band, charging him with excessive surlis
ness. brutality and i'll temper. brought
about, it is alleged, by constant .inteziea-
ton. She also accuses him of paying UNI
due attention to a Mrs. Angel.
The Farriers were married In 1866, and
lived happily until January. 1889, whens
the wife alleges, Mr.. Farriers sought the
society of other women. For the last two
years, Mrs. Farrier says, in her affidavit.

sober at any time.
Mrs Farrier received word on Tuesday
evening that her husband was lurching

Who is one of his tenants, at No. 132 Mont-
gomery street, Jersey City. The wife went
to the place, where she says, she saw tha
pair slipping wine. Mrs. Farrier then in-
stituted the divorce proceedings.
Many instances of abuse by her hus-
band are reeited by Mrs. Farrier. She
says that on Labor Day her husband and
two women were on the corner of Newark
avenue and Montgomery street, Jersey

threats to sign an agreement of separa-
tion. This agreement. the wife says, was
never executed and she continued to live
with her husband as before. She *
presses the belief that is she is compelled
longer to live with her husband it will
cause her death as she is now an in
valid.
Mrs. Farrier further says that one day
last April her husband threw all her
clothing out of the window and last
month he discharged her servants three
times without any excuse OF reason ex-
cept to annoy and poster her"
