DIR. GLADNoS FILES ANSWER.
Explains why His Affection for His
Wife Left Him.

The answ CT of Physician Edwin Glad
mon, of 248 Delaware avenue northeast,
to the suit for divorce instituted by his
wife last Thursday was flied yesterday.
1t is on the lines already Indicated by
DR.. Giadmon, III an interview with a
Times reporter, published with the news
of the original suit. Dr.. Gladmon denies
generally al the charges brought forward
by his wife
In reply to Mrs GIadmon's allegations
regarding his infatuation for Mrs. Laura
j. Weirne-, the defendant claims chat
the lady referred to is the matron Of the
sanitarium. at No. 24S Delaware avenue,
OF which he is physician in charge, and
that his relations with her are pnfely
official.
In explanation of Mrs. Gladmon's charges
that her husband and Mrs, Weiner " ent to
Fanquier White Sulphur Springs and CO.
lonial Beach together, he states that he
went to these places to join a pleasure
party, while Mrs. Weiner was there for
her health. She was taken ill and the
defendant treated her in professional
capacity
DR.. Gladmon alleges that years ago the
vulgar and obscene utterances of the plain
tiff dispelled the glamor which enveloped
him in 1884. Plaintiffs persistent espion
age through keyholes and registers, he
says, years ago caused him to cease all
Communications with her.
He further states that the conduct Of
plaintiff and her consorting for years with
spiritualists more or less disreputable has
changed his conduct and feelings and
forced him to live apart from the plaintiff.

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.

FBginrerS Must Not Pass Crossings
Unless Gates Are Down.
The attorney for the District, who last
Friday was directed b Y the Commissioners
70 draft d regulation, having for its
object the prevention OF railroad cross
ing accidents, rendered his report yester
day Tie proposes that section 81, article
x, of the police regulations, referring
20 railroad crossings, be amended To read
a. follows:
Sec. 81. That 1t shall be the duty of any
raHrOad company owning or operating a
railroad upon which locomotives and cars
are run, occupying any road, street, avenue
or pubic way within the District OF CO.
lumuia, to erect, maintain aud cause TO be
operated safety gates across every such
road, street, avenue or public way as ma J
be designated by the Commissioners OF the
District OF Columbia, al the expense or the
Company so EsiDg such road, street, ave
nue or public way aforesaid; that dur
ing the entire day and night each of the
SAID gates shall be in charge OF a com
petent person, employed by the railroad
company, who shall keep such gates
closed while any locomotive or steam
railway ears are occupying or crossing
such road, street, avenue or public
way at which such gates are erected
And il shall be unlawful for the engineer
In charge Of any locomotive, or the con
doctor IN charge of any train, TO cross
any road, street, avenue OF public way,
provided with safety gates as aforesaid,
except in obedience to a signal by the
gaueman that the gates are closed SO as
TO prevent access to the track from the
highway including tue foot walks And Il

cars, single railroad car or locomotive, at
any crossing where safety gates are pro
yided, to lower the gates and signal the
engineer or conductor in charge OF such
tram. car or locomotive that the gates are
closed.
1t viii be seen from this that Mr.. Thomas
believes the only way % fasten the re
Epondbllity in case of accidents is q
Prohibit the engineer from passing q cross

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
AID that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in famed con
dltion OF the mucous lining of the
EUstachian Tube. When this tube is
intla med you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when IL is en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken ont and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

His head and body were a rf1ass

several times its natural size; to add to-
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also

spared that we thought would relieve
him, but he grew worse until his condi-
ton was indeed pitiable. A dozen blood

Judge DoughertY of Santa Rosa Renders
an 0p mon on the New Enact


SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 9.-Superior
Judge Dougherty of Sonoma County has
written letter to DR.. A. Z. Osborne, the
physician in charge of the Home for
Feeble-minded at Glen Ellen, containing
an opinion of much importance to this
and other counties. Judge Dougherty had
been requested to recommit all of the
children sent by him to the Glen Ellen
institution, thereby making this county
liable for $40 a month for each under the
act of March 81, 1897.
Judge Dougherty holds that the a ct has
no application to children sent to the
home because they were feeble minded
or imbeciles, but is limited to an entirely
different class. The act authorizes the
admission OF new classes designated as
idiots, epileptics and mentally enfee bIed
paralytics, irrespective of age, and for this
class $40 a month must be paid. The con-
clusion OF Judge Dougherty's letter is q:
follows:
My construction of section 5 is that the
words 'For all other cases" is meant for al
other cases OF idiots, epileptics and feeble
minded paralyticS who are not under life
tenure. self-supPorting, or those who have al
ready paid for their support. If any such
have been committed by me will take steps
10 recommlt them; yet have no recollection
OF committing any belonging to the new class
This view of the case, if carried out, will
save this county fully $500 month.
