GLASSCOCK DIVORCE SUIT
The Plaintiffs Counsel Asks Leave to
Amend the Original Bill
Informal alton From the Anidaxits FILED
by senator Stewart Forms the Basis
of an Additional Charge.

The divorce case Of Charles L. against
Carrie NJ Glasscock in which the name of
Senator Stewart has obtained some promi-
Eence, took another turn today, when Mr.
Campbell Darlington, counsel for MIR.
Glasscock, filed a petition for leave TO
amend the original bill. The petition prays
the court for leave to amend the original
bill by adding thereto paragraphs alleging
that Mrs. Glasscock was guilty of adul-
terry with one w. r. Abel here in The sum-
mer of 1891, and with one James Y. Cobb
in 1893.
1t is not doubted that the leave asked
for will be granted, and then testimony
will be taken before Attorney c. A. Bran
denberg, who was appointed by the court
the 2Ith of last July to take the testimony
in the case. 1t is said that the complain
ant will subpoena both Abel and Cobb
and require them TO testify to their al
legged adulterous acts with Mrs. Glasscock.
Mr. Darlington stated to a Star reporter
today that his client meant to obtain a
divorce; that he was entirely honest and
sincere i'm the prosecution of the suit, and
that il Abel and Cobb had committed adul-
terry will Mrs. Giasscock that was an ad-
tioral reason why a divorce should be
granted him. That the two men named in
the petition for leave to amend We're guilty,
said Mr.. Darlington, was fair to assume,
Judging from their alleged affidavits filed
Under the laws Of the District, ii is stated,
there is no such thing IS a correspondent in
a dvor e suit, and the Intervention of Col.
Chrisiy was made for the purpose, as ex-
planned by him, Of protecting Senator Stew
art by obtaining from him the privilege of
appearing in the case to defend himself
against the allegations in the alleged
nronged husbands bill of complaint. On
the Ith instant Col. Chrsty filed a brief IN
81 pport CT his contention that Senator Stew
art should be granted the desired privilege.
AS the case now stands, il is understood
that there are two points to be determined
by the court before the examiner can pro-
ceed To take testimony in the case. The
first is whether Senator Stewart has such a
standing in court as to entitle him % move
to dismiss the bill, and, second, whether the
petition for leave to amend filed today shall
be granted IL is believed that both points
viii be decided in the affirmative: but, al
though the court should decide that Senator
Stewart should be permitted to appear in
the case. II would not follow that his mo
ton TO dismiss the bill would be granted

tnony has been taken before the examiner

hut Behind Time.
NEW YORK, September PR. p Searies,
the bicycle rider who attempted to lower
the road record between Chicago and New
York, arrived yesterday afternoon at the
Hotel Pcmeroy, having been eight days and
three hours on the road. He failed to ac-
complish his task, that of covering the one
thousand miles In five days and five hours,
or OF breaking the existing record of seven
days and twenty-five hours.
Men We're sent out on nearly all the roads
approaching New York to meet the delayed
wheelman, but all missed him; and at 3
O'Clock he came in by the Kingsbridge road
and boulevard. Searles was so weak that
he had to be lifted from his machine, and
Immediately fell asleep. having had but a
dozen hours rest since he left Chicago over
a week ago. He was taken to a room in
the hotel and put to bed. All attempts 70
rouse him and get description of his trip
were unavaiiing. SO badly did the man
need sleep that a sound rubbing down by
trainers did not even disturb his siumbers.
In a little conversation had with him on
the boulevard Searles said he would have
easily accomplished his task had it not been
for the recent rainstorm which overlook
him at Fremont, Ohio. and accompanied
him all the way to Syracuse.

We are still in the dark as to the details

and that their loss was confined to cruisers
