So q week, and as business has been bad with
him lately, the Judge was lenient.
Charles and Amelia Jones we're called to
the bar. Amelia said they had been mar
ried five years; that Charles works steadily,
and as steadily refuses to giveher cent, and
she is obliged to wash for living. She
said he cooked for himself and wanted to
get rid of her. Charles said he wanted to
do justice to God and man and Amelia, but
she badgered him with vexatious. suits, and
had charged him with attempting TO poison
her. He was discharged on payment of
costs.
Didn't Earn Quite Enough for Two.
William H. Anderson was let off on the
Saturday previous, as it was understood
that the parties had come to an agreement.
During the week, however, William only
got two days work, and couldn't divy with
Mary. She was smiling and sweet, but she
nevertheless wanted the S. the Court had
said she should have. Judge Stowe re-
marked that she wouldn't get along any
better if Charles were sent to Jail. and as
luck had been against him he was given
more grace. Each charges the other with
tarrying long at the wine. and the Judge
suggested that each take the pledge. They
are respectable looking couple.
Henry Renziehausen and mis- wife created
a sensation. He is member of the Alle-
gheny Fire Department, and makes $50
month. She said he had given her $40 in
August, and but So since this suit began.
They were married in 1884, and she is sec
ond wife. On cross-examination Mrs. Rem
ziehausen admitted that Henry had paid
some grocery bills. Mr.. Renziehausen ad-
dressed the court. He said he had bought
his wife an organ and paid tuition for her
two terms, but she didn't learn any music
worth talking of He said that
for -"a long time after marriage
he gave her sS65 month, but she did not
pay the family bills out OF it. He said they
split when she insisted on going to an ini-
moral Indian show: that she had gone to 16
performances and matinee, and people told
him he had better take cognizance of her
actions. Attorney Jordan asked Mrs. Rem
ziehausen some rather pert questions, and
finally Judge Stowe told Mr.. Jordan he
would hold him responsible Tor the effect OF
the Implication, and Jordan replied that he
could make his insinuation good
Caused Sensation in the Court.
Renziehausen made an earnest speech,
ana his little children overwhelmed him
with caresses. Some of the statements
caused sensation in the audience, but he
was ordered to paw Mrs. Renziehausen Sc
week and give $500 security therefor
Sadie GlnmpS r.iI oh Gaoroa II
CLONES had been married two years, but
they are evidently not mated. She said he
deserted her when her baby was born. She
also averred that he spent his money for
cigarettes and 50 shoes and fancy
apparel generally, while he had
bought her but one pair of shoes
since they were married. She charged that
he said one of the strange women described
by Solomon would keep him, and in style,
and he didn't want anything to do with
her; that he had carried the photograph of
the said strange woman in his pocket, and
showed it to her; that he would rent house
and run grocery bills so long as he could get
credit in locality and then they had to
move. In defense, George said he had paid
his way as far as he could, aud would not
have bought so many clothes had his wife
mended his old ones. Though stylishly
dressed, Georges hands indicated that be
was a toiler. He said he got furnished
rooms for her in his mothers house, but
she would not be satisfied, and once
assaulted him with dishcloth and some
wet spoons in her nand and soiled his cloth
ing. Each painted the others character a
jet black. but Mrs. Cloves got the best of il
when she put in evidence the woman's pho
tograph referred to, and George must either
provide for Sadie and the baby or stay in
the cooler.
Mrs. Herman Bergman next told her
story, which seemed at first to indicate an
excess of mother-iu-law in the family. Mrs.
Bergman created good impression until
her husband unlimbered. He then pro.
ceeded to show that he had moved three times
while in the city on account OF Mrs. Berg
mans conflicts with her lady neighbors, and
finally he took her to his mothers farm, at
Economy, and there she quarreled with her
mother-in-law. Mr.. Bergman thought NOV
ing no remedy, and as he demonstrated to
Judge Stowe that he did not force his wife
to live with his mother, as they had separate
apartments anu separate entrances thereto,
and separate tables, His Honor decided that
Mrs. Bergman was hard to please, aud dis
charged the case, but put the costs on the
husband, as be said it would not do to send
the mother and baby to Jail.
The McGinnis case was then called, aud
Mrs. McGinnis was on hand, but her hus-
band was not. She completed her version
of the case, and, in answer to Mr.. Marshall,
admitted that the grocery bill for the family
was $500 Tor something more than four
months, but, she added, there were 13 in the
family, sin addition to corners and soers."
John and Ida Civil were called, and John
responded but Ida didn't. He is charged
with surety OF the peace. Alter q few puns
on the uaue had been exchanged, Mr.
Civil's attorney said that John would like
postponement in order to get witnesses tn
suit for damages in the Fayette County
Court for the loss of leg.
Judge Stowe Severe on Juries.
Leaping to the conclusion that the suit
was against railway company, Judge
Stowe remarked that he didn't appreciate
the necessity, as jury would give damages
against railway company without evil
dence, even though the plaintiff had walked
over car and broken his leg. As to the
question of bail, his Honor thought the
as he supposed he had the case on shares. |
When told that the suit was against a coal
company, the Judge modified his opinion, |
and let Mr.. Civil off on his own recogniz- |
ance, until the second Monday of next |
month.
James and Catherine Sheridan, of Franks |
town, next told their stories, from which it |
appeared in James defense that he had |
