Mrs. Van PeIt Granted N Divorce.

Anna c. Van Pelt ives yesterday granted
a divorce from her husband, John II. Van
Pelt, and given s, 500 alimony and their
household furniture at S25 North Pennsyl-
vanias street by Judge Allen, of the Circuit
Court. She alleged that her husband, soon
after their marriage, began a studied
malicious, systematic course of cruel and
inhuman treatment which completely
broke down her health. She averred that
he would become enraged because she
would not give him money and that one
time when she refused him $40 he forcibly
took her watch and held il until she gave
him the money. She charges that on an

Brown and c. j. Orbison. representing the
liquor interests. presented their side of the
case yesterday afternoon. Both contended
that the signatures procured on Sunday
were invalid and that the blanket power of
attorney to sign a remonstrance against
any and all saloons in the Fourth ward
could not stand. because the Supreme
Court had decided that the power of attor-
ney used in a liquor license remonstrance
could be used against one applicant only.
They also charged fraud in obtaining sig
natures.
Eli +. Ritter and Attorney BrOwder will

people this morning. 1t will be some time
before the Commissioners will be able 70
give their decision, as they will have TO
go over the big remonstrance and decide
what signatures are legal.

BRIDGE CLOSED TO TRAFFIC.
Six Supporting Rods Break and a New
Bridge Is Made Necessary.

The washington-street bridge over White
river seems to be approaching the last
stages of dissolution. Yesterday, few
hours after the Board of Works had Wis
tied it and had declared that with a few
repairs to the flooring ii would be service
able for some time six supporting rods
snapped and left the old structure in a
bad way City Engineer Nelson had look
at the bridge after the breaking OF the
rods yesterday, and promptly ordered all
heavy traffic discontinued. Foot passen-
gers may use il and empty street cars but
wagons and loaded cars may not cross.
Watchmen are placed at each end of the
old bridge to see that the order is carried
out. On account of the fact that the
bridge is an almost Indispensable link in
the street-car service ii was decided TO give
the company the benefit of running empty
carszover it for the present.
The Board of Works will repair the
bridge at once to meet temporarily the
needs OF general traffic. The street-car
company will be ordered TO perform its
share of the repairs. There is a POSSIBLE
ity, however that the days of the old iron
bridge are numbered and that new stone
bridge which will be credit to the city
may be ordered before many weeks. Mr..
Mcguire. of the Board of Works, said
yesterday that the repairs demanded now
Will postpone for short time only the in
evitable end of the decayed structure. He
said that new bridge is badly needed
and the board will have to consider the
question at once.
An official of the city engineers office
yesterday said: I'm my opinion a new
stone bridge over White river will be or
dered by next spring and will be in course
of construction by that time. There is not
a single Improvement needed more by the
city and the board will have TO come TO
IL. L think that the new bridge will be
of stone, $50 feet wide, with two fifty-foOt
roadways and two twenty-five-foot walks
1t will replace when built both the old
wooden bridge and the iron wreck now
dangling over the water. Spring will be
the best time to commence work on il be-
cause there will be season of dry weather
ahead and no danger of damage from
freshets''
An estimate of the cost of such bridge
has been furnished to the office of the city
engineer. 1t is stated that il could not
be constructed for less than $l5O,O00

GUARDIAN FOR TWO GIRLS
Young MAN ENGAGED TO MARRY
ONE OF THEM APPOINTED.
They Desired to Sell "a Piece of Prop
erty-Supreme Court Action
Other Court Cases.

An amusing situation has just come to
light in the probate department through
the granting Of a petition TO sell real estate.
The unusual circumstance was the appoint
ment OF a young man named Myers as
guardian OF his prospective wife and her
sister. both minors, in order that they
might execute a deed The wards are Cora
and Belle PIummer The Union Trust Com
pany had formerly been their guardian, but
resigned, leaving property in their hands.
They recently desired 10 sell piece Of the
property. and thought they were of age
and could make a deed. The purchaser,
however looked up the title TO the prop
erty. and found that a guardianship had
once existed, and later discovered the af-
fdavit OF their mother. made in 1893. which
stated that the girls were then respective
ly ten and seven years old. This would
make them fifteen and eighteen years old
The young women were told that it would
be necessary 10 have guardian appointed
10 execute deed, and Myers, who is said
10 be engaged to one of the Miss Plum
mers, was appointed at their request
A search in the records showed that the
property owned by the young women came
TO them in roundabout way. Their ia
Their died. and George w. Van Sycle was
appointed guardian. He failed TO make
regular reports, and was finally cited to
appear in the probate department and ex-
plain what he was doing with the property.
From some source s. 600 had come to the
girls, and ii was found in the investigation
that the guardian had disposed of it, Van
Sycle was removed, and the Union Trust
Company was appointed guardian. Van
Sycle, while he was guardian, decided sew
eral pieces Of property 10 his wife. The
Union Trust Company filed suit against
Van Sycie and his bOndsmen for the recoV-
cry OF the funds. and also 10 set aside the
deeds executed 10 his wife. The convey
ances were set aside and the guardian re-
covered real estate to make good the loss
OF the money. The guardianship was then
wound up, and the Union Trust Company
resigned. Nothing was heard of the estate
since that time until the Miss Plummers
desired 10 sell part of their property.

DECISION AGAINST sCHILLING.
Supreme Court Holds that the Former
Recorder Owes County Money.

The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed
the judgment against William Z. Shilling
ex-county recorder of Marion. county on
his bond for $1,000 in favor of the county
The court held that Shilling. as county re-
cOrder, between Nov. IA, 1894, and June 30,
1896, collected in fees So 20. more than
his salary for the time, which he failed to
pay over TO the county, but claimed as his
own As his bond only for $1,000, the
judgment in this action, which was brought
on the bond, was limited to that amount.
Shilling based his claim to the money on
the contention that the fee and salary law
or 1891 was unconstitutional, but the court
held that this question had been settled
against his contention by earlier decisions.
The fees collected by Shilling as recorder,
II was asserted. belonged to the county,
and II was the duty OF the Board of Com
missioners, in case he failed to pay them
into the treasury, 10 bring suit TO recover

WARM ARGUMENTS.
They Are Made i'm the Office of the
Board of Works.

The office of the Board of Public Works
furnished the theater for some pretty warm
arguments yesterday on the matter of an
alley Improvement. MILFORD NJ. Williams,
who Is the owner of an apartment house
on Cora street, just above Thirteenth
street, between Illinois and Capitol avenue
wants the board to order the street re-
paved. He has been conducting some ex-
tensive building operations i'm that vicinity
and wants the board TO improve the neigh
borhood. Opposing Mr. Williams were d
number of residents along the street who
believe that the present pavement is good
enough for all practical purposes. and con-
tend that the board would be acting IN
justly by forcing additional expenditures
on them. They were represented by At
torney Charles Martindale. The matter
came up before the former board several
times, and ii was inclined TO favor the re-
monstrators. The board took the matter
under advisement.
