afterward, but ne began to neglect her, and
she investigated and found that he was

he Makes a Sweeping Denial of His
Nife'S Charges for Divorce.
MRS. CROSSLEY'S CASE DISMISSED,
a School Board Must Show Why They
Failed to Provide Teachers.
TWO WIVES BOB UP FOR ONE HUSBAND.

William W. Nisbet filed an answer yes.
terday to the petition filed by his wife, Vir.
ginia E. Nisbet, in the divorce proceedings
now pending between them. He terms her
assertions manifold untruths, uncertain
ties and imperfections," and AYERS she has
not demeaned herself as a dutiful and affec-
tionate wife, but by the indulgence of vio-
lent temper and by giving herself up to
questionable practices. has imbittered his
life. He denies the allegation that during
August, September and October OF 1883 he
forced her to leave his house by cruel treat
ment He also denies the statement that he
gave her drugs.
He alleges that she made an unlawful
request and he declined to grant it. She
then became enraged and made threats.
He told her he would not permit her to do
any violence.
When he said to her, 81 am your hus-
band, etc, 'she said: care you; I don't know
whether you are or not" =" She also made use of
the expression: 81 am now on the verge of
plunging myself into the gilded life of
infamy anyway" Fearing she would do
herself some injury, the respondent alleges
he went to her physician and warned him
that he would prosecute anyone who would
assist her in her designs.
He AYERS he did all in his power to make
her comfortable and happy until he became
confident of her in1delity, Notwithstanding
she had on occasions threatened, in foul
and profane language to take his life, and
in the presence of visitors at home cursed
and swore because he refused, in the middle
of the night, to get her beer, Her temper,
he alleges, was so violent that she tore
screen from a window and threatened to
jump out.
The respondent pleads this answer as a
bar to her suit, and asks that it be dis
missed.

A CRUSADE AGAINST CARS,
Rev. Father Wnlworth Thinks They Would
Make Too Much Noise

SARATOGA, N. Y, September 14-The
Rev. Father Walworth of st. Mary's Cath
olic Church, Albany, last Sunday INDUCED
in bitter denunciation of that spirit of
mammon which would desecrate the church
and interrupt the solemnity of its serv-
ice by bringing the noise of the COM
merce of the world so near as to be heard by
the worshipers at its altars. He especially
exhorted his congregation to protect the
church from the hideous electric poles. The
dull rumbling of the cars" he said, would
greatly disturb the services on Sundays and
week days alike. Once let the electric rail-
way be introduced into the city and every
church will be liable to be disturbed BY
such a nuisance"
He used the texts, "Ye cannot serve God
and mammon, "Thou shalt not follow a
multitude to do evil" He demanded
"the defense of the church and its altars
against such an invasion of ner sanctities as
is involved in the proposed running of
street railways in front of her DOORS"

for n Pence Policy.
INDIANAPOLIS, September IA. - The
negro Baptists resumed the discussion of
the outrages again to-day. Rev. T. L. Jor-
dan, of Mississippi, made a speech depre-
eating the remarks advocating violence in
return for Southern wrongs, as it places a
mass Of helpless colored people at the
mercies of the criminal classes of the South.
Others of the Mississippi delegation talked
in the same vein, AMI resolutions were final
ly introduced and adopted to the effect that
the ''Colored people cultivate friendly re-
lation with those among whom they live. %
President Love became very wroth at the
passage of the resolutions and made a
speech, retelling the story of the assault
upon himself, and said that the passage of
the resolutions would make 1t apparent that
there had not been an assault, and that they
had made false statements. This caused
much excitement and the vote was recon-
sidered and the resolution tabled. The
members of the Mississippi delegation in
sisted, however, upon their names going on
record as being opposed to violence, and
this was allowed.

THE CASE DISMISSED,
Judge White Thought Mrs. Dewey Intended
No Violence.

Judge Wh1te Thousht mrs. DeWey Intended
No Violence.
The case Of Mrs DR.. Crossley against Mrs.
DR.. Dewey for surety of the peace was
heard before Judge White yesterday. The
trouble had arisen from jealousy concerning
DR.. Dewey. Mrs. Dewey was represented
by John S. Lambie, and Mrs. Crossley by
r. H. Johnston. 1t was stated that Mrs.
Dewey had threatened to kill Mrs. Crossley,
and again had said that she would blacken
her eyes.
Mrs. Dewey related the interest displayed
between DIR. Dewey and Mrs. Crossley, and
said that on one occasion she had put her
arms around Mrs. Crossley's waist to remove
her from her husbands Office. She had been
excited when she used the language accused
of, but she would not do Mrs. Crossley the
slightest injury.
Judge White said he did not think that
Mrs. Dewey had intended any violence, and
he dismissed the case. He advised Mrs.
Dewey to conduct herself with decorum,
and then if her husband preferred the other
woman to her, she would in no way be in
volved in the responsibility.

OF INTEREST TO TAXPAYERS.
The Court Decides an Important Clause is
Unconstitutional,

A decree was rendered yesterday in the
case of the appeal of the Pittsburg, Virgil
MIA and Charleston Railroad Company
from the city assessment on property on the
Southside. The property had been assessed
to unknown owners" 1t consisted of a
large number of lots which had been sold to
the railroad company, and they appealed
from the assessment, claiming that the val
uation was excessive. An important ruling
was made by the Court in the decree rem
dered.
Ii stated that it appears to the Court that
the first provision of Section % of the act of
June IA, 1887, is unconstitutional and void,
and that the valuation placed on the prop
erty of the petitioners In this case is in ac-
cordanee Herewith and is illegal and void.
and the valuation is set aside and the prop
erty valued in accordance with the agree
ment of counsel.
The clause of the section declared by the
Court to be unconstitutional reads as follows:
when the ownership of lot is unknown
the claim shall be filed against unknown
owner and indexed accordingly"
This decision seemingly makes it obliga-
tory on the part of the city to discover who
is the owRer before they can file claim for
taxes, etc.

There is a corset that never
breaks in wear; it cannot be
broken in wear.
No; that's going a little
too far. There have to be
steels in it. Steels will break.
We don't mean the steels;
but they are not the part that
troubles corset-breakers.
What we mean is the
"bones" don't break. The
reason is they are Kabo, not
bones at all; and Kabo don't
break.
This corset that never
breaks is the Kabo, mysteri-
Gus Kabo, wonderful Kabo.
Let every corset-breaker
make the acquaintance of
Kabo.
If the corset doesn't suit
you, after wearing a week or
two or three, go back to the
store where you got it and
get your money; and, if the
Kabo breaks or kinks in a
year, go back for your
money.
There's a primer on Cor
sets for you at the store.
