NO GROUND FOR DIVORCE.
Mrs. Clouds Failing Was Talking Too
Much.

Minnie H. Schulmeyer brought an action
for divorce yesterday from Louis n. Schul"
meyer to whom she was married in April,
1893. They separated on Nov. 10, 1898. The
plaintiff complains that her husband beat
and struck her when she asked that reason
able provision be made for her maintenance.
Divorces We're granted in the county
court yesterday as follows: Florence 3.
from George Eaton, Hattie Branks from
Robert Branks, Lottie r. Miller from
Charles S. Miller, Harvey g. Alsman from
Judge Allen declined to grant divorce
in the suit brought by Henry f.. Cloud
against Mary J. Cloud. The latter was on
the witness stand for an hour or more, and
after she had concluded her story the court
said he thought he understood the case
thoroughly. He remarked that about the
only thing of a serious nature that could
be charged against Mrs. Cloud was that
she talked too much, and he did not be-
lieve this ground for divorce. The court
said it was plain that Mrs. Cloud was
woman of nervous and excitable tempera-
ment, but this was an affiiction which she
could not be held responsible for. Cloud
and his wife are elderly people and have
two daughters. Judge Allen talked TO the
younger of these girls, and urged her to be
kind TO her mother, who he believed, was
a good woman. He urged the girl to take
the mothers advice in all things, and she
would never make a mistake. The court
said the case was a sad one to him. and ne
could not find it in his heart to grant di-
VOrca.

In Behalf of DR.. HnsIep.

The Woman's Council has for some time
been urging the County Commissioners to
employ woman physician whose duties it
would be to attend the female patients at
the different county institutions. This
would include the jail, workhouse and coun-
ty asylum. Yesterday the commissioners re-
ceived a communication from the Woman's
Council, requesting that DR.. Marie Haslep
be appointed to the place. An editorial
clipping from the Journal accompanied the
communication. The editorial was printed
some time ago, and spoke favorably of the
plan proposed to have the unfortunate
women at the county institutions attended
by doctor of their own sex when i'll. In
urging the appointment of DR.. Haslep. the
communication spoke of her high standing
as a physician. She was the first woman
physician ever appointed for the Indiana
Reform School for Girls. She gave up that
place to go to China. where for seven years
she was in charge of hospital for women
and girls. She is now consulting doctor for
the Reform School for Girls and Home for
Friendless Women.

\ EDUCATIONAL.
TAINTED THE LAD.
Henry Long Retaliated by Stabbing
Butcher O'COnnOr.

Henry Long, an eighteen-year old boy
employed at Kingan & Co.'S packing house,
stabbed Dan O'Connor, a butcher, yester-
day afternoon while both were at work.
O'Connor, according to the story told by
the police, has for some time past had
dislike for the Long boy. and lost no OPP
portunity of insulting him wherever they
were together. Yesterday while the boy
was working near O'Connor the latter called
him jail-bird. and reminded him that his
brother was serving a sentence in prison.
The boy made no retort for some time, hut
finally lost his t. nper under repeated taunts
and struck at OConnor, who retaliated by
clutching his young assailant by the neck
and nearly strangling him. Long, how
ever, managed to reach steel used by the
butchers in sharpening their knives. and
plunged it into OConnor's left side, sew
eral inches below the heart. O'Connor at
once sank to the floor and bled profusey
until the arrival of Dr. Eisen5eiss, who,
after dressing his wound, sent him TO lis
home, 113 South California street. bicycle
PatrOlmen Holtz and Wallace Icing called
to the scene of the trouble, placed yCunS
Long under arrest. He was, however, re-
leased on bond as soon as ne reached the
police station. His mother, hearing OF the
trouble, and knowing of the grievance her
son had against O'Connor went to the
home of the latter to ascertain to what e&-
tent he had been injured ard in the course
OF the interview became so incensed that
she struck OConnOr in the face as he lay
in bed. She at once went to police head
quarters and gave herself up but the Off
GERS refused to lock her I'D in the absence
of a warrant.
O'Connor was not so seriously injured as
to prevent him being on the street last
night, and Ii is thought The matter viii be
dropped by both sides.

A VERY LENIENT COURT
ROBERT FINN. WHO ASSAULTED A
WOMAN, LET OFF LIGHTLY.
McCray Gives Him a New Trial After
Sentencing Him to the
Penitentiary.

In the Criminal Court, yesterday, Robert
Finn, a young white man. who was con-
victed several months ago on the charge
Of criminal assault was granted a new
trial. Finn then pleaded guilty to plain
assault and battery and Judge McCray
fined him $40 and sentenced him to the
workhouse for six months. In the former
trial of the case Finn was sentenced to the
state prison for a term of not less than
two nor more than fourteen years. The
prosecuting witness was q young woman
living on North Meridian street, in the
neighborhood of old Twenty-sixth street.
The story related by the girl was to the
effect that Finn assaulted her one night
while she was on her way home from the
Union Station She had gone there with
friend who was going away, and started
home about 10 O'clock She took a North
Illinois-street car, getting off near Crown
Hill Cemetery. Finn was on the car and
alighted at the same place. She started
east in the direction of her home and Finn
followed her. She was unaware of this,
however, until she felt herself in his
grasp She struggled to get away from
him, but he was strong and she was weak
from fright. AT length she screamed loudly
and Finn left her. There happened to be

which Firms attorney announced would be
filed. This motion was passed on yester-
day.
Finn has always claimed he was innocent
of any attempt TO harm the girl. He told
Jailer Chapman yesterday a very different
story from that related by the prosecut-
ing witness. He said he first saw the girl
that night at the Park Theater and her
appearance attracted him. After the the
alter he waited for her at Illinois and
Washington street and she made no objec-
ton to his offer to accompany her nome
He did not make clear to the jailer just
why the girl screamed and why he ran
away when she began calling for help.

THE SHOWER OF METEORS.
May Come Tonight, TO-MOrrOw or
Tuesday Night.

The November shower of meteors will be
looked for tonight, tomorrow night and
Tuesday night. The date, as nearly as has
been accurately fixed, is Nov. IA, but there
is enough uncertainty to require close
watching. John c. Dean, who is a student
of astronomy, said that near midnight Mon
day would probably be the time for the
most brilliant display
1.-THE point from which the meteors ap-
pear to radiate," said Mr.. Dean, yesterday,
sis in the cycle of the constellation of Leo,
and this constellation rises at about 1880
o'clock on that night. Before that time the
meteors will be shooting upward in the
eastern sky. The doubt concerning the time
for the greatest brilliancy is caused by the
fact that the stream Of meteors is divided
into small streams and at the proper time
in the night the earth might be between the
streams, and thus receive only the few scat
tered particles. There is great deal of I'M
certainty among the best astronomers con-
corning the exact time. OF course the dis
play of next year will be a great deal more
beautiful. 1t is said that in the shower of
1888 there was no space in the sky as large
as the diameter of the moon but had shoot
ing stars in it,
These November showers" continued Mr..
Dean, ARE entirely harmless. Very few of
the particles have ever struck the earth.
The larger pieces have nearly always fallen
at some other period. The particles are so
small that the contact with the atmosphere
Immediately causes them TO fash into vapor.
However small the particles are, they still
have weight. From so to 80 per cent. is iron.
About the only element in the meteor be-
sides the iron is nickel, Of which the pro-
portion is generally quite small.
Il regard all theories which advocate that
the world will be struck and its form
changed by some immense solid part of a
comet or meteor as a sensational statement
and of slight importance. The possibility has
been considered by nearly all the leading
astronomers. ana most of them acknowledge
that the effects of such an accident or event
would be terrible and might destroy all
human life, but / have failed TO find any
scientists of the first class who believes for
a moment that this is probable within a
few centuries"
DIR. ]. r. Boyd, who is an advocate of the
theory that the earth will collide with the
solid head of the stream of meteorS next
year, said that he believes the most bril-
liant part of the shower will be visible at
/ or 9 O'Clock tonight. He said that there
was some uncertainty IN connection with
the calculations relating 70 the time. he
said that there is some conflict among scien-
fists in regard to the size of the shower.
some think that ii will be much larger than
is usual in the years of the past, with the
execution of the periodic shower occurring
every thirty-three years. DR.. Boyd said that
the earth will only pass through the border
surrounding the head of the nucleus, and
therefore ne believes the fall will be COM
paratively small.

Franklin A. Williams, Edward w. Bray
and Lawson B. Hughes, who compose the
firm which manufactures the Bray Ideal
bicycle saddle, brought a suit for damages
yesterday against the Keyless Lock Com
pany The plaintiffs set out the allegation
that they contracted with the Keyless Lock
Company to furnish certain appliances
necessary in the manufacture of the Ideal
saddle. The work was to be done by July
last, it is claimed. the plaintiffs particu-
larly desiring it then so that the saddle
could be advertised among the bicycle men
who would come to the city. 1t is charged
that only part of the work was completed
by July 4. and that the contract was not
filled up to the time of the national bicycle
meet held here in August. The plaintiffs
say they have been the losers by this fail
ure to comply with the terms of the con-
tract and they ask that the Keyless Lock
Company be required to pay damages.
