MIND AGAINST HER HUSBAND.
From the New York Herald. to-day.
Thomas ]. Noblett began suit against the Rev.
Richard II. L Tighe, pastor OF the Grace Protest
ant Episcopal chapel, In the supreme court OF
Kings county, yesterday, to recover 900 for de-
famation and unlawful prosecution. He alleges
In his complaint that the defendant visited his
home when he was absent and instilled into the
mind of his wife certain slanderous and malicious
tales. Among other things 1t is charged that the
reverend gentleman told the plaintiffs wife that
plaintiff was unfaithful to her and was an habit
ual drunkard; that IN sequence OF these state
mentS the plaintiff was locked up In the Kings
county fnebriates' home, and that thereafter, and
In consequence OF those Stories his wife sued for
divorce, and on his discharge from the home had
MIN arrested on charge OF assault and battery,
Ior whlch ne was sentenced to fifty days In the
pententiary.
The Rev. Mr. Tghe was not to be seen last night,
put his counsel produced an affidavit made by
Mrs Noblett on June last, In which she says
that on January % her husband was drunk and
she sent for Mr.. Tighe, who had an interview with
her husband. Mr.. Nobett promised to reform
The amdavit asserts that when the couple lived in
Staten Island Noblett tried to kill his wife and
Children Mr.. Tighe'S lawyer said that the reason
this affidavit was obtained was that after Mr.. No
blett left the inebrate asylum he became insanely
jealous OF his Wife and accused her of undue init
macy with Mr.. Tighe, an accusation utterly with
out foundation.

From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The fact that the majority of telegraph oper
ators are comparatively young men without
recollection Of the only other great strike through
which the Western Union Company has had to
pass, accounts perhaps, for the fact that few al
lusions have been made thus far to the operators
strike of 1870. Last week Secretary Brewer
coming down from the operating room after q
two hours work at the key, said: 81 saw at q
glance when went upstairs that the strike was
not going to be as serious matter as that of
1870. Then 1 went back to the KEY as now and
found not more than ten desks occupied" This
is the view that other officers of the Western
Union Company took ofthe first strike. Several
OF them remembered it wildly, for the reason
that they were active participants in the fight
on one side or the other General Eckert was
then general district superintendent; ex-Goyer-
nor Cornell, now on the subcommittee on
grievances, was then newly elected vice pres
ldent; John Van Horne, now a vice president
of the company. was then general manager at
Louisville; and one of the operators who left
him in the lurch thirteen years ago was Mr..
Someryille, at present the manager Of the Press
Service; Superintendent Humstone was also
among the strikers. The strike terminated Mr..
Someryilie's career as practical teegrapher,
since, when the operators capitulated he sought
and obtained work in a different branch of the
service. In recalling incidents of the strike q
few days ago Mr.. Somerville related that at
Tue ucSlIulnS Vi the .Stflke. In II0usvllle Mr..
Van Horne was left without q single operator.
Dropping his executive work Mr.. Van Horne
himself kept the wires open as best he could.
The circumstance touched the strikers amo ng
whom Mr.. Van Horne was popular and they
sent committee to their general manager and
offered to place at his disposal the best operator
in the city If he would himself cease work.
Mr. Van Horne appreciated the kind prompting
of the men, but declined their Offer

came in from the country faster. The New.
York office was left with only three operators,
but theentre force consisted Of only sixty-seven.
The growth of the telegraph business during the
last thirteen years is indicated In large degree
by the difference between this force and the
