NEW YoRK DIVORCE LAWYERS,


Chicago Tribune. 4
A shrewd female reporter Of the
New York Graphic lately made ap
plicaiion to the divorce lawyers Of
that city for separation from her
husband. Her statement Of the re
suits is probably not too highly coll
ored, and 1t affords an excellent il
lustration of the extent of the iniqui-
ty ia which these matrimonial brok~
ers are engaged. She informed one
of the divorce lawyers that she had
no cause Of complaint against her
husband that be was faithful and
indalgent, and that her only reason
for desiring a separation was that
she had become tired Nj s,natrimonial
life. The ''lamye sed her to
deserIEef husband i sib5se to New.
Jersey, and employ a detective,
promising within a reasonable time
to procure proofs Of her husbands
infdelity. The price of this ccnspi
racy was to be $3.50. Applications
to four other divorce brokers, with q
similar statement of the facts, result
ed in substantially the same manner
It has been no secret that the divorce
lawyers Of the United States have
promoted large share Of the separ
atoms between husband and Wits
that have occurred in this country,
and by making divorce easy, have
also made it scandalously frequent,
destroying the happiness of many
homes that but for them might have
been preserved.

MR. Fry set out to marry Miss
Boil In .A@herst, Mass. Their
names are fairly indicative Of the
difficulties they encountered. Her
father opposed the match, and she
sent to a family in WHICH her sister
lived. That sister, being also in
love with Mr.. Fry, locked her in a
room, and she only escaped BY jumps
ing from the window at night A
clergyman, called on suddenly to
perform the ceremony, read the hap,

the error was discovered. The de-
lay gave time for the father to arrive
and forbid the marriage The cou>
pie were united, however. and their
final trouble came from the groom's
creditors, who seized his baggage.

ing over lavender-scented sheets and soft
blankets, and finishing off with plump
pillow, and white spread quilted by
her own hands. Caterpillar's delight
was unbounded when, after being clad
in flannel night-gown, he was placed
IN the soft, fragrant bed.
"Like oranges, bub?" asked Miss
Wing, as she plunged her, hand into her
pocket. Now Caterpillar and oranges
had long been strangers, SO his eyes
glistened with pleasure when a huge
yellow one dropped on his bed.
MAY as well have this, too; faint no
use to me-" said she, tossing tinted
picture card on the bed. Then, turning
to the mother, he said: 'Them sheets
and things is to make the child comfort
able as long as she lives; you'll find good
vittles in that basket" And out she
bounced, leaving Caterpillar and his
mother in confused state of gratitude
and bewilderment.
The angel of mercy had touched Miss
Wings stony heart, and taught her the
infinite pleasure of giving. And as some
streams, when released from the icy fet-
ters that have bound them, rush on
with terrific force, overwhelming and
submerging, SO Miss Wing, suddenly
set free from lifelong bondage, yearned
to do more for some one else. So she
sent telegram early next morning,
which dropped like a bomb-shell into
the little parsonage at Hopewell:
"Bring all the children to dinner; TIL
pay the expenses"
There had been great deal of COM
motion in that little house before, but
never anything equal to that which fol-
lowed the receipt OF this telegram.
Milly's heart misgave her as she washed
faces and tied on hoods and tippets, for
she felt that nothing less than miracle
could change cousin Selma. But after q
grand sleigh.ride they found her ready
to receive them, dressed in her best black
silk and snowy apron-the grim look in
her face very much softened.
The little Thornes had never in their
lives eaten such dinner as she had
ready for them. They did everything
they pleased, even to eating apples in
the parlor and cracking nuts on that
shining kitchen floor. But, best of oil,
when they were going home she tucked
a $50 bill in Mr.. Thorne's hand, and
when he tried to thank her she said:
$50 long, Bob Thorne; there's plenty
more where that came from"
So "Bob" Thorne went along, rejoic-
ing for the spirit which had moved Miss
Thorne's heart and gwen them all such a
happy Thanksgiving.

A FATHERS TERRIBLE DEED:
A Father Kills His Daughter, Shoots His
Two Sous and then Himself.
rFrofn the New York World

LG1oA1 ZIG GSeW 1OCA NOTlQsl
About 8 o'clock last night Henry
Hauzmann, aged 40, native of Wabern,
Hesse-Cassel, employed as a porter by
Holzinger & Bruckheimer, Of No. 1893
Broadway, nearly carried out O. long
standing threat of DISCRIMINATING his
family by shooting and killing bis
daughter Martha, aged years, at No.
Is Chrys6ie street, and afterwards shoot
ing and fatally wounding his son Adam,
aged 4 years, in the breast. and also his
son John, aged 8 years, and then dis
charged his revolver twice at his own
breast, inaicting probably fatal injuries
The apartment occupied by the Hauz-
manns is miserable suite Of three
rooms on the rear of the third floor of
the tenement house. One room was used
as kitchen and sitting room, the others
as bedrooms. Hauzmann married his
wife Elizabeth eleven years ago, when
she was II years old. They had five
children, of whom John, Adam and Mar
tina are the survivors. She was the
daughter OF one Haeh, who kept a lager
beer saloon at First avenue and Fifth
street. On the night of his marriage
Hauzmann's wife claims he gave her
black eye because her father would not
give him money to start lager beer
saloon.
The married life of the couple is said
to have been one continual drunken dis
cord. Until last night, however, he
never drew weapon, using his fist only.
His wife was last night suffering from
bruises and had two black eyes. Dur
ing yesterday Mrs. Hauzmann employed
a man to put up her pulley-ine, and
gave him Is cents and o pint of beer,
which she shared with him. She drank
at other times during the afternoon, and,
according to the neighbors, was not So
Der when, about 5 o'clock, her husband
returned from work partly intoxicated.
He began quarreling about the pulley
line and about his supper. He went
down stairs into saloon, where he drank
two glasses of wine, and about 7 o'clock
went back to his apartment and renewed
the quarrel with his wife. About 8
o'clock he sent out for beer, offered
glass of it to his wife, and, while she
was drinking it, said: ''That is the last
glass of beer you will drink with me-"
Mrs. Hauzmann paid no attention to
this menace, and thought that her hus-
band was appeased, but-as she relates
the story-he jumped up suddenly,
pulled out a revolver, and, rushing into
the middle room where on bed lay
asleep his daughter Martha and his son
Adam, fred at Martha, killing her in
stantly, the ball passing through her
heart. As Mrs. Hauzmann entered the
room her husband fred at David, and
Mrs. Hauzmann rushed to the door of
the sitting-room. Just then John ran
into the middle of the room to see what
was the matter, and his father fred at
him, but the boy managed to run out to

Shocking Scenes on the BattI p FieIds-In-
humanity that Seems Incredible.
A private letter received in Washing
ton from a gentleman serving with the
Russian army around Plevna says:
con the evening of the Goth of Sep
TENDER the Roumanians sent forward a
white flag bearing the red cross of Gen
eva, desiring a truce to bury the dead.
They were fired upon, and two officers
and some men were killed. The dead
lie In large masses on the steep hillside
just north OF redoubt No. 2, and can be
plainly seen from the opposing heights.
A few days since the dead bodies became
SO swollen in tie process of decomposi-
ton that they began to roll down the
hill. The Turks fred fusilade at them
for fifteen minutes, thinking they were
wounded men who had partially recov-
cred and were trying to escape. This
treatment is unexampled in modern war
fare. [ hear that the troops of Mehemet
Ali asked for a, truce to bury the dead, but
at the two battles of which [ can speak
from personal knowledge there has been
no truce for this purpose, although it has
been demanded by the Russians, and the
demand met by bullets.
'Six days sitter the battle of the 18th
Of September [ passed along the ad-
vanced pickets in front of Radiseno, and
there saw the corpees of the men who
had fallen in Kirlow's assault not only
unburied, but hauled away from the
vicinity of the redoubt and dumped in a
mass three or four feet deep in the
sunken road. The stencil of decomposi-
ton was noticeable at a distance of a
mile and half. have every reason to
believe they are still there. This por-
ton of the ground is entirely within the
Turkish lines.
"At Schipka the odor of the unburied
became so offensive two weeks after the
first fighting that the Russian surgeons
were endeavoring to abate it by the use
of disinfectants on a grand scale.
con the other hand, after the Turkish
attack at Squalevitza, on the 31st of Au-
gust, I rode over the whole field the
second day, and the last of the dead
Turks-of whom nearly 1000 were left
on the feld-were then being buried.
The Russians were buried apart, and
the immense graves marked by cross.
The Turkish graves had no mark, but
otherwise there was no difference in
their burial.
