was made by the Michigan Central officials
this morning TO Ship number of switch
men to Buffalo on the express which left at
I2.ij A. NJ. to take the places of strikers.
The conductor refused to take the train out
with the men on board. so they were taken
to a hotel for the rest of the night.
Any further attempt would no doubt have
resulted in strike here. The men today
crossed the river TO Windsor, and took the
Graul Trunk TO their destination.

DEACON WINS FIRST ROUND.

The French Court Decides 1t Has Juris-
diction in the Divorce Case and Orders
the Trial to Proeeed-An Adjournment
Pending an Appeal.
GRAssE, FRANCE, Oct. 1a-The Deacon
divorce trial began here to-day. The
specific object of the action to-day was to
prove criminality on the part of Mrs Dea-
con in order that the plaintiff can apply for
q divorce. Mr.. Deacon was present in the
court room, but Mrs Deacon was absent
She was represented by counsel, however,
who contended that the court was incompe-
tent to try the case. Though Mrs. Deacon
did not appear in the court room, she is in
Grasse awaiting the outcome of the case.
The court pronounced that there was
nothing in Mr.. Deacon's attitude or in his
correspondence with his wife that involved
a rennnciation of his right to proceed
against her. It was, therefore, ordered
that the trial be proceeded with after re-
cess, which was taken until 8 o'clock.
When the court again opened after the re-
cess, NJ. Barbour stated that he had
appealed against the decision of the court,
and asked that the case be adjourned until
the appeal was decided. The court granted
the request and awarded the costs to mrs.
Deacon. The appeal will be heard in AK.
"Why," said Mrs. Deacon's counsel
during his argument, .'does Mr.. Deacon,
who was convicted of killing M. Abeille,
bring this serious charge against his wife?
Because he desires to obtain her conviction in
order to secure divorce without submit
ting to full inquiry all that has occurred
since the murder. The facts elicited at the
trial proved that Deacon was insane. After
the trial Deacon became. reconciled with
his wife. How is this consistent with his
present action? Moreover, the couple
agreed by q written document to share the
custody of the children. This agreement
involves the absolute renunciation of all
subsequent legal proceedings.
M. Pilatte then proceeded to read num-
Der of letters written by Mrs. Deacon to
her husband, praying for his forgiveness for
the terrible wrong she had done him. When
NJ. Pilatte had finished, NJ. Barbour main-
tanned, in answer to the letters, that Mr.
Deacon had certainly given his wife to un-
derstand that he had abandoned his lnten-
ton to sue for divorce. NJ. Barbour added:
ct do not know what happens in America,
but in France such equivocation cannot be
tolerated" +"
