execute his promises, yet he disregarded all
his promises to her. She further declares
that when she saw the defendant in his
rooms with another woman, and tried again
to see him, he, through his agents ard
fl lends offered the plaintiff the sum OF
81 600 TO go home and not to expose him or
the woman. This the plaintiff refused to
do again insisting that the defendant
should keep his promises to her and marry
her and he, the defendant, again disre-
garded his promises, and abused the plain
tiff and willfully and wrongfully refused to
marry her, leaving her WITHOUT money,
friends, or with any means to live upon,
contrary to his promises and to the plain
tiffs damage in the sum of $4,000, and
therefore she brings this suit.

the hope that the next legislature OF Penn

AFTER NATURAL
GAS COMPANY.
Plaintiff in a Lawsuit Enumer-
ates His Complaints.
FAMILY NEARLY AsPHYXIATED
Says the Company Turned On the Gas and
Caused Doctors Bills, Killed a
Canary Bird and Inflicted
Other Damages.

that the job was not well done and that
when they turned on the gas on the
evening of November 8, the pipes leaked
and came near asphyxiating the whole
family. The plaintiff says that by rea-

haling the gas they were poisoned and
have been sick ever since. He says that
his wife, his daughter and his son have
all been laid up, that he has lost their
services and been compelled to pay out

Be Under Consideration.

why He Has Placed Certain Favors

House Appropriation

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service ]
Washington, Jan. 2-When congress
reassembles tomorrow the real work of
the session will begin. Meetings have
been called of most of the important
committees, and the consideration of
the principle bills that have been in
troduced will begin this week. The
Quay contested case and the currency
bill will come up early. The discussion
of the Philippine policy and the Samoan
treaty will probably form text for a
talk on the general foreign policy of the
country. In the house the great appro-
priation bills will be among the first to
be considered. 1t is not likely that
much business will be transacted in
the house before next Monday, because
few of the committees are yet organ
lied.
Resolutions, calling on the secretary
of the treasury for information on the
subject of placing government funds
in certain banks in New York. will be
introduced and may provoke some dis
cussion this week.

CALDWELL WANTS
MORE SALARY,
Republican Extravaganza Al
ready Becoming Manifest.
A BILL is TO BE INTRODUCED
To Give Boss Cox's Man More Money to
Further the Interests of the
Fellows Who Helped to
Elect Him.
Special to News-Democrat.

Special to News-Democrat.
Columbus, Jan. 2.-The Republicans
in the legislature are starting right in
to increase the expenses of the state ad-
ministration. Not content with being
elected at the salaries that have been
paid to predecessors increases are now
asked for.
The proposed bill for an increase in
the salary of lieutenant Governor Cald-
well from $500 to $1,000 per year will
probably be introduced in the legisla-
ture tomorrow.
The Democrats are said to be deter
mined on making a strong fight against
the passage of the bill. The legal point
has been raised as to whether or not
the proposed increase in the salary
could be made applicable to the term
of Caldwell, even though the Republi-
cans succeeded in securing it's passage.
Lawyers in the legislature say that
when Caldwell was elected he made a
contract with the state to serve on a
salary of $500 per year and that it is i'm
possible for him now to secure the in
crease.
The plan of the Democratic opposi-
ton to the salary bill is said to load It
down with amendments providing for
an increase in the salaries of all the
state officers, from the governor down.
The absurdity Of the thing, they hope,
will kill the measure.
SALARY RAISED.
Columbus, Jan. 2.-In the senate this
morning, a bill Increasing the salary
Of the lieutenant governor from $500 to
