HUSBAND Was "FlNNICKY"
And so the Wife Demanded

Ten Children Testify in Favor
of the Mother.


HARRIsoNvILLE, Mo-. Jan. 12.-The Cass
county court has Just adjourned, after
having granted an unusually large num-
Der Of divorces.
A rather unusual case was the suit of
Mrs. Eliza Mohney against John Mohney,
u farmer, The defendant was 81 years old
and his wife biushingly insisted that she
but &c. In her petition she charged
desertion and non support, but in the
hearing of the testimony it was admitted
that this was alleged merely as a for
mality, it having been agreed between the
two that the wife should bring suit and
the defendant weuld not contest it.
Mrs Mohney SAID she was married in
1850, and that there had been ten children
born to them. The ten were in the room
as witnesses for their mother. Mrs.
Mohney said that for 25 or 80 years her
husband was a model man and they got
along beautifully.
But" she went on, latter that he got
'fnnicky' and would take spells, when he
would desert me for months. We quar-
relied all the time. don't say he was to
blame for these quarrels all the time, for
had big family and could not be honey
ing around him from morning till night,
but 1t was his fault most of the time"
When all evidence was in Judge Wood
said that from a legal standpoint he would
be compelled to grant the divorce, but
much against his will. In handing down
the decision he scored the old couple
severely, to which they listened with
placid indifference

then fled from the saloon and was cap
tured over Market street bridge.
He was tried for the murder and ably

AS the official, who was alone, stopped
in front of the iron door of the convict's

face.
His eyes danced as the official slowly

The "iron Trade Review" Notes De-
cided IInprOyement--Good Contracts
for Railroad Cars and Iron Work.
CLEvELANp, o., Jan. 10.-The Iron Trade
Rc1ie@ this week will say:
While any round statement about the
iron and steel trade, now that it has fairly
entered upon new year, would show
some hindranCes to improvement, there
are yet number of encouraging items in
the reports from various sections the past
week
The 10000 tons purchase of rails by the
Pennsylvania company, noted last week,
is expected to be followed later in the year
by another order for like amount.
4 plumber of good contracts for cars are
pending and within fortnight orders for
1000 to 5000 ears have been closed by
Western roads. The effect of this begin
ming of long postponed and much needed
acquisitions fer equipment will be felt in
turn by producers of pig iron by bar mills,
car wheel foundaries-in fact all along the
line.
One Southern pipe concern has taken
orders for 1870 tons recently, albeit the
price was u record-breaker. AT Chicago a
| contract Of close to 1000 tons of structural
material was taken by Pittsburg mill,
aud in the same market T., 600 ton bar
iron sale was made In the present week.
Some further lake ship-buildng is
| promised, and in connection with extern
sive bridge enterprises, some good work
has come to central Western bridge works.
| There is the beginning also of a larger
movement of iron from furnaces to
! foundries, East and West indicating that
| foundry men, none OF whom have carried
any stock of iron, are having more work
| to do,

OUR sIuiAN CONNECTION.


"AoBJ VI hdhs
At the New-Century CLUB Friday night
Professor Edward d. Cope of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, addressed fair
sized gathering on the topic of 1.-THE Gene
alogy of Man"
The lecture was under the joint auspices
of the Delaware Society of Natural His
tory and the New-Century Club.
Professor Cope is the ideal picture. per-
sonally,. OF a savant; spare. gray, sharp
featured, and, in his platform style, scien-
tilic without scintilla Of sentiment. He
is coldly exact as the glacial period Of the
earths existence that he spoke of. He
was effectually aided in this idea by the
condition of the Temperature of the room
which was possibly sinilar in It's GOODNESS
to that of the Paleolithic period.
Around the platform and overhead were
numbers of diagrams, pictures and polly
syllable termipology, that no doubt re-
joieed the hearts Of certain departments of
the natural History membership. On a
blackboard the lecturer outlined the dlvi-
sions and systems, as commonly under
steod of the periods siAce the earth's first
formation. Another diagram gave the
list Of places where skeletons of primitive
man had been found whose bones indi-
Gated q brotherhood to the anthTopcid ape.
The list Of places Is: Naulette, spy, Mean
derthal. Shipka. Trinil.
With GREATNESS anxiety the audience
awaited revelations from the lecturer as to
the mere exact relations of his audience to
the anthropoid ape. These, however,
were very few and far between. and af-
ferded little of definite assurance of simian
ancestry. Lemurs, he said, are our closest
cousins. They exist at present in myriads
in the island of Madagascar, The paleo-
lthic skeleton discovered at Sky (pro-
nounced "Skee") shows the short leg bone,
between knee and foot, which Is an an
thropoid type. Another showed a SINH
larity in the arm. The fact that monkeys
have no chins, the professor said, is no
proof of absence of simian ancestry, for
the human chin is simply the jaw bones
drawn together underneath.

CLAYMoNT. Jan. l2.-The news of the
death of Mrs. Gen. Isaac j. Wistar, which
reached here by the Philadelphia afternoon
papers yesterday, has cast shadow of
sorrow over the hearts and homes Of her
many friends in Claymunt Mrs. Wistar
was most lovely lady, respected aud loved
by everybody. During the summer
months, when the family occupied their
summer home along the Delaware, Mrs.
Wistar took frequent dives in her phnton,
sometimes with lady friend, or with her
distinguished husband, or alone. She
knew the people here well, and they knew
and loved her. She much enjoyed the SER
vices of the 7. Il. Church, which she regu-
larly attended and was kind friend to
every charitable object. She will be sadly
missed, as the summer shall come again.

LOOKS LIKE 4 TOTAL loss.
Allegheny May Now BE Abandoned I,
the unhartYriters.

In the city last Saturday gentleman
interested in the outcome of the Allie
ghcny admiralty suit, said that it looks
now as if the big British steamer will be
a total loss and will have to be aban-
doned to the underwriters.
The damage done by the Caucase to
the Allegheny is written up at 5000 900.
The Caucase gave security for her own
value in full, $4,000, in reply to the
libel of the Allegheny's owners. Under
the recent Limited Liability Act when
there is a collision the vessel at fault
does not give more security than her
own value. That is to say, in looking
for damage suit the complainant can
not recover from the owners of the de-
PENDANT vessel beyond the latter's actual
value IN case it does not measure up to
full value of the loss.
This is the case in the present suit.
The Allegheny cannot recover over
$4,000 In the Caucase's cross-libel on
the Allegheny the former has not much
of showing as the British vessels
value was recorded in court after the
collision. Therefore 1t now looks that
she will develop no assets for the
CauCase.
