A Divorce Snlt Filed In ThU City Several .Month Aro Waa Refnved by Judge Leathers The Sequel. There is a new chapter In the domestic affairs of Louis Meldner and hl3 pretty, dark-eyed wife. Both were in the Marlon Superior Court several months ago, he tryins to fret a divorce and she resisting the petition. The new chapter deals with a reconclilatlcn Which recently took place in St. Louis. Mrs. Meldner is the daughter of Henry.Illrfchberg, a wealthy St. Louis optician, who lives at No. S7U Clemena avenue. In April. 1S0S. fhc eloped to Xew York with Louis Meidper and they were married. Five week.- later Mrs. Meldner returned to St. Louis on a visit, ami while there was informed that her husband, then living in Allegheny City. Pu.. had been previously married. The domestic row whltti followed resulted in the filing of divorce papers in this city by the husband, who was a traveling wlesman and wad at the tfane spending a good deal of hi time here. When the case was called for trial Mrs. ' Meldner, with her father, waa on hand to resist It and the decree was refused by Judgs Leathers. Word comes from St. Loul3 that after 'he court's refusal to grant a divorce Mrs. Meldner drifted away from her father's fireside In Clemens avenue and was1 bearding with a Mrs. Young in Fountain Place, where came pleading missives from the Jvast. non of which, however, she an?wertd' Tho CMma reached on Oct. p. when Mrs. Meldner received a teteKram from Meldner stating that he was coming try St. Ijouls for her. She an.wert-d with a dispatch to the effect that the trip would be useless. Undaunted, the husband came cv ttirin-aphlnff hi brother William, occupant of a flat on Armstrong avenue, to meet him in East St. Louis. The nisht before "his arrival a carriage stopped In front of th flat and- a woman pot out and rang the door bell. It was the wife, finally resolved to meet her husband. Of the meeting between husband and wife a St. Louis paper rays: "At the lulay Depot in East St. Louis Mr. and Mrs. William Meldner witnessed the meeting of husband and wife and escortl thm over the bririsrs Into a scenv of tfcmestlo excitement, for thv had arrived at the flat on Armstrong avenue man ir. ana jurs. nenry J i is rchberg. accompanied by a third person, appeared on the scene and demanded admittance. " 'What transpired can best be described ty our neighbor.-, whom I am afraid we disturbed. said Mr. William Meldner last nieht. 'Mr. lllrshberg wantetl his daughter , and well. he prefemd her husband, my brother. The young folks are happy now, living in Philadelphia, where they wciit on the following morning. True.

Last July ten of the fourteen property owners In Square CS tendered thetr property to the United States government, but at figures which differed considerably from the assessed value set out by the commissioners In their report. At that time nothing was heard from the other four, the owners of the Walling property, tho Y. W. C. A., the Tomllnson and the public school properties. The total demands in the ten prop ositlons received amounted to $20,723. This was $11,223 more than the aggregate of the appraisement placet against the entire property by the commissioners'. In tho proposals sent In last July and the appraisements made by the commissioners there ls quite a difference, as will be seen by the following: AppralseName. Proposal, mcnt. W. II.

INDIANA GUARD STAFF

McKee, loiumanuing the Indiana National Guard, and Adjutant General Gore perfected the organization of the new guard yesterday by selecting the members of the new brigade staff, which, in the cate of the state guard, constitutes what to the United States army would be the general staff. Since the Spanl?h-Amerlcan war there has been no itate organization, except a few separate companies scattered throughout the State under the control of the adjutant general. Shortly after the war Brig. Gen. McKee was reappointed to command the new guard, but nothing was done to perfect the organization untii recently, when General McKee and General Gore settled on the new staff. All of the new men have seen service in the old guard, but in most cases In other positions. Dr. Wm. M.

Tibbott, ex-President Harrison's secretary, who returned lrom Europe yesterday morning, where he attended General Harrison during his connection with the Venezuelan boundary arbitration, was seen last night In regard to the trip. "We had a fine trip," he said; "most enjoyable in all particulars and experienced In general the best of health, except that Mrs. Harrison was seasick on tho voyage both ways. General Harrison was not ill a moment and the sea air helped him immensely. We were shown every courtesy and tho best of feeling was manifested toward us, both in France and in England. President Loubet, of France, gave a dinner in General Harrison's honor. Mr. Balfour also gave one in tho parliamentary house at London. You ask how the English war spirit compares with the American. There was no Hurry or excitement, so far as I could see. We arrived In London on the iast day of the yacht races. The English took their defeat very nicely and said they would come again. "No. France did not seem to be excited about the Dreyfus trial, and sentiment was pretty evenly divided. I was within half a mile of Laborl when he was shot, but did not hear of it until the next day. All I knew about French sentiment was what I read in the American paper?."
