INJURED WIFE MAY SUE.
Appellate Court Confirms Its Former
Ruling ON n Wife's Rights.

Appellate Court Confirms Its Former
Ruling ON a Wife's Rights.
A decision of much social and domestic
interest was rendered yesterday by the
Appellate Court in an opinion by Judge
Gavin in the case of Lizzie Railsback VS..
Nathan Railsback ct al, which came up
from the Fulton Circuit Court. Lizzie Rails
back married Alvardo Railsback, only child
OF Nathan Railsback, in 1891, in Marshall
county. They went to Hot Springs, Ark,
to live aud kept house until September, 1891,
when they returned to Argus, Ind, and
went to live with the husbands parents.
In December, Alvardo returned to Hot
Springs. leaving his young wife with his
parents without other means of support.
In five weeks they sent her to her own
parents home, short distance away, and
later packed up all her effects and sent
them to her with the information that her
husband should not live with her any more
There had never been any trouble between
the young couple and they had parted in
kindness. She continued as she had al
ways done to deport herself as faithful
and loving wife. Her father-in-law pro-
ceeded however, to poison the mind of her
husband against her SO that he soon ceased
to write to her. Stories of a malicious
nature. the opinion says, We're sent him in
regard to her. with the. effect that his af-
father had secured control of property
worth $500, belonging to her husband, and
had him under his control. The injured
wife brought suit for damages for aliena-
ton of affections, and IN a special verdict,
setting out the above story, a judgment of
S1,170 was given her by the jury. The
court set the verdict aside upon the theory
that it: did not state facts showing any
wrong by appellees, but merely conclusions.
The opinion reverses this Judgment and
remands the case for retrial, which is
victory for the wife. The court said that
while the verdict contains superfiuous con,
clusions. it contained sufficient facts. and
must not be set aside for the superfuities,
ut can no longer be controverted in In
DIANA" continues the opinion, that
woman may maintain an action for dam
ages suffered by reason of another's ma
icious alienation of her husbands affec-
tions from her. For many years the right
to maintain such an action was restricted
to the husband. This court, by Reinhard, j..
In Postlethwaite VS. Postlethwaite, Ind
Opp. 473, first declared the law of this
State to be in accordance with manifest
principles of justice and equity, and decided
that cause of action vested in the
wronged wife well as in the injured hus-
band. The Supreme Court In Haynes vs.
the doctrine of this case in NEST positive
terms. We are unable after care
full consideration to find in this verdict
the want of any essential fact necessary to
the appellants right to recovery"
The opinion says that the parents In TINS
case did not take the part of their child
IN a family difficulty for which they are
not responsible, but instead of good fa1tn
the facts show malice and falsehood.

REAL-ESTATE VALUES.
Assessor Says the City Valuation
Shows No Decline in Prices.

Our men are progressing rapidly with
their work." said Township Assessor
Wolf yesterday, land / think we will get
through in the next sixty days allowed by
law. / believe that indianapolis real estate
will hold its own this year and I don't look
for a decrease to speak of. After the ap-
praisement OF 1891 city property advanced
rapidly and then the prices went down.
However, Indianapolis property is as valu-
able now as it was in 1891, and the ap-
praisement of this year, think, sgill cor
respond with that taken four years ago.
Of course, there will be found a decline
in some localities, but in other parts of the
town there will be an increase. There is
one thing / notice this year, and that is
that the street improvements of the last
three years have helped out property won
derfully. Real estate on those streets where
improvements have been recently made has
advanced. and in some instances is worth
from, S. to 81 a foot more than in 1884,.
County Assessor Baker will meet the
assessor from Hamilton county to-day to
fix the value of property lying along the
line between the two counties.

AGAINST THE CITY
THE COMPANY WINS THE BIG FOUR
SIDEWALK CASE.
Important Ruling ON the Right of a
Woman to Sue for Alienation of
Her Husbands Affections.

The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down decision in the Big Four depot side
walk case, in which the opinion, written by
Judge Monks, favors the railroad company's
view OF the case. Section 50 of the city or
dinance, under which the arrest of John
Higgins, appellee was made for driving
across a sidewalk, was declared null and
void. The court holds that the prosecution
must be conducted under the act of 1867.
The question here is not" says the opin-
ion, whether person wrongfully driving
across sidewalk shall go unpublished, but
whether such act is violation of the stat
ute; il it is. then the act can only be pun
ished under the provisions of such statute,
and not for violation of the ordinance.
We are of the opinion that the term town.
1852, X. s. 1881, is general and comprehends

Several Women Injured in the Rush

The spring opening of the Model Clothing
Company, which was held last night. was
more of a success than was hssgained for.
The company had made exten We prepara-
tons for the event, which was also to
mark the opening of the remodeled rooms
occupied by the company. It had been an
nounced that the opening would be from
to 10 o'clock last night, and that the
favors which would be distributed would
be small souvenir spoons. This offer evil

for before 7 o'clock the crowd had gathered
before the doors of the store. and by
o'clock the street was SO filed with the
waiting crowd that street-car traffic was
almost blocked. Everything was in readi-
ness and as announced the doors were
opened exactly at g. There was a rush
which swept the two policemen stationed
at the door from their feet, and in few
dense that women began to scream, and
three tainted. Those near the unfortunate
women raised them high above loy !, the heads
reach the air. Those coming behind kept
pushing ahead, and for a. time it looked as
sage was sent to the police station for
help, and in a short time Captain Quigley
and all the night sergeants had reported
and were doing everything in their power
to control the crowd The front doors were
closed, but it was fully half hour before

afterwards it was. decided to try to, open
the doors again, but the crowd had evil

for the rush was, if anything. greater than
before, and as soon as possible the doors
We're again closed, and the management
decided that no other attempt should be
made. Fully five thousand of the spoons
were given away in the short time that the
doors were opened, showing the enormity Of
the crowd which had gathered. Many

the store for an hour, thinking that they
would be given an opportunity to enter,
although a police sergeant had notified
them that the doors would be opened no
more. The women who had tainted all
recovered short time after being carried
to Huders drug store, except Miss Edna
Shay, living at SO Fletcher avenue. She
had been severely crushed, and it was
half hour before she recovered sufficiently
to be taken to her home. A friend who
was with her was also unconscious for a
time. Three other women were overcome
and carried from the crowd, but all of them
recovered with the fresh air.

DETAINED A LADY'S NAME.
A Young Man Uses Bad Language and
Is Promptly Knocked Down.

The police were looking, last night, for
the participants in fight on Monument
place, which took place last evening. The
names are not known, but the officers have
information which may lead to arrests
should it be thought advisable to make
them. It seems that a crowd of young men
were standing near Meridian street talk
ing when one of them made a very insult
ing remark about an estimable young lady
of the city known to many in the crowd.
One of the number was a particular friend
of the young lady and he knocked the young
man down. The crowd was against the
young man who had used the language and
he picked himself up, wiped the blood from
his face and walked away.
