GLEANINGs FROM THE COUNTY COURTS

Judge Slagle made rather short work OF
the family squabbles presented for CONSIDER
alton yesterday. The husband OF Ellen
Carey, of the Fourteenth ward, was ordered
to pay her 81 so per week until furthef
order. The next case was one out OF the
usual order which has already been noted.
Mrs. E. A. Hudson testified that her hus-
band James r. Hudson, had left her couple
of years ago and had not contributed to the
support of herself and family, as she
thought he should have done. She thought
he ought to earn 500 a month, if on his
mettle. Mr.. Hudson said he had not
deserted his family, but had done all
he was able for his wife and
children. He said he had been working at
Alton and various other places in Illinois,
and had sent home all he made after his
own absolute necessities had been provided,
but that last winter he had an attack OF
"the lay-grippe," and lay in bed for con-
siderable time in consequence, and was un-
able to make his usual remittances, his IN
come during convalescence being during
some weeks not above 81 30.
Decoy kilograms Not in Favor.
He then handed the Judge telegram
sent him by one of the daughters, informing
him that his wife was dead He came home
and was arrested on his arrival, and put
into durance, as related in THE DISPATCH
at the time The Judge scrutinized the tele-
gram, and asked which of the daughters
present had sent it, and the girl showed
up. The Court then remarked something to
the effect that Mrs. Hudson had forfeited
lo- L., 1,orl H. 11ri1 = OF
and proceeded to assess her with the costs,
and dismissed the prisoner. Mrs. Hudson
departed for the Office to ''pay the freight.
Sarah Noonan showed up, but her hus-
band, Michael, didn't, and his recognizance
was forfeited. -,
Annie Wunderlich stated that her hus-
band, who is cigarmaker, refused to sup
port her or take her away from her mother,
and that she was obliged to stay under the
parental roof Mr.. Wunderlich was asked
to state his side of the story, and said that
the reason he did not support Annie was
that he had discovered she had been married
still in the flesh. Further, that she had
boasted that ''the Dutchman would be
obliged to support her anyhow. The
Court informed Mr.. Wunderlich that he
had his remedy at law, and that if Mrs.
Wunderlich was supporting two husbands
he could get divorce, but this question
could not be inquired into in the Quarter
Sessions, so ad interim he must put up 50 a
week for Annie and give $500 bail to insure
performance

Lewis, were again called up for sentence
,on charge of receiving stolen goods.

nominal fine and undergo an
imprisonment of year in Jail, when she
burst into torrent of grief, and her sobs
were heard above the roar of traffic on Ross
street. She said: go, can't you make it the
workhouse? don't want to go to that hor
rid jail" The sentence was changed to
meet her desire. -
