He Says Mrs. Valensin is Mistaken in
Her Demands.
w. 81. Poster, against whom suit was
recently brought by Mrs. Alice NJ. Valen-
sin for the recovery of a quantity of hay
held by him, filed his answer in the Su-
perior Court yesterday.
Poster denies that he ever entered into
any partnership arrangements with Mrs.
Valensin by which she was to receive
halt Of the hay he produced. He admits
that the land on which the hay was grown
belongs to her, but AYERS that he leased it.
The terms Of that lease were that he
should cultivate the 200 acres and give
her one-third of the crop for rent. He
says she demanded one-half and he re-
fused. He is still willing to turn over the
one-third, which he claims was all that
was due on the contract.

TREICHLER DIVORCE.
The Wife Gets Alimony Pending the
Hearing of the Case.

Hearing of the Case.
The Treichler divorce case came up be-
fore Superior Judge Catlin yesterday on
the PLAINTIFFS motion for alimony, attor-
ney's fees and costs.
The aged defendant opposed the motion
strenuously through his counsel, Judge
McKune, alleging that he had nothing
but an income Of S120 a month, and that
was eaten up by taxes and household ex-
penses. The court, however ordered
him to pay 500 to Chauncey Dunn, Mrs.
Treichler's attorney: $50 court costs and
$50 alimony. Judge Mckune declared
that his client would probably have to 90
TO Jail for default. He repeated that
Treichler could not pay, but suggested
that the money might be raised if Mrs.
Ireichler would consent to mortgage
on their homestead, but this the court
would not permit.
This is the suit in which the wife
charges that her husband permitted HIM
sell to be influenced by DR.. Light to
deed his property over to the doctor.
The latter, it is said, told the old man
that the 'spirits" had ordained that the
transfer should be made, and Treichler,
who is said to have become believer in
spooks, obeyed. The divorce proceed
lngs will be heard this month.

The Columbia Life Assurance Company
Enters Upon Its Career.
Among the new local financial concerns
is the Columbia Mutual Life Assurance
Company of PROVIDENCE. This company
was recently chartered by the General
Assembly of RHODE ISLAND and is the
only home company In the state. 1t is
somewhat peculiar that before the or
ganiZation of this company there was no
home company doing business in that
line in the state, as RHODE ISLAND has
the largest assurance per capita OF any
state i'm the Union. For this reason the
Columbia Assurance Company procured
"A charter from the General Assembly, be-
ing of the opinion that the stale was en-
titled to at least one first-class company,
il only to bring back into the state the
money that is carried away by other
companies The city of PROVIDENCE is
the second in New England in popula-
tion and its financial renown is sufficient
to give the newly organized company un-
disputed prestige througnout the United
States.
The company has guar anteed capital
stock of 100000.
From iis organization the company is
made the most perfect embodiment OF the
principle of full protection, with invest
IN ent at the lowest cost. In addition to
the mode Of accepting premiums now
employed by other companies, the Install
ment payment system will be an impor-
tant factor.
Business Is done by the company with
out discrimination and a large proportion
OF the middle class" OF people will well
come the company in the field Of life as
surance.
Even the smallest life assurance COM
panies, compared with other competitors,
are great financial institutions, and this
company will be of infinite value TO every
business man in RHODE ISLAND.
