TWO SEEK DIVORCE.
Cruelty Alleged by One Wife and
Desertion by the Other.

Two suits were instituted yesterday in
the equity courts of the District by wives
asking legal separations from their hus-
bands. In one instance absolute divorce is
prayed for and In the other divorce from
bed and board and separate maintenance
Is asked.
In the latter case the petitioner is Mrs.
Catherine Darlington. who states in her
complaint that she has taken this step at-
ter years of suffering which has resulted
from the cruel and inhuman treatment she
has received at the hands OF her husband
Thomas Babbington, who is. she says, q
saioonkeeper in this city. She states that
her husband has repeatedly assaulted her
IN q most violent manner, infiicting prob
ably permanent injury. He has, she also
states. often threatened to take her life.
Mrs. darlington says she was married
20 the defendant in June, 1889, and that
three children were born to them. Soon
after their marriage. she states, her hus-
band began TO treat her with systematic
cruelty. On this account, she says, she has
often been compelled TO leave her husband
for safety and her children, and On one oc-
casion his treatment was so harsh that
she was obliged TO have him arrested and
bound over to keep the peace. AS the re-
suit OF her husbands many assaults upoE

TO the good character OF the defendant were
submitted in evidence and il was argued that, as
the offence charged the first of its kind
of which Pulley has been guilty, the court be

that, while he took into consideration what had
been said in the interest OF the defendant he
could not lose sight of the fact that larceny
had been committed, and that the offence should
be punished. a fine OF $50 was imposed and paid

which she will carry to the grave.
In the other case MIS-. Osie A. Wright
asks for absolute divorce from her husband,
James II. Wright, whom she states has
deserted her and left her without any
means Of support. Mrs. Wright states that
she was married to the defendant in New
Castle, Va, in 1887, and that soon after
ward they came TO this city to live. AL
though, she claims. she has been faithful
and affectionate wife, her husband deserted
her on June go 1897, and has refused to re-
turn and live with her. She also states
