Mr.. Chas. NJ. Kerr. of Kerr 3
Station, and on whose life an at
tempt was made by an assassin.
mention of which has heretofore
been made in this paper, was up
to this city yesterday calling on
officers Smith and Monroe. who
had kindly responded to the call
for their blood hounds on the
night that he was shot. to thank
them and reward them for their
kindness. Mr.. Kerr greatly ap-
preciated the efforts of our officers
who, with their dogs. tried to
run down the assassin. and felt
satisfied that if they had had a
good starting point, and their own
way about it, they would have run
down the assassin.

KASI<EL's ANSWER FILED.
His Objection Not to Divorce, But
to the Charges She Makes.

There was little or no business In the
courts yesterday. Judge Norwood's court
was not in session, and Judge Falligant
was in Darien on court business. Though
Judge Ferrill was on band transactions in
the court of ordinary were lacking.
An answer was filed in the superior
court in the divorce suit of Hannah Kas-
KEEL against Edward Kaskel. In his on
swer the defendant denies the charges
which have been brought against him by
his wife, ana says there was no we'll
grounded apprehension, as claimed. which
caused her to cease 10 live with him
though he says, she has ceased to live
with him.
The defendant states that he does not
object to a divorce being granted for he
does not feel that he possesses the affec-
ton of his wife, nor did he think ne pos
sessed 1t when he married her. For this
reason, he does not insist upon her re-
naming his wife, and is willing that she
should have divorce, but he objects 10
the charges made by her going on the rec
ord of the court, since he claims they ere
false.
