to allow n man of narrow views, stolid in
different and unapproachable makeup to
represent them in Albany. The word APP

THE FIRST GUN FIRED.

MRS. J. COLEMAN DRAYToN's ATTORNEY
 FILES HER PETITION FOR DIVORCE.
 TRENTON, N. J., Feb. 26.-Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton this morning began a cross suit for divorce agaiost her husband on the ground of desertion. The petition, which was filed in the office of the clerk in the court of chancery this morning by R.. V. Lindabury, Mrs. Drayton's counsel, is a document of two pages of typewriter matter. It sets forth that the petitioner and the defendant were married in 1879 in New York and that they continued to re- side there until 1886, during which time they moved to Bordenstown, in Summerset county, N. J.; that upon their arrival there the husband bought tract of land, |, upon which he erected a residence for him. self and family; that in 1893 the husband sold the said property and changed his residence to Somerville, where he has sino }, continued to reside and which is the legal residence of the petitioner.
 The petition goes on to say: "And your petitioner further shows that the sald hus- band lived with her from the date of their marriage until January, 1892, when, while temporarily sojourning in London, he de- serted the petitioner and moved to Amer lea, being moved thereto as this petitioner believes by cruel and unjust suspicion as to her marital fidelity, and your petitioner further shows that ever since January, 1892, her husband has willfully, continu- ously, obstinately and without just cause deserted her.''
 The petitioner closes with the usual prayer for divorce or such other relief as may seem equitable and just.
