A HUSBANDS TESTIMONY
Held to Be Improper When 1t Ref ects
Upon His Wife.

Held to Be Improper When 1t Ref ects
Upon His Wife.
The opinion handed down bv the Supreme
Court in the case of ID. n. Cornelius against
j. T. Houfroy for damages for the aliena-
tion of a wite's affection was received at the
Office OF the Supreme Court prothonotary
yesterday. The case was tried in the lower
court before Judge Howe and verdict of
$1,000 for the plaintiff given. 1t was after
ward reduced by the court to $500, but
Houfroy appealed. During the trial, which
was sensational one, scene was created
by Cornelius assaulting Houfroy in the
courtroom.
The Supreme Court reverses the lower
court and orders a new trial in the case.
The ground for this was the admission of
the husbands testimony, which tended to
incriminate his wife. She, it is asserted,
was not a defendant, but his testimony
tended TO incriminate her, and he was an
incompetent witness The principle of the
rule which excludes husband and wife
from testitying against each other requires
its application to all cases in which the
interests OF the other PARTY are involved.
They are only allowed to so testify in cases
OF personal injuries inflicted by the one
upon the other ana in certain cases in
divorce.

WANT A NEW TRUSTEE
For q Rraddoca Church That Is Now
aMass CT Tottering Ruins.
A PATHETIC SCENE IN COURT.
Judge Magee Heeds Widows Tearfnl Plea
fey Clemency.
TROUBLE IN A LAUNDRY COMPANY

Creditors OF the All Souls Church at
Braddoc1 vii ask Common Pleas Court No.
. to appoint rev trustee, in the absence
c. lie trustee ard pastor, Rev. Ingram n.
W. Irvine, tcr the sale and disposition OF
the church property.
Back of this is a tale of more or less in
terest Attorney Z. j. Small, representing
some Of the creditors of the church, gave
the following version Of the case to a DIS
PATCH man yesterday:
During the year 1850, began Mr.. Small,
"Eev. Irvine began circulating among the
EpiscopAlians OF Braadock with the view
of obtaining funds for building church or
chapel. He succeeded in raising consid-
cradle amount end proceeded to erect
chapel in one of the prettiest parts of the
village. 1t has since transpired that he had
not sufficient money to pay all of his bills
bv any manner of means suppose Re had
not obtained enough money but at auy ra,e
he was forced to raise $4,000 and did SO By
mortcasing the church and ground for that
amount and giving his personal bond that
the money would be expended in liquidat-
ing the debts Of builders and those who
finished the bailding as we'll as the drafts
of the furniture people. The money was
furnished by the Dollar Savings Bank of
Pittsburg and the transaction was made
through Court of Common Pleas No. 2.
"After that various rumors began to cir
culate The minister had most bitter ene-
mics and very warm friends. The latter said
the borrowed money had all been expended
in paying off the debts, and that it did not
go far enough to free the church His enc
mics averred that he had expended the
money in some way he did not care to make
known. However that NAV be l cannot say.
l only know there was debt of some Sc, 600
left, and it is that debt to liquidate which
we are endeavoring to get a new trustee
that the property may be realized.
.'The year following the erection of the
church it in some inexplicable manner
caught fire and burned to the ground The
pastor collected the insurance of $4,000
and took up the mortgage for S1O 900. There
was no fire in the church at the time and
none nearby, and the fire was attributed to
stroke Of lightning.
mo attempt was made to rebuild the
chapel and it eventually became grass
grown ruin, which it still is. About
Christmas 1890, the pastor of the ruined
All Souls Church announced to his friends
that he would leave Braddock for Chesa-
peake City, Md. He did SO along about
Christmas of 1891, and has been in charge
of pastorate in that city ever since"
"Will the church property in Braddock
bring enough to liquidate the debts?"
81 do not know, but 1 sincerely hope so,"
replied the attorney.
'In case it does not, will you bring legal
action against the absent trusteee?'
Eyes, i presume we will Although 1
am not aware that he has any property to
speak of, and 1 am afraid that we would not
be able to make much out of him.

In THE CRIMINAL COURT.

Taking Up Law and Order Appeals-A Wild
ow Makes fearful Plea and Re-
ceives Clemency-TurtIe Creek Resi-
dents File Obj jections.
Judge Magee took up the argument list
in Criminal Court yesterday and disposed
of quite number OF cases. The appeals in
two of the Law and Order Society cases
took up good deal of time. One of these
was the case of James NJ Thorp, fined by
Alderman Rohe on June IA, and the other
was that of r. Brinham, who also appealed
from the decision of the same magistrate.
There was the usual tiresome rehash of the
old blue laws by Mr.. Yost, and in both cases
the appeals were dismissed and the decis-
ions of the alderman sustained.
There was a pathetic scene when the case
of Eliza McAleer, who pleaded guilty to
illegal liquor selling, was called Mrs
McAleer and her husband, Harry McAleer,
had been indicted on three charges On
June s the husband died, leaving the widow
and four children, ranging in age from to
years. Attorneys McQuaid and McGarey
appeared for the woman and asked that
sentence be suspended, but Judge Magee
promptly shook his head and said he must
impose a sentence, but, under the circum-
stances, would give her the benefit of the
minimum sentence. The woman broke
down and plead for mercy. She said her
husband had forced her to sell liquor against
her will; that she had not sold any since his
death, and that if she were sent to the
workhouse she had no friends with whom to
leave her little children. This touched the
heart Of the Court and upon Mrs. McAleer
making affidavit to her statement, sentence
was suspended on payment of costs.
The exceptions to the incorporation of
Turtle Creek borough were argued. There
are number of people who object to hav-
ing their property included in the borough.
The appeals of Dollie Miller and Nick
Smith, now doing time in the workhouse,
were dismissed. That of John McNally
was sustained and he was discharged.

SIX MILES OF ILLUMINATION.
Great Preparations for ST. Louis Autumnal
Festivities

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 1S-St Louis
will have over six miles OF magnifcently
illuminated streets during the autumnal
festivities. There will be not less than 30
arches, some of which are to be startling
in their gorgeousness. There will be over
rs, 200 electric lamps and gas jets in each
nights display.
The electric light company of ST. Louis
has not enough power to stand the strain in
addition to regular demands on them and is
putting in engines and dynamos espe-
cially for the occasion. 1t is even possible
that the city will be obliged to buiid a
plant in order to get enough power. The
Illuminating apparatus is already partly
in position and will be rapidly pushed to
completion.

PREMEDITATED MURDER
MORE PARTICULARS OF THE
MEMPHIS TRAGEDY.

Miss Mitchell Was Overheard On
the street Threatening to Cut
Miss Wards ThrOat-A writ of
Habeas Corpus Will he Asked
For.
MEMPHIS, Ian. 29.-It has developed
that the murder OF Freda Ward on Mon
day was premeditated by Miss Alice
Mitchell at least twenty-tour hours be-
fore the deed was done, and probably
longer. The murderess rode by the
house where the Ward girls were visit
ing several times a day during their stay.
On Sunday night she was heard to
make direct threats against her victim.
At 7:30 o'clock on that evening two
colored girls, Sarah Hulsey and Clara
Miller, saw Miss Mitchell talking to a
man they did not recognize at the cor
ner of Fourth and Madison streets. AS
they approached they heard Miss Mitch
ell say
81 am going to cut Freda's throat
from ear to ear. am going to kill
her..
Miss Alice, let me beg of you not to
talk like that. You wouldn't do any
thing like that" said the man.
81 tell you I'm going to kill her. Pm
going to cut her thoart," retorted Miss
Mitchell.
The two girls passed on and thought
the talk was nothing but the idle threats
of an angry woman. The next morning
they told the story to their employer,
Mrs J. II. McEnroe, and also to Mrs.
Levisa Watson. This evening Mrs. Nc
Enroe told the story, which was corrob-
GRATED by both girls.
The remains OF Freda Ward were bur
led today from Grace Episcopal church,
where she formerly sang IN the choir.
The church was filled, and there were
scores of floral tributes, some of them
OF great cost.
Miss Lille Johnson occupies the same
room in the Jail with the murderess.
Her counsel will get out writ of ha-
heas corpus tomorrow and try to secure
her discharge or her release on bail.

These are special cases of damage, and
there is no law governing them. The
actual injury sustained is not the guide
but the damages are awarded with q
view of punishment upon the agressor

way the parties in interest receive not
