FLED WITH A NAMESAKE.
How antonio de Azevedo Traced His
FaithIeSS Wife.

Judge SaDderson granted Antonio Rau-
limo de Azevedo divorce from Maria Bel
mira de Azeyedo yesterday on the ground
of infidelity.
The parties were married fifteen years
ago in st. George Island. in the Azores, eff
which they were natives. They have a
daughter. IA years of age. Ten years ago
De Azevedo left home and came 10 Cali
fornia with the object of locating home
for his wife and daughter. He CORE
sponded regularly with his wife, and had
reason to believe that all was we'll.
Three years ago De AZevedo received a
letter from his wife stating that she was
coming out to join him in California. He
expected her, but she never came. Yet
his suspicious were never aroused until
recently, despite the fact that his many
letters received no reply. However, few
months ago his eyes were opened rather
abruptly by some ouDtrymen of his, who
told him that his wife came TO this coast
in the same ship with them, and in COM
pauy with one Tomaso de AZevedo, a
namesake. but no relation. On arriving in
San Francisco they had stayed at board
ing-hOuse on Steuart street. This was in
November. 1890.
The injured husband procured a photo
graph of his wife aud proceeded to investi-
gate. He found the story true in every
particular. The photograph was soon
recognized. and De Azsvedo learned that
his faithess wife had indeed stayed at the
house with his namesake, and that they
had with them nine mon ths-old child.
The pair. travelling under the names
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas. had stayed three
days at the boarding house, whence they
departed for Mexico. They returned in
February, 1891. and remained at the house
some time. Finally, they left and returned
to the Azores. 1t was a remarkable fact
that during their stay in SAP Francisco the
woman never went out of the house.
De AZevedo soon obtained abundant
proofs of these assertions, and on present
ing them to Judge Sanderson he was
awarded his divorce without delay.

Still Cramped for Room at the City
Hall-How to Remedy the Matter.
At last nights meeting of the board of
selectmen the committee on building and
repairs reported that they had looked over
the city hall for means whereby to enlarge
the quarters of the assessors and tax COL
leotor. They had found several plans
which they explained to the board. The
one they recommended as most favorable
and most practicable was the abolishing
of the stairway between the second and
third floors and the partitioning of room
on the second floor. The FIRE marshal had
been seen in reference to this and had
given his opinion that the plan was per.
feetly safe within the fire laws.
Another plan was the taking of part of
the room occupied by the board of public
works, partitioning it off from the rest A
door could be broken in from the hallway.
It was proposed to move the registrar of
vital statistics up into this room and to
give his room to the tax collector and as
SCISSOR.
The board finally decided to postpone
the matter until the completion of the
ctty's emergency committee and see what
arrangements could be made for buying or
selling.
The board received notification of the
hearing of a petition for a wider bridge
over North Quinnipiao street before the
railroad commissioners. The hearing will
be held January 10, at 9:45 q. m.
The petition of Q. E. Skinner for ap-
pointment of town physician was tabled
until April when the appointments of town
physicians are made.

UNITED CHURCH.
Ihe Annual Meeting Held Last Even


ing-POints From the Reports.

THE PASTOR SUSTAINED.

SO to 80 in Favor OF Retaining Rev.
Mr.. Cutting ar Pastor OF the Whit
NEVILLE congregational Church -
MRS. Strong and the Court OF In
quirY.
At the annual meeting of the Whitney
vills Congregational church held yesterday
afternoon at the church vote was taken
concerning the retention of Rev. Mr.. Cut
ting as pastor of the church. There was
not very large representation of the
church membership at the meeting. Mr..
Cuttings opponents were, however, pres
emit in full numbers. The result of the
voting was SO in favor of retaining Mr..
Cutting as pastor and 80 against, giving
Mr.. Cuttings friends majority of 8. 1t
was quite surprise to his friends that the
majority was not larger, but 1t was the
general impression that not nearly all of
Mr.. Cuttings friends were there Whether
Mr.. Cutting will accept the pastorate
another year is at present matter of con-
lecture. He is at present Ill with the
measles, and has not been able to take
much notice of the affair in some weeks.
The opposition with which Mr.. Cutting
charge of this church is only another rep
etition of the old. old story of church
q1arrels. When Mr.. Cutting came to
Whitneyville he took the place of Rev.
Mr.. Dinsmore, who had won a strong place
in the affections of the people, ineomuch
that many of them thought If they could
| not have Mr.. Dinsmore they did not want
anyone. Consequently they were not en-
| tirely united on the new pastor when he
came.
The strained relations grew in measure
out of some trouble with Mrs. Strong, the
wife of the sexton. Scandalous rumors
| were circulated concerning her, and court
| of inquiry was held at which she was in
| part exoneratsd.
Mr.. Cutting during his pastorste hat
certainly commanded the respect and
hearty approval of all not unduly preju
diced against him. That such circum
stances should have arisen is unfortunate,
to cay the least. And It is doubly unfort
innate that they should strain the relations
between pastor and people.
