CHIEF ENGINEER CRONIN EXPLAINS.
Chief Engineer CrOnin on Saturday addressed
letter to the District Commissioners. replying
to the complaint made by the superintendent of
property relative to the use of certain horses
belonging to the District by Engine company
No. 4. He says that he had always understood
that in cases of emergency any or all of the Dis
trict's horses. which are stabbed on the grounds
OF No. Engine company, were at the service of
the fire department.. On the occasion referred
to it was absolutely necessary that extra
horses should be secured for No. 4 company
and those spoken of were promptly taken. Had
they not been available the animals of private
citizens would have been employed at the ex-
pense of the District. 1t has not been nor is it
the practice of the fire department to use these
horses except in cases OF extreme emergency,
and under those circumstances they have only
done so. ''In conclusion" the letter says. l beg
leave to state that l am always ready and anx-
lOus to observe official cOurteSieS. and had time
permitted would have been glad to make formal
request for the use of the horses when they were
needed but the exigencies of the case rendered
that impossible"

A HUSBANDS ANSWER TO HIS WIFr,s R1r1 pop
DNORCE.-TO-day, in the case of Emma La Porte
against Eugene b. La Porte, bill for divorce on
the ground of adultery, the defendant filed his
answer and cross bill by Mr. A. b. Williams.
He denies the charge that he has failed to sup
port his family, and says that it is slanderous
and untrue, as also the charge of cruelty and
neglect, and says that he was in the habit of
pawning his ring, but says he did so because
there was absolute necessity to obtain food for
the family. He states that the plaintiff deserted
him at the solicitation of her sisters, Mrs. d. V.
Hicks and Miss Ida Walker, living at 718 18th
street, who rent furnished rooms to gentlemen,
and he believed that immoral practices are
allowed there, and he had objected to his wife
going to that house, but she had persisted, and
stated to him that she could make more money
than he did. He denies the charge of adultery
against him, and says in regard to his taking his
child from her, that he did SO because he was
informed that it was to be sent away. The cross
bill filed by La Porte charges Mrs. La Porte with
deserving him, setting forth that on October Sth.
1873, she deserted him, having stripped the
house Of furniture.
