Large Majority.
Laura A. Sahm filed bill for divort
yesterday, against George W. Sahm,
and prays the circuit court TO dissolve
the marriage existing between them.
She states IN the bill that they were
married October p, 1855, and that soon
thereafter her husband began a course
of cruelty that gradually grew worse
until she was afraid Of her life, and
was obliged 10 leave him on December
%, 1889.
George professed TO be very jealous
of the complainant, and was,cOnstantiv
accusing her of infidelity, although he
would mention no names IN connection
with her own. He constantly carried
about IN his pocket a bottle Of croton
oil, which Is the most powerful cathar-
tic known, and was continually threat
ening 10 physic himself 10 death or give
her dose. One day he struck at her
with all his might, with his iist, bat she
succeeded III dodglng the blow, and he
lammed has fist clear through the plas-
tering on the side Of the room. This

very much, and the next time be un-
dertook TO chastise her be took ham
mer. She being in fear Of her life, ran
10 the neighbors for protection. She
dares not return 10 her husband, and

The fSwaship Board S&Ae street RAILWAY
Franchise
on Monday afternoon the Township
Board Of Grand RAPIDS township held
another SESSION 10 consider the petitions
OF tne street Railway Company, asking
for = franchise in Iake-ave., Wealthy
ave, Tbomas-st. and D0A,ee-st., which
was submitted 10 them Friday after
noon. Messrs. BeYieE and Perry. OF
the railway company, aud l. N. Turner
and McGeOTge BuBdy We're present
from the eIty, While a large delegation
OF citizens Of the township were also
present. Supervisor Hayens presided.
Justice Nandenberg WAS again absent.
bat in ms absence the ordinances We're
taken up and rea / section by section.
IL was evident from the Iirst that GER
tain sections Of the GOcumeux were not
satisfactory TO some OF those present,
bur they were all passed, except sec
ton of the Cherry-st. ordinance,
which provided that If the right OF way
could not be obtained from the Gravel
Road Company the Street Railway may
have the right 10 construct It's line out
side OF the gravel portion or the road.
This was objected 10 by +. A. Ford,
resident OF the township, who dad not
wish 10 give the company the privilege
OF constructing us line near the side of
the street The prevailing sentiment IN
regard 10 the gravel road IS that II Is an
imposition for any corbOration 20 col
lect toll for driving over road that Is
in such poor condition. Many OF them
are IN favor of beginning proceedings
against the Gravel Road Company To
take away their charter and give the
Street Railway Company right IN the
street. Every one is IN favor OF tue
line, but they do not wish the track put
TOO near the sidewalk. After a long
| discussion, the ordinance was changed
so that the line may be built with its
tracks not less than twelve feet from
| the center of the gravel road. il the
| right OF way can not be obtained from
the Gravel Road Company. This re-
| ferred to Lake-ave., not 10 Cherry-st.
| Mr.. Turner objected To the passage of
| the ordinance as thus changed. He
could not see any justice in putting the
| line in the center of the street in
Cherry-st and at the side of Lake-ave.
| He wanted the ordinance passed as first
| presented. After ne had laid the mat
| ter before the board the ordinance was
after further discussion passed rs
amended.
The time for completing the lines on
WeaIthy-ave. and Cherry street was
changed from May, 1892, to July, 1891
which was satisfactory to all parties
concerned. This was III answer to a pc
tition from twenty-five property owner:
on Wealthy-ave. asking that the time
be made November, 1920. The railway
company could not comply with such
an ordinance, so compromise on july
1891, Was settled on.
This gives the company the right tc
build lines in accordance with its plans
outlined in the TELEGRAM-HERAL
some time ago. That is, to extend the
Wealthy-ave. line to a point where i
crosses Lake-ave.; also to extend tn,
Cherry-st. line on Cherry-st. and Lake
ave. At this junction the compan,
proposes to build power house anC
