Divorce Suit Did It.
Mrs. Katie Stiefel, who is tho Fields of the
variety team of Murphy and Fields, has brought
action for separation from Isaac Stiefel, whom
she secretly married seventeen years ago. Her
motion for counsel fee and alimony has been set
down for a hearing on Sept 10 in tho Supreme
Court, Special Term.
Mrs Stiefel was Kate Peters, IT years old,
and was living with her parents at 1877 East
Seventy eighth street hen she married the de-
fendant. She says that he was afraid his father,
who was wealthy. would disinherit him II the
marriage were known. she was q Christian
and he was Jew. So at his request the mar
riage was kept secret. She continued to live
at home under her maiden name. She subse:
quently moved TO Plainheld. and he continued
to visit her. She had a child and disclosed the
marriage. but as Stefe failed to support her or
the child she looked about for employment
With Herman Schwartz she formed the va
riety team of Murphy and Fields in 1885. They
play ed throughout this country and Europe, but
separated last June. when Stiefel began an 40.
tion for absolute divorce in New Jersey
naming Murphy correspondent. The case was
tried before Vice Chancellor Stevens, who found
In favor of Mrs. Stiefel.
In the present motion for separation Mrs.
Stiefel makes the novel statement that the ac-
tion brought against her for divorce has pre-
vented her from getting another engagement on
the stage. She declares that Stofel has refused
to provide for her, although he was the cause
of breaking up the team, and she declares thAo
she is now without means.

THE SOUTHERN RATE WAR.
The 0-nboard Air Line Makes Another
Reduction Its Bay Line.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 5.-President Hoffman and
Vice President st. John of the Seaboard Air
Line are in conference in this city in regard to
the rate situation. The Baltimore steam Packet
Company, better known as the Bay Line, the
water connection Of the Seaboard Air
Line between this city and Norfolk, has
filed with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Washington new tariff, enec-
tive Sept. 7, between Norfolk. Portsmouth.
and Old Point Comfort and Baltimore. Will
mington Philadelphia. New York and Boston.
This tariff is said TO be based on reduction of
about 30 to 40 per cent. This means that tho
war is being extended by the Seaooard to tho
furthest possible limits.
Thus far the new tariff filed by the Southern
Railway Company only affects those points in
the South reached by both lines, and in tho
printed tariff no reference Is made to other
points. Owing to this fact the Interstate Com
merce Commission seems to have regarded the
notice ambiguous and as consequences
Auditor Smith Of the Commission has written IA
letter TO the Southern Railway Company ask :
ing whether or not the miximum figures filed
apply to Intermediate points and shorter hauls.

THE NEws AND OBSERVER, WEDNESDAY. OCT. IA. 1896.

ment Judge Montgomery had the fol
lowing order drawn, which he signed:
I'm this MATTER, after hearing the af-
fidavits filed and arguments of counsel,
it is considered and adiudged that the
said r. l.. Reed and e. o. Curtis, reg
istrars of the Fifth Ward precinct of
Winston, n c., have not combined to
prevent legal registration, but it APP
pearing from their own affidaWits that
they have erroneous views as to the
duties required of registrars, it is
therefore ordered that they proceed on
Saturday, Oct. II, 1896, to discharge
their duties as defined in the order
made on October 8, 1896, and allow all
persons who have not registered, who
are residents of said Fifth ward pre-
cinct of Winston and duly qualified
voters therein, to have their names
put on the registration book Of said
precinct.
The defendants then gave notice of
an appeal and the matter will come
up in the Supreme Court this morning
for final determination.
Mai. Graham insisted ON Judge
Montgomery's continuing the case un-
til next Tuesday after the last registra-
tion day, when a decision in favor of
the registrars would do them no good,
but Judge Montgomery refused to add
that clause to the order, as it would
work gross injustice to the defendants
by destroying their right of appeal.
1T was evidently the intention of
both HoltOn and his attorney to have
the matter left over until after the last
day of registration, in order that the
food gates might be let down and
everything in human form be allowed
to vote without question. That this
was their intention may readily be
seen when it was remembered that the
order issued by Judge Montgomery
Friday, in which he gives his construc-
ton of the law, as TO what questions
may be asked voters, has been printed
in pamphlet form and is ready to be
distributed all over the State,
