THREE DIVORCE CASES,
Tales That Cause CANCELS iu
Heaven to Weep."

Orphana Dawson has began an
action against Peter Dawson for a
divorce on the ground of cruel and in
human treatment. She states in her
complaint that she was married to the
defendant in this city Oh the 18th of
July 1879; that since that time the de-
PENDANT has become an habitual drunk
ard, and has often, when under the in
huence OF liquor, beaten and chOked
her. She also states that he h as failed
to furnish her with the neceSSarieS of
life, and has often taken from her
money she had earned by her own
labor and spent it for liquor.
Ellen MOylan, aged SiXty-three years,
asks for separation from John Moy-
Ian. aged seventy years, and for share
OF the property valued at $1,000. She
states that she was married to the de-
PENDANT at Cork, Ireland, on the 18th of
August, 1850, and that for several years
past the defendant has treated her in a
cruel and inhuman manner.
A decision was filed yesterday in the
divorce case of Lucy w. Wheeler
against Daniel Wheeler, granting the
plaintiff divorce and allowing her $500
per year alimony, and $50 attorney
fees. This case was tried week ago,
and the evidence was that these parties
were married at Boston, Mass, on the
18th day Of January, 1875, and that in
1883, while they were living in this city,
the defendant deserted his wife and
went to Chicago, where he was soon
after elected justice of the peace. This
Office he still holds, and from it he re-
celveS $1,000 per annum.

A PLEASANT REUNION
OF the Family of Prof. Williams
Social Notation

About as enjoyable and pleasant an
event as the Eighth ward social annals
record was family reunion which oc-
Cured yesterday at the residence of
Prof. F. S. Williams. 3045 First avenue
south. Gathered beneath the family
roof tree were the three generations. in
which death has never yet made gap.
and to the venerable couple was permit
ted the happiness of gazing upon fam
lily circle all but complete, three of the
thirty-two members being unavoidably
detained away. Prof. Williams and his
estimable wife are now enjoying halo
old age toward the close of life of I'M
usual usefulness. For a quarter of
century Prof. Williams has been init
mately connected with the public school
system of West Virginia, and for the
last ten years of that time was superin-
tendent of public instruction at Wheel
ing, which office he resigned In
1876, just after reelection, on
account of ill health. AS the
ardent champion Of the free school sys-
TEN, he wrote his history through the
statutes of West Virginia, and of nearly
every educational law he was the au-
thor or protector. Just after the war,
when the young state was striving to
COlllo W Tile lTOnt through the misery OF
test oaths and disfranchiSement, he en-
tered the lists for free schools and over
came all opposition, both at the bar of
public opinion and through the success
sive legislatures. His work was about
completed when he left the little COM
mOnwealth, and in the purer air of Min
nesata regained his failing health.
The reunion of yesterday brought to-
gether for the first time since manhood
and business pursuits had scattered
them, the various members of .the fam
lily, and it was made a gala occasion.
