LYMAN MOWRY WAS CRUEL.
His Wife Granted an Absolute
Decree of Divorce.

Elizabeth Mowry was awarded the de-
cree of divorce in her suit against her
husband, Lyman l. Mowry, the attorney,
by Judge Trout yesterday on the ground
of extreme cruelty. The parties were mar
ried in San Jose twelve years ago. They
moved to this city and took up their resi-
dence at 316 Haight street, where the acts
of cruelty commenced. One of the chief
causes of complaint as stated In the court
by Mrs. Mowry, was her husbands con-
slant habit Of smoking cigars alleged to
be of the Chinatown variety. His business
for many years was derived from Chinese
merchants and companies. =
Mrs. Mowry testified that she was q
professional singer, and that her husband
would come into her bedroom at all hours
of the night and smoke the noxiOus weed
until her eyes were sore and her throat
affected. She had entreated him to cease
the Objectionable practice, but without
avail. When she demonstrated with him
she was assailed with profane epithets.
Mowry kept up the same course of con-
duct at 17l9 Oak street, and at the Berk-
shire. His wife says that she was COM
PEELED to go to restaurants, as he was alb
sent so often that she was ashamed to go
into the diningroOm for fear of comment
Mrs. Mowry also said that her husband
they lived together, and his conduct made
pacitated from engaging in her profession.
Her husband also abused her when he
was in liquor. Her testimony was cor
roborated by Mrs. NJ II. Lewis and Mrs.
Virginia Harden, and she was given a de-

Golden Gate Park Driving AS
sociation Will Promote a
Big Race Meet.

The fall race meeting of the Golden
Gate Park Driving Association will be
held at Ingleside track on the 2lst inst.
The track will be prepared especially for
the trotters and it is expected the success
of the spring meeting will be duplicated:
Entries will close next Tuesday, ar
which time the various horses entered
will be classified. A committee passes
upon the speed of the horses and decides
where each one is entitled to start. Inc
choice bits of the programme Will be a
double team race and the second contest
for the Frank G. O'Kane trophy Ihis
Is held by j. c. Ohlandt, who won 1t at
the Oakland meeting.
At a meeting in the rooms of the asso-
citation in the Palace Hotel last night
Charles f. Kapp suggested a new method
of running a race, which will be tried at
the forthcoming meeting. BY it's spon-
sors 1t is claimed that ii may revolution
lie trotting races. In brief it is this: If
a race has eight entries they are divided
into two heats of four horses each. The
winners of these heats meet to decide
the ownership of first and second money.
The six horses remaining then race for
third money This is expected to result
in genuine racing from start to finish. The
scheme has its defenders and detractors,
who will discuss 1t in all its phases at
their next meeting.

DUPONT STREET BONDS.
No Preference in Payment to Holders
of These Securities.

Albert Meyer brought mandamus pro-
ceedings against Treasurer A. c. Widber
to compel the latter to make payment on
Dupont-street bonds and coupons. The
case was taken to the Supreme Court
upon appeal by Meyer. The findings show
that when the demand was made there
was money to the credit of the bond and
coupon funds in the treasury. Widber
mands of Meyer. other holders of bonds
and coupons had made similar demands
and had been refused, which gave them a
preferred claim against the fund indefi-
nitely. The Supreme Court holds that
there is nothing in the Dupont-street act
which gives preference of payment to
any, as relating to the presentation of de-
mands.
Another point in the contest was that
at the time Meyer made his demand Ger
tain money had been deposited with the
ton Of this money was collected on ac-
count of the Dupont-street fund. but 1t
had never been segregated or placed to
the credit of the fund. The lower court
held that 1t was not applicable to Meyer 8
demand. Meyer claimed this was in
error. The question was whether this
money so deposited in sacks with the
Treasurer could be used by him for the
payment of Meyers bonds. The Supreme
Court held that this money was simply as
a quasi special deposit, and that the
at the demand of any one or at the ex-
pense OF any fund. The Judgment and
order Of the lower court was reversed
with direction to take further proceed
ings In accordance with the opinion rem
dered by the higher tribunal.
