Another Liability.
The application of Eouise Weske for ali
mony, pending the trial of the divorce case
in which she is tie defendant, came up for
hearing before Judge Finn yesterday.
Adolph Weske, who is a fierce-visaged little
man, apparently old enough to be the de-
fendanps father. presented deposition
touchingly setting forth his many trials and
tribulations.
His affairs, he declares, are in sinking
condition, yet his wife exacts from him a
large monthly sum for her personal and
household expenses, well knowing that he
cannot afford to pay it. She is charged with
running up large bills for luXurieS, and is
accused OF entertaining her friends literally
with wines and liquors OF the most expen-
siye character.
Another charge is that she goes out at
night and stays away until or O'Clock in
the morning, coming home in an hilarious and
intoxicated condition, on which occasions
she squanders large sums of money. She
lives III the house given to her by him on
Steiner street, valued at SIS, 900, aud insured
Tor $1,000; but her means of support are
naught, owing to her recklesSness, extraya-
gance and dissipation.
The deponent is satisfied that the little
daughter, Rita, should continue at Miss
Lakes school, as she is apparently happy
and well contented, but he denies that she
is in delicate health. He reiterates. how
ever, that he and not his extravagant better
nall is the proper custodian of the little one.
Continuing, the deponent denies having
fabulous wealth, as charged, bat on the
contrary declares that he is financially en-
barraSsed, and to prove his assertion sets
forth list of his possessions aud an APP.
pailing list of liabilities, showing monthly,
expenses OF $3.50. total Indebtedness OF
SlVo,42o, to pay which he has only $500 on
hand, and moreover Is the defendant in an
action for ST., 500 damages.
ms pathetic memorial was apparently
without effect on the Court, as it proceeded
TO ana uid adJudge to the defendant $500 a
month alimony and $3.50 counsel fees.

COMMISSIONS.
They Are Abolished by All East
ern Roads.

Passenger Agent Goodman Of the Southern
Pacific yesterday received a circular from
the joint committee of the Trunk Line and
Central Traffic associations, containing a
decision which indicates the inclination of
Eastern roads to follow those of the West in
the matter of abolshing the payment Of
commissions in any form.
This committee met at New York on the
9th inst, representing two associations,
which control all territory east of Chicago
and st. Louis, and tyaversed by fifty-nine
roads. These roads have agreed to GiScon-
tinue the payment of all commissions,
salary, side cut, or otherwise, after Feb
ruary 1st.
Taken with the recent combination Of
Western roads for the suppression Of this
practice, there seems little hope Of the re-
Vival of a time-dishonored custom.
The compact is signed by Chairman j. F.
GODDARD, Vice-Chairinan G. X. Blanchard
and ffty-nine Eastern roads.

An action was begun yesterday by the

which will cause loss of large part of the
circulation. Alfred c. Curtin has been ap-
pointed receiver. with bonds fixed at $500.
