Alleges That His Wife Olympia Has Been
GUILTY Of Grave Misconduct.
TESTIMONY OF THE PETITIONER.
He Said That Monsy For The Prosecution Of Tho
Divorce Cass Was Being furnished bya
0octor-Mrs. Sientos Statement.

EuGenio Silento declared to Judge
Rogers in the appellate court today
that he was will ing TO provide for his
three -year-old child but even il he had
the money, which he claimed he had
not. he would not support his wife.
Eugenio has filed petition FOR divorce
from his wife Olympia, alleging that
she has been guilty of grave miscon-
duct. Though ne claimed he had not
worked since last October, the petition
for divorce was filed on December ).
the money for the divorce being far
nished by doctor. Mrs. Silento told
the court that her husband could algo
get from the same source money to sup
port her pending the hearing on the p0-
tition.
Mrs. Silento said her husband was e
weaver and could make from sl4 to 81
week. A month ago she had to Civ
up work in order TO attend TO the Ill
vorce matter and since that time hsr
gone in debt for the support of hersei
and child.
What Mrs. Silento asked from the
court today was weekly allowance
for the support of herself and child,
and an allowance for counsel fees. She
told the court she wanted to keep her
child and was unwilling her husband
should put the child in an institution
or place it In charge of his sister.
The petitioner for the divorce told
the court he had tried hard to get work,
but had been unsuccessful. He would
do everything possible for the child, but
IL he had money he would do nothing
for his wife. nor would he go in debt
TO support her. These sentiments We're
more than once reiterated during the
examination. A brother-in-law OF the
petitioner testified that the latter had
not been able TO get profitable work
since last October.
Judge Rogers commented severely on
the statements made by Eugenio that
he would not support his Wife. even "
he had money and said Mrs Silento
would be granted an allowance ana
| counsel fees and If these were not paid
the petitioner might have considerable
trouble on his hands. The weekly al
| lowance was fixed at 81 and counsel fees
at SIS. The latter must be PAID by

solution of a poison mystery that has
puzzled Paterson, n. j., for six weeks.
In solving the mystery Professor
Baldwin. who is a well known chemist,
resorted 10 methods SO dangerous that
his own life nearly paid the forfeit of
his zeal.
Six persons were made dangerously
i'll by eating German pancakes in Pat
erson on December 20. One of them,
Adolf Naef "a man of superb physique,
died in agony. The tragedy occurred
at the boarding house of Mrs. Marie
Fischer. Murder was at once sus-
pected.
The police gave Naef's stomach to
Professor Baldwin for analysis. In his
investigation the chemist discovered
traces of "A peculiar poison. win the
police he made a search OF the house
and discovered i'm the kitchen box OF
Roach Sauet," an insect powder. This
was what the chemist wanted.
I'm order to be sure he took four
grains Of roach sauet" To observe its
effect. For two days he was sick and
IL is said that ne escaped Naefs fate by
"a hairs breadth.
Eut this theory was proved and il
became a simple matter 10 show that
Mary Lobe. the servant, had, by mis-
take. placed roach sauet" In the pam
cakes instead OF baking powder. The
cans containing the two powders are
very much alike.
Two weeks after the tragedy Freder-

Tischler house, was made sick in the

Death of DR.. Cameron.

DR.. Frank A. Cameron died in his
rooms at his office on East Main street
Sunday morning about two o'clock.
The death occurred under such pecu-
liar circumstances that coroner's jury
was called together by Coroner Loring
but the finding of the jury failed to give
more information than that the death
was the result of heart failure superin-
duced by great nervous excitement.
DR.. Cameron was torty-six years old
and graduate of the homeopathic de-
partment of the University of Michigan
He did not desire general practice,
however, but specialized in nervous
and chronic diseases, especially such
diseases as rheumatism and all
muscular troubles. He had been in
Owosso with his family for several
years when the latter left him to 60 to
Detroit where they have since lived.
Family cares have preyed on
his mind and greatly aged him
during the last year and during the last
few days they had come upon him with
redoubled fury. He complained of
being ill Friday night and Saturday
was raving much 'of the day. In the
evening he was quieted for time by a
friend who played and sung in his
room, but the strain had become too
great for body and mind and he lived

to the total amount of first class matter

OF this total amount mailed out from

greater part goes away by train, the ex-
act amount being 1861 lbs. 8 o., out

the equipment, mail sacks. pouches,

one half the total weight. or in other
words, the pouches themselves weigh

The supreme court is doing little else
these dsys than sustaining Auditor Gen.
eral Dix. Gen. Dix does not believe
in running his Office In rut but he is
careful to obey the law. Two weeks ago
he ran against Gov. Pingree on the soldiers
home appropriation. The supreme court
sustained him. Later he gave GU. that in
terest at the rate of ~ per cent must be
paid ON delinquent taxes. There was an
appeal and this week the supreme court
handed down another decision saying Dix
was right.-Benton Harbor News. Incl
dentally we might say that there are several
questions under discussion on which Gen.
Dix has taken what seems to be the right
side and it is hoped the courts will sustain
his view. The delinquent tax question has
always been vexing one and under the
present auditor it has been simplified and
made more nearly just and equitable than
ever before and the citizens at large are pay
ing less every year of the taxes of the tax
jumper.
