down by the appellate court this morn
ing i'm the case of n. G.. Carpenter vs..
Phenix Electric Light Company: Per
Curian. The court is of the opinion
that the demurrer should he overruietf.

the Judgment, on which the execution
is sought TO be enjoined. the fact of the
attachment OF the funds in his hands.
il was not a negligence injurious TO the
respondent. The equity OF the Dill ap-
pears i'm the payment of the respond
ents debt by the complainant, on exc
cution against him as garnishee, and
the receipt by the respondent OF part
OF the money so paid. These allega-
tions. If proved, would amount to
satisfaction OF the respondents judg-
ment against the complainant, IN
whole or in part, and hence are sufii-
cient ground for relief.

After the Death Of Mrs. Robbins First Hus-
handTheJ Met and Were Welded.
ROBBINS ASKED A LOAN OF s25OO.
When This Was Refused Ris Feelings Toward Her
Changed Told Her She Must Make Her
Cxn Plans and Count Fin Out

There was bit OF romance about
the marriage of Julia r. B. Robbins
and Theodore p. Robbins that was not
much dwelt upon at the hearing OF
Mrs. Robbins petition for a divorce in
the appellate court today. There was
reason for keeping il i'm the background
for the most unpleasant thing IN life is
the failure To realize ideals.
MIR. and Mrs. Robbins were born i'm
Harwich, Mass. The family name OF
Mrs. Robbins was Chase and she and
her husband were friends years before
they married. Miss Chase was in early
life married 10 "A man named Warren
and went To live i'm Fall River Mr..
Robbins went 60 live i'm Boston After
the death of her first husband Mrs.
Robbins. or az she WAS then Mrs. War
rem had money. There was meeting
between her and Robbins after years
of separation and the two one time
residents of the old Massachusetts
town were married. The romantic part
of the affair ceased there for Mrs. Rob-
bins now claims that Robbins married
her for her money. Robbins was at the
time of his marriage commission
merchant.
Mrs. Robbins alleged in her divorce
petition that ever since October. 1896.
her husband had failed to contribute
anything to her support Her deposit
tion recited that she came TO this state
in December. 1886. and had since kept
house i'm East Providence supporting
herself by the rents from her property
and by teaching school a part OF the
time. There was TO have been a con-
test of the petition, but this morning
Mrs. Robbins gave up some things her
husband contended were his so his
| lawyer Franklin r. Owen withdrew as
counsel though he was present in court
during the hearing.
The court desired To question Mrs.
Robbins more particularly as TO her
residence here so she was sworn. She
said she had no relatives in Boston,
where her husband took her after her
marriage but that she did have a
| brother in Fall River. while she had
| cousins and other relations in East
| Providence. At the time she came here
| she had no intention of applying for ~
| divorce. In October, 1896. she testified
| her husband told her she must make
| her own plans and count him out. Up
| to that time Mr.. Robbins had paid the
| house rent once the respondent had
| asked her for $2500 TO go into the gro
! Gerry business and when she refused the
money his feelings toward her chang
! ed.
Mrs. Robbins was given n divorce
and i'm order that the last thread by
which the romance hung might be
| cut she was given leave TO drop the
name of Robbins and resume former
name +. c. Pierce was her counsel.
