BRUTALLY KICKED.
A Divorce Suit Develops a Sad Story
of Marital Cruelty.

Before Vice Chancellor Van Fleet this
morning ex-Judge W. II. Morrow ap-
piled for alimony fees pending the suit OF
Iia Ham against her husband, Louis J.
Ham, cashier and notary public OF the
First National Bank Of Washington,
Warren county, for divorce, on the
ground Of extreme cruelty. Senator
Werts and w. H. Styker appeared for
the defendant.
The facts were shown by the affidavits
of complainant and others, including her
medical attendants The couple have
been married about six years and have
two children, girl OF four years and
babe of few months. Defendant has at
various times treated the wife with great
cruelty. In May last he went to her room
fingered by her cOuntermand1ng an
order to the servant as to the hanging of
the wash in the kitchen, and seizing the
wifa by the throat dragged her from the
room, and attempted to throw her down
seized her by the ankles and dragged her
down the stairs, threw her on the Kitchen
floor, and after kicking her went out to
NOW his lawn.
Mrs. Ham was so terribly injured that
she was unable to help herself, and lay
ON G06 uOOT uuCdTGu lOI unbll ucI ldbnCi,
who had been notified by the servant, ar
rived and conveyed her in q carriage
with her babe to his home in Belvidere,
where she still remains in a helpless
state, with her limbs paralyzed from the
brutal kicking received and which in
jured her spine Since then the
husband has not contributed any
thing for her support. He has not vis-
tied her, and has refused to let the Oldest
child, Louis, see her mother. Mrs. Ham
is attended by two physicians, who pro-
nounce her case critical. Her condition
renders the case of the family and two
nurses constantly. Defendant receives
an annual salary OF $1,000, ana receives
about $50 per month for notary's fees. He
also owns stock in the bank and consider
able property.
Vice Chancellor Van Fleet, in making
the order said:-sI am inclined to believe
that the complainant's prostration may be
largely due to the shock she experienced.
A sense of such an outrage, from the man
who mad sworn to love and protect her;
the man from whom above all others, she
had the right to look for protection, may
have Frustrated her more than the brutal
treatment she received"
The order was that alimony of $25 per
month should be paid, and that either
party could subsequently come into
court and apply for q reduction or en-
largement of the amount. 1t further
stipulated that the amount should be ex-
elusive of the demands for medical SER
wees. and that the child, Louise, should
be permitted to see her mother daily.
In fixing the amount of counsel fees
the Chancellor said:-"The usual allow
ance is $50, but this is an extraordinary
case. The poor woman cannot go to her
counsel and they have to go to her, thus
involvinga greater amount of work for
them. The amount is liked AT SiGoo. =

EQUINE GYMNAsTICS.
A Horse Turns Somersault into the
Excavation for Safe Deposit Vaults.

A Horse Turns a Somersault into the
Excavation for Safe Deposit Vaults.
There was scene of excitement this
morning about the new building of the
New Jersey Title and Guarantee Com
pany which is in the course Of erection
opposite THE JERSEY CITY NEWS office.
A cart was backed up on the
sidewalk to receive the soil which is be-
ing excavated for the safe deposit vaults
when through some cause or other the
patient animal hitched to the cart
evinced ali unwonted degree of activity,
and began to back. All the yelling OF the
persons who witnessed his awakening
and the frantic gesticulation of the Ital-
ians employed upon the building failed to
check his backwardness and horse and
cart went over the brink and fell all in a
heap into the excavation, fifteen feet be-
low. The horse turned almost complete
somersault in his fall and landed under
the cart.
1t was at first supposed that the animal
was dead, but after the cart was taken
off him he struck out with all
four feet and plowed up the soft
earth about him. He soon scrambled to
his feet apparently none the worse for
his gymnastic exercise. The cart was
lifted to the street by the Italians and an
inclined plane was showed out up which
the horse scrambled to the sidewalk.
A large crowd watched the occurrence
and wondered at the horses escape.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
A Chapter of Pleasant Personal Recol-
1ocfione


A Chapter of Pleasant Personal RecoI-
Iections.
The life of poet as of a prose author is
most often uneventful. It rarely abounds
in startling episodes or dramatic situa-
tions. The history of the triumphs of in
tellect and imagination is usually quiet,
and often monotonous. Throughout his
sixty years OF labor as q medical pro-
fessor and as an author of prose and
verse, Holmes has lived in the midst of
men, either in Cambridge or in Boston,
with busy streets and many human
beings as familiar sights. While Whit
tier has been secluded in depths of
the country, and has sung under the
quiet inspiration of the lovely pastoral
countryside of Essex, Holmes has always
chosen to dwell with the compact multi
tude in the metropolis. or brisk and
genial social temper, and with eminently
social tastes, Holmes has been in his per-
son the best known and most easily re-
all these years, and today almost as much
as ever, his small, well-Iormed figure, his
oval face with its swapping eyes, it's
fringe of gray hair, its long, round,
beardless chin, and its pleasant, smiling
mouth, have been familiar to the passers
to and fro in Boston's crooked streets.
People wonder to see the physical acti-
WHY, the spring in the step, and the
prompt, nervous gait, which tells SO
cheerful O story of preserved vitality at
the great age Of eighty.
Holmes, too, has as freely mingled with
men oD public occasions, and cheerily
and effectively taken his share in them,
as he has made himself well known
Bostonian on the streets. How many
after dinner feasts of reason and fancy
has he gracedI How many neat little
speeches in honor of this or that brother
man of letters or brother man OF medi-
cine has he made How often has
the eagerly expectant company around
the festive board seen him take
from his pocket sheet of paper, written
over with his dainty and delicate chirog-
raphy, and read therefrom. with clear
well modulated voice, some gem of his
latest fancy. some tribute to great man
dead, or some good humOred satire on
foible of the dayl Up TO within recent
period Holmes always for many years,
attended those brilliant sunepOSiu of the
Saturday Club, composed of the creme dc
lu creme of the Boston Hterdti, where the
best, the wisest, the wittiest thing was
said on every possible subject Like
Browning, Holmes has always been a
thorough man Of the world. enjoying So
eiety, liking contact with humankind,
and glad to amuse and teach young and
old. Frank Leslte's Popular Monthly.

LAW SUIT INEVITABLE.
Mr.. Edwards Advises the Abandon
ment of Germania Avenue
Improvement.

AT the meeting of the Street and
Water Board this morning, Corporation
Counsel Edwards submitted an opinion
concerning the prosecution of the pro-
posed grading Of Germania avenue, and
advised the Board to abandon the pro-
ject. Some of the property owners along
the ayeenue had signed lthe original petit
tion lcr the improvement, and others had
signed conditional one, while others stil.,
bad signed both. Some had requested
the privilege of withdrawing their names
from the first petition. Some of the sig
natures were not authentic, and the prop
erty owners interested seemed TO be in a
great state of uncertainty as to whether
they wanted the Improvement or not
The reasons assigned for and against the
Improvement were so close and compli-
Gated as to render a law suit inevitable.
The Sixth District Property Owners
Association called the attention of the
Board to the condition of Linden avenue,
in reference to deep sand and mud, which
they claim will prevent the passage of
fire engines and trucks in case of a fire
The Fourth District Property Owners
Association asked that inspectors for inn
provements be selected by petitions
signed by the property owners along the
line of proposed. improvements. Both
mittees. No remonstrance was heard
against the proposed Improvement of
Fifth street.
Bids were received for contracts for
carrying out the following improve
ments The usual lobby of contractors
was present and there was an average of
six bids for each contract.
Hancock avenue sewer (Patrick O'Neill
probably lowest); Belmont avenue, EN-
cry street, Sherman place and Grov Q
street. Patrick Condor was lowest bid
der for the Grove street improveme ent--
his bid being So 6T per square yard. Con-
tractor Harrington got the wrong bid in
the Emery street envelope. and lost his
chance for bid on that improvement.
For the contract of furnishing 10000
tons of coal for the Water Works there
there were three bidders. James Coyle
was lowest. at s. 10 per ton. Edwards &
Walkers bid was just one cent higher.
John j. Maxwel's bid was $4.79.
Preliminary estimates of the proposed
Twelfth street and Whiton street inn
provements were filed, and reports re-
ceived concerning the acquiring of lands
for main sewers in Richard street, Sip

avenue.

Commissioner Romaine began prompt
ly this morning the taking of testimony
in the Perkins-C Cleveland contest. Mr.
Record, for Mr.. Perkins, and Mr.. Nc
Masters, for Mr.. Cleveland, were the
only lawyers present. Mr.. McMasters In
terposed no dilatory tactics, but he and
Mr.. Record got along together as smooth
ly as two cooling doves.
James McGregor continued testifying
to the numerous fraudulent names on
the poll books and registry lists Of the
Second precinct of the Second district.
The testimony showed frauds as alarm
ing as any of those which were brought
to light by the Senate Committee. James
Donuelly was registered and voted from
No. 161 Provost street, and McGregor
swore that no such person had lived
there during the past ten years. Two

knew. From No. 1S9 Ninth street two
men were voted whom no one about
the premises knew James White, of No.

years ago. Nevertheless he is down as
having voted from that number. The
only trace that could be found OF Thomas
Kane, entered as voting from No. 140

fraudulent votes, which brings the total
to 1856.
