THE CAMPBELLS

.Farther Evidence Going to SLCMV That Tl.ey AIO Ral Set. London, December 1.—The hearing cf

the Campbell divorce suit was rsaumed to-day. Rose Baer, formerly lady maid to the plaintiff, testified for the defense. She said the Dake of Malborougb frequently visited Lady Colin Campbell. Ho usually came in the afternoon and was shown to the drawing-room. "Witness never saw any familiarity between Lord Colin and Mary Watson. Lady Colin had instructed witness not to leave letters to her mistress in the hall, but to take them to her. Some of the letters that witness carried to plaintiff the latter burned others she placed in a box under her bed. In .Tune, 1882, Lady Colin, who wag at the time in the company of Lady Milee, called witness. Lady Miles told witness she had blackened her mistiess' character and must leave, and that if she did not go at. once the police would be called to pat her out. Lady Colin gave her £10, four only bein^ due as wages, and told witness to tell the servants in explanation of her departure that her father was ill rend she was going home. Lady Colin, added witnt s?, said that she considered witness a sister and not a servant and misled her a good deal, saying it was Lord Colin Campbell who had dismissed her. Witness had posted letters to the Duke of Marlborough. She sometimes took them to bis house. L-idy Culm used to leave the hou3e at eight o'clock in the evening and return as late Jas three o'clock on the following morning. On some of these occasion) witness would accompany her mistress a short distance from the hou^e and there be told to return. On these expeditions Lady Colin usually carricd a long felt hat concealed under her clcak. Sometimes, in undressing Lady Colin after her return from these •-ab-"uce«, witness found her dress partislly disarranged. Once witness found a gentleman's handkerchief in Lady

Colin'n room at Leigh Court. Plaintifl said she knew to whom it belonged, and took it. Or.ce witness heard somebody after midnight ascending the stairs. Luiy Colin coughed. The person then entered the door of the room adjoining plaintifl". The door of the room was shut, aud witness was dismissed. Next day witr.ess found evidences that the room had been occupied by.two persons. Occo witness found the Duke of Marlborough in Lady Colin's room during the afternoon. On one occasion while witness was brushing Lady Colin's hair after midnignt some one on the outside of the room tried the door and finding it locked, departed, Witness saw Chief Shaw walking outside the house. Shaw had a carriage in waiting. The carriage went away and Chief ShsAv entered the home Wi'iiees often mailed letters to Chief Shaw from Lady Colin.

Being cross examined, witness admit'd that shecried when she was dismissed "from Lady Colin's service, and that she said she \va3 sorrv she had talked to the servants. She denied, however, that she admitted that she had been a wicked gossip. She admitted that she had written to Lady Colin both from abroad and after her return to England,' th.it the plaintiff never answered her letters. Miss

Baier admitted that two weeks ago she had signed a statement that Lady Colin Campbell dismissed her because she knew too much about her atfd she ha thought it very easy to tell Lady Colin that tdie would expose her. Bein^ asked to explain ho*- it ca^e that she signed the statement, auaiitted as untrue, witness said "I thought it true then. 1 think it untrue now." This recantation caused a sensation among the audience. Continuing, under close crosG-eiamina-tion, wi.ness admitted that the Duke of Marlborough always called upon L.tdy Colin during the usual visiting hours. He came twice and sometimes five times weekly. Witness posted letters to the Duke of Marlborough every day and sometimes twice a day. On the occasions* when she took letters to the duke's residence she put them into the letter box, rang the bell and ran away home. She had been instructed to do so on these occasions. Witness then admitted that the statements made previously that she had iound in undressing Lady Colin that her drees was open at tne back and her skirt disarranged and her peticoats out of order, on occasions when the plaintiff left hotye early in the evening and returntd in the early morning, were not true. Witness had not found Lady Colin's diess unlaced. She had found a petticoat unkooked once. Keing further pressed, witness admitted that it was not a petticoat, but that the skirt ws simply unhooked so that she coulo see the petticoat beneath the skirt—that was all.

Counsel for plaintifl added more pressure and Miss Baer finally admitted that the Duke of Marlborough was not at Lsigh Court at Christmas. She also admitted that the sU'.ements she lrad made in her direct examination about hearing some one ascending the stairs after midnight one night and enter the room ad joining Lady Colin's and finding a gentleman's haudkerchief in Lady Colin's room next jrning, and other indications thai twe persons had occupied the room, were untiue. Witness the original statement^ sha continued, did not s.w that two persons had occupied the room on the occasion referred to. Witness only remembered this incident lat week.

Nearly every one of Miss Baer admissions provoked excitement and a sensation, in view of their damaging effect upon that side of the esse which»was largely built on what she had previously stated in writing.

Xhc !ljrrisg3 of Pat Moran

Dr. Moudy, several years ago, moved away from Terre Terre Haute, and at Jewett continued the practice of medicine, also conducted a drug store. He had many friends throughout Cumberland county, especially in the township where he had located. He was thoroughly respected and enjoyed a lucrative practice. He was the father of Hiram A. and Daniel W. Moudy, of this city.

Dr. Everett's Health Revival The doctor lectured yesterday afternoon at Asbury Church, on "Artistic Dressing and Hereditary Genius," to ladies only. The doctor claimed that the dress of women as now arranged was more productive of diseases peculiar to her than all other causes combined. To a sympathetic beholder the very 6ight of a woman in her ordinary street dress was fatigueing. That every ounce of clothing shoulu hang from the shoulders. The waist must be so large that upon taking a deep inspiration the fingers may be easily Dassed between the dress and person at the belt, directly below the armpit. The clothing must be so equally distributed thattbe tops of the shoulders and chest, the arms to the wrists, and the part from the knees, to the heel, may be clad as warmly as the redt of the body. The best testimonial for underclothing, is, undoubtedly, a combination of woolen and canton flannel garments. From the first of November until the first of May three suits of the combination garment should be worn. A full suit of English canton flannel and a light suit of muslin, all suits to be worn from neck to heels and wrist. The body sho.ild be robed with perfect personal security, so that cold* from standing in draughts of air and various unavoidable exposures are thereby obviated. With such garments you may defy the elements -on the coldest winter day, and with tne addition of long-legged rubber boots, you may safely eojoy your, ''constitutional" walk upon the sloppiest day. He denounced cjrsets as an unmitigated evil. Passing on to Hereditary Genius fee exclaimed, that the mothers of the race should be thoroughly matured. He quoted largely from ancient atjd modern history to prove that the great minds of all lands and all ages had been born of women fairly advanced in fife. Amongst others he spoke of the mother of the Wesley's, that the Methodist Church had well-founded reason for allowing women "to speak in meeting,' that John Wesley founded the Methodist Church and Susannah Amesley founded John Wesley. In conclusion he said that the world will never be righted until the mother-po.ver is set to work less wastefully and more wisely, and that next to God woman had most to do in improving the race.

Women,as mothers, can only demonstrate their power by coming into a higher realm of existence. That when husbands will give them companionship in this seraphic world of spiritual licht, we shall see the human blossom in its perfection, but not until then. It was a masterly e8ort of more than ordinary power aud was thoroughly appreciated by a large and highly cultured audience.

The Eastern Star,

Mrs. Carrie Fanning, Grand Matron of the order in Indiana, and Mrs. Sopha C. Scott, Grand Matro9 of Illinois, were entertained, Tuesday evening, by Terre Haute chapter, at the beautiful Masonic rooms in the McKeen block. A large number were in attendance, and the work was exemplified in a creditable manner, after which all present repaired to the barquet room, where a bountiful feast was spread. Toasts were responded to by Dr. Van Valznh, Judge Lonp, and the two lsdy guests. The doctor's remarks were in his happiest vein, and were listened to with the utmost attention. Judge Long's address •wis full of valuable information, enlivened by an occasional sally of wit.

The responses of Mrs. Fanning and Mrs. Scott were each replete with bright and womanly suggestions for the good of the order, which showed that the interests of tbi Eastern Star in the sister states of Indiana and Illinois are in able hands.

It will be remembered that some time since Pat Moran was the defendant in a paternity case. He was arrested and placed in jail. From the first he protested his innocence and claimed that the charges made against him had been trumped up for seme purpose. After a brief confinement in jailMoranconsented to have the marriage ceremony formed. He accordingly procured marriage license and he was married Father Francis, of St. Joseph's church. Immediately after the ceremony he left his newly made bride, i* girl cf rather tender years, and refused to live with her or speak to her. The girl, in her complaint against Moran, charged teat Moran was the father of her unborn child. It soon developed that the girl was not to becomc a mother and Moran, who had persistently claimed his innocence of any intimate relations with her, made affidavit to the above effect and furnished the court with other evidence of the truth of his statement. He petitioned Judge Mack to set aside the marriage Judge Mack took the case under advisement at the last term of court. A number of witnesses were railed before him and he aho took into consideration the statements of a number of the medical profession. The case was a very peculiar one, and ODO which was never known before our courts. Ihe judge postponed decision in the mat'er until this term of court and Tuesday decided in Moran's favor, being satisfied of the truth of Moran's statement that he was married to the girl untler duress. This is perhaps the first decision of the kind ever rendered in a Vigo county court. Moran is a rather Well known jyaung man ot the city. He was a helper at the Nail works and was at one time in John E. Lamb's law office. Attorney Toomaa W. Harper conducted Moran's case.

He Consigned the Lad to the Care of a Stage Driver, Who Raised Him.

NO LONGER A MYSTERY.

Ioc Wilioa Deelarts That Moen is His Father. PROVIDENCE, R. I., December 1.— Unable to bear the strain any longer, "Doc" Wilson, this morning, broken d»wn ia health, weeping like a child, told the great secret which existed between him and H. S. Moen for so many years. The story, told in the presence of four reputable citizens and furnished the press, is: "I am looked upon as a blackmailer," he said, "and those who believe I have been bleeding that old man hold me in as much contempt sa a dog. But I will stand it no longer. I am more sinned against than sinning, and now the truth shall be known. My name is not Wilson, nor am I a son of Jonas Wilson. My father is the man who is accusing me of blackmail. Mv name ia Levi Moen, the lawful son of P. S. Moen, of Worcester.' Wilson then went on to tell the story of his birth and the wrong done him by his father. His story ia that he is the son of Moen's first wife, that he was born a few months after the marriage. Moen being a deacon and professedly high-toned Christian, did not wish to facc the scandal of such an early birth to his first born, so_a bargain was made which Jonas Wilson, a stage driver, by which the babe was transferred to the Iatter's care, and brought up as Wilson. The boy lived, toiled in "the humble sphere to which Moen consigned him,and it was not until he was a young man grown, that be learned the secret of his birth. For that secret he is indebted to the religious remorse of hip supposed father, Jonas "Wilson, who, being on bis death bpd, and not caring to pass the portals with the burden on his soul, drew the lad toward him and told him who he was. After Wilon died the young fellow set off for Worcester to meet his father face to face. Their first meeting, Wilson ,'s, was exactly as had been described. He did meet Moen that morning. And after observing the signs of wealth end luxury that abounded, he demnded of Moen tome reparation for the wrong done the one witt) should be heir to all. Muen at first refused to acknowledge the lad and would have driven him forth, but the boy faced his millionaire parent defiantly.) In upbraiding him for the wrong done bis mother, he said, "I will force you to acknowledge me, and the world shall know you for what you are." Doc says the banker-deacon became alarmed, gave him $100, and by* appointment he met Moen the next day. He consented to 8hield.his father from sheme. His father had in the meantime married again, after the death of DocVmother, and married into a family which wou'd scorn Moen had they known of the scandal. DJC says he could no longer stand the calumny which was heaped upon him, and that his confession of the secret was thus causer?.

V/HAT MOEN SAYS.

He Denies Wilson's Story and it is All a Lie. WOKCESTEK, Mass., December 1.—The announcement frjm Providence this evening that Doc Wilson had lifted the veil from the great Moen mystery caused a tremendous sensation. The bulletin boards were surrounded far into the night ty the crowds. The millionaire manufacturer was at prayer meeting when the announcement reached this city, and there the reporters gathered at the'door of theUnion Church to waylay him when he came forth. One of them showed Mr. Moen a copy of a Providence paper containing the ory, and proceeded to interview him on the subject, but he would say nothing aside from the statement that the story was a lie. With a difficuly he escaped the reporters and proceeded to his residence. A "reporter called upon him there at 9 o'clock. His son Phil came to the door with him. He was as cool and collected as though he had been called to the door on a matter of business of the simplest kind. When a3ked about the statement made by Wilson to-day that he was the father, Mr. Moen said: "It ia a lie— a downright lie." He then said: "My counsel ha3 advised me not to talk with any newspaper men -on the subject, oo you will excuse nie if I decline to be interviewed. But you can see he is Hearing the end of his rope. Just see how desperate the man is in getting up such a story as that." Mr. Moen declined to state^anything further.

Yiritiuff the Sick.

New York Star. Having settled in your own mind that it is proper to call on your sick friend, you should carefully consider how to make that call a blessing to "him. To visit the sick requires common sense, united with qtiick sensibilities. No explicit rule can be given on this point, only that your greeting should be free and^atural. Above all things, do not tell your friend how sick he looks. As a general thing it is unbecoming to closely question the patient in regard to the particular nature »nd symptoms of his illness. Only a few general inquiries can be made with propriety.

If a regular physician is in attendance on the case, it is exceedingly bad taste for the caller to suggest medicines to be taken in pi ice of those ordered by the doctor, or in connection with his remedies.

Anether innovation in household furnishing is the marked presence of the simple old fashioned dresser which is largely taking the place of the heavy, elaborate and proportionately useless sideboard in artistic houses. The dresser is in design not unlike the homely kitchen dresser—a plain topped chest of drawers of dark oak or mahogany, with four or five shelves running up the wall to a height in proportion to the height of the room. These shelves offer a capacious and suitable place for the display of heirlooms of ch'ina or glass, or the decorative china picked up hero and there interspersed with choice trays, silverware and what not, which are never quite at home in any part of the honse save the dining room.

another reliable souice, however, it was learned that there is so far a preponderance against a connection with the, Knights of Labor. A large number of influential lodges have voted almcst to a man, against any such move. Several of the smaller lodges are inclined to identify themselves with the Knights of Labor, so that. to use their own expressios, "the conflict Bgainet capital can be more -formidable on the part of labor." While the great body ot the members seem to be opposed to merging the Amalgamated Association into the Knights of Labor, the movement to organize in both unions is still going on. While these men do not wish to abandon the independent union, they wish also to have the advantages derived from be'ng in the Knights of Labor.

PirrsBuitG, December 1.—Members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers are new voting on the proposal to enter the Knights of Labor made by General Master Workman Powderly last summer Nearly all of the votehasbeen received and is overwhelmingly opposed to the change and the indications from other lodges all point the same way. The sentiments- of the majority are that they have succeeded in managing their own business without asnptance or interference of other trades so far, and prefer to continue the experiment. Great secrecy is being observed on the subject. Several of the smaller lodges are inclined to identify themselves with the Knights so that, to use their owa expression: "The conflict against capital can be more formidable on the part ot labor."

UNLIMITED MEMORIES.

Tho Foats of a Cortlcau—A Physician Who Could Itopcat Paradise Lost. Catholic News.

There was a Corsican who could rehearse forty thousand words, whether senoe or nonsense, as they were dictated, and then repeat them in the reverted order without making a single mistake. A physician, about sixty years old, could repeat the whole of "Paradise Lost" without amistike, although helisd not read it for twenty years. Euler, the great mathematician, when he became tilind could repeat the whole of "Viigii's .lEneid," and could remember the first and last line in every page of the partic ular edition which he had been accustomed to read before he became blind.One kind of retentive memory may be considered as the result of sheer wcrk, a determination toward one particular achievement without reference either to cultivation or memory to other subjects. This is frequently shown by persons in humble life in regard to the Bible. An old beggar man at Sterling, known fifty years ago as "Blind AJe^," offered an instance of this. He knew the whole of the Bible by heart, inasmuch that if a sentence was read to Him he could name the book, chapter and verse or if the book, chapter and verse named, he could give the exact words. Dr. Moffat relates that after preaching a sermon on ''Eternity" to some Africans he heard a simple looking young man repeat it all over to a group of natives with uncommon precision, the very gtstures being produced. On telling him that he had done more than he original preacher could do, repeat the sermon verbatim, the savage touched his forehead and said: "When I hear anything it remains there."

After the adjournment of court at noon Tuesday, the crowd of youngsters were brought before Judge Mack. They arranged themselves in front of the judge's nch in a line. A little brightface.' woolly headed urchin named Jones was at the head of the line. The judge questioned him and he told a straight-for ward story. He conftssed to the mischief which he had engaged in and told the connection of the other boys with it. ~The investigation proved to be quite amusing. Occasionally Jones' testimony was disputed by the ethers, but the little fellow clung to what he said, although a great part of it was damaging to himself. One youth confessed to saying that he intended setting Peabody's "shop. on fire, but insisted that was only a "cod." Another said he had had a nigger-killer but "couldn't hit ths side of a barn." The judge asked him if he couldn't hita window occasionally. They were all more or less implicated in stealing eggs, ducks and poul try from freight cars and pigeons from Peabody. The judge released them all but warned them if any of them ever came before him ag&in he would send them to the reform school.

The maiden name of the deceased was Catharine All, and she was a sister of Mrs. M, W. Hunter and Mrs. S. Rogers, of this city, and Messrs. James and Jessie All, of Pari?, III.

For many mopths this noble woman has been in enfeebled health, but seemed hopeful of recovery up to her List moment of earthly existence. It would seem that her loved ones might sy, thero is co sorrow likeotn- sorrow," for, by this dispensation of our AilWise Father, fivt little children have been bereft of a mother's care, sympathy and love a devoted husband of a loviog wife, and a home, of its ight aud joy. I'riends will gather round he st'-'icken family, to sorrow with them and to poiut them that One who has said "Blessed are they that mourn but, alas, it is through lacerated hearts, agony too deep for tears, passionate longings, and the slow lapse of nvny weary days or yearn 'hat they reach the blessed "they shall be comforted." Years will comp and go, and very f.oon nature's carpet of green studded like emeralds with God's fl iwers will cover the grave where "Mama" sleeps, dear loved one but all the years will not flace from vout. memories her kind and- loving words, her sweet council, and her evtr watchful csre for you all.

By all those who knew her, Mrs. Brewer and her a-jiable qualities, both of mind and heari, her loss" will hf keenly felt, and the husband and children in their sad bpreavtmeut have the heartfelt sympathy of all.

Only Another Time.

Yesterday afternoon Erastua Knowies, alias Peterson, the notorious hor-e aud cattle thief, whom Superintendent Law lor and Captain Vandever, on November 4, brought from Joliet, was taken beiore Judge Mack and on a olea of "gu lTy" of horse-stealing, was sentenced to three years in Jeffersonv.ille penitentiary.

Knowies, about two years ago, hired a horse and buggy from Jehu Lewis, the livery man, in this city, and went ovei into Illinois failing to make return of the property. He sold the outfit and shortly after stole another horse and was arrested, tried and pent to Joliet for eighteen months. Captain Vandover, with characteristic shrewd work, kept on the track of the thief and when he was discharged from Joliet was it th: prison gate to receive his man. The sentencing of Knowies yesterday lessens the number of skillful horse thieves in this section by at least one.
