THREE POISON CASES.
Dispensary Physicians Kept Busy At
tending to Dependents.

City Dispensary physicians had three
calls last night for attendance upon poison
cases. The first was at $50 Virginia
avenue. Edward Bird. forty-eight years
of age, who lives with his family at that
number and is employed as travelling
salesman by S. Castro, the commission
merchant, took twenty grains of morphine
and at late hour this morning was yet
in a critical condition. Members of his
family claimed not to know the cause of
his taking so much morphine. He had,
they said, frequently used the drug in
small quantities for neuralgia. He came
home yesterday and after sitting about the
and got the morphine. Their first know
ledge of ii was when he became seriously
i'll.
The second call came from a saloon at
ga South Meridian street. A woman with
too much liquor became hysterical and
told those about the place she had taken
poison.
The third call was from rs South Capitol
avenue, place to which the Dispensary
doctors have been called three times dur
ing the last two months. They were un-
able to attend TO the case and other ply
sicians were secured Harry Jarrel, with an
abundance of liquor abroad, went home
and told the folks he had taken poison.
As he had several times taken morphine
and as his actions were rather strange,
his statement was believed and the doctors
were summoned. They said he was suffer-
ing from too much liquor; that he might
have taken little morphine but not
enough to affect him.

DIVORCE CRUSADE BEGUN
JUDGE CARTER WILL TRY TO HEAD
OFF THE FEVER.
Only I'm Exceptional Cases Will He
Give Out Divorce Cases
for Publication.

Yesterday Judge Carter inaugurated
a new rule in his court. Hereafter, a
record of the divorces granted will not be
made out for publication. The purpose is
not to hinder the news gathers, Judge
Carter gays. as they have access to the
records. but the unnecessary publicity CIV
en- this class of litigation he deems detri-
mental to the welfare of the public. Each
Saturday. which is divorce day in the
county courts, from ten to twenty-five di-
vorces are granted. Judge Carter thinks
the sight of such "a long list each week is
misleading, and that people are apt to
believe that the securing of a divorce is an
easy matter In the courts. On this ac-
count, the judge says he believes many
women and men having little family
troubles Immediately rush to the divorce
court under the presumption that so many
have procured the apparent relief of
dissolution of matrimonial bonds, that it
is best for them to do likewise. When
there is really story in a divorce suit,
Judge Carter says he is willing for IL to
be given out
There is such deluge of divorce suits
that Judge Carter says he is disguised
and will use all the means within his
power to stop it. Most of the cases go
by default. and the defense not being rep
resented, the judge has to cross question
the plaintiff and the plaintiffs witnesses
to ascertain for himself whether there is
just cause for a divorce There is a
statute providing that the county prose-
cutor shall defend all defaulted divorce
cases but no provision is made for his
compensation other than Judgment against
either OF the parties. In nine cases out
Of ten these judgments amount 70 nothing,
the judge says as there is usually no prop
erty to secure the claim
This question, L think, said the judge,
should be considered by the committee
on reform laws in the next Legislature, and
a law enacted providing pay for the prose-
cutor in defending divorce suits. There
should be somebody to represent the de-
Tense and investigate the real conditions
that bring family troubles into court.
Sometimes / in doubt when granting
a divorce on default but the witnesses
give their testimony and a decision must
be made on the evidence. L question and
cross-question them, they answer in favor
of the plaintiff, and there you are.
GAS the law now is, the prosecutor can
not defend the cases because he would
have to depend upon the judgment for his
services. To take care of all the divorce
suits in the courts of this county, 1t would
be necessary for the prosecutor to hire
two or three deputies, and he cannot do
this out of the compensation of his Of
flee and what could be collected on judg-
mentS in the cases"

LEGAL RESIDENCE RULE
A DECISION BY JUDGE CARTER THAT
MAY HAVE BEARING.
A Declaration 10 Become n Citizen
of Another City Not SUFFICIENT
Other Court Cases.

Judge Carter. of the Superior Court. yes
terday rendered decision that may have
considerable bearing upon the question of
legal residence in the coming election, al
though II relates only 10 the particular case
he heard. Gustav a. Wurgler, a plumber
Of this city. brought suit against Robert
l.. King, with whom he asserts he entered
into partnership TO engage in the plumb
ing business in Alexandria. for 5000 DAM
ages for the alleged failure to share the
profits OF a contract for building a sewer
in that city and TO enjoin the Council and
officials of Alexandria from paying King
until the matter is ajudicated in the courts.
Wurgler represented that King came 10
him and asked him to enter the partner
ship. as he desired an experienced plumber
TO assist him. He complied, and says they
did business as firm except in the con-
tract for building the sewer, when, he as
serts, King secured the contract under
his own name. completely ignoring the
plaintiff, and refused TO divide the profits.
The hearing yesterday plea of
abatement entered by the defendants, hold
Ing that the court was out Of its jurisdic-
ton In trying the case, as King is resi-
dent of Alexandria. and that suit should
have been brought in Madison county. The
evidence and argument WIS on this point
alone, as II had to be decided before the
case could proceed. King claimed that it
was his intention to move to Alexandria
and he tried to rent a house but failed,
although he has been there ten months.
His attorneys also showed that his name
had been entered upon the poll books at
alexandria, aid King declared il was his
Intention TO go there to vote. The attor-
neys for Wurgler had Mrs. King testify,
and she said she had given her husbands
name TO the poll taker in this city, as she
supposed he would vote here. King stated
that he had rented his house in this city,
but Mrs. King testified TO the contrary.
The psaintin alleges King declared his in
tention TO become resident OF Alexandria
so that he would get a license.
In deciding Judge Carter held that as
King had his family here and he had not
carried out his intention to move to Alex
andria further than a declaration to be-
come citizen of that place, so far as his
case was concerned he was legally resi-
dent OF this city and the court had juris-
diction.
To what extent the decision will be taken
up by politicians cannot be ascertained
until election day.

MAN SERIOUSLY INJURED
TT RESULTED FROM RECKLESS
DRIVING OF A MAIL WAGON.
James Il. Parker Run Over by the
Heavily-LOaded Wagon-Tak-
en- Home in Ambulance.

The recklessness and indifference of the
drivers of the United States mail wagons
to the safety of citizens, which has long
been matter of much comment, resulted
last evening in serious injury to James T.
Parker engineer at the Cabinet Makers
Union plant.
Parker and a friend were crossing Me-
ridian street the Circle. They had
nearly crossed the street when Parker was
knocked down by the horse driven by Ar
thur Campbell. The horse, in seemingly
miraculous manner, stepped over his body,
but the wheels of the wagon. which con-
tanned, according to the statements of the
postoffice clerks, nearly three-quarters of
ton Of mail. passed over his body, injur-
ing his back. Parkers friend also narrow
ly escaped being knocked down. Parker
was picked up and helped to seat on the
curb, and after the arrival of the ambu-
lance taken to his home at $50 Bates street.
The wagon which ran over Parker was
en- route to the Union Station. and the
horse was trotting at a rapid gait. At the
same time another wagon going to the
postoffice passed. Campbell and the driver
of the other mail wagon exchanged greet
ings in loud voices and fourished their
whips at each other, paying no attention
whatever to their business of driving.
Campbell, after running his wagon over
Parker, stopped only about ten seconds,
and then, without getting OF to see what
injury had been inflicted, whipped up his
horse and drove to the Union Station.
Campbell is employed by Nageleisen
Bros, the livery men at 222 East Wabash
street. who have the contract for trans
porting the mails between the Union Sta
ton and the postoffice. Night Superintend-
ent Buchanan said the contractor was re-
sponsible for such accidents, there being
no license for fast or reckless driving, even
on government business. The regulations
as to delaying mails I'm Transmission do not
apply in such cases. 1t was also said
Campbell was undoubtedly driving faster
than necessary, having been allowed more
than the usual time to reach the train
with the mail.
