stated on the authority of Mr.. J. 7.
Steward that the sample of water con-
tanning leech. couple of snails, etc. was
drawn from the hydrant in front of Mr..
Stewards house. This was an i'm
possibility, but it was never contradlcted
by Mr.. Steward. A reliable man states
to me that he was informed the water
was taken from pool adjacent to the
open zanja of the city.
The meter which equitably and
exactly measures what water each
should pay for is one of the especial
causes Of complaint of Mr.. Steward and
his associates. The Steward lawn of
blue grass contains 1896 square yards,
while the average lawn is not more than
one hundred square yards. He uses
more than 1,760 gallons each day, and
he is charged only three-fifths of the
rate fixed by the city ordinance. 1t is a
popular idea with some of the water
consumers that if the city can be sad
died with the supplying of domestic
water the rates can be greatly reduced,
and the deficiency be made up by gen.
eral taxation as is now the case with the
zanja system of irrigation water oper-
ated by the city.
The fact that l and my family drink
the water in dispute, if nothing else,
should decide in my favor the question
of veracity between J. T. Steward and
myself. Yours truly,
M. l.. WICKs.

IN THE COURTS.
TWO DIVORCE CASES CONCERNING
PROMINENT PEOPLE.
Several Suits of Interest-An Attempt to
Recover a Street Assessment-In JUS
tices' Court.

In department three of the superior
court yesterday judgment was rendered
by Judge Wade in the divorce case of
S. II. Mott against E. Alice Mott, which
has been pending since 1880, by stipu-
lation in favor of the defendant. a con-
tract was filed for record subsequently
which settles all the property question
and settles upon the defendant certain
moneys for her future support. BY its
terms S. Fl. Mott agrees to pay his
former wife SAC, ,000-$5000 in cash and
$4,000 every six months until the entire
amount is paid.
The divorce case of Sarah w. Duque
against Jose Gabriel Duque, on the
ground of extreme cruelty, was resumed
yesterday morning before Judge Van
Dyke, and submitted on briefs. The lit
igants were married in 1868, but they
have not lived together for thirteen
years, Duque being a resident OF Pana-
ma, where he conducts banking estab-
lishment. He admits being in receipt
of an income of $4,000 per month. Both
are willing that divorce should be de-
creed but they cannot agree as to the
division of the property.
In department three of the superior
court yesterday morning, the suit OF d..
r. Brearley against Julian A. @. Martin
ez and others to recover $3.50 for a
street assessment, assigned to plaintiff
by Backman d Chase, contractors, was
tried before Judge Wade, who found for
the defendant with costs. Several other
cases are pending of similar nature, in
the different departments of the super
ior court. Two other suits in which
Brearley is the plaintiff, and IN which
he seeks to recover assigned claims for
street assessments, will be tried before
Judge Van Dyke today.
On motion OF the district attorney
Justice P. E. King, sitting for Justice
Lockwood, yesterday dismissed the case
against o. w. Baldwin, who was
charged with burglarizing one OF his own
houses, by tenant who was in arrears,
there being no evidence to sustain the
charge.
The case against Mrs. A. M. Eubanks,
who was charged with malicious mis-
chief, in that she forcibly entered a
room for which she was in arrears with
the rent, in the house of ex-Police Off
Ger Alfred Dillon on Broadway, was yes
terday dismissed by Justice p. E. King,
sitting for Justice Lockwood, the evil
dence being deemed insufficient to sus-
tain the charge. Mrs. Eubanks subse-
quently climbed into her room through
a window, and rendered the money
which she owed to her landlord. who
accepted it and agreed to let "bygones
be bygones."

BERTHA WAS FALSE.
Failing True Lover Knot, Lang Tries
Hanpman'

Because of some girl who would not
love him, Joseph j. Lang, tailor, who
lives at 206 West Fifth street, tried to
hang himself early yesterday morning.
He had a narrow escape and said to a
reporter that he would not try the
operation over again ''for all the women
in the world.' He would not tell any,
thing about the girl who had blighted
his life anymore than to admit that
her name was Bertha.
Charles Seglo cut Mr.. Lang down. He
came home late on Tuesday evening and
went to his room; he went out again
later, but soon returned. Seglio, who
roomed next to him, heard something
rattling in Lang's room, and entering
found the tailor hanging behind the
door. Mr.. Seglio said: 81 thought at
first that he was a goner. There was a
large welt around his neck, as large as
my wrist, and it was with great difficulty
that we got the rope loose. On a stand
in the room was an open knife and a
razor. 1t is my belief that when he
went out about midnight, he went for
some poison, but was unable to get it,
and finally made up his mind to COM
nit suicide by hanging. Yes, he has
of late threatened to take his life, but
we paid no attention to it. l think the
man is crazy"

TURN ABOUT.
A Chinaman Causes the Arrest of Two
Policemen.

The police commissioners and Acting
Chief w. c. Roberts were very much
worked up yesterday on learning that
police officers E. j. Dunn and G. L.
Johnson had been arrested on COM
plaintj of Chinaman, on a warrant
issued by Justice Frank Raymund of
Norwalk, who is said to be studying
law in the Office of Wells, Guthrie and
Lee Of this city.
They are charged with malicious mis-
chief by Wong Ark, the Chinaman who
ran number of tan games in China
town last year. They were admitted to
bail here by giving bail in the sum of
$25 each. Police Sergeant Jeffries and
Public Administrator d. w. Field be-
came bondsmen for the two defendants.
1t is said that the arrest is the result
of a raid made by the two officers upon
one OF the fan tan rooms OF the COM
planning witness, during which they
battered down door.
The willy heather who swore to the
complaint, knew that the chances of his
being able to obtain one in this city
upon such fimsy charge were very
slim, and went out to Norwalk in order
to get i'll his work.
