The Demand for Divorces.

Amanda Clayton has applied for divorce
from Charles Clayton, to whom she was married
in August, 1880. She alleges that he has treated
her in n cruel. treacherOus and inhuman manner
and that he has been convicted OF grand larceny
wherefore she asks that she may be legally sep
arated from him.
Anna Murphy wants a divorce from william
Murphy, to WHOM she was married in Fort
Wayne, in 1877. She claims that he has wholly
failed to provide for the wants of herselt and
her son, whose custody she asks, and that he has
been guilty of gross cruelty, such as striking
and beating her
Emma Padrick also wants a divorce from her
husband, David Padrick. The complaint saws
that they were married less than a month ago,
Sept. %, and she "has always been a kind and
dutiful wife. ready and willing to DO all In her
power to make the defendants home one of hap
pness and contentment. but he has, from the
commencement of their married life, treated her
in such diabOlcal manner that the burden of
life with him is greater than she can bear"
Specific allegations are made that he has treated
her inhumanly, and that he deserted her one
week after marriage. She asks that her maiden
name, Emma Record, be restored to her.
In Judge HOwe's court yesterday the divorce
suit Of Fanny Drake against Harry Drake was
dismissed by agreement, as were also the habeas
corpus proceedings regarding the custody of
their child. Mr.. and Mrs. Drake have mutually
agreed to live together ana be happy once more.
