Wagner, got a divorce from John Wanner, a crippled mechanic in the railroad shops here who can earn ouly half wage, several mont ha ago. after four unsuccessful attempts, the simple statement of the husband having been sufficient to foil ber attempt for liberation. Wanner showed that he had no d sire to sever the tie, that he had aiwavs i. one his best to be a good husband and that tho unwilling nartner of his loya and sorrows ap peared to be thinking of something else, lie iinaiiy ureu ui. uguuuic and tht fifth tuit went against him, the usual penalty of the ali mony being attached. The day after iter divorce tne woman married a 10.0 county rancher, worth $300,000. Notwith standing tbia, she baa continued to pursue Wolfrom, insisting on alimony and the coats of the liti gation. Attorney Hiram John ston said the woman ought to be satisfied with the rich buabandebe had got. Judge Catiin remarked that that waa the way it -loosed to him. Attorney McKeene became excited and wanted to know if the case waa going to be decided with out giving hia aide a bearing. "Oh. 1 know all about tne case- replied the court. "I remember when the teatimony waa Deing taken and am familiar with it. This man is a cripple and not a round workingman. She has mar ried a man who ia more than able to pay all of her litigation ex penses." Mr. McKeene insisted that the fact that the woman's laathnaband was wealthy had nothing whatever to do with the case, but Judge Call in held to hia opinion and denied the application for alimony.

Are Arrested on Suspicion of Being the Perpetrators. N.apa Oct. C Sheriff George McKenzie has returned here with two men who are suspected of be ing the murders of Mrs. Green wood in February last. Teu days ago he left here armed with a rt q uisition from Governor Mark ham for the men who were then de tained i.i jail at Glendive, Mont. They give the ttamea of George and J. C. Dawson and say they are brothers, but the authorities are satisfied they are not brothers. They are held on a confession raid to have been made in a jail in North Dakota. The crime for which they are held is told as follows: A way farer on the road from Vallejo to Napa City early on the morning of rebruary 10, this year, in passing the Home Captain John U. Green wood, a wealthy rancher, found him lying in the road, his hands tied behind him and his person covered with blood from two pistol wounds in hia bead. He told a terrible tale of an assault by rob bera on the night previous Two men had attacked him, lit d him hand and - foot and drugged him. lhey had then compelled his wife to drink a potion of the same drug, after which they bad bound her hands and bound ber to a bed in an adjoining room. This done, they ransacked the houre, displacing every piece of lurmture in their search lor gold, but li tiding only $14 in silver. They then appeared to leave the house, for all was ailent, and Greenwood endeavored to free himself. He succeeded in break ing the cor J that bound his feet and crept to the bedside of his wife and called to her, bnt she did not answer, no donbt being under the influence ol the drug. After some efforts to arouse her Greenwood sank down exhausted by the bed and lay there until the clock struck 11, when he was aroused by voices out aide. The robbers had returned to complete their work, lhey took the cap tain out in the hallway, gagged and retied him and then shot him twice in the head. Believing him dead they left him and returned to where hia wife lay and shot her dead. They then left the house for good. Greenwood managed to crawl to the road and was there found. - The country about was intensely excited and posses scoured ihe hide in every direction, and ran down every clew, but without avail. Large rewards were offered and under tbia stimulus numerous arrests were made throughout the state, always of the wrong men. CALIFORNIA STATBJ GRANGE. Ueldlag IU Annaal Session With Ureal Saccass.

The citizen of Haywards have ar ranged a good reception to their visitors this evening. The people subscribed liberally, and the town ia now in holiday attire. Flags, streamers and floral decorations greet the eye along tin principal streets and the visiting grangers will find very hospitable people awaitiog their coming, and see one of the prettiest towns in the state most elaborately decorated. The hotels and private housea are able Vi accommodate all, and it is now estimated that fully 500 grangers and visi'oif will lie in attendance. Stagea will be provided free by the committee daily for the visiting grangers to aee the valley, and the street cara will also be tree to them during their stay here. G.

The most interesting and important armour plate test, so far as the country is concerned, will take place this month at the naval proving ground at Indiana Head on the Potomac. Last year the rosults were in favor of nickel steel as against all steel plates, and tbia year the attack will be mainly on the former, al though all steel plates will be fired at that noopKrtunity for practical comparison may be lost. There have been prediction that no foundry 011 this side of the Atlan tic could supply armour plate for the new United States vcssela of war, and that the navy department would be forced to go to Creugot, in France, where the victorious nickel steel was manufactured, or. all else failing, to Cammel & Co. in England, where the destroved compound plate of the Annapolis triala waa made. Almost within one year from the time of those triala, however, two companies have produced eight platea which are to be made the subject of tbia month a teat at Indian Uead. it will be interesting to note whether -these initial productions of do mestic foundariea equal or excel, iu all those qualities which go to make up a psrfect armour plate. the manufactures of more experi enced English and French foundar iea. There is no reason to believe. say ordnance experts, that tbia equality at leat-t fchall not be at tained, foreign processes ot man- -ufacture have been purchased by two domestic companies, and with improvements in the method of treat-sent suggested by the prover bial American ingenuity and in ventiveness, the expectation that better general results will be ob tained is not unreasonable. Such trials as have been held with email . plates of domestic manufacture have been eminently satisfactory, and the testa of the three-inch nickel plates of the Harvey process at Annapolis last May suggested the line of subsequent opertUon. Hallway Competition. St. Pai l, Oct. 0. It is announc ed that the Canadian Pacific and the "Soo" line are hurrying to completion the Pacific branch of the "Soo" from Hankinson,N.
