Jr* -f \ LORD COLIN IN THE BOX, Both Lord and Lady Tarred With the Same Stick. 80ME 8EIT81TIOHAL STATEMENTS Ornatel for the Duke of Mvlborough and Lord Blandford DOTY AST IMPROPRIETY WITH HEB A last (Wednesday) night's London cable says : The trial of the Colin Campbell divorce case was resumed to-day, Lord Colin Campbell continuing his testimony. Previous to the resumption of Lord Colin's examination Lady Colin's counsel were informed by the judge that the court refused to order Lord Colin to give further security for his wife's costs. Lord Colin Campbell testified that Lady Colin had admitted to him that in July, 1HK3, while he was il!, she had received two or three letters a day from the Duke < Marlborough, and had also n-<- iv. .1 a number of letters from Gen. Butler. These letters, however, she refused to sho* to the witness, although requested to do so. Upon being pressed for an answer by the judge, Lord Colin said he was sure that at the time he had also asked Lady Colin if she had brought anybody home with her from the ball which she had attended on the previous night, and that her ladyship had denied bringing anybody with her. Here Mr. Blood. Lady Colin's father, arose in court, and. shaking his flat in the witness' face, said : In making these infamous charges against your wife it's not the first time that you have lied." Mr. Blood was sharply " reprimanded by the judge. Lord Colin Campbell, resuming, said that on the occasion of his asking Lady Camp bell to show him the letters, she said to him that unless he signed a paper before fee left the room, binding him to live apart from her. she would go to her solicitor for advice. The witness refused to be coerced or intimidated into signing such a paper, and asked Lady Miles, who was present, to go with him to another room, which she did. After a conversation with Lady Milei witness returned with her to hold a family council with Lady Colin, to whom Lady Miles said : Colin desires me to say that be has made no charges against his wife." The witness then expressed to his wife his willingness to submit the condition of his health to a medical commission, and agreed if the result should be unfavorable to him to accept her conditions. But he stipu- lated that Lady Colin must abandon her correspondence with the Duke of Marlborough. Lady Colin, witness said, would not agree to this, and referred him to her solicitor, at the same time refusing to sac him alone thereafter. Wit- ness denied that he had bean guilty of adultery with Mary Wataon. and testified that be had taken action looking to his wife's arrest in Paris under the advice of his solicitor. Upon crosa-examination I.onl Colin said he had never studied surgery, but had attended lectures on gynaecology and anatomy in the College of Hnrgeois, and possessed sufficient knowledge of the for- . mer science to be able to say that l..i\ ' Colin Campbell had had a miscarriage. Witnes said his first illness occurred in 1H7'2. He wax afterward Attacked by a wimilar illness in 1H76. wh' h he did not fully recover from until 1NH4, when he became perfectly well. Witnens remember- ed the trial of his wife's limited divorce case in 1HH4, and recollected that a juror then asked him to say whether he had unffered from any disease capable nf being communicated to his wife. He also heard his counsel say st that trial that there was not a single charge nf any kind against Lady Colin Campbell. r.lli-n Brown and Mrs. Duffy, witness said, had told him in July, INKS, what they wonld testify to, and witness believed that their statements had been admitted. Wit ness often remonstrated with his wife about taxing her strength. When asked if Lady Colin had ever lied to him, witness said she had often " used deception." Lady ('. cor- responded with witness regularly after she left him in 1HH3 until the final rupture between them. He had kept only one of the letters he had written during that time, which was dated in December, 1HH8. The letter began : " Darling Boy," and was signed Your Arab." Witness admitted saying at the previous trial that he had told his wife to take precautionary remedies to prevent her having children. (Sensation.) Lord Colin testified that hia means were limited, and that Lady Colin had provided 1,000 to furnixh the house he had occupied. Lady Colin had bought the furniture and decorated the house her- self. Witness admitted that he had twice been afflicted with an infectious disease, the first time in 1H70. The case was then adjourned. A last (Thursday) night's London cable says : Lord Colin Campbell's side of the divorce case was concluded to-day. The Duke of Marlbnrongh's counsel opened for the defence. He said the Duke was fear- less of threats, and would appear as a witness and swear that the charges were groundless. The alleged case against the Duke consisted of ordinary incidents. The Hmall talk of society had been turned into allegations of impropriety. The only exceptions were the exceptions of Pnrfleet and Leigh Court, and he would treat of these especially. Lady Colin's life wan devoted to charitable works, and wn inconsistent with the charges brought against her. Kven if the Pnrfleet and Leigh Court allegations were true, could the jury say there had been adultery ? The correspondence with Lord Blandfonl related chiefly to the borrowing of books. Lady Colin was engaged in literary pur- miitx ; she wrote books and worked at journalism, and she frequently found it necessary to borrow books of reference. The Leigh Court charges rented entirely upon the evidence of Rons User, whom nobody could trust. The Duke'x counsel declared that Lady Campbell and the Duke did not occupy adjoining rooniH at I^eigh Court. Lord Colin knew the facts of the Pnrfleet incident long before the last trial, { yet he then stated that he had no suspicion ' arain-rt his wife. If Lady Campbell had been guilty of adultery they could not have obtained a judicial separation. If Lord Colin was honorable, how could he now without further evidence bring this trumped up charge ? Counsel admitted that Lord Hlaiidford was at Purneet, but declares} that he was there alone. Lady Campbell wonld account for every hour of her time between Saturday, August 12th, and Mon- day, August 14th. He trusted the jury was n.it | juiihfil aganmt the Dike of Marl- borough on account of his previous appear- ance in the Divorce Court. The Duke had not opposf.i Lord Ayleeiford ; on the con- trary, n* bod made what amends he could by offer'. K to marry Lady Aylesford and Mettlinr xUP.OOO on her child. Mr Uully, on behalf of Captain Shaw, 8iu '..is client would deny upon oath that he had ever had improper relations with Lady Campbell. The story of O'Neil was an absolute fabrication. Captain Shaw was an nM friend of the lady's family and a man . i unsullied life. The case was then adjourned. A London cable says : Lady Colin Camp- bell testified in her own behalf vesterday. Hhe entered the witness box muni profound silence. She was very pale and testified in a slow, distinct voice. She said that until the family meeting at Thurlow square in 1888 she had exchanged letters daily with her husband when absent. Before their marriage Lord Colin asked her if she would consent, when married, to their occupying separate rooms. She consented and Lord Colin asked her not to divulge the fact that he had made this request, but she insisted on telling her mother. The nature of hi illness was unknown to her until May, 1883. She never pressed Lord Colin to marry her, but her mother disliked long engagements. In reference to her career, she stated that she was educated in Italy and spoke Italian and French before she learned the English language. She sang, painted and wrote books. She was also a journalist. She sang at forty charity concerts, not one of which Lord Colin attended. She taught night classes of factory girls, visited the poor in the day-time, and served soup for two hours, and worked daily among the poor of Saffron Hill. Lady Campbell gave her evidence with perfect composure and the fullest self- Mesession. She gave ready responses to ;he questions asked. She wore a plain blue serge dress and black bonnet. Her whole style was that of simple elegance. She in tall, lithe and shapely, and has full black glowing eyes, with a clear pallid com- lexion. The Queen has forbidden the admission iitu the household of Windsor Castle or within the Castle precincts of newspapers containing reports of the Campbell divorce case.

Cdwird Stanhope, Colonial Secretary, has sent a despatch to the Governors of colonies under responsible governments, and a ircolar to the Govsraon of colonies not wssessing that form of government, an- louncing the Queen's summons to a con erence to be held here next spring to dis- cuss the subject of Imperial federation. In he opinion of Her Majesty's Government he question is urgent and capable of use- nl consideration on the subject of organiza- ion for military defence. The time has arrived, the despatch says, for a better understanding between the Imperial Gov- ernment and the colonies. A system of defence should be established throughout the I .input ; but no new project, entailing heavy ex|>eiiditure. is contemplated. Postal anil telegraph service, second only in im- portance to the question just referred to, needs consideration! n the interest of the re- quirements of every part of the Kmpire. The Colonial Secretary deprecates the discussion of any scheme for the political federation of the Kmpire until colonial opinion has been ascertained. The proposed conference will be purely consultative, and will consist of the Agent-General and one public man from each colony, the Colonial Hecretary presiding.

A Brussels cablegram says : The explorer Ludwig Wolff, just returned from the Congo, has been interviewed by your cor- respondent and reports having met in the Sankourou region many tribes of dwarfs, generally measuring lens than four feet, boardlesti and with short and woolly hair. They live by hunting and are wonderfully agile and good-tempered. Many thousands of them are dispersed over this wild region and are known under the name of Batonas. They mix very little with the full-grown population. This, says Wolff, confirms the ancient conjectures of Herodotus and Aris- totle as to the existence of a race of pigmies in Africa.

THE CAMPBELL SCANDAL Lady Colin's Letter to the Duke of Argyll. WHY SHE DID HOT LIIE HEB LOBD A London cablegram says : On the cross examination the following correspondence was read amid the most profound silence and attention in the court : " No. 79 CADOOA.N PLACB, 8.W., I August 15th, 1883. j MY DBA* DCXB, As, DO doubt, you will soon be leaving town, and as it in not likely I shall ate you before you go, I hope yon will not think it ill-befitting that I, as your daughter-in-law, should give yon some explanation, painful as it may be to bothol us, of the causes which have led to the pre sent deplorable state of affairs between Colin and myself. He ban told me plainly that he will separate from me unless I consent to cohabit with him, and he Dentists in this decision. In justice to myself I cannot consent to a private separation. If we are to separate, the reasons for my refusal to live with him as his wife must be known openly. BITTER SARCASM. " (.ill-, have illusion-,, and to be first mi tiated into the mysteries of matrimony by being given a cutting from a doctor's letter in which I was recommended as a salutary prescription would shock any girl in lovi with the man who thus treated her. Throughout, this idea of my usefulness seems to have been the principal one. If I tried to interest him in anything I had seen or heard, if I tried of my own ac- cord to do some little thing to please him, all my efforts were met with absolute inat- tention ; but if any trifle put him out I was the scapegoat. "Many times, about such trifles as my wearing a linen collar or a serge dress, he has sworn at me and ordered me to leave the house, as if I were a servant, and this before we had been married a month. Hii treatment, his curses alone, would have been enough to arouse most women. HION8 or ILL TEMPER. With regard to his women servants. I was made into a sort of go-between. When he constantly ill treated them, even to the extent of striking them and knocking them down, I was sent for to soothe and console them, so as to try and persuade them to excuse his behavior and return to him. I have had to leave my room at uight and go and sit with the nurse for hours, with my arms around her, when she was sobbing from his personal violence, and nuke ex- cuses for him in every way I could imagine. Then, after one of these outbursts, he would think nothing too good for these women, and on one occasion, when he was ndignant at one of them for Uyingto make mischief between him and me, he told ma I xhoul.l not be angry with my poor little woman, as. of course, she was jealous of me. NOT JKALOCS in i ! Certainly, the two extremes over Familiarity one hour and positive violence the next that he indulges in are not likely to increase my respect for him nor enable me to keep on its pedestal the Colin I fell in love with. I am not a jealous woman in any way, Aid I have the greatest contempt for people affected with that vice, but even I could not fail to remark the ilinYren.'i- between the absolute ignoring of my presence in his room and his effusive delight when any one else came in. Forgive me for writing so long a letter and for entering so much into details such ax these that my life for the last two yean has )* . made up of. I thought it only right and fair t you, as my husband's fathei . should have some idea of what the real state of things have been. ASKS TO BE I.M \i OM . I have left out entirely the question of how much my health has suffered in every way, but if you will take that a little into consideration, joined with what I have described in this letter. I hope you will see that the one thing I ask for, non-moleota- tion, is, under the circumstances, not a very outrageous request. If Colin persists in his refusal, the whole question, with all its details, will have to he decided in open court. It is he alone who has forced me to this course against my will. There is none other open to me which in justice to myself I can pur- sue. If he will not ..'runt me the protec- tion that I ask I mnst obtain it otherwise. " Again, I must ask you to forgive the lengthened detail of this letter. " Believe me, your affectionate OKRTRnuB ELIZABETH COI.IN CAMPBELL. " THK HOIK'S RKPLT. In reply to this oame the following: LONDON, August 16, 1888. The Duke of Argyll has received Lady Colin Campbell's letter of the 15th. He has also heard from his son, Lord Colin, of the accusations which Lady Colin has brought against her husband in the form of a petition to the Divorce Court. "The Duke ban heard from Lord Colin also, and has reason to know from other sources that them accusations are false. i, therefore, can only regard Lady Colin's letter to himself threatening further legal proceeding)! as written in pursuance of the attempt at intimidation which has already been tried unsuccessfully with Lord Colin. Tender these circumstances, Lady Colin will understand i> ..t the Duke must refuse further communication or corres- pondence with her ladyship." Tins correspondence was anterior to the first suit, which resulted in a decree in favor of Lady Campbell.

A REMARK A RLE HKPARATION. Voluntary Parting- After Fourteen Yrani o Happy Married I.lfr. A Halifax despatch says : One of th< most extraordinary social sensations ever known in Halifax came to the surface to day, when Prof. Humichrast separate! from the woman to whom he had been married fourteen years baoanse he did not believe that in the sight of God he is her husband. Prof. Bumichrast is the most cultured literate and linguist in this part ol Canada. He was formerly Professor ol Modern Languages in King's College Windsor. Bubsequeiitly, he was editor ol a Halifax newspaper, and for some years he has been Principal of the Uirton House where the sons and daughters of the aris tocracy of Halifax finish their education. This school is supported by Bishop llmm-y and the leading men in his diocese. Fourteen years ago Mr. Humichrast fell in love with the handsome young widow ol Charles Almon, a lieutenant in the Royal British Artillery and HOH of a wealthy Nova Bcotian politician. When M. B. Almon died he left his son's widow a for- tune. After the engagement Sumichrast told her that when a youth he had mar rieil a dashing French girl in his Hungar IHII home. Their life had been an unhappy one. They were divorced, he had never heard from her since, and he believed she was dead, but if alive the divorce was per fectly legal. Mrs. Almon was satisfied, and married Mr. Bumichrast. Years ago Prof. H. Y. Hind, the British expert witness be- fore the Fishery Commission, held a pro fetutor's chair in King's College. He be came friendly with Kumichrast, and found out all about his previous history. At a recent meeting of the church synod radical differences of opinions sprang up between Bishop Binney and Profs. Bumicnrast and Hind, were continued at the Governing Board of King's College, of which >11 three were members, and Hind employed an Edinburgh lawyer to fer ret out the history of Bumichrast before he came to Canada, and the whereabouts of his first wife. It was found that she liH.l married a French officer and is now living in Algiers. Then Prof. Hind ad- dressed a circular to all the Kpiscopal clergymen of the diocese, declaring that Bishop Binney was backing up Prof. Humi- hrast, a man whom he knew for years had l>een living with a woman not his wife in the eyes of the Church. This produced a crisis. When Bishop Binney called his attention to Hind's attack he acknowledged that, seeing that hia first wife, whom he had for ong years thought dead, waa still living, in the eyes of the Church his second marriage was unlawful, and he immediately deter- mined to separate from wife No. 1 and regard wife No. 1, living with the French officers in Algiers, as hia only lawful spouse. He went home and communicated lis resolve to the woman with whom he lad lived happily for fourteen years. The >low fell upon her with crushing effect, bat Uu a heroine ahe agreed thai it was the only thing they could honorably do, and she immediately left her home and sought the protection of Rev. F. R. Murray, her pastor, at whose house she now is. Kt'NKRAI. AND WKDDINO. A Very Took in KplMMto Wfcloh Plaeo In Ottawa. An Ottawa despatch says : An extremely romantic marriage which took place hare vesterday furnishes subject matter for all :hs young people of the city. The facts are briefly these : Miss Elizabeth King, of Rochesterville, a maiden lady 82 years of age, died on Sunday last. Hhe was pos- sessed of considerable wealth, estimated at about 9100.000. principally in real estate securities. In her will she left it all con- ditionally to Miss Chrissie King, a young lady of 19, who had lived with her as com- panion, and to Gilbert Allan, s young man if M, who had paid considerable attention to Miss Chrissie and had won the favor of the old lady. The condition was that the young couple should be married to each the day the testatrix waa buried. The burial took place at il o'clock yester- day and at 4 the marriage ceremony was celebrated in the house of recent mourn- ng. The happy groom is the son of Hugh Allan, retail dry goods merchant. on. of the <niiii.lt.-ll.. I notice a remark that Lady Colin Camp xll was so proud of her connection with lie Argylln that she wore, at one of the Queen's drawing-rooms, a dress on which were emblazoned the Campbell arms. This is incorrect. Lady Colin never wore any such dress at a drawing-room. The person who wore it was Lady Archibald Campbell, her sister-in-law. Lady " Archie " is very SBHthetic and this wonderful gown of hers was sn artistic adaptation to modern ideas of a niedianval costume. On it not only were the Campbell arms worked, but those of her own family, the Callanders of Craig- forth, which, though it may not date back to ll*o. when the first MacCallum More was knighted, is still an old family.

Drrwdful Osl* on In* HrltUk C*sut- ii Life sad Property, A last (Wednesday) night's London cable says: A terrible gale, accompanied by lightning and thunder, prevailed last night and this morning in the southern ooanties of Kngland and in the Channel, where a number of vessels were wrecked. At Brighton much damage was done to pro- perty. Throughout the Tnited Kingdom rain and hail fell. The storm caused wide spread disaster. In Scotland there was also a heavy fall of snow. The gale abated somewhat during the day time, but raged with increased violence dnrina the night over the whole Kingdom. In the west of Ireland the storm wa terrific. Steamers are delaying in making Queenntown, and all the harbors are n'llnd with ohipping. The high tide at Limerick is flooding the warehouses the water front, and at Armagh the spinning mills have been stopped by floods. I>amage to property, accidents, and some cases of houses being net on fire by lightning are reported from all parts of the Kingdom. A French vessel foundered off Dymchurch and six persons were drowned. On the Danish coast many vessels have been wrecked. Four ships struck on the Klsinore breakwater. The gale wan of unprecedented violence. At Liverpool and on the Isle of Man the baro- meter sank to the lowest point within the memory of man. The storm is now passing to the eastward of Scotland. Telegraphic communication on the Continent is greatly interrupted. Heavy damage was done at most of the seaside holiday resorts, where trees were uprooted and many persons in- jured by falling tiles and chimneys. It is taared there has been a great loss of life. The papers had no telegram from the Con- tinent last night. ATTACKED HV AN KACU.K. Two Mer. Have Hattle with an Knornonn Hir.l of Freedom. A Minneapolis, Minn., despatch says : Prof. W. F. Carr and Samuel Curtis, who were surveying on Nioolet avenue, near the Washburn Home, were attacked yesterday afternoon by a large eagle. The bird droppgd down like a bullet, and, knocking Curtis' cap from his head, assaulted him with great fury. The man caught up a crowbar, and for a few minutes defended Himself in an unequal combat, calling uxtih for his companion. Prof. Carr coming up. the savage bird turned upon urn. caught him by the leg, threw him down, tore his trousers and, sinking his talons in the flrtthy part of his leg, inflicted a serious wooml. The bird then mounted to the collar of he unfortunate man and aeemed deter mined to bear him away bodily, but just at >his crisis other men came up, and by their united efforts the bird of liberty was finally conquered and secnrely pinioned.
