Family Disturbances Talked of in the
Quarter sessions Court Yesterday-zig-
Tag Morality and Roetry Didn't mix-A
Numerously Assorted Family's Troubles.
Though the petticoat contingent was large
in Quarter Sessions Court yesterday, 1t seems
to have been drawn mainly by sympathy, as
the family feuds were few. Before Judge
White lady named Parker stated that her
husband, who is rather fne-looking speci-
men of manhood, had failed to support her
for three years past. The defense was that
Mrs. Parker had been living rent free IN
house belonging to the defendants mother,
and that she had drawn enough money from
the Parker estate to keep her comfortably
had she expended it judiciously. The re-
spondent said the children were supported
by his mother. Mrs Parker admitted get
ting S60in two years, but said 1T was for
payment of taxes, and she got none OF it for
herself.
She seemed to gain her point more by a
charge that her husbands course on the
score of morality was a zig-zag line. Mr..
Parker was directed to pay his wife IS a
week and give $500 security to do so.
1t was limited on behalf of the defense
that Mrs. Parker was too POLITICALLY inclined
in her thoughts and actions to suit any man
who is inclined to place bread, butter,
beefsteak, potatoes and other vegetables
necessary to constitute harmonious family
before the requirements of the muses., but
this wasn't told the Court.
Mrs. NJ Remlinger, stout German lady,
had her husband arraigned. He was as frail
as she was stout, so Attorney Frank j..
Gosser's interposition to break the force OF
the attack seemed to comport with the
eternal fitness of things. There seems to be
n terrible mix in the Remlinger family.
Both were previously married and there are
three sets of children and divided by three
they would make three respectfully sized
families, each, in fact, larger than regarded
as strictly fashionable nowadays. The
husband seems to be impressed with the
German idea that q woman should be some
thing more thar mere ornament and he
laid both primary and secondary accent
and mucl TeutOnic emphasis on the postu.
late that woman who was too lazy to cook
coffee in the morning as'of but slight sub
lunar. account. He went further, and insin-
uate6 that Mrs. Remlinger was disposed to
encourage insubordination among her pre-
vious and joint product of progeny. The
Court said Mr.. Remlinger must pay So a
week to his wife, and look for relief, if it
were his right, in the divorce court.
Mrs. Alfred E. Maxwell, of McKeesport,
deposed that near 20 years of welded life
brought her but little bliss. She said that
her husband had inflicted on her almost
every kind of abuse, not only blows and
kicks, but had spit in her face on several oc-
casions She says he is puddler and makes
Se5to S3C week. Mr.. Maxwell attempted
to break the force of Mrs Maxwell's charges,
but he was sente ced to pay her S5 week
and give secu .itr in $500 for performance
Judge Magee heard the case of Edna
Kemp, who charged that her husband,
Thomas H. Kemp, had not paid her $40 a
month, according to former award of the
Court. She refuses to live with him,
alleging an insurmountable objection there
to. Attorney Langft set forth that the
reason Mrs Kemp did not get her stipend
was that she refused to receipt therefor, but
her counsel, Mr.. Marron, said she had re-
fused on his advice, and he succeeded in
bringing the Judge to look at the matter
through the same glasses. The latter raised
the mo.sthly payments 80 per cent to S15,
and directed that they be made to the
Guardians of the Poor, subject to Mrs,
Kemp's order. The parties live in the
vicinity of Ellsworth.
