Mary Augusta Doran, the daughter o.I the Hon, Edmund Burke Wood, late Chief Justice of the Province of Manitoba, who died in 1S32, filed a bill In the Circuit Court yesterday, asking fox a diToroe from Jainea Frederick Doran, to whom aha was married tlarch 20, 1883, at Winnipeg, In the Province of Manitoba, Can. From that tune until II ay 1, 1883, ahe 11 Ted with him, and has been an affectionate wife. At tbe time of the marriage she was only 17 years of age. She aars she has been reared and educated as a lady, and was inexperienced in the arts and wiles of mankind, and quite unaccustomed to deceit or falsehood, of any kind. Her father, mother, brothers, and sisters had been indulgent toner, and her walk in life had been pleasant.

Tne defendant was an employe in a branch of the Bank of at Winnipeg and had the appearance of being a gnn tieman of truthfulness and honor. A snort time previous to the marriage he told her that his father was dead and that his grand lather was livinar in tne citr of Montreal. Quebec, and was a man of means and influence. He'had received a letter from his grandfather, wnose name was James Doran. requesting him to get married as soon as he could and come to Montreal with his bride to rende.

His grandf ather would place him in a lucrative position in a large salary, give mm in aauition siuu a montu. and bay for. him a house and furnish" it nicely. Tnis was in, order that the defendant and bis young bride cou id have a home and an income upon wnicn to live in a manner and style in keeping with the former life of the wife. Relying upon these representa tions and an assurance of his good character.

she married nim. Immediately thereafter they started for Montreal to reside in pursuance of tne letter so recoived from tne grand at tier. Before they rescued Montreal on the wedding journey, the Husband requested permission to carry h.s wife's money in order that it mignt oe safely cared lor, tne sum amounting to $400. When they reached Montreal there was no grandfather to receive them, lie took her to Lachine Kapids, a little village near Montreal, where James Doran resided. There she learned for the first time that no letter had been written by the grandfather.

Tne latter had never heard from any source that the defendant was about to marry, or contemplated matri. mony. Hue discovered that no position awaited her husband in Montreal or elsewhere, but on the contrary she was Informed that ber husband was a worthies voumr man. without a cent in the world or a reputation of any kind excepting as a thief, lie was a defaulter from the Bunk of Montreal in the sum of 11,500, and his grandfather naa ooen at great inconvenience in making good tne defalcation to save the young man from the penitentiary. Ibis fact was welt known in Montreal, und yonng Doran could not procure a position or earn a dollar in any honest avocation.

She asked him to re tarn to ner the money she nad given nim for safe keeping, and then learned that he had started upon the wedding trip without a dollar in nis pociteu lie nad usod tbe money given ber by an affectionate and good luotner. none oi wnicn was ever returned. Being convinced that her husband could not support her. sue telegraphed her mother to come at once to Montreal The mother au peared upon the scene and found ber daughter in a dilemma. The young wile made a final appeal to her husband for support and he frankly confessed that he could not earn a dollar to keep her In any position of life.

Hearing this she and her mother returned to Winnipeg. The mortification of such a hasty and unhappy marriage induced the broken hearted wile to press; otr ner late associations and friend. ships in Winnipeg and come to Chicago, In conclusion ahe declares that she has been willinir to cohabit' with defendant, provided be could obtain a position or do anything Whatever toward ner maintenance. The mil is baaed upon the ground ot non support. ano, me court is aaaea to authorize complain ant to resume ner moioen name.

Some time Monday tne police in the Twelfth Street District received a pointer that there was a quantity ot suspicions property stored in a barn owned and occupied by Mra Menard, at No. 177 Booth Morgan street A search warrant was accordingly taken oat. and early in the evening four officers paid the barn a visit.

THE LONDON SCANDAL. Tha Craud Jury Will Kot Meddle. A morning sheet stated yesterday, in language ot orgeons exaggeration that the present Grand Jury bad nnder consideration the subject of indicting the proprietors and ediiora of the sohool lot guardian of public i morals for publishing the aaiaclons details of the social evil given in the articles ot the fall Mall Gazette, and a little evening sheet followed with an equally blood curdling description of the venerable gentleman who editsi the morning sheet in question proceeding before the legal powers that be, and saying that he did not know he had been naughty and wanted to be fonriven.

The truth of the whole matter Is simply that the subject of the school sheet's sin has never been brought before the Grand Jury, and not even been dream pt of by tbe most advanced reformer in it In the second place, though, it is true that the proprietor of a morning paper visited State's Attorney Grinnell. accompanied by his lawyer. The Interview lasted only three minutes, and resulted in the gentlemen being told what has just been stated above, namely, that the Grand Jury bad not considered the matter, nor do they considering it It is also true that toe police authorities have submitted to State's Attorney Grinnell the matter of the publication of the J'alt Hall UaxftW articles, but this only refers to their publication entire in pamphiot form as a direct appeal to the salacious minded among the community and not as a legiti mate puimcauon oi tne news ot tbe day In uie regular uau press A on.sult Entered. G. Baldwin, the publisher ot the pam phlet containing the Chicago Tribune' re print of the Pall Mall a telle so called ex pose, waadismlssod by Justice Prindiville on a nonsuit being taken by Judge Wallace tor the prosecution.

One of the chief witnesses was the Hon. Joseph MedilL from whom, it is alietred, Baldwin received the plates oi the matter. The witness had not published it In bis paper, so he said, tor the purpose of making money, bat rather with the C'Uristlan like object in viow ot awaken sense of the awful crime in London tha people of Chicago. Chicago was THE DAILY rNTJEIt 0CEA1N, TTEBiNESDAT JULY 22 1885 TWELVE PAGHU. young, ahe was fair, she was forward.

Horrors sucu as those of tne modera Babylon were not practiced here, but to save ber youth and fairness from tha consequence ot ner forwardness tne UrmuHt bad puoiisuea the Gazette1 disclosures. Mr. Baldwin bad undoubtedly published the matter in pamphiet form witu a similar object in view, and none but philanthropists of the character of themselves oouid ever gness at the great good that bad been done tue people of Chicago by the printing oi tne terriuie ex pose; its influence upon home lite must be felt, and for the betutr. Dir. Baldwin ana adire Wallace tbouglrt likewise.

Justice Prindiville, who seemed to be about to dismiss the case, gave the olty a chanoa to take non suit, and that was none. Wlmt Harrison Sara. 'How about the MM Gazette busi ness? Are you going to prohibit the sale ot the paper In Chicago?" inquired a reporter for Tug Iktxb Gceax of Mayor Harrison, "Go and sea Mr. Doyje." The astute Chief ot Polio la not an easy man to "see" or to interview when it concerns matters on which be doesn't wish to express an opinion. He was found.

and was asked what he proposed doing: He answered that the sale of the reprint conies ot tbe scandal over the counters of booksellers and on the streets had been, temporarily at least. checked. The matter had been placed In the bands of State's Attorney Grinnell. who would consult with one ot the judges and decide whether the Grand Jury should be requested to Indict the papers and other publishers who have reprinted the objection able matter. It tne judge tnmu tne matter should go before tne Grand Jury be will doubtless instruct that body to act accord ingly.

Btiouid be decide otnerwise, tne notice will make no further objection to the Hooding of the streets with the matter. The police ascertained who the parties were who intended to reprint the scandal, and advised them not to isuo tbe matter until they were certain it would be safe to do so. They took tne runt and oeiayeu tne publication. i ne Chief thinks that should the Criminal Court Judge, to whom State's Attorney Grinnell win reier tne matter, decide against tne publication of the matter, the newspapers and other publishers would not attempt to sell the reprint THE LOST CHILD. Tiding Vet.

At midnight last night Mr. Schaffez was found by a reporter for Th Ixtes Ocbajt on the front steps of his house wailing patiently the result of the hbuse to nouse search of the officers. Mra Scbaifer had retired, com pletely worn out. At that hour nothing that would give solace to the unhappy mother had been reported. Later several officers were seen by the reporter, who said that tne search was beset by numerous obstacles.

Home people would oppose tbe search, and some were foreigners and could not be made to understand why the search was Instituted. It would require time ana labor to make the search, and it was hardly probable that the child would be found wuen the search was made. Mr. Bjuaffer is still bot etui that some trace of the child may yet be found. Mothers Apiwal for Ialy.

Tbe Mayor yesterday received a letter written in German and signed 'Many Moth ers," urging him to charge the police to use all possible seal in the search for the lost baby, Lily Schaffar. The mother of the little one, it is represented, is slowly sinking from tbe terrible blow she hus received in the loss of ner child, and should the search prove unavailing she is likely to die of a broken heart ine Mayor desires it to be Known that he will do all in his power to restore tbe little one to the arms of its grief stricken parents.

Joseph Not So Jolly, Joseph Chesterfield Mac kin still continues sitting on the uncomfortable stool of uncer tain expectations Hitherto full of hope, the continued delay in the arrival of the expected news of a supersedeas granted and tbe vision of the Penitentiary vanishing, aeemea to cast the cloud of doubt over his countenance last nurht in the County JaiL and now. Instead of expe ctlng favorable news, he simply reasons witn tne nearer as to wny is should not be favorable news when the news does come. All sorts of news comes from Galesbcrg and bprlngtteld and Lewleton, the latter being tne home of Jndge Shope. but the deduction from it all, if any, seems to be that all the Supreme Court Judges are running away from Mackin's persevering CounseL Mr. Storm.

Yesterday, however, it was not known whether Jndge Shope had returned to town. Mackin himself thinks, owinsr to bis setting no word from Storrs, that he haa son back to Oalesburg to try his application witn Jndge Craig, having found Judge Shone still out of town.

It is stated that should no news of a supersedeas being granted be received to day Mackin will be taken down to Joliet to morrow, to day being the last ot tne niteen aaya grantea oy the court to Mr. Starrs to prepare and make the application to uie supreme iourb Tbe Brldaw Company Insurance.

VARIOUS MEETINGS.

TBR WHISKT MEN. oaoaxizQia trspia law. The Western Export Association held the most important meeting yesterday of any slnoe its organization. Tbe early part of the day was spent in listening to speeches upon tha various plana tor cementing thejwhlsky interests and forming a combination whereby tbe product of the distilleries can be sold at a steady, uniform prloa It was said that the history of "pools" showed that they had worked in a way that was not only detrimental to the distillers as a class, bnt tha rules that governed them bad been so liberally construed that practically tbey had not been lived no to, tana causing ssatisf action among the members and disorganising prises. Tha determination yesterday was to agree upon some compact that would be binding upon every distiller who would become a party to it The money forfeit in case of a violation of tbe terms ot aa agresment, found more favor than several other plans suggested, but even this provision wsa deemed inadequate, as it oonia not be maae compulsory, ana im enforcement might lead to a disruption of the pool, or at least tba running ot independent concerns.

Tbe argument that finally prevailed was that favoring the establishment of a combination tnat would have a legal status; There were about fifty dia tillers present, and tbey all expressed a willingness to form aa incorporated body, a sort of oo stockarrangemena Under this arrangement tbe distilleries would be the common property of the association. No restrictions would be placed oa their running capacity, but the product would bs purchased by the association, and that Intended for domestic market would be paid for at tbe market prices, and that intended for export would be governed by the system at present in vogue. a committee waa then appointed to arrange tha details of aa organisation of this character, and It went to work last evening preparing tne by laws and constitution. The associa ttoa will meet this morning to listen to the report of the committee, and if satisfactory it will be signed and the organization will go into effect Sepl 1 next. Tbe present pool arrangements will continue until that time, tne running capacity ot tbe distilleries being limited to 20 par cent, and the assessment for August was fixed at 9 oenu per bashAi, which is for the benefit of the non running distilleries belonging to the pooh Toe present output of thi distilleries in the pool is 150,000 bushels per day.
