THE MRS. DAY COMPLAINT.
The Publication of 1t Is Likely to
Cause Trouble.

The publication of the complaint in
the case of Mrs. Lizzie Day against her
husband, Capt. Dan Day, of the central
police station, is likely to cause some
body considerable trouble. The COM
plant was published by a local morning
paper, and it was stated yesterday that
if some retraction was not made suit
would be commenced against the paper
by the husband of Mrs. Getchell, whom
the complaint involves in such scan-
Galous manner. The captain boards
with Mr.. and Mrs.GetcheIl. at 401 Plym-
outh avenue. He has been with them
for the past four years. Mr.. Getchell
is very indignant that his wif9's name
should be mixed up in such a terrible
manner, for he is positive the whole
affair is nothing more nor less than a
tissue of lies. Mrs. Day, it is said, has
formulated the complaint out of spite,
and brought iuto the mess she has
stirred up the name of Mrs. Getchel to
further her own ends.
Capt Day stated yesterday that there
was not word of truth in the COM
plant save that he left home. He says
he will be able TO establish to the court
that he was justified in leaving home as
he did. for no mortal man could live in
the same house with his wife. He is
deeply grieved that the name of Mrs.
Getchell has been brought into the mat
ter, for he says she.is as innocent of any
Wrong-doing as the babe unborn.

unwifely conduct with man named
Brown, and also EgUert G. Williams.

Senator Washburn is of the opinion
that the Corser failure points moral.
He says:
"The failure of Mr.. .Corser is an object

wheat was going up, he bought 100000
bushels of wheat on tine margin

Corser these 100000 bushels of
wheat didn't own a peck. The transac-
ton. like all the margin operations, was
nothing but gamble. MI. CorSer lost.

begun yesterday before justice of the

10 the legislature for adjustment there.
The humOr Of Jimmv's contest was
not wholly understood until yesterday.
1t seems that Bidderman carried only
one precinct in the Twenty dis
trict. His contest is based OH charges
of irregularity in the registration of
voters and in voting. Well, Jimmy car
ried the one preclnctby small plural

terday it was discovered that, in the
precinct carried by Bidderman, only
one voter had been legally registered.
Jimmy's friends advise him TO quit

votes at all under the law.

BYRNEs' WATERLOO.
DR.. Spring Makes a Gain OF Eighty
Six Votes in One Precinct.

A startling change occurred yester-
day afternoon in the Byrnes-Spring
contest which nearly took the breaths
of the commissioners engaged in re-
counting the ballots. Dr.. Byrnes had
gain of thirty-two votes when the Sec
ond precinct of the Seventh ward was
reached, which placed him but eight
votes behind the total of DR.. Spring.
When the official figures from this pre-
cinct were turned in at election the fig
ures pointed in favor of Byrnes. though
it was strong Republican community
and should have returned majority
for Spring. DR.. Byrnes said yesterday
when this precinct was reached that he
had feeling he would be worsted in
the count, for it was hardly possible for
him to have secured SO many votes in
such a stronghold Of Republicans.
1t was found that there were eighty
six votes that had not been counted at
all, and every one was for DR.. Spring.
This gave h M a net gain over his orig
inal plurality of fourteen and places
DR.. B rnes that number of votes worse
off than he was when the contest began.
