A QUEER PLEA.
A Man Tries to Prove His Own
Child Legitimate.

Child Legitimate.
The famous Knopf family row Is
likely to terminate in something serious,
all OH account of the possession of that
precious fve-year-old youngster. The
application of Laura Knopf to Dtain
possession of her child from August
Knopf, her husband, was up before
Judge Hooker yesterday morning. The
writ of Iabeas corpus by which the wife
sought to obtain possession of the little
boy has been quaShed several day ago,
and the proceeding which was UP yes
terday morning was Introductory to the
trial for divorce. In this new phase of
the case there were no witnesses pro-
duced, but the entire evidence was sub
mitted by atfidavits through Attorney r.
l.. Penney, Mrs. Knopf's attorney, and
from Thomas CAVITY, Mr.. Knopf's attor-
ney. These af1idavits revealed Pc
culiar condition Of affairs. The affida
Wits from the husband allegeehat Mrs.
Knopf is not his legitimate wife,
and that she was married to an
other man, Charles Parsons, at
the time of her marriage to him.
He also claims that she keeps bad COM
pany and has committed adultery with
various men, whose names he does lot
mention; and that, therefore. she is an
unfit woman to have the custody of
their child.
Mrs. Knopf, in her affidavit. admits
that she was married at the age of
fifteen to Charles Parsons, but says she
never lived with him more than four
weeks, because soon after marriage she
heard that Parsons had another wife
living. lie deserted her soon afterward.
Before her marriage with KNAPP, she
saws that she heard that husband No.
rad been killed in a railway accident
She claims that herself and her mother
acquainted Knopf with these facts be-
fore she married him. Mrs. Knopt fur

MERELY INTRODUCTORY.
Judge Shaw Opens Up His Side of
the Washburn Mill Suit.

the WaSlDurn Mill SUIT.
At least a part of what promises to
be a long and wearisome case is ended,
for Judge Shaw finished the ''introduc
tory" of his argument yesterday after
panY case. which involves the legality
of a certain lease made of the property
to the Washburn-CrOsby company.
Judge Shaw in his argument took the
position that Mir. Holmes, the plaintiff,
had not come before the court in the
proper attitude; that he.had not taken
all the steps before the board OF direct
Ors that were possible. and that if what
he claims is true he had a remedy
without bringing the matter into court.
He held that in case minority of
the board were endeayoring to run
things in all improper manner,
then Mr.. Holmes should apply to
the board of directors to bring the
action in the court, if the matter need
be brought into the court at all. Com
ing to speak Of that corporate seal of
the board of directors, which was
ordered placed upon the lease by the
directors at their meeting, but was re-
strained from being placed by the order
of the court, Judge Shaw said that to all
intentS and purposes of the law that seal
was now on the instrument. The only
reason why it was not placed was
a mischance. Secretary Bailey was I'M
well, the seal was locked in his desk,
and so it was that the restraining order
had found the lease incomplete i'll this
regard. But he held that it made no
difference, although this form had not
been gone through with. The directors
had ordered the seal set and that de-
cided the matter. Judge Shaw pro-
ceeded, and quoted authorities to sus-
tain his point relative TO the seal.
Judge Shaw concluded his argument.
The argument OH the other. side was
continued until Wednesday morning.

DEMAND A SHORTER DAY.

Go on Strike.


PITTsBURG, Aug. n.-Twenty-ive
hundred machinists and mechanics
struck to-day for nine hours for days
labor, with ten h urs' pay. About 1900
of the strikers are employed by the
Westinghouse Electric company and
the Westinghouse Machine company.
The remainder were employed at various
shops in Allegheny City and Pittsburg.
Several firms in both cities have acceded
to the demands, and the strike will
probably be of short duration. The
strikers held an enthusiastic meeting
this afternoon. Speeches were made,
and committees were appointed to at
tend to the details of the strike. 1t is
very likely that the employees of the
Westinghouse Air Brake company in
the Allegheny and Wilmerding shops
will strike tomorrow. The men in these
shops are prepared to come out at a
moments notice. The employees of the
Union Switch and Signal company will
also probably be called out.
