SF.EKS A DIVORCE AT EIGHTY. Charles Moore Soinewlmt Dinsntlnfled with Ills Wife. KOKOMO. Dec. 20 Special. A romantic maxiiage, that took place here Thanksgiving eve, bid9 fair to culminate In the wreck of the matrimonial bark. The prineipt's to the wedding were Charles Moore, a wealthy Monroe county farmer, aged eighty years, and Mrs. Amanda Pierce of this place, aged sixtyfour. They have not lived together since the ceremony and the groom has applied for a divorce. The couple in early childhood were lovers, high spirited, strong-willed and stubbora, a characteristic that remains with them yet to a remarkable degree. A lovers' quarrel and separation by removal threw their lives in different paths. Both married other companions, reared large families and accumulated a goodly share of this world's goods in the half century that has since passed. A few years ago their consorts were removed by death. Later the lovers of fifty years ago met again. The old flame was rekindled in their aged bosoms and culminated in a speedy wedding, the ceremony being at the home of the bride in this city Thanksgiving eve. The nup'ials over, the venerable gTOom returned to his twelve-hundred-acre farm, near Bloomlngton, and the bride began packing her goods to follow. Then the changv-d her mind. She concluded that It was not the proper thing for her to leave her children and grandchildren so far away and informed the groom that he must come to Kokomo and live with her. This turn of affairs did not suit Mr. Moore. He had the household all prepared for its new mistress and contended that he could not afford to comply with her request; that his business interests would suffer thereby and finally informed her that if she wanted to live with him the must come to his home. -The bride refused to comply and the piqued groom brought matters to a focus yesterday by filing ar application for divorce In the Monroe county courts.

This week's court has been taken up with a case coming here on change of venue from Hendricks county. Some time in February last a German by the name of John Kahler departed this life while residing at Danville, Ind. A few months prior to his death he took out a policy of life insurance for $1,000 in the Union central company of Cincinnati. The company resisted payment on the ground that Kahler committed suicide, and that he was a drinking man. The evidence showed that the deceased on the night prior to his death purchased a box of "rougn on rats" and the next morning was found in his room complaining of his stomach, and soon after died, with all the symptoms of poisoning. A tumbler containing "rough on rata" was found in a slop barrel in a room adjoining the one in which he died, but deceased denied having taken poison. The insurance company asked the court to make an order permitting them to exhume the body for the purpose of having a chemical analysis made of the stomach and liver, offering to pay all the expense, but this was denied. Another line of defense was that the deceased was a drinking man, and had stated in his application for insurance that he was a "total abstainer." It was shown during the trial that he purchased beer by the can, and the barber who had frequently shaved him, spoke of smelling beer on his breath and seeing him intoxicated. The jury, however, returned a verdict last night for the full amount of the policy and 6 per cent, interest. A new trial may be asked as no demand had been made on the insurance company for the money by the administrator before suit.

Previous to the banquet a business meeting of the Ifpi.n was h-li and the ell and mu'-h vexed question of the salary cf th re? i.-Jer came up f:r consiJeratbn. A warm contest was sprung during the discussi a. and it was net until an hour afterward that the matter -sas finally disposal cf n:u-h to the relief of all. Gen. Lew Wall ice preside! at the meeting as well as at th banquet, and on cither side of him sat the honored gu sts of the evening, MaJ.-Gn. D. S. Stanley of tha I'nited States army, with headquarters at Washington, D. C. ar.d MaJ.-Gen. Thomas J. WJ, retired, with headquarters at Dayton. O. G.n. Stanley w:w the commander of the FourLh corp3 at the battle of Mbsinn Ridge, while G-n. Wood was the division commander of Gen. Knefller. With the lighting t.f the cigars Gen. Wallace introduced Gen. Stanley, and th brave old general was received with prolonged shouts. All arose and the cheers were repeated tgain and again. The short address of Gen. Stanley was a dffense of himself as jtgainst the misstatements which had crept into history regarding the battle of Spring Hill, in which the Fourth corps was oppopd to the entire army of Hood for hours. Gen. Stanley was especially bitter against the author of "The March to thu .Sea." whose veracity and motives he impugned. He. also accuse! William II. Wherrltt, eommandingat Ft. Thomas, Ky with being the author of an anonymous letter printed in a New York paper reflecting upon Gen. Thomas and which caused th death of that commander. In "The March to the Sea" the author stated that Gen. Stanley had been wounded and had retired from the field early in the day, leaving him In command of the Fourth corps. This Gen. Stanley bitterly denounced as false. True, he had been wounded, but had been compelled to retire for but a few minutes in order to have his wound dre.-sed and ßecure a horse as a substitute for the one that had been shot from under him. In introducing Gen. Wood Gen. Wallace referred to him as the nun who had mustered In nearly every Indiana soldier, and this statement was concurred in by all present. "Gen. Wood made us all." was the general shout that went up. Gen. Wood spoke but briefly, expressing in happy words his pleasure at being once more among the soldiers of Indiana, and was followed by Gen. Knefner. Ml URIXCS SUIT FOR AX ACCOIXTIXQ AGAINST 1IKR Tlll'STEC.

She says that she was called to the side of her father, Edward M. Robinson, who was taken suddenly ill while on a business visit to New York in 1SS5. He told her that he was In the hand3 of conspirators, who would kill him If possible, and that she must guard her own life, as he had left hr all his property. He sent for his will, to see that it had not been changed, but before he could see it was murdered.
