HENNING DISCHARGED.
He Afterward Brought Suit Against
His Wife for Divorce.

Fl. NJ. Henning was tried in the Po-
lice Court yesterday morning Oh a
charge of battery, preferred by his
wife, and was acquitted.
The evidence showed that for some
time past discord had reigned in the
Henning domlcile, and that on Mon
day Mrs. Henning visited her hus-
bands office on Second street and de-
manded her clothes and some money.
Henning attempted to eject her, but
did not succeed. 1t was shown that he
used no real violence in his efforts.
Henning took the stand and testified
that on Sunday night he had found his
wife in a compromising situation with
John Burns, and that when she visited
him at his office the next day he de-
clined walking on the street with her.
Justice Davis said there are times
when a man is justified in using GER
tain amount of force with his wife, and
that the case in hearing was one of
them. He ordered that Henning be dis
charged.
Later Henning filed the papers in a
suit against his wife for divorce.
The record-union., 1897-10-06

There is, he claimed, wide difference
between making a charge against
person and expressing an opinion on
certain facts or information regarding
that person.
Reading from the article, he said in
relation TO the phrase: The entries in
the red pocketbook Indicated that it
simply declared an opinion or an in
ference. The second paragraph, he
said, was not complained of and the
third was merely an expression of opin-
ion that Weinstock was connected with
the others in the proposed newspaper
The time for furnishing men for their
opinions has gone by and to-day
man can safely express his opinion on
any subject or any person.
II it was used as a cloak or had
some hidden meaning and was used to
throw aspersion on an individual it
would be different. There being no al
legation OF a peculiar meaning, the
court must decide whether or not it is
libel. Coming to the question of
opinion, is this statement of fact or
the expression of opinion? He read ex-
tracts 10 illustrate the use of the
words indicate and Inference" With
reference to expressions of opinion and
inference, he read from several decis-
ions.
He claimed that the parts of the ar
ticle complained of that were not spec
ified were admitted as true and quoted
a decision to that effect. He thought
there was no escape from the conclu-
sion that those parts of the article not
complained of are true There was no
allegation that the parts speaking of
the red pocketbook and the combine
are not true, therefore, they must be
regarded as being true.
Coming to the document itself, for the
purpose of showing that the article
was not hbelous and that it does not
make any charge against Mr.. Vein
stock, he read the first of the para
graphs that were numbered in the ar
ticle as conclusions, and said it did not
mention Mr.. WeinStock Nor does the
second make any charges against him
or connect him with the alleged COM
bine. The third is not complained
OF. The fourth simply states that the
alleged combine counted on J. G. Davis
for support with John A. Sheehan and
H. Weinstock to control the fall cleo
ton and future patronage of the city
The fact that dishonest men counted
on the support of honest men does not
constitute a charge against the latter.
1t is not alleged in the fifth, he
claimed, that Mr. Weinstock was aware
of the plan to run him for Mayor In
regard to the plan to control city mat
ters, in the sixth paragraph, there is
nothing to show that Mr. Weinstock
was aware of it or that his character
had been damaged by the article.
Nor did the seventh connect Mr.
Weinstock with the plan to protect the
gambling hell by means of the pro-
posed paper.
Unless it was shown, therefore, that
Mr.. WeinstOck was aware of the cOmbi-
nation it could not be a libelous article.
nor could it charge Mr.. WeinStock with
anything that would injure his charac-
ter. 1t would be ridiculous for him
to claim that, because his name has
been mentioned in connection with the
others, he has been exposed to obloquy
and avoidance by his neighbors.
Mr.. Reddy then said he was unable to
finish his argument and asked an ad-
journment until this morning, which

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.


This may read as though we were
putting it a little strong because it
is generally thought by the majority
of people that Dyspepsia in its chronic
form is incurable, or practically So But
we have long since shown that Dys-
pepsia is durable, nor is it such a diff
cult matter as al first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex
tremes or else deluging the already
over burdened stomach with "bitters,
after dinner pills." etc, which invari
ably increase the difficulty even if in
some cases they do give slight tenn
porary relief. Such treatment of the
stomach simply makes matters worse.
What the stomach wants is a rest. Now
how can the stomach become rested,
recuperated and at the same time the
body nourished and sustained.
This is the great secret and this is
also the secret of the uniform success
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This
is a comparatively new remedy, but its
success and popularity leaves no doubt
as to it's merits.
The Tablets viii digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia accord
ing to directions is to eat an abundance
of good, wholesome food and use the
tablets before and after each meal and
the result will be that the food will be
digested no matter how bad your dys-
pepsia may be, because as before stat
ed, the tablets will digest the food even
if the stomach is wholly inactive. To
illustrate our meaning plainly, if you
take ] 500 grains of meat, eggs or ordi-
nary food and place it in a tempera-
ture of 9S degrees, and put with it one
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets it will
digest the meat or eggs almost as per-
fectly as if the meat was enclosed with
in the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak
yet these tablets will perform the work
of digestion and the body and brain
will be properly nOurished and at the
same time a radical, lasting cure of
dyspepsia will be made because the
much abused stomach will be given,
to some extent, a much needed rest.
Your druggist win tell you that of the
many remedies advertised to cure dys-
pepsia none of them has given so COM
plete and general satisfaction as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not
least in Importance in these hard times
is the fact that they are also the cheap
est and give the most good for the least
money.

more death than in the previous twenty
four hours and at least four of the pa
| itients were reported at 8 o'clock TO be In

last twenty-four hours the record here
stood:

| The ninth new case reported today was
that of Mrs. Lessemes whose death is
mentioned. The woman had been sick
for several days, but she had apparently
no friends, or if she did, they were afraid
| to go near her. 1t was only this morning
/ that doctor was summoned and when
he went to the house he diagnosed the
case as yellow fever. The woman died Of
inattention as much as Of the prevailing
fever. Marie Dubois, who died this morn
ing, was child three and half years
old, living in Carrollton, where the dis
ease has been especially prevalent She
was taken i'll on the 10Th and her case
was Immediately diagnosed as yellow fe-
yer. The other death was S. Zecreto, an
Italian, and as in other cases OF Italians
afflicted, physician was only called in
when there was no hope of saving his
life.

ported to be in an extremely dangerous
condition. The other cases, however,
were reported as presenting favorable
signs, and there was marked improve
