Another CHAPTER in ColOrs.

On Thursday last Mrs. Sadie Steel
smith Braun, in response to a rule filed,
an affidavit charging her husband, W.
F. Braun. with being criminally init
mate with girl named Alberta Black
in Pittsburg, and also with being un-
kind to her, refusing her money, etc.
This was answered by Mr.. Braun, in
an affidavit filed Monday afternoon de
nying the new charges and alleging
that Mrs Braun and Mr.. Blue roomed
together at Braun's house during his
absence about November, 1897, and at
one time Blue came to the house about
o o'clock in the evening and remained
until o'clock the next morning.
1t is averred that Mrs. Braun rented a
furnished room to Elmer G. Blue during
her husbands absence; that when he
learned of the matter he compelled
Blue to vacate, and on returning home
from his business, which kept him away
a good part of the time he found his
house closed about February y, 1898,
and the libellant gone, taking with her
their only child. On inquiry he found
that she was living in Chicago with
Nettie Hickman. a sister of Blue, under
the name of Mrs. Sadie Steelsmith,
which he claims to be able to show was
under an arrangement with Blue. 1t
is claimed that Blue and Mrs. Braun
We're frequently together here. bicycle
riding, buggy riding, at skating rlnks
and various other places.
Braun says that reconciliation which
was effected was not sincere, but was
the result of a conspiracy to effect a
condonation of the conduct between the
libellant and Blue He then speaks of
his wlfe's language and actions as car
rying out this conspiracy. He says
that when his wife left him it was the
understanding that the divorce would
be secured without scandal, notoriety
or reproach to either of them. He al
leges that perjury was committed in
support Of some of the charges made by
witnesses, whose board is now being
paid at hotels in Pittsburg.
One of Wednesdays Pittsburg papers
contained a copy of letter said to have
been written by Mrs. Braun to Mr.
Blue, and coming to Butler on the
train that day Steelsmith assaulted
Braun and threatened to shoot him II
he forced the production of the letters
in question, for which action Braun
made information, and Steelsmith gave
bail for Sept 7 The divorce case is
on the trial list for tomorrow.

FIRES.

Last Thursday night fire destroyed a
small unoccupied house owned by John
Cress on West Penn st. The loss was
about $3.50. The neighbors say the fire
started under the rear end of the house
and express belief that some one set it
on fire. Considering the cool, wet
weather we have had lately this is a
PLAUSIBLE theory. Scarce month be-
fore this the w. H. Morris house on W.
Pearl St also unoccupied and not more
than one hundred yards from the Cress
house, was also burned. Neighbors said
they saw boys leaving this house less
than an hour before the fire broke out.
No doubt the "arsonites" who ought
to be in the penitentiary or the reform
school, according to their age-will soon
attempt to bnrn the whole town unless
gathered into the paternal embraces of
the law.
*#*
Another source of comment in con-
nection with the Cress fire was the fact
that our fire laddies dragged their sew
eral carts mile-more than that for
the South Side boys-to the fire. A
good part CT this was over streets very
muddy from the late rains and it is safe
to assert that the damage to clothing
was as much as that to the hou Sc.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE. PITTSBURG.
The week of speeches and flowers"
is the pretty and significant phrase
used to indicate the last week of the
season at the Pittsburg Grand Opera
House. 1t is so called because the
thousands of admirers of the famous
stock company located at that house
make a point of attending as many of
the performances as possible, and of call
ing upon the individual members of the
company for speeches. This gives
them all an opportunity to personally
address the audiences, thanking the
public for attentions shown them dur
ing the season. Almost every lady
present has her particular favorltes in
the company, and they come prepared
with punches of flowers which they
send back to the dressing rooms or
through over the footlights
