FOOL TEE COURT
Engineer Morrall Arrested to
Prevent His Sailing for
Ireland.

John Y. MeKane, the fallen despot of
Coney Island, has an imitator in Thomas
Morrall of No. 1862 Halliday street, Jersey
City.
John Y. said injunctions don't go; SO did
Thomas Morrall. The Gar is at present
finding out in Sing Sing prison that they do
| go. Thomas is experiencing the Same IN
pleasant conviction in a cell in Hudson's
dirty cell.
Thomas at first p~ooh-poohed the Court Of
! Chancery, but today has a wholesome dread
of that Institution, and particularly Of its
| head, Chancellor McGln.
This is how he came within the Chancel-
lor,s grasp:-Eor some time past Thomas has
| not been attentive to his wife Mile as a
| dutiful and loving husband is expected to
be.
He worked as a locomotive engineer on the
Lehigh Valley Railroad and received good
wages. Very little of the money ever went
Mrs. Miles way, and very naturally she
kicked.
Her kicking was of course a purely verbal
process TO which her husband replied by
kicking OF another kind.
THE COURT OF CHANCERY BE 3LoWED.
Two days ago h. kicked her Of the stoop
| of bis house in Lafayette into the street,
shooting at his PROSTATE wife
Don't you come back here any more, or
I'll kill you.n
Mrs. Morrails friends came to her assist
| ance and took care OF ner for the night.
The next day word was sent to Thomas
that a suit for support would be brought
| against him in the Court Of Chancery.
Court of Chancery," he cried. "oh that be
bowed . only that is not exactly the word
he used.
"What do I care for the conrt," he con-
| tinued; 'sI'm just going to jump out of this
| blarsted country and get back to lreland.n
These words were reported to Mrs. Nor
RAILS counsel, Mr.. John A. DENIM, and that
gentleman went to Chancellor McGill yester-
| day afternoon and asked for d writ OF
ne ecedt, which interesting document pre-
vents a body from fleeip' the county"
YANKED HIN OF THE ENGINE.
Armed with the writ, a deputy sheriff
went over to the Lehigh Valley yard last
night to look for Mr.. Morrall.
He found that individual on his locomo-
tive, No. 647, and politely invited him te
come off the perch. or rather locomotive.
"And what forg' asked the very much
surprised engineer.
Ooh, the Chancellor wants you to be a
guest at the coun6y's expense" replied the
funny. but not over truthful officer.
~ guess l can't oblige him tonight" said
Thomas, about to open the throttle and starr
his engine.
'sOh, yes you cam" replied the other
yarking him out OF the cab and then march
| ed him off to Jail.
The suit will be heard next week.

THINK IT'S UNJUST.
The Southern Pacific Railway Co.
VIII Crop an Old Practice,

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22-In explana-
ton OF the recent action of the Southern
fdclhc Company in announcing that il
would no longer pay the 81 rate to the
Atchison for passenger ticketed to San
Diego. General Passenger Agent Goodman
said: AS an illustration OF how business
has heretofore been conducted We will take,
for example. d midwinter fair ticket from
Kansas city to san Francisco ard Los
Angeles, the route OF which includes San
Diego The Southern California requires
The payment of SO local arbitrary rate
on each round-trip ticket, and We have
SIMPLY become tired of paying it and pro-
pose th9t the passenger shall do 50 in the
future. Another reason for this action is
mat we have been paying the Southern
California road for business which ii has
never done. which was brought about in
this way: If a man wants to buy a lin
itei or second-clasS ticket from Omaha
to this city and Los Angeles the agents
of one of the connecting lines in that city
Will offer to give the passenger a ticket to
san Diego with no additional cost and of
course every one of the passengers ac-
Cept the offer. \ large majority of these
people do not visit San Diego, but dispose
of their tickets on reaching Los Angeles
still we have to pay the s. rate each way
on every one of those tickets

COMMODORE MAYO's WIFE
At Her Home I'm Waterbury, Conn.,
What the Family Say.

The handsome home of Commodore Mayo
% Iowa circle, is vacant, and there are
for rent cards on the door and in the WIN
dows. Everything Whereabouts looks gloomy
and the neignbors are wondering what the
sequel will he to the marriage of the COM
modore and pretty Miss Stevens during the
winter of 1892, when the house was first
opened to introduce the charming wife of
the aged commodore. Society has not for
gotten the marriage which mated the COM
modore, aged seventy, to the belle OF Wa
terbury, aged twenty-five and the latters
debut in Washington society, which was
characterized by a monster reception, is
still fresh in the minds of the social eie-
ment.
Now comes the startling announcement
that divorce proceedings are to be institut-
ed. and simultaneously appears the follow
ing notice in the papers:
Fora smuch as my wife, Jennie Elton
Stevens Mayo, has voluntarily deserted my
home, my bed and board. hereby warn all
persons not to trust her on my account
And declare and publish that 1 shall dis
honor all bills contracted by her. and that
Will not in any wise be responsible for her
conduct. wv. X. MAYO"
The marriage caused a social sensation al
the time in Waterbury, Conn., where the
bride was great favorite and one of the
bellies OF the town. 1t is stated shortly af-
ter the marriage that the bride had been
sent 10 a private ASYLUM at Litchlield, Conn.
after having made several attempts to COM
nit suicide. Shortly after Mrs. Mayo had
taken up her residence in this city she was
taken with nervous prostration and re-
moved to her Connecticut home

L called at the Stevens residence at IL
O'Clock tonight to interview Jennie E. Ste
vens Mayo in regard to her separation from
Commodore Mayo. Mrs. Mayo had re-
tired Her father, Orville II. Stevens; her
mother and Lieut.. Stevens, ner brother
identiiied with silver mining in Montana,
who is home on visit, all declined to be
interviewed until they knew specifically the
step taken by Commodore Mayo
Mrs. Stevens told ME that her daughter
was now entirely we'll and deplored the
publicity that had been created She said
that Commodore Mayo has never contribute
ed TO his wife's support, and is not asked
to.
The family think that this latest stem Of
Commodore Mayo is taken because they
have compelled hin. to return the ward
robe OF the erstwhile bride. purchased pre-
vious to her marriage, which he HAD pre
viously declined to surrender to Mr.. Ste
vens.
Mr.. Stevens is one of the most prominen,
and influential men in the city, and has held
