LANG BEAT HIS SPOUSE
Brutality of a Pine,STeet Cigar.
Dealer May Cause a
Divorce.
Seized Her by the Hair and Dragged
Her From Bed While She Was
Very Sick.

The divorce suit of Bessie Lang against
Charles Lang came up in Judge Hebbard's
court yesterday on motion for alimony
pending trial.
Lang is a cigar.dealer at 1913 Pine street.
and if half the story his wife tells of him
be true he is brute with few peers. The
complaint says that the couple were mar
ried on November 7, 1881, and that during
the fifteen years since then ten children
have been born to them. Recently the
husband is charged with so far forgetting
his manhood as to strike his better half
On March Ii, 1896, it is alleged that
Lang struck his wife with his clenched
fist, pulled her out of bed by the hair of
her head and otherwise maltreated her in
a shameful manner. On April II the per-
Torrance of the previous month was re-
peated with the exception that the pro-
gramme was varied to the extent of the
administration of a number of kicks. Mrs.
Lang alleges that on this occasion she
was dra gged about the house, her husband
holding her by her hair, and that as the
result of this treatment she was rendered
"sick and sore and black and blue"
Lang seems to have been assailed at
regular intervals with spells of brutality,
for month after the April attack, May
10, he again peat his wife. She was sick
in bed at the time. He called her vile and
indecent names, said he hoped size would
die and refused 10 give her food or drink
and would not allow any one else 10 do SO.
The next day he again beat her, this time
with his clenched list.
Lang's success as WIFE beater seemed
to encourage him, and each successive
time he tried ner powers of endurance by
striking her with more deadly weapon.
On May IA he assaulted her with q
heavy chair and was only prevented from
adding murder to his list of shortcomings
because of the interference of his eldest
daughter, Mamie, aged Is years, and a
neighbor.
One another occasion, the date of which
she does not remember, Mrs. Lang says
her husband threw a bucket of boiling
water over her, the scars of the scalding
she received then being permanent.
Mrs. Lang prays for a divorce, the GUS
tody of the children, 500 per month ali
mony and the household furniture at 9I7
Greenwich street.

SUED RANKIN's ESTATE.
Japan Missionary Seeks TO Recover
Money Loaned on a Note

A japan Missionary Seeks TO Recover
Money Loaned on q Note.
Mary B. Daniels has sued the estate of
Ira P. Rankin for $780, balance claimed to
be due on promissory note for $3.50, made
on October l, 1889.
There is peculiar legal point involved
in the case. The attorneys for Rankin's
executors claim that the note is outlawed
by the statute of limitations. Miss
Daniels, who was missionary in Japan,
says that in 1893 Mr.. Rankin paid her 500
on account and signed a receipt. written
by himself, IN the body OF which was his
name. She claims that under a recent
Supreme Court decision the fact of the
debtor having written his name in a
receipt, even without his signature, renews
the note from the day of the receipt.

by a Powell-Street Car, but Es-
capes With Severe Bruises.
There was another boy struck by one of
Huntington's fenderless cars yesterday
afternoon, but in this instance neither life
nor limb was lost. though the urchin was
severely bruised.
AS car 400 running on the Powell-street
line, was crossing Lombard street on its
way TO Market, the boy ran across the
track to avoid car coming from the op-
posite direction. On the other track he
paused TO look around, when car 400
struck him.
He was knocked about eight or ten feet
by the force of the blow, but luckily fell
outside tn path of the car. The gripman
and conductor at once ran to his assist
ance and picked him up. In few
minutes he was able to hobble away.
