Southern City.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Evidence of gay doings in the South was
submitted to Justice Beach of the SD
preme Court in the Bucki divorce case
yesterday, and the justice granted an alb
solute divorce in favor of Hattie Bucli
against her husband, Charles L. Bucki
AS he is wealthy, he was ordered to pay
her $3.50 year.
Mrs. Bucki, in her complaint, alleged
that her husband, who was the president
of the Bucki Pine and Lumber Company
of Florida was guilty of infideity John
Fitzpatrick, a colored valet employed by
Bucki while he lived in Jacksonville, was
called upon to prove the assertion. He
testified that Mrs. Bucki went to visit
her friends in New York, and soon after
her departure from Jacksonville Mrs.
Kate Lawlor came to the house and as
sumed the name of Mrs. Bucki. Kilpat-
rick said he had given up being a serv-
ant, and had become minister. He now
has charge of a Methodist congregation
in Jacksonville.
An affidavit then was read. which stated
that Kate A Bucki, otherwise Kate A.
Lawlor, first met Bucki in Central Park,
in this city, in 1891. At his request she
went to Jacksonville in 1898. She after
ward went back to Buffalo, where her
husband lived. Bucki wrote letters to her,
one of which her husband intercepted,
and he brought a suit for divorce, in which
he succeeded She went back to Jackson
VILE with Bucki, then returned 10 Buffalo,
and later he paid for her board and at
tendance in ST. Nincents Hospital in
this city. Then she was taken to Belle
vue, because he refused TO pay for her
support 1t was acknowledged that she
was to receive money for coming here as
a witness.
Dispositions taken in Jacksonville were
read, describing a high carnival that took
place in the defendants rooms in Bay
street in the fall of 1895. Bucki and an
other man and two actresses from the
CRYSTAL Theater were the principals in the
wild revel. The dancing and an impromptu
boxing match, in which the principals APP
reared TO the gaze Of the pubic in scanty
attire were described in the depositious.
One deposition was by a former Mayor
and City Judge of Jacksonville, who said:
THE scene was such thar ] called the
attention of a policeman to 1t, and told
him that it must be stopped
Louis r. Hammerslough, brother-in-
law of the plaintiff said that in 1892 the
defendant told him he was worth about
$500 600, and that his yearly income was
about $4,000. Bucki told him that he
owned the house in Seventy-ninth street
in which he lived and that it was worth
$4,000 and the furnishings 10000.

light enough to sustain the smaller crop

any weakness on the part of holders. The
factors create so much uncertainty as to
