And Still A Mau's n Man.

Eugenia Davis. yesterday morning. IN
Justice Habich's court, filod an affidavit
against her husband, Charles A. Davis,
charming him with desertion. The wom-
ans evidence showed that it was one of
the most aggravated cases that was ever
brought into court. They were married in
1883. when she was sixteen years old and
for three years lived with her folks. Then
Davis deserted her. Last April he came
back and lived with her two weeks. She
mortgaged her piano and other furniture
and they went to Housekeeping in a block.
He refused to pay the rent, and the woman
says matters went along in this way until
he forced her TO life of shame and took
her earnings. The case was continued.

THE HIGHEST PRICES SINCE THE WAR.
Springfield, Mass, Aug. GA great boom mas
struck the market for the 1892 crop Of cigar leaf TO-
bacco in the Connecticut and IIousaonlc valleys, ic-
coriing to special reports published In The New
England Homestead today. Fully half the crop VIII
DC harvested by saturday. The yield per acre was
never better, while the quality at harvest Is almost
perfect. Tho season has been remarkably favorable
Up 10 Tuesday night Of this week probably one-ffth
Of the crop had been contracted for at prices ranging
from II to 35 cents pound, delivered in bundles I'M
assorted after curing. The lowest prices-l7 TO "a
ccntS-have been In the Housatonic Valley; but In
the Connecticut Valley % Is the lowest far
accepted while sales have been made as high as 30
cents and most of the business has been at from %
10 81 cents with active competition among the
buyers. These prices for the domestic Havana
seed leaf no sales Of Connecticut broad sedleaf hav
ing vet been made.
THE HOMESTEAD 10 day intimates that the worlds
shortage In cigar wrappers warrants the expectation
that the Connecticut and iousatonc val
valleys crop will be moved at an av-
erage Of 30 cents pound. The present prices
are the highest growers have received since the halcyon
davs OF this crop during times. and intimate
that Connecticut and IIOusatonc Valley farmers may
rrceive UPWARD OF S:}OOOOOO for this years
Lacco than on the average Of previous years, II frost
holds of and the cure Is satisfactory.
