THE DIVORCE RECORD.
Two Tried and Considered--.A
New One and Some Old Ones.

Il II
New One and Some Old Ones.
The divorce suit of Mrs. Mabie G.
Hunt against Charles G. Hunt, of the
Union Club saloon. which has been
hanging fire for so long, was taken up
before Judge Rea yesterday morning.
Mrs. Hunt, pleasant appearing
woman, dressed very neatly, took
the stand in her own behalf. She and
June IL, 1881, she said, and had lived to-
gether until she learned that he was
keeping company with other women.
On her accusing him of it he admitted
its truth and then left her. About two
weeks ago she went to the Union club
and there found a woman in his room.
She stated that once, while she was WIS.,
iting in another city, she heard that her
husband had another woman at the
house, and coming homo she found
strange clothes in her room. Mrs. Hunt
named Jennie T. Weldon as one of the
''strange idols" whom her husband had
been Worshiping. Two other witnesses
we're sworn and the case taken
under adyiSement. Mr.. Hunt did dot
appear.
five years of age, and looking as though
plicant for divorce from William Sig
gelkow, tifty-four years old. Her life
was not a pleasant one, she said. after
she married William. for he soon began
to develop an ugly disposition, and on
numerous occasions demonstrated with
her by siapping her face and flinging
his boots at her. He ealso called her vile
names. The woman's story was cor
roborated by five witnesses, two of whom
were Mrs. Siggelkow's little children,
neither of them ten years cid. All the
witnesses told very touching story,
and the case was taken under advise
ment.
Marian Moore has begun divorce pro-
ceedings against Elisha Moore, to whom
she was married in Walkerton, Canada,
May 16. 1878. In her complaint Mrs.
Moore alleges that in 1885 her husband
began a course of cruel and inhuman
treatment toward her, and frequently
struck her and tore her clothes, calling
her names all the time. In May, 1885,
Moore deserted his wife, leaving her to
make living as best she could. She is
twenty-five years Of age, While he is
nearly fifty.
The divorce suits of DR.. G. W. Ray
VS.. Mary j. Ray and Rhoda Shearer VS..

the calendar. while that of Mary Brank
VS.. Andrew Brank was dismissed. The
suit of Addie A. Dayton vs.. Edward A.

The Building Inspector Threatens
& to Resign His Position.

{ to Resign His Position.
If the city council persists in its
course with regard to the building de-
partment it is likely to have the pleas
;ure of electing new man to take
charge of the Office, as Mr.. Orff is very
indignant at the way he has been
treated. He Thinks, and not without
reason, that he should at least be given
his choice of the men who have passed
an examination and been declared capa-
BILE of filling the places under his con-
troll. He says also that the council should
not dictate what one of his employees
should be made first assistant so long
as the salaries of all are the same. The
trouble is over August Siegman who
has been employed in the Office for
some time and has given such com
plete satisfaction. Mr.. 0rff realizes the
value of such man and desires to keep
him. but the councilmen, although no
objection except his politics can be
urged against him, are strong in their
opposition to Mr.. Siegman. 1t was ru-
nlored about yesterday that the office
of building Inspector would be made
vacant by Mr.. Orff's resignation unless
his suggestions regarding the Office
were adopted. Mr.. Orff refused to talk
when questioned concerning the matter,
but it is known that he has considered
the matter Of resigning.

PEOPLES THEATER,

"The Drunkard." undoubtedly the
best of all the temperance dramas that
was ever written, although 1T was pro-
duced as long ago as 1s49, will be pre-
sented at the Peoples tonight. No
other has come forward to take its place.
After it had finished the run in Boston,
at that time the longest ever known, 14O
nights, it was produced at Barnum's
museum, New York, where it ran an
entire season with James Harrison, the
stage manager at the Peoples, in the
leading roie-a part he will play tonight.
The late John B. Cough pronounced it
the greatest drama ever seen Oh the
stage, and that it did more good for the
cause OF temperance than all the SER
mons ever preached. 1t will be played
tonight only.
Hereafter the first productions of
plays at the Peoples will be given on
Monday night instead of Sunday, as has
been the custom. Tomorrow night
the realistic and picturesque meI0-
drama ''Jibbenainosay; or Nick of the
Woods" will be presented. 1t is a
strong story, well told, of times in the
West just after the Revolution. 1t was
first produced in 1913 at the Boston nu-
scum by Joseph Proctor. and he played
it almost continuously until he retired,
two years ago. The late Charles r..
Thorne also made success of the role.
1t will be played at the Peoples by j..

The coming social events are the re-
ception at Fair Oaks and the Knights of
Pythias banquet at the Nicollet. So
ciety people have settled down to a
steady round of gayety for the few
weeks which are left before Lent comes
with its grim observances and lack of
social entertainment. The damp and
rainy weather may also have helped to
make society more active. The co trast
between damp, rainy streets and bril-
lantly lighted parlors and pretty cos
tunes is always tempting one, and
ladies are not slow to amuse themselves

took holiday this summer. The bonds of
business are apt to be loosed little when
money is not tight, and the era of prosperity
we are now enjoying set in before the sum-
mer holidays. Hence the exceedingly large
crop of fall marriages.
The statistic mopgers having proclaimed
that October is wonderful month for mat
rimony, will some of them figure out which
month bears off the honors of divorce? 1t
would be interesting to know at what time
in the year men and women find the bur
dens of matrimony most grievous, its yoke
most CALLING. Can it be that winters icy
breath nips the conjugal affections, or is it
summers parching heat that dries up the
lawful rivulets of love? Perhaps the sexes
have each their favorite time for sundering
the ties of Hymen. Women, maybe, leave off
loving when they shed their sealsklns, or
again divorce to them seems dear when the
leaves begin to fall Men we may be sure
allow the weather and the temperature to
bend their desires in this as in other direc-
tions. If they have a favorite month for
divorce-as they have for shooting ducks or
whipping the brooks for the speckIed trout
will not some kind statistlcian inform us?
Armed with this new knowledge the re-
formers who benevolently plan to diminish
the grist of the divorce mills may take heart
of grace and procure some remedy for the
national disease.

THE PARK DONATION.

The cable dispatch from London stating
that Mrs. Schenley has given 800 acres of
land for a park to Pittsburg, may be taken
to announce the definite conclusion of the
negotiations, the favorable progress of which
has heretofore been stated from time to time
We conclude from this that it is definitely
settled that the stretch of land lying to the
south of Forbes avenue is secured to the
city, in perpetuity for park purposes.
This fortunate and generous donation
raises Pittsburg from its hitherto unpleas-
ant position of city of great wealth, but
discreditable poverty in open spaces, to that
of possessing site for a park which pre-
sents peculiar attractions of natural beauty
and varied scenery. The property donated
comprises the wide variety between wide
spaces of level ground to the boldest con-
trasts Of hill and dale. It can be improved
as a park at comparatively slight expense;
and every year after its opening the expend-
iture can be made to add to its beauties.
The donation is muni6cent one, and its
benefit to the public will give the name of
the donor claim upon the gratitude of
Pittsburg so long as the attractions of the
park shall afford the tired city workers a
grateful change from the heat and hustle of
the city.

PITTsBURG. SUNDAY. NOV. 8 1859.
THE PROSPECTS FOR TUESDAY.

For all practical purposes the political
campaign in the different States which hold
elections on Tuesday may be regarded as
having closed last night. Public interest
ceuters in Ohio and Virginia. Where the
claims are so violently confident there must
be an element of guesswork in predictions;
but the signs rather point to Foraker's re-
election in Ohio, while in Virginia they look
adverse to Malone and the Republicans.
In Pennsylvania, the choice of Boyer, Re
publican, for State Treasurer, is reasonably
assured. The Republican estimate of 30, 900
to 4O, 900 majority will not prove very far, if
at all, astray.
In the District Attorneyship contest in
Allegheny county the indications during
the week just closed only tend to coafrm
the opinion already expressed in these
columns, that Johnston, the Democratic
nominee, will be elected by a pronounced
majority. On behalf of .Rowand special
effort has been made to draw support from
the ranks of organized labor. But there is
no reason to think it will succeed. The
force of the considerations which operate
against Rowand's candidacy, and with
which the public is fully familiar, should
be felt by the workingmen as clearly and as
strongly as in any other quarter. If the
Democrats poll their full or average vote
for Johnston. his election will be assured.
But little interest attaches to the canvass
for the remainder of the local ticket Re-
publican success being assumed almost as
q matter OF course.

HoHoRIEG THE PROFESSION.

The lawyers of Allegheny county-what-
ever part they may bear of the stock critic
ism which it is the fashion of laymen to visit
on lawyers in general-have, as body, al
WAYS shown an honorable pride in their pro-
fession and deep interest in its local tradi-
tions. There was a happy illustration of
this sentimental side of the lawyer, both on
the part of donor and recipients, in the pro-
ceedings of the Bar Association yesterday,
formally accepting the inaugural offerings
by Fred M. Magee, ESQ, for the associa-
tons proposed new portrait gallery. AS
one of the leading functions of the associa-
tion is to foster high standards for the pro-
fession there can be no more fitting adorn-
ment of its quarters than the counterfeit
presentments, handsomely executed, of men
who. locally, by their genius and their
merits, do honor alike to bench and bar.
The influence of example, powerful in all
professions, is especially so in the practice
of the law. 1t is well, therefore, that the
recollections of the most worthily notable
judges and practitioners be preserved thus
vividly for those who are to follow. The
selection of Judges Sharswood and Stowe
and Mr.. Marshall, as the initial subjects is
in the order OF seniority, and when it is sup
plemented, as will doubtless be the case, by
portraits of the many able men, living and
dead, who have won eminence in the calling
in this county, the collection cannot fail to
be suggestive at once of helpful reminis-
cence and inspiration for the BIackstonians
of the future.
The Bar Association is to be heartily con-
graduated on the interest shown by its
members in making its influence felt in
everything that tends to illustrate or uphold
the dignity of the profession. 1t will have
frequent and important opportunities before
it for high degree of usefulness both to the
profession and to the community at large;
and from the spirit so far shown by the or
ganization it is not to be doubted that it will
meet them ftly.
