HUSBAND
CAN CHOOSE
DOMIC|LE.
Arnold Granted Divorce Because
wife Refuses to Come to
His Home In This City.

Judge Tillinghast today handed down
his decision in the divorce case OF Otto
Emil Arnold VS.. Anna Laura Arnold. Mr..
Arnold sued for a divorce on the ground
OF desertion.
The desertion consisted in the refusal
of Mrs. Arnold 10 come TO this city from
her former home in Germany.
Judge Tillinghast decides that Mr.. Ar
mold is entitled TO a divorce.
1t is held by Judge Tillinghast that the
husband being the head of the family
can select the domicile but the exercise
of this perrogative must not be arbitrary
or unreasonable, so as TO amount to
cruelty but should be done In good faith.
A husband could not force his wife to
change her residence IL her health would
be greatly injured thereby. for that would
be legal cruelty.
Judge Tillinghast, speaking OF Mrs. Ar
nolds reasons for not coming to this
country says they are more sentimental
than satisfactory for she Is simply averse
to leaving her mother. friends and native
land, and seems to be apprehensive that
some ldnd of misfortune will attend her
n she comes and such reasons do not
constitute a sufficient justification for her
refusal
Mr.. Arnold sent his wife money month
w for several years and once sent her o
passage ticket To this country.

across TO Newport on wager. he and his
competitor touching the dock at Newport
at the same instant after a wonderful
head and head race for the last two
miles.
Then Joe went into the trick bicycle
riding business. and with his partner
gotten UP as a tramp. scored a great sue
cess in New York and secured engage
ments for the entire winter.
They appeared here. and at the West
minister Theatre In the winter of 1885,
Last week an amsteur circus gave per-
formances at the I'D Regiment armory.
and Joe was engaged for the week
HI. waA q most sensational act. He
rode his wheel up an aerial platform
until he reached q point near the ceiling
and there he entered steep chute $50
|-reet In length, which terminated abrupt
ly, and over a tank of water 35 feet be-
low. This tank was 10 feet wide and but
feet deep.
Joe's trick was TO ride at tremendous
pace down that chute. at the end OF
latter Kicking his wheel into a net and
diving head first into the tank. This
kind of dive is what is known as the
scoop" The diver quickly turns his
body and travels the length of the tank
without touching bottom.
The circus was attended by a big
crowd, and when Joe came out and the
band ceased playing. the women and
children said ''Oh," and were In a high
pitch of tension.
Starck deliberately made his arrange
ments for his daring ride. gave the signal
TO his assistant TO liberats the wheel and
began pedalling.
Starck bent forward until his body al
most touched the handle bars. The light
thing sprang forward and came down tho
incline at terrific speed.
Some st aftcrward that the wheel
wobbled, went wrong, part way down the
chute. But the mass OF the great au-
dience saw nothing but the swift. arrow
like flight OF the cyclist, with ever in
