DIVORCE COMPLAINTS.
Hack Driver Lake Morrison Sued
Mrs. Stcry's Charges.

Elizabeth M. Morrison yesterday filed suit
for divorce from Lake b. Morrison we'll
known hack driver. Her chief allegation
against Morrison is that he forced her to
clean and wash his hack and care for the
horses and harness, and that while she was
busy with these little tasks her lord and
master would help himself to her jewelry
and other personal effects and carry them
to the 'hock shop She accuses him of
using vile language. of constantly cursing
and swearing at her. and of making frequent
demands for money. When she could not
supply him with spending money. she says,
he would curse her. The two have not lived
together since May, 1893. She alleges that
her husbands business brings him from $25
to $50 week and that he does nothing for
her support. She asks that her maiden
name of Elizabeth M. Cosner be restored.
that she be given $500 alimony,. and that
Morrison be ordered to pay 500 for her at
torney'S fee.
Agnes Story yesterday applied for di-
vorce from Lincoln Story. They were mar
ried in January, 1899 at Evansville, and
lived together until July, 1895, at which time,
she says, he abandoned her without cause.
She alleges the usual 'cruel and inhuman
treatment on the part of her husband, and
that he abused her because she was mem
Der of the Roman Catholic Church, accus-
and confessor. Her husband, she says. has
contributed nothing to her support for the
past two years, and she has been compelled
TO earn her own living. She alleges that at
the time of their marriage she owned forty
acres of land which her husband induced her
to sell and turn the proceeds over to him.
She says he has never returned a cent of
the money. She asks for $1,000 alimony.

scaIpers Aroused.

The efforts of the Central Passenger AS
ISOLATION to have the city authorities take
steps to prevent the scalping of tickets at
Indianapolis on the occasion of the knights
of Pythias encampment and the meeting of
the National League of Wheelmen has con-
siderably disturbed the local scalping
fraternity. They would like to have an
ordinance passed that would keep out the
transient ticket scalpers, who remain but a
few days and get the cream of the business,
but the best legal authority says that THIS
cannot be done. One of the local scalpers
said yesterday that but for these coming en-
campments after May ! there would have
been but one ticket scalping office IN IN IN
danapolis so seriously has the use or the
interchangeable mileage book cut into thelr
business. This man added that ne Would
not be able to continue business were It not
that he represents roads that pay him a
commission in tickets Sold. and in selllng
them he is complying with the laws OF
Indiana in the matter and not violating the
anti-scalping law of the State. which for
want of enforcement, has been a dead letter
for several years. The scalpers express
confidence that the city authorities will 90 %
nothing in this matter, even IL they coulo
legally, owing to the fact that the labor
unions are opposing the passage OF the anu
ScaIninQ law.

Colts Lose Their First.

LOUISVILLE, April 2O-The chilly
weather seemed to give the Colonies a new
lease of life to-day, for they batted timely
and their fielding was magnificent. Magee' s
wildness in the ninth, together with Hoy's
error gave the Colts three runs. Bill

csion of Umpirea Gushman in the seventh

The Proposed Tax ON Tickets.

Passenger officials of the loads centering
in Chicago are divided on the question
whether the railroads or the purchaser OF
tickets should pay the tax to be imposed
by the government in case of war. Sorae are
of opinion that The maximum rate in erect
in some States will prevent them adding
anything to the present price of tickets and
others say the increase will not be an in
crease in price of the tickets. but will be
the tax and that the government ard the
passengers can settle the matter between
then, and as far as state laws ON the sub
iect of maximum rates are concerned the
law from the government will take prece-
dence over any enactment by state legiSia-
lures. Another question is whether the tax
will be made to cover all fares paid for
transportation or simply tickets sold. If the
latter construction is to rule the roads say
they will sell very few tickets over the
counter and that nine out of ten passengers
will pay their fare on the trains in order
to avoid the tax which would be imposed
upon them if they bought their tickets out
right at the regular offices.
