NEW SUITS.

w. II. BROKER Wants A Divorce From
His Wife-Other Suits.
A petition was filed in the Forty fifth
district court this morning, wherein w.
H. BROKER complains of his wife, En-
ma F. BROKER, and prays for di-
vorce from her. They were married
in March 1881, so the petition alleges,
and have two children, aged 10 and
years. Petitioner says that he has
always treated his wife in kindness and
that in the past four years she per-
petrated against plaintiff series of
studied vexations calculated to destroy
his peace of mind. He says that she
has sold the household goods on sever
al occasions and left him. The petit
ton further states that on August 10
last defendant invited a woman of ill
repute to live with her and that they
are now living together with his chill
dren at 1880 Pine street. Petitioner
alleges that defendant assaulted him
with a pistol last August and that she
had him arrested and tried on a charge
of making threats, on which he was
tried before Justice Devine and ac-
quilted. Plaintiff says that defendant
is an unfit person to have care of the
children and prarys for the custody
of them.

A BURGLAR KILLED.

New York, Sept. 24.-Early Sunday
morning Officers Becker and Cary
saw three men, John O'Brien, VIM.
Walsh, and a third whose name is
unknown, leave cigar store at 1885
Broadway. Supposing that a burgla-
~ had been committed, the officers
called to the men to halt but instead
of stopping, they broke into a run
through West 35th street. The po-
licemen gave chase and finally cap
tured Walsh.
O'Brien, at this time was a short
distance ahead of the officers and one
of them drew his revolver and fired
twice. The first shot missed o.
Brien, but the second hit him in the
back, and passed through his heart,
killing him instantly. The third bur-
glar escaped. A bundle that O'Brien
had thrown away in his fight was
found to contain six boxes Of cigars
valued at $25.
The body of O'Brien was taken to
the morgue.

The supremacy of the fox terrier is
gone. One misses the little, vivid
white spots that moved about so quick
ly and made streets and thoroughfares
gay, and, it must be admitted, noisy.
Most of these dogs were mongrels, and,
being of no agreeable value, and prob
ably of no clearly defined ownership,
they passed quickly in a wholesale way
into the lethal chambers. London
is rid of them, but at all our towns,
the white terrier with the odd mark
ings is still in the ascendant.
On the other hand, here in town we
have the Irish and the Scotch. These
are as yet pretty pure; they keep ra-
Their to themselves, after the manner
of the provincials, but in couple of
years mongrelism will assert itself,a
London will be overrun. AS 1t is, the
hardy little Aberdeen, with his long
body, short legs and nondescript mark
ings of black and gray and mustard.
holds the street, and the Irish terrier
loafs about, social and easy-going.
They are both excellent in their own
way, but, for all that, one misses the
sharp, quick vitality of the fox terrier.
Even as a mongrel he seemed to con-
centrate in his active little body all
doggy qualities, especially fidelity and
hatred Of cats.
