The team attached to Shay's express wagon ran away yesterday morning nt about 11.30 o'clock. It was left stand ing on Dundaff street near the Hen drick shops nnd was tied to a weight. It Is not known what started the horses but when the driver came out of the shop they were galloping down Dundaff street while the weight was left behind with the strap snapped in two. The team turned into Sixth ave nue at the bridge and bwerved down Main street at the next corner. In making the turn a whiflletree broke and one of tho hors-es got a front leg over the pole. In this position they could not make rapid progress and several attempts were made to stop them. Jacob Cohen left his Junk wag pn in front of tho Carbondalo cash store and ran out In front of the horses. They turned and ran Into his wagon smashing the wheel. Tho horse with his leg over the pole fell and the team wns captured. The horses were considerably bruised, but the damage is only skin deep. Other damage Is very slight. STOLEN GOODS RETURNEi).

The pockctbook contnlned a diamond ring, a Delaware, Lackawanna and Western mileage book and thrco dollars In cash. De tective Moran took tho case In hand. He followed up a slight clue offered nnd had things In such slinpc that a warrant would have been Issued soon.

LAWS OF DIVORCE IN MANY LANDS VARIOUS REASONS POR WHICH MARRIAGE BOND IS SEVERED. Easy for a Man to Put a Girdle, of Grass Widows Around the Earth in a Comparatively Brief Tlmo Trif ling Ground for Dlvorco in Olden Times and Now. From tho Orcen Bag. The marriage and divorce laws of tho various countries, states nnd tribes, brought together, compound a dish of statutes ns analogous to hash as anything on the legal board. A year or two ago a London writer hu morously suggested that an interesting piece might bo prepared for the stage, entitled, "Round the World's Dlvorco Courts In Sixty Days." Ho would havo the hero, or shall I say tho villain. Don Juan, began his matrimonial ad ventures in Ireland, take a second wlfa In Scotland nnd a third in England. The laws covering his case, lacking uniformity 'between the three coun tries, would declare the marriages both legal and Illegal. Don Juan would next go to America, where, by reason of the varying laws of the different states, he could marry and divorce, remarry nnd redlvorcc, and commit bigamy, trlgamy, qtiad rlgamy, etc., until his Itinerary called him on to fresh fields nnd pastures new. Over In Japan ho could legally shake off a wife ulio talked too much; In China one who was ill-tempered; in Australia one who Imbibed too freely, and in Germany one who was too ex travagant; and ro he could travel merrily on, until he had actually gird led the earth with divorces and grass widows. IN ROME. Dlvorco wns known in Rome ns far back as the tlmo of tho decemvirs. The historian DIonyslus has preserved a speech of Veturla, In which she men tions that her son, Corlolanus, before he left Rome, told his wife, Volumnla, that he was no longer to be her hus band, and wished her better luck In marrying another more fortunate than himself. This was in tho fifth century before Christ. In nnclent Athens the law allowed dlvorco upon very trifling grounds. In Crete nny man might dismiss n wife who promised to hamper him with a too numerous progeny. Tho Greek wife of today, If she would remain a wife, must conduct herself with tho greatest propriety. The husband may obtain a dlvorco from her If, against his wish, she should stay a night In another house; if, without his know ledge, she should go to the theater or the races; or If, against his desire, she attends a dinner or goes In bathing In the company of men. Tho divorce procedure of the ancient Hebrews, Judging from the case of Abraham and his wife, Hagar, was a very simple matter Indeed. "And Ab raham roso up early In tho morning nnd took bread and a bottle of water and gave It to Hagar, putting It on her shoulder, und the child, and sent here away." In early Russian times divorce was brought about In this way; The couple who wished to be separated simply proceeded to a public square, and, each taking hold of one of tho ends of a strip of brittle muslin, they pulled It apart In tht presence of the towns people, by this act signifying a mu tual desire to part company. It Is not onlv in Japan that a hus band may dlvorco his wife If she should be too talkative. The Chinese courts allow divorce for loquacity, ln nttentlon to her parents-ln-law, thlev ishness, 111 trmper, lasclvlousness and barrenness. Tho man who puts away his wife for any other cause Is to be punished with eighty blows. IN CHINA. The ancient Chinese wore much more liberal In their divorce laws. It Is re corded In one of their old books that "a wife was turned away If she al lowed the house to be full of smoke, or if she frightened the dog with her dis agreeable noise," by which It would appear that those old rat eaters thought more of their dogs than they did of their wives. 'Probably the dogs secured for them their favorite roden tlan fare. In Morocco a man may leave his wife on the slightest provocation and marry again. De Church writes: "One of the servants hero Is reported to have had nineteen wives already, though he Is still middle-aged." Another writer says that among the Moors It Is considered "low" for a couple to live too long to gether, and the leaders of fashion are those who havo been the oftenest di vorced. Pollak tells us that In Persia a "Slghe" wife Is taken In marriage for a legally stipulated period, which may be of any length from one hour to ninety-nine years. In Greenland bus band and wife aro allowed to separate after living together for six months. The Mnldlvlans are so fond of matri monial change that cases are frequent where a man marries and divorces the same woman three or four times. In France, In 1792, during tho reign of terror, tho National Convention tried the experiment of allowing di vorce nt the free will of the parties concerned. The result was shocking. During tho twenty-seven months im mediately following the enactment of tho new law no less than 6,000 divorces took place In Paris alone, and the mat ter grew steadily worse until in 1797 tho divorces actually outnumbered the marriages. In 1798 the act was amend ed. Writing of this period, the his torian Duval says: "Couples divorced for a 'yes' or a 'no'; they divorced under the least provocation without any more ado than they would have to go and gather lilacs In the meadows of St. Gervals, or to eat cherries at Montmorency." IN EARLY NEW ENGLAND. Judge Cowley tells u that the first act under which marriage could be dis solved by Judicial degree In nny do pendency of tho English crown was passed by tho general court of Massa chusetts in 1639. Tho new "Court of Assistants" nppolnted by that net did not have long to wait before exercis ing Its new prerogative, for at its first meettnz this case was decided: James Luxford being presented for having two wives, his last marriage Doctors Recommend Horsford's Acid Phosphite for Nervousness, Dyspepsia and Overwork. rittunt tonka. Sold only la bott Its. wai declared void, or a nullity thereof, and to bo divorced, not to come to tho sight of her whom ho last took, and he to bo sent away for England by the nrst opportunity; and all that ho hath is appointed to her whom he last married, for her and her children: lis Is also fined 100, and to ho set In tho stocks an hour upon a market day after tho lecture." In almost all the states of our Union divorces may bo obtained for cruel and Inhuman treatment. It is Interesting to see what has sometimes been so considered. In one case a court grant ed a dlvorco to a wife because her hunbnnd would not wash himself. In a second case It was allowed the plain tiff because the defendant had said to her, after they had been married twenty-seven years: "You aro old nnd worn out; I do not want you any more." In another instance a woman who wns subject to sick headaches, which glow worse when she smelted tobacco, was allowed a divorce because her husband smoked. The amusing plea was made ty another woman that her husband would never cut his toenails, and so every night she was severely scratched. A fifth Instance Is where a woman secured a dlvorco because her little man Insisted on quoting to her pass nges of Scripture and reminding her In the language of tho Apostlo Paul that she should be obedient to her hus band. Some years ago a Kentucky victim of man's Inconsistency set foith her rlalnt In a petition for divorce In this style: "Dark clouds of discord began to lower over the sky of wedded felicity, and tho minacious lightning of dis union began to dart its lurid flames ncross the gloomy clouds of atramen tal blackness, obscuring every star of hope and happiness whoso resplend ent glory illuminated the dawn of the first few brief years of her wedded life, when she gave her hand and an undivided heart to the defendant, who In tho sultry month of July, 1876, after having been wnrmly and snugly wint ered within the fond embraces of her loving arms nnd closely nestled to a heart that beat nlone for tho defend ant, showed his base black ingratitude by abandoning her without cause whatever, except the Insatiable thirst for novelty, which Is tho predominant character of the defendant's nature." If the deserted one was In the habit of holding out In this style tho wonder is that tho union lasted as long ns It did. WOES OF HUSBANDS. But complaints of cruel and Inhuman treatment are not tho exclusive privi lege of the weaker sex. Husbands have made their share of them. One man claimed a divorce on the ground that his wife was In the habit of pulling him out of bed by his whiskers; an other because his wife did not sew on his buttons. A third wanted freedom because his wife gave him a violent blow over the head with her bustle; and yet another because his wife's brothers used to come to his house and threaten to thrash him, and make him do everything she wanted him to do. It Is only a few months ago that William SchlnecUebler, of Chicago, ap plied to tho courts for freedom from a wife who had set up for his observ ance these now commandments: Theo aro the new comandments ten, Which wives now make to man led men. 1 npmember that I am thy wife. That thou must cherish all thy life. 2 Thou shalt not stay out late at night When lodges, friends, or clubs invite. 3 Thou shalt not smoke Indoor or out, Nor chew tobacco, "round about." 4 Thou shalt with praise receive my pies. Nor pastry made by mo despite. 5 My mother thou shalt strive to please, And let her live with us lh ease. fc Remember, 'tis thy duty clear To dress me well throughout tho year. 7 Thou shalt In menner mild and meek Give mi thy wages every week. 6 Thou shalt not be a drinking man, But live on prohibition plan. 9 Thou shalt not flirt, hut must allow Thy wlfo such freedom, anyhow. 10 Thou shalt get up when baby erics. And try the child to tranqulllze. These, n.y commandments, from day today. Implicitly thou t-hnlt obey. FECKVIXIiE. The home of Mr. and Mrs. A. W.

GRAPHIC STORY OF A FAMOUS SEA FIGHT Concluded from Pago 5. lng up of the Mcrrlmno In the James river by our own officers, without a fight, and thero being caught In such a trap, I determined, by an unexpected dash Into the fleet, to attack nnd do It all the damage In my power; to expend all my ammunition and whnt little coal I had on board (only six hours' steam ing), and then, having done all I could with what resources I had, to retire under tho guns of tho fort, and, being without motive power, thero to lie and nsslst In repulsing tho attacks and as saults on the fort." The unexpectedness of tho second attack Ib well Illustrated by Admiral Farragut's remark at tho time. After having anchored, nil hands wcro piped to brakfast, when the officer on duty on the deck of the Hartford, seeing the ram slowly heading up the bay for tho Federal fleet, reported the fact to Ad miral Farragut while ho wut taking breakfast. "What! Is that so?" ho Inquired. "Just llko Buchanan's audacity! Slg lal to all frigates to get under way Immediately nnd run the ram under and attack at once." The greatest Injury done to tho Ten nessee was by tho Chickasaw, com manded by Captain G. H. Perkins. Our pilot, In pointing It out to Captain Johnson, said: "That Ironclad Is hang ing to us like a dog nnd has smashed our shield already. Fight him! Sink him If you can!" The Chickasaw real ly captured tho Tennessee. The Conferedato torpedoes, planted at the entrance to Mobile Bay, were tho llrst of the kind and were very primitive In their construction, merely a large beer keg filled with powder and nnchored by chains to a big, flat pleco of iron called a "mushroom." Projecting from the swinging top, some four fort under water, were tubes of glass filled with sulphuric acid, caus ing rapid chemical combustion and finally a mass of fire, thus exploding tho powder. They had been planted so long that many leaked, only one out of ten remaining intact, nnd this fact ex plains why so many were run over by the Federal fleet without exploding. During the four months that wo were guarding the entrance to Mobile Bay wo were not by any means safe from the danger of our own contrivances. One hot July morning we officers were upon the first deck of tho ram enjoy ing the sea breezes, when a floating black object was observed Iwbblng up and down. We supposed at first that It was a sort of devil fish with its young as we had killed one with Its "calf' only a few weeks previously, but tho motion was too slow, evidently. A telescope soon revealed tho fact that It was a torpedo drifting In with tho flood tide. We could not send a boat crew after It to tow It out of the wav. Wo could not touch It.we could not guide It. There was no means In our power to divert It from Its course. Finally, at the suggestion of Captain David Ealny of the marines, he brought up his whole guard with loaded muskets, who at once began to shoot at the floating keg. We sunk it not a moment too soon, for It only disappeared under the water abount twenty feet from tho ram. The wound received by Admiral Buchanan was from a fragment of Iron, either a piece of solid shot or part of tho plating of tho ram, which frac tured tho large bono of the leg. The Admiral's aides were Lleuts. Carter and Forrest. They tenderly nursed him during the entire four months of his confinement In the hospital at Pensa cola. accompanied him to Fort Warren, cared for him while here, and brought him back to Richmond after his ex change. Carter Is now a well-known citizen of North Carolina. Forrest un til ten years ago lived In Virginia. OLYPHANT.
