sHELLHoUsE DIVORCE CASE.
Court Declines to Issue the Decree
Story of the Trouble.

Story of the Trouble.
In Room 2, Superior Court, yesterday
Judge Harvey denied the decree of divorce
in the suit of William s. against Adele
Shellhouse. The latter had filed a cross
complaint asking for divorce, and this was
also denied. The Shellhouse family resides
at Ohio and Alabama streets, where She'll
house is engaged in the grocery business.
One cause for dissension in the household
seems to have been the house cat, which
the plaintiff claimed his wife insisted on
taking to bed with her. He said this was
very annoying. In her testimony Mrs. She'll
house declared that her husband was also
very fond of the cat. Once when it disap-
peared, she said, he offered a reward of 81
for its return. Judge Harvey, after hear
ing the evidence on both sides, said he could
not see his way clear to grant a divorce
He advised the pair to try and make up
their differences and live together Before
leaving the courtroom Mrs. Shellhouse said
to the court that she would do her part
toward a reconciliation if her husband was
disposed to meet her half way.

FIREMEs,s PAY.
Question Is Likely to Come Up in the
Council Monday Night.


The feeling grows stronger that the ques-
ton of firemen's pay will show itself in the
Council at the. meeting Monday night 1t
was stated yesterday that at the caucus of
Democratic members of the Council the
night before the members had been warmly
divided. This information came from a DEM
ocratic member. He stated that the firemen
had been using all their influence with the
various councilmen to get a resolution
adopted in the Council that the reduction
III the firemens pay should not be exacted.
Several of the members in the caucus
state that if the officials founder much
more In official matters it will give the pub
lie poor" opinion of the ability of the
administration to handle the citys affairs
Others think that if the preceding view of
the matter is taken the administration is
between the devil and the deep sea- for
the firemen and their friends will be walt
ing at the polls next time with long, sharp
knives in their hands unless they are re-
lieved of the cut in their wages.
