HIS HONOR TALKS ON INTEMPERlECE

IL tne parties Wuo AoVe IN tnl
narrow sphere have counted tn,
cost and have really taken eacf
| other for better or worse, with mutual in
tent to bear and forbear, but these condi
tions, which rarely exist, must form at leas
the bylaws of the nuptial partnership. Or
the 7th inst. the temple of Janus was shut
and domestic felicity appeared to reign I'M
disturbed by even rumors Of intestine dis
cord, but yesterday tho doors were wid'
open.
The Deckroth case was again called, wher
a discussion ensued between the layers. b
C. Christy stated that Mr.. Deckroth hai
already paid costs in this case eight timel
and he thought it time the monotony wal
broken, and the Court broke it by dividing
the bill in this present encounter.
Harriet Nelson, of Allegheny City, said
that she and James Nelson had been mar.
ried since 1883, and. though several pledges
of affection followed the union, James had
in manner deserted her and had only sent
her groceries to the value Of "a 30 during
three weeks. He is q painter.
Couldn't Pay His Wife's Bills.

further than that he was unable to meet the
demands of Mrs. Nelson for the conduct and
prosecution of the war, and when she told
him to 20 he went, but had since looked in
occasionally to see how the family pro-
gressed, and had contributed all lie had left
after maintaining the vital spark in his own
physical anatomy. His surplus, he said,
amounted to SIS expended in groceries, and

coal furnished during that time. Mr..
he drank a little beer, but His Honor in
sisted in knowing how much and MI. Nell
son finally stated that the amount would
average two glasses q day. On this the
Court made calculation on the basis of 20
cents week, deciding that this stimulant
was unnecessary for youny man and 20
cents a week being $50 40 per year would
go considerable way toward oiling the
fractional parts of the domestic machinery,
directed the defendant to pay costs and ex-
horted both to try and get along peaceably.
Deserted Her Inside of Two Days.
Lorena B. Johns deposed that Solomon
Johns had married her in Brookville, JEFF
ferson county, on September 10 and left her
at her parents residence two DAYS later and
had since done nothing toward her support
nor had ever even visited her. Solomon
acknowledged the corn, but pleaded that
the exchequer had been constantly empty
since marriage and he was powerless to
offer terms, so the Court made them for
him, 81 a week, with security in $500 for
performance. The couple are quite young.
Another very youthful couple were Cas-
sic and Thomas Jones. Cassie said Thomas
left her and the baby on October 6, and
since then she had scratched for he self.
Thomas. in excuse, said he had been told by
Cassie to 60 SO frequently that he finally
took her at her word. The testimony of
the couple varied very materially on this
point, and the Court directed Thomas to
give his wife Sc week.
A man named Ahronson charged D. Rosen-
thai with surety of the peace. The trouble
arose in the Grant street synagogue and the
plaintiff averred tnat defendant had said he
would make plaintiff dead and he was afraid
of him in consequence. Mr.. Aronson said
weapon, but knew him to have Q pistol in
New York year or so ago.
Plaintiff also stated that Rosenthal had
made move as though he would hit him
in the synagogue, but failed to state what
particular portion that was of his anat-
omy.
The Court Didn't Have Jurisdiction.
The Court did not like the majority of the
Pennsylvania Senate, decided that it had
no jurisdiction, though there was an eccle-
siastical favor about the controversy, but
on the explanation of Rosenthal that
he had not said he would kill Aronson
but that a certain transaction would kill his
business, assessed the costs on the prosecu-
tor, declining to hear the witnesses and dis
allowing their fees.
Mrs Lewellyn and Mrs Rodgers are of diff
ferent nationalities and live in Homestead.
Mrs. Lewellyn stated that Mrs. Rodgers
conduct was such that she, Lewellyn, was
forced to move three or four blocks The
defendent is tenant Of her law
yer, Mr.. Cox, and the controversy
eventually grew hotter between him and D.
R. Jones, attorney for prosecutrix, than be-
tween the parties themselves. In addition
to very threatening behavior Mrs. Lewellyn
said Mrs. Rodgers encouraged the children
of the neighborhood to assemble in front of
her, Mrs. LEVEL lyn's, residence and cry
"Ratsw Prosecutrix was. ordered to pay
one-third and defendant two-thirds of the
costs and witness fees were disallowed.
William Loadman's case has become
chronic. He explained to the Court that he
had been obliged to marry Mrs. Loadman
and was willing to submit to former order
of the Court to pay her 50 so per week for
the support of the baby, but D. R. Jones,
her counsel, contended that it should be
more, as testimony showed that William
could make Sc week if he wanted it. John
Robb, ST., made a stubborn fight for Will
lam, but the Court raised Mrs. Loadman's
stipend from So so to Sc week.
