The Savage Divorce Suit.

Ex-Mayor W. K. Savage's attorneys
have filed a demurrer in the district
court to Mrs. Savage's petition for d.
vorce. asking the court to strike out
that portion OF the plaintiffs petition
wherein the defendant is accused Of
frequec ting bawdy houses, assOciating
with tOughs, ETC.. snd refusing to pay
or give her money to pay for necessary
washing, ironing and other things,
for the reason that such charges are
untrue, Incompetent, irrelevant, i'm
material and designed tc prejudice
the court or jury against the defend
ant, and for the farther reason that
they are not good grounds for a
divorce.
The defendant promises, in the
event of the striking out OF such pOr-
tions of said petition, to answer the
remaining charges. 1t begins to
look like there is going to be a stub
born fight 10 court over the suit.
Mr.. Savage has employed II. L.
Woods and James Lawrence to assist
Mr.. Elliott in the case. The defend.
ants attorneys are said to have
armed themselves with an array OF
affidavits very damaging TO the plain
tiff's character, and are otherwise
prepared to contest the suit bitterly.

Col. Casson and the Census.

The Milwaukee SentinePs correspond
emit writing from Washington under date
of February II, says; There is consid-
cradle activity here over the appoint
ment of superintendent of the census
under the bill now pending in congress.
Col. Casson is still here and his friends
are putting up a good fight for him
The president being out of the city
nothing can be learned as to the status
of the matter, but Senator Spooner is
taking an active interest in the candi-
dacy of Col. Casson and will see the
president on the subject at the first op-
portunity. The Michigan congressional
delegation is giving active support to
the candidacy of Col. Casson, and the
members of that delegation have arranged
to call in body upon the president to
urge the colone's appointment in addi-
ton to the Wisconsin congressional
delegation. Col. Casson has the en-
dorsement of the republican congress
sional committee and the joint endorse
ment of members from the states OF
Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana
and Kansas. There is no doubt that
Col. Casson's friends are making a
strong effort in his behalf and he will
have excellent endorsements from many
sections.
