school at Burrville, ID. c., was sued for
divorce yesterday by his wife, Estclle
Lewis.
She is a tall, comely young woman with
an intelligent face, and general appearance

in several famous divorce cases.
They were married May 3, S94, by Rev.
William a. Credit. pastor of the Berean
Baptist Church, at Eighteenth and NJ
streets. Her maiden name was Estelle
Lee. From the first. she says, he treated
her badly, being subject TO fits of wild
anger which were only calmed when he
had found u victim for his fury in his
wife and had beaten her cruelty. She con-
ccaled this treatment on account of her
shame for both of them, and hoped that by
kindness and forhearance she might be
able to win him over to proper behavior
if motto that tenderness and affection which
a husband owes a faithful wife.
lie for a long time always promised to
treat her right, but these promises were
soon broken. or late his assaults have
become almost daily and he has threatened
to kill her. She has come to believe
that his purpose was to carry out this
naturally delicate and nervous his treat
ment has almost ruined her health
She said yesterday that June 26, 1895,
while they were walking along the public
road, he Knocked her down with his fist.
She was in delicate condition and the
assault was likely to cause her death
He said he would willingly go to the gal
lows on her account.
On two other occasions his brutal treat
ment when she was i'll nearly cost her life.
The last time he beat her was on February
last. He attacked her at the house Of
Mrs. Vance and pounded her viciously. She
could not longer endure such treatment
She had lost all hope of recIaiming her
husband, and was so weakened by nearly
two years of continuous crueties that her
life was in danger She applied to After
ney William Preston Williamson to secure
a divorce.
The bill was filed late yesterday after
noon and the order of secrecy, which has
become the rule, was made.
Mrs. Lewis says her husband receives
SIC month as teacher and SO month
for singing in the church choir. He has
also a large bank account. She hopes the
court will give her a support during the
her five-montbs-old baby.
She is not able to work and is wholly
dependent upon friends unless Mr.. Lewis
is compelled to pay her expenses.
When given divorce, which she conf
IDENTIFY expects, she also wants the custody
Of their baby.

FIGURES THAT TELL.

The Ledger of yesterday presents a
comparison of the vote at the Demo
cratic primary in 1894 and that cast
at the recent primary for city offices.
1t Is very interesting exhibit. and
demonstrates that there is an old-time
interest taken in the nomination OF u
Democratic ticket. and that harmony
again prevails in the party ranks. The
figures as given by the Ledger are as fol-
lows:
Two years ago the vote for Mayor
was 2,l69; last Tuesday II was 3,272-
a gain for this primary of 1.1OS.
The candidate for Commemorative
Attorney in 1894 received 2.527 votes.
This year 1928 votes were recorded for
the same office, and increase of COG for
the last primary.
The candidate for City Attorney two
years ago received 2.552 votes; this year
he received BPS votes-an increase
for 1886 of $40 votes.
In 1884 the City Collectorship received
2.SO9 votes in 1894; this year the vote
was 3,22i-a gain of 4l5
The position of Sergeant secured . NJ
votes in 1894; this year 1t received 3aSi
Votes-an increase for the present wear
of 30.
The adherents of the What do-you-
collect-anyhow' party can only get cold
comfort from n persual of the above
comparison. They no doubt feel that
they are out in the cold, and will not be
in 1t In the May election.
