rive at compromise.
1t was voted to purchase five Of the

ID. L. Clements appeared before the
council on behalf of the proposed

action be reconsidered. Only three or
four would make connections, and fif-
teen were opposed to it.
Aid. Pitcher stated that out of 30
property owners on Byron and Fulton
streets only seven or eight were not
opposed to it. He moved to reconsid-
er the matter.
H. L. McJollum opposed the sewer
as the people were not able TO pay for
it. Herman knott, Frank Jones, Lar

TRAGIC HISTORY.
Judge MastersOn's Name Again Fig
uring in New York City
Sensation.

Mrs. Alice l.. Hopkinson has sued her
husband, George NJ. Hopkinson, a jeweler
at No. 202 Broadway, New York City, for
divorce and separate maintenance
When the suit comes to trial It is e1
pected some sensational testimony will
be heard.
About o'clock on the evening of May
/, 1890, a broadshouldered, gray-mus
tached man of about 81 years, rushed
into the Thirtieth street police station
and threw revolver down. He declared
that blackmailer had tried to kill him
and failed. The man was Murat Master
son, at one time assistant district attor-
ney in Arizona, afterward judge at Pres
colt and later legal practitioner at
Deming.
The woman, whom he claimed had shot
at him was the Mrs. Alice L. Hopkinson
who figures in the suit for divorce.
81 have been played for dupe by this
woman" explained Mastersen, II met
her in Chicago ten months ago and gave
her 100000 in bonds that are worth
$4,000 to-day. also sent her $500 cash
few days ago. She has thrown me over
for younger man,
Mrs. Hopkinson declared that Master
son was drunk and had himself tried to
kill her. She claiped to be his cousin,

and said she was employed as his secre-
tary. The pair were brought up in the
Jefferson market police station the fol-
lowing morning. Neither would make
charge and both we're discharged. On Mon
Gay, May 20, Judge Masterson's wife,
Florence, who had heard way down in
her home in New Mexico Of the trouble
her husband got into, arrived IN New
York A fearful interview was had be-
tween husband and wife. On the day fol-
lowing Mrs. Masterson suddenly expired
in her apartments in the Grand Union
hotel.
When Judge Masterson learned of it he
Immediately reported to the woman, who
ten days before, he claimed, had tried to
shoot him. She accompanied him to the
hotel. There a most dramatic scene oc-
cured.
"Drink has caused all your trouble,
Murat Masterson," cried Mrs. Hopkin-
son. "Swear now, over the body of your
dead wife, that you will never again touch
a drop of liquor"
The dazed man knelt down and, with
tears rolling down his rugged cheeks,
murmured brokenly:
81 swear it, so help me God, 1 swear
it,"
Masterson was heard from year later,
when he married Miss Mary l.. Postgate,
of Chicago.
