4 Chicago DINorrc HciuE TEstcd In the
pIIIsbuFsh Courts.

PIrrsBURGn, February "A case with
some peculiar and interesting ieaturesis on
the trial list in the Criminal Court to-day,
but will probably not be reached. A man
named John Weaver is charged by his
former wife with adultery, the other party
being his present wife. On November IL,
1878, Weaver and Airs. Margaret Clinton,
IL widow, were married by Alderman b. l..
Smith. OF Allegheny. They lived together
for about TWO years, when Weaver deserted
her, il il alleged, because she refused
to set him up in business with money
which she had earned by hurd LABOR over
the wash tub. Weaver went to Chicago,
procured a divorce, without his wile's
knowledge, returned here, and about June
last was again married 10 Miss Mary
CLARK OF East Liberty. Ills lirst vile sued
him for desertion and nonsupport, but
the case was decided against her in the
Court OF Quarter Sessions. The present
suit was then brought TO test the legality OF
the Chicago divorce. Tho defendant
claims that he was Tree man at the time
Of his second marriage, the charge will not
hold against him.

Delta's Position.

OF the different factors that have contribu-
ted to the growth of leading towns and cities,
too much importance cannot be given to geo.
graphical location. The caprice of trade, the
combinations of individual wealth or monopo-
lies, finally succumbt to the unyielding claims
of natural position, for its advantages are
permanent. They may be ignored for time,
but eventually the inevitable situation asserts
its pre-eminence.
Delta is located ut the mouth of the Uncom-
pahgre river, and claims as tributary to her
Importance, both the Uncompahgre and Gun
nison valleys, their rivers reaching to the
summit of the main range.
The Uncompahgre is a water grade to the
mines of San Juan. The Gunnison and its
tributaries, give descending grade from
quite mineral belt, and the great coal fields
of North Fork, Coal and Anthracite creeks.
4. twill be far more economical topull down
by gravitation the trains of mineral and coal
to the mouth of the Uncompahgre than to
use steam on an up grade to western San
Juau, or climbing over a pass to smelter.
Delta is the focus where coal and mineral
must gravitate; the point of least expense
reached by lines of least resistance. The Den.
yer & South Park once at Delta, and they
are virtually in San Juan.
From here to Ouray spreads the valley of
the Uncompahgre offering more than one
choice location for a first-class railroad
The altitude of Delta, less than 5000 feet,
is suitable for the most efficient smelling and
manufacturing establishments. The town is
surrounded by rich and fertile mesas free
from any Objectionable adobe soil, which can
be irrigated with little expense. Sixty to
seventy thousand acres of this land are on
the west of the Uncompahgre alone, while
several thousand acres of similar land lies
between the Uncompahgre and Gunnison
rivers, besides in close proximity to Delta,
are the rich valleys and mesas along Tongue
and Surface creeks.
Delta, therefore, enjoys the advantages of
natural position, that should claim the at
tention of capital and enterprise.
