NINE DIVORCE SUITS
Brought for Many and Various
Causes Filed Yesterday, and a
FEW DESERTION CASES HEARD.
Judge Whites Clear Ruling in the Collins
libel Action.
BUSINESS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

1t seemed as though the desertion court
end of the temple of Janus was closed yes
terday, County Detective Beltzhoover not
having made out list of matrimonial
.jangles, but the door was sufficiently ajar to
let in two or three cases.
Margaret Jack, of McKeesport,
wanted her husband, James Jack,
made contribute to the domestic
expense account. James came out
strong. He averred that Margaret, though
rather delicate looking woman, looked
upon the wine when it gave its color in the
cup, and looked upon it to such an extent
that her seven children suffered to an extent
that induced the "human" agent to inter-
fere. They are people of some considerable
substance, owning several houses, and Mr.
Jacks income from his work at the
National Rolling Mill amounts to
Isl, ,404 a year independent of his rent roll.
Mr.. Jack stated that five of the children
were at the Home of the Friendless in Allie
gheny, and that he paid $25 month for
their support. One had preferred to live
with her grandparents and was provided
for there, and the seventh had Den assigned
under the management of the "Human"
society.
The Other Side of the Case.
The "human" agent supported Mr.. jacks
story and then Mrs Jack told hers. She at
first denied that she was excessively ad-
'dicted to the cup, but finally turned the
tables on the "Adamitic'' excuse for the
lords of creation, stating that if she did
drink to excess her husband caused her fall
by bringing liquor into the house and lead
ing her into temptation. She said she had
their property. She admitted that her
husband allowed her one of the houses and
that she lived in it and rented part thereof.
Judge Kennedy thought as the wife had
support for herself and was not obliged to
care for her children that she had better go
to work and retrieve her reputation as to
the charges preferred against her. He put
the costs on the husband. but told Mrs. Jack
that as it had been necessary to bring her in
Oh process, she must find the way to pay
the costs thereof herself or take the conse-
quence.
John Lane said that Philip Denmeyer
had threatened to kill him on January II,
and had fred revolver. Philip denied it.
but witness for the prosecution said he
had heard Philip threaten to do the prose-
cutor up, and as to shooting, he was all the
time at it. Judge Porter sentenced Philip
keep the peace in future.
