was demonstrated at the school house last

MATRIMONIAL TROUBLES.
One Divorce Granted and Another
Desired.


A story of matrimonial disagreement
comes from the precincts OF the lodging
house at No. Ais South Spring street
kept by Mrs. Teresa Fulton. These
troubles are now to be ventilated in the
Superior Court, in which complaint has
been filed by Mrs. Fulton, who desires q
divorce from her husband, Thomas A.
Fulton. The complaint tells the story oi
a very short-lived state of married bliss.
1t appears, according to this paper, that
on November 14th last, Mrs. Theresa
and Thomas were united in matrimony,
and now the former alleges that her hus-
band commenced to treat her in cruel
manner. 1t appears that the cause OF
the trouble was money, for the next
clause of the complaint sets forth that
during the last week of November, at
4l8 South Spring street, her husband
asked her for money, she being the
keeper of the lodging house. She told
her husband that she had none, and he
retorted by addressing her in dis
agreeable terms. When she remon-
strated with him she alleges that he
struck her and knocked her down, and
while down kicked her severely with his
boot heel, in6icting bruises which were
visible for three weeks. When spoken
to on the subject by a neighbor, Mrs.
Mary E. Davis, he is credited with say
ing he guessed it didn't hurt her much" "
The complaint further sets forth that
he scolded her in November in
the presence of Mrs. Laura Harris, and
that in January of this year, in the pres
ence of Almer Schnell, he said to her,
"Get away, l am getting so can hardly
bear the sight of you." Mrs. Fulton
seeks to bring to an end her short and
unhappy married life.
R. Oarrasco was yesterday granted a
divorce from Maria Carrasco, on the
ground of deEertion. He alleged in his
complaint that he was married at Pit.
quito, Sonora, in 1875, and then he came
to Los Angeles. His wife lived with him
until 1881, when she deserted him and
went back to Sonora, and has refused to
live with him ever since. Judge Wade
thought these were sufficient grounds tc
warrant him in granting the divorce.

THE CHARTER QUESTION.
That There will h
No Contest.


No Contest.
The principal topic of conversation on
the streets yesterday was as to whether
or not there would be contest over the
late election. 1t was the general inn
preston, however, that there would he
no contest, and that when the time
comes the present officers will step down
and the newly.elected officers will be
seated. A number of lawyers were in
terviewed yesterday, and they stated,
generally, that in their opinion the new
Charter became a law when it was
passed by the Legislature. The manner
in which it passed seemed to them, from
the reading of the constitutional amend
ment to have been legal, and
in consequence the election held under
it's provisions was legal. On the other
hand, those who had some doubt on the
subject thought that some steps should
be taken to have the matter settled
definitely by the Supreme Court. 1t
was reported that letter had been re-
ceived from Hon. S. M. White, giving it
as his opinion that the Charter had been
passed in the correct manner, and that
the election had been legally held.
The report reached the HERALD in @
manner which does not speak very well
for its truth, that Hon. Henry Hazard in
conversation yesterday in an office,
had admitted that if the present office
holders chose to contest, they had the
best of the argument, and they could
hold their seats. This conversation was
reported to have been overheard, and il
is more than likely that Mr.. Hazard
said nothing of the kind. The matter
may come up for discussion before the
Council tomorrow, but in what shape, it
is hard to tell. The members of the
present Board of Education announce
that they will not contest, and the list OF
those who desire to hold on is not very
large,

THE CUDDY CAS- E.
A Petition for a HlOdific alton of the
Judgment.


A motion was filed in the United
States District Court yesterday by
Messrs. Mitchell & Knott and Thomas
B. Brown which, if granted, will result
in either lessening the punishment OF 7.
j. Cuddy for contempt of court, or in the
setting aside of the proceedings and SEN
tence of a fortnight ago. The attorneys
in the case move to set aside or modify
the judgment entered on February 18th,
on the following grounds: That the
Court erred in issuing the citation, the
alleged contempt having been COM
mitted out of the presence of the court.
That the Court erred in allowing the
cross. examination by the United States
attorney of the respondent, T. j. Cuddy.
That the offence charged being crime
against the United States, the court
erred in holding respondent for con-
tempt, the offence being an indictable
offence under the laws of the United
States and the court being one OF inferior
jurisdiction.
This notice was an amendment of one
filed on the previous evening, which,
upon examination, was found to be
slightly defective. No action was taken
on the matter yesterday, but it is prob
able that it will come up in court to.mor-
row morning. United States District
Attorney Denis was actively engaged
yesterday in looking up the law on the
case,

A Post of Entry.

In an article on the matter of making
a port of entry Of Los Angeles in yester-
days HERALD, the statement was made
that 'nothing had been done" in such
connection that it seemed to refer to the
Chamber of Commerce. In his recent
annual report, Major Jones recounted the
exertions of the Chamber in this direc-
ton, and expressed the belief that in
time good results would follow, although
as yet no action had been taken in Con-
gress. A petition vas drawn up in regu-
lar form some months ago and forwarded
to Washington, asking that bill be
framed for the bringing about of the de-
sired end. The petition evidently went
into some pigeon-hole in Representative
Vandever's desk and was forgotten.
The plan of importing for the west
coast from Europe by way of New Or
leans, making Los Angeles distributing
point, is not new one, and the need of
making this city port of entry has been
warmly urged before. If the matter
should be pushed upon the attention of
Congress at the next session, it is not
unlikely that it will be made to go
through.

A gentleman named Thayer was driv'

Southern Pacific train pulled in to that
place yesterday morning. He saw the
cars bearing down upon him and raised
his horse up 30 as to let the train go by
but the animal got scared and restive
and began plunging and backing at the
supreme moment. Mr.. Thayer realized
his danger and jumped from the vehicle
not moment too soon, for as he did SC
the horse dashed across the rails and the
engine struck the buggy square in the
middle and cut it in twain. The
frightened horse scampered away unhurt
with the fore end of the vehicle, and Mr.
Thayer sat down and congratulated him
self on the lucky escape he had.

An Inj JUNCTION Likely to be Served
On the Contractor.
A rumor is afoat that an injunction is
about to be served on Contractor D. F.
Donegan to stop the grading of First
street, between Hill and Grand avenue.
1t will be remembered that number OF
the property-owners desired to have a
tunnel constructed under the hill, instead
of the cut which has been arranged for
by the contract. The project for tunnel
ing did not meet with the ap-
probation of the majority of property
owners, and the original plan
was adhered to and the contract let to the
lowest bidder. Since then the Council
has ordered the bell tower removed to
another location, but nothing has been
done with this as yet. Contractor Dom
negan has commenced work and is ready
to push it actively ahead if the bell
tower is taken out of his way. He has
learned that those who wanted the tun-
mel intend to enjoin him from going on
with the work, and on Monday he will
ask the Council to protect him from in
Jury in the matter.

= HOW FAKIRS ADVERTISE
ON the Los Angeles Alleged Busted
Room.

ON the Los Angeles Alleged Busted
Boom.
Some one who passed through Arizona
the other day observed fakir with a
small stock of jewelry, mostly of the
pinchbeck grade, which he was offering
for sale. He had his place all placarded
with announcements of the ruinously
low prices at which he was offering the
goods. He was not selling them, but
giving them away. But the funniest
part Of the story was that the fskir al
legged that he came from Los Angeles,
where the "busted boom and dull times"
had driven him out of business,
and he had brought these choice
jewels and priceless stones to the "sun-
kissed" land to dispose of them at same.
Of course the diamonds are of the right
Arizona kind, and the gold in the setting
is of the variety that only fools will wear.
But the fake is said to work, and the
cowboys of the "sun-kissed" are reported
as bedizening their sweethearts with
these tawdry trappings at great rate.

Henry Weber and Philip Weber, claimed
that Mrs. Louise Masser, to whom the
property of deceased had been given by
will, had used undue influence to have
the will made. They introduced consid-
erable testimony and closed their case.
Counsel for Mrs. Wasser moved for a
non-suit on the ground that no evidence
had been given which would warrant a
defense. Judge Clark granted the mo-
ton and discharged the jury.
