Several months later he returned and took her to a boarding house in Franklin street. They stayed one week, when Kirby pretended that he had found employment in Jersey City. He went to that city to live and his'wife went home. Several times she spent a portion of the day wit h him in he Jersey City, but on each occasion sent her home without having offered her a mouthful of food. Recently Mrs. Kirby received a letter from a lawyer in this city informing her that her husband had 'instituted proceedings for a divorce. On Monday night Kirby called at her mothers's house, and his wife told him that she preferred a divorce to a life with a man who in fourteen months had for maintenance. Kirby inpaid but sisted that she should come and live with him, and seizing her by the shoulder, shouted: "I want this thing set tled at once." at the same time drawingteri-tie- a knife.

A certain person in has been engaged in insuring the lives of a number of men of dcssolute habits for a moderate amount, the policies all being made p lyabie in a manner that would allow the conspirators to reap the profits. His plan was to take these men and put them under a course of training until they were in good physical condition and then insure them. The men would be paid fifty and seventy livo dollars, and the Chronicle says within the past year some of them havedied and the policies beeu paid by the companies. New-Yor- k SEVERE STORM. Heavy Oale in New York Causes Orcat Damairc. New York, Oct. 2b- - New York was pelted last night and today with one of the most pitiless storms which it has endured in many days. A tierce northeasterly gale drove the heavy rain in almost horizontal sheets, rendering umbrellas of little use, and the wind throughout the night rattled the signs and shutters till unbroken sleep became well nigh impossible. This morning stories of damage along along the coast began to come in, but it is feared that the worst will not be known until tomorrow. Aloug the New Jersey coast the wires are reported down and several vessels are ashore, while others have been driven from their course. Very hiirh tides have resulted from the storm. Several small boats capsized olf Iong Branch, but the occupants were rescued. The main wires that are strung between this city and Sandy Hook parted about midnight, and today the members of the maritime exchange had to depend upon a single wire from quarantine. I he storm did considerable damage in Brooklyn. A four story brick building, in course of erection, on Halsey street, was blown down. John Lindsay, a passer' by, was buried in the ruins. His injur-iesare thought to be fatal. A ld y d d v 21.--E- at to-nig- ht i d. New-Jerse- y This Was Accomplished With Only a Normal Pressure On The System Capable of Exhibiting Much More Energy Than Was Shown Last Evening. An average pressure test of the new water system was made yesterday eveand Twenty-fift- h ning both at Twenty-fourt- h and Washington. It was very satisfactory to all who saw it. Tho pressure was about, what it will be on an average when the water works are in use. It could be made three times as strong as it was yesterday, but, it would seem that there is no need of any more force behind a stream than was developed yesterday. With a common nozzle and hose a stream was thrown clear over the First National bank building, thirty feet from the corner. Tho water was easily elevated as high as the Hag staff on that building, which would be equivalent to 'opping a stream on a seven-stor- n y bill-and- , - Chicago, Oct. 24.-- - Speaker Reed held a reception at the Union League club to members of the club and was afterwards banqueted there. Accommodations for the largest political gathering in Chicago had to bo doubled to tonight to make room for the throng that attempted to hear Speaker Reed. TK doors were locked at Battery I) armorfully an hour before the' of the meeting, and over G,000 people were then inside, while hundreds were patiently waiting in the Second Regiment armory, next door, where an overflow meeting was held. When several hundred members of the Union Veteran association, with banners flying, entered the hall as an escort to Reed, remarkable enthusiasm was manifested. Hu was accompanied by Senatois Farwell and Cullom, Congressmen Ma son, Adams and Butterworth and many other gentlemen. Mr. Reed spoke at length on the elections question the McKinlev the work of the present Congress. Contrasting the two great parties, he said the Republican partv achieves; the Democratic party finds fault. Not having anything to do, it follows that the Democrats are not under the necessity of being consistent. The Democratic platform has the advantage over the Republican in its method of argument, that of simplicity. They simply have to pass on what the Republicans do and account for all the misfortunes of the world by means of the acts of the Republican party. The speaker further asserted that there is not a single thing the Republican party has done that has not within two to five years received either the tacit or vociferous approval of the Democracy.
