In the stable we have got to
stint his stomach. I should judge not .how
ever, that he weighs in the neighborhood of
950 pounds."
Berger Not Signed Tot.
During a conversation yesterday John
Berger, the catcher, said: "I have not
signed with the Memphis club yet I bad a
letter from the club to-day aud tbey want
me to get another catchei, a pitcher and a
second baseman for them. I may not go to
Memphis. I have also had a nice letter
from Manager Selee, of tho Boston club, and
he says he will engage me at the first oppor
tunity. I will not go to the Western League
and I have not sent my terms thero. I am
prepaied to wait for a week or two."
Baseball Notes.
Eastok Is to be signed by St. Louis to take the
late Pitcher O'Brien's nlaee.
Manager Buckenbehgek has arranged a game
for the local team at Ft. Wayne.
Brooklyn now has three Western League
pitchers, viz: Stern. Hart and Kennedy.
Pkesidxvt Byrne signed pitcher Kennedy, of
Bellalre, lor the Brooklyn cluu yesterday.
Manager Buckxnberger thinks Kennedy,
signed to pitch for the Brooklyn club. Is a good
man. ,
Presioent Byrne, of the Brooklyn club, was
in the city yesterday. He thinks well of the pros
pects of the 6eason and he also thinks he has signed
a good man in Kennedy.
President Von der Aiie sent Darby O'Brien a
check, for S100 last Tuesday in a letter telling him to
report at St. Louis by the 15th. He had no idea
Darby was slcL, as he heard lrom him less than
two w eeks ago.
J. M. Thomas, of Port Townscnd, Wash,,
writes a Cleveland paper sajlng: -I sec that Pitts
burg thinks they have a great nnd In -Klrt' Camp.
I think Cleveland has a greater one In Kettger, lu
somuch as he is cooler and not so liable to get the
swell head. "
Director Conant Is about the only one of the
Boston directors who still sticks out for Kelly, lie
does not want him to go to ZSew York. Ue claims
tnat Kel will still be a drawing card In the other
towns, If lie has lost his charm at home. It is evi
dent that John B. Day would like lihn, but Walter
Spalding Just as evidently 1& not breaking his neck
running after him.
MRS. Clarkson even complained to the Boston
club owners about her husband's dissipation. Slie
said all her husband had saved t as In the big house
they have out In Cambridge, and he hasn't a cent
beside that. Mr. Conant suggested that they mort
gage the house and get S3. 0u to ncompeuse the
liuaton club and lie would releasee Clarkson, and she
