DEACON DIVORCE SUIT.
The Case Against His Wife POSTPONED
Until October.

OnIll OcCOD0r.
PARIS, Aug. S.-The case of Edward
Parker Deacon against his wife, whom
he accuses of adultery with Abeille, has
been postponed until October. The pub
lie prosecutor has refused to intervene
in the case, saying Deacon had better Law
the affair before the court himself. The
Attorney General alleges there are not
sufficient grounds to presume adultery.
The question was not submitted at the
trial of Deacon at Nice, which resulted in
a verdict of guilty against Deacon for
killing M. Abeille, whom he caught in
his wife's room at the Hotel Splendide.
at Cannes, and he was sentenced to one
years imprisonment. Deacon, it will be
recalled, declared that be would take no
action against his wife under the French
criminal law, contenting himself with
procuring divorce from her. He had
taken his children from his wife's GUS
toGy, and 1t was her attempt to regain
possession of them by legal means that
caused Deacon to change his mind
and led him to institute proceedings
against her for adultery.

SCENE OF THE CONTEST.

The stand upon which I seated
myself was substantially built, about
fourteen by thirty feet in area, and
covered overhead; this was very &C
ceptable, because it insured the
speakers, reporters and the imme-
date friends of the contestants
against the rays of the burning sun or
broken bones. Looking to my rear
1 beheld about fifty feet off cotton
factory, the fence inclosing the same
about twelve feet from the stand /;
a rope fastened to two trees as
either side of the platform in the
rear almost against the fence ex-
tended around about four feet in
front of the stage, and outside Of
this rope another rope fenced off a
space about forty by sixty feet
where seats were provided for the
ladies'. racing TO the Iront from
the platform, and casting your eyes
to the right and left, you behold an
outrageous grove of stately trees !;
and to the front a grass covered
avenue with rows of cottages on
either side, for the operatives I pre-
sumo, while a row Of stately wild
locusts line either side, suggesting
an arch in the future when years
give greater reach to their project
ing boughs. Looking up this avenue
about an eighth of a mile is seen
where the main street crosses and
this thoroughfare ends.
As I already stated, was among
the first on the ground and had
ample opportunity to take mental
notes. At $3.50 o'clock there were
some twenty-five ladies seated in the
rOped area, probably as many men
