TRIED TO CARVE HER
Mrs. Jones Accuses Husband
of Using Pocket Knife.
SUES HIM FOR DIVORCE
Sensational Petition Filed in
District Court

Daisy Jones. wife of Geo. P. Jones. 6
clerk at the Golden Eagle. has sued hel
husband for divorce, the petition having
been filed in the district court yesterday
by Blake & Ayers, her attorneys. The
allegations in Mrs. Jones petition are OF
very sensational nature bringing out as
fisticuffs since the month of May, 1897.
The last trouble Mr.. and Mrs. Jones had
occurred last Saturday evening, when she
alleges that her husband grabbed her and
held her while he took his pocket knife
and threatened to cut her throat. She
states that Mr.. Jones continued his
threats and demonstrations until the
neighbors ran in and stopped the trouble.
1t is said that this quarrel is the most
serious one which they have ever had.
Attorney ]. v. Dougherty, DR.. Purdue
and others are said to have been wit
nesses to some Of the trouble. and sue
ceeded in stopping II. Mr.. Jones is alleged
to have said that his wife drew a knife
on him. After this Mr.. Jones left the
house and has not since returned to II,
and Mrs. Jones states in the petition that
he refuses to live with her or provide for
the family. She says that her husband
has had no provocation to treat her as
he has. Among other troubles alleged be-
tween them was in May, 1887, when she
alleges that he struck her in the head
and face with his fists and used abusive
language toward her; again on January
u, 1893, when he struck her on the head
and arm with his fists and called her a
dirty dog; again on July 10. when he
struck her with his fists.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones were married in
Butler, Mo-. in 1887, and as a result of the
marriage they have been given three
children, George, Charles and DON, the
latter being only about IS months old.
Mrs. Jones sues for the custody of these
children. She further asks for the house
hold goods, a temporary alimony of $40
per week, $50 suit money and absolute
divorce from her husband. She says her
husband makes about SO per month as
clerk at the Golden Eagle. Mrs. Jones
has further applied for an order restrain
ing her husband from disposing of the
household goods and other effects now at
the place Of residence, 1863 North To-
peka avenue.

REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Money, Exchange, Bonds, Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

New York, January "a persistent
and general demand prevailed through
out the list and on an enormous vol
ume OF trading there were many final
advances of l to points, while stand
ard stocks generally were up fractional
~. Influenced in part by Saturdays
favorable bank statement, there were
more buying than selling orders ac-
cumulated by commission houses over
Sunday. London, while moving largely
with quotations here, was seller on
balance, but it developed later that on
the curb n very large demand spranS
up for Americans after business hours.

tfeme gain of points. were said 10 be
largely for very powerful interests ana
their allies. The stock made high

Il number of vague rumorS connected
with Sugar, but nothing definite. The
stock, however. made an extreme gain
of AZ points. Glucose Sugar Refinery

on the revival of the oft rumored deal
between those properties. while the
former was also aided by Il favorable
traffic statement Good earnings were
likewise responsible for 4 rise in North

Southern Railway preferred were said
to be partly on he theory that the COM
pany would gain control of the Sea-
board Air Line.
The dealings in stocks, which exceed
ed n million by over a hundred thou
sand. were the largest in the present
