ALBRAUGH
SEEKING
DIVORCE
wife Is a Writer Of NovsIeites
and Husband a GroceT'S
Clerk.

New York Jan. 10-Mrs. Mabel Al
braugh. who has written divers love tales
| under the name Of Ruth Ashburton, and
her husband. Chester Albraugh. who dis
| penses groceries I'm wholesale house in
consideration OF $50 per week. have
brought suits against each other iu the
supreme court for divorce.
Albraugh declares his wife has an un-
| governable temper. and although he is
only a plebeian tradesman's assistant. she
| Is gifted woman, who Is able 10 write
| novelettes, thereby adding to the family
exchequer
Mrs. Albraugh replies by saying her
husbands temper il beyond her bearing.
and therefore she would like TO have a
divorce
The .Albraughs were married I'm 1892 and
have two children, n boy OF and a girl
OF 2. Albrsugh has always been content
TO do duty as clerk, leaving the fights
OF fancy and tho STANDARD OF genius TO
his wife while he has gone over sordid
accounts or toms toes and potatoes and
other things in the foodstun line.
His place OF business is 1T Wsshill,, ton
and Hubert streets but his home address
he is Keeping a secret.
SHE WAS SORRY SHE MARRIED
Albraugh Instituted the first action
through Attorney Edward r Maher. OF
IL Park row He says his wife found fault
because he was not able to earn more
money and berated herself in his presence
for marrying a clerk while she was a
woman ofsgenius.
She worked herself at her chosen line,
although she strongly objected To using
the money To settle storekeepers' ac-
counts and To pay off hard hearted land
lords
Such sentiments gave rise To frequent
interviews OF a nature that alarmed the
neighbors, until just before Christmas AL
braugh says he was forced to flee from
an avalanche OF crockery and cooking
utensils and seek quarters elsewhere.
SAYS HE WAS CRUEL.
No sooner did Mrs. .Albraugh get wind
of this action than she brought suit, and
charged Albraugh with cruelty beating
her I'm the presence Of her children. strik-
Ing her on the street and with failure TO
provide for his family.
She declares that were IL not for her
work and frequent appeals 70 her FAINT
for assistance OF financisl nature the
household would never have survived its
first six months.
She accordingly requests that limited
divorce be granted TO her and that AL
braugh be compelled to pay her si2 a
week for the support of herself and her
two children, and also $500 as counsel fees
while the settlement of the action is
pending.
This latter motion will be argued before
Justice Blanchard In the supreme court
this week.

DOWIE MUST EXPLAIN.
Deacon Stevenson Seeks to Have Healer
Tell of Funds of Deceased Wife.

Deacon Stevenson Seeks to Have Healer
Tell of Funds of Deceased Wife.
John Alexander Dowie, general over
seer of the Christian Catholic church,
will be witness perforce in the Pro-
bate court, and will be accused of in
terpolating clause above an irdorse-
ment, whereby he was the gamer to
the extent of $50, 900.
He will be called on to show why he
should not be compelled to pay de-
posit for that amount in cash, instead
of in stock of the Zion City Land as
ISOLATION, as he now insists in doing.
The case will come up within week,
Dowie will be called into court at the
instance of his brother-in-1aw, Samuel
Stevenson, whose wife, Dowie's sister,
died some time ago en- route from
Europe to Chicago.
Stevenson, when he married Dowie's
sister, made her gift of $4,000. She
deposited this in the Zion bank and re-
ceived a certificate of deposit.
On the check deposited by her, and
on the certificate, is the note, said to
be in the handwriting of the general
overseer himself: "To be invested in
Zion City improvement stock"
After her death a will was filed in
she made her husband the sole bene-
ficiary of her estate. This will was
attacked, inasmuch as two of the wit
nesses, residents of Zion, testified that
they could not remember that Mrs.
Stevenson had seen them witness the
will, or as to what her mental. ,condi-
ton was at the time. A third witness,
however-not Dowieite-testifed
that she was of sound and disposing
mind and memory, and on his testi-
mony the instrument was admitted to
probate by Judge Cutting.
When, under the provisions of the
will, a demand was made by Stevenson
for the money in the bank, it is said to
have been met with the proffer by
Dowie to pay the deposit in improve
ment stock at par. Stevenson refused
to accept the proffer, demanding cash.
Stevenson was at the head of the
Zion lace industry when he married
Mary Ann Dowie and settled upon her
$50, 900 which he had IN the Zion bank.
The transfer of the money was made
by a check drawn by Stevenson on the
bank in favor of his wife.
1t contains the Endorsement of the
woman, and underneath that the in
dorsement of John Alexander Dowie.
Above the signature of the woman ap-
pear the lines indicating the use to be.
made of the money. Before taking his
wife for trip to England Stevenson
made preparations to guard against
accident. The woman made will.
giving the husband life interest in
her estate, and through this life inter-
est providing also for Stevenson's SON
by former marriage.
Stevenson, it is said, claims that the
lines were placed on the back of the
check while he and his wife were on
the ocean, and it will be up to Dowie to-
disprove this claim.

MANY TRAINS FOR ZION.
Northwestern Company Makes Changes in
Schedule to Accommodate People.


Schedule to Accommodate People.
Zion City is to be made an important
terminal for suburban trains of the
Chicago & Northw estern railway sys-
TEN. With a new time card that will
become effective on that road tomor-
row the suburban schedule between
Chicago and Waukegan and between
the latter point and Zion City will be
entirely reorganized to give Dow1e's
town score or more of special trains.
Heretofore Kenosha has been the
northern terminus of a ma jority of the
suburban trains on that line. After
tomorrow Zion City will be the end of
many of the important express trains.
In addition to giving superior train
service to and from Zion City the new
schedule will increase the number of
trains for Camp Logan and Winthrop
Harbor.
Since Dowie founded his town on
the north shore he has been endeavor-
ing to induce officers of the North
western road to increase the number
of trains to and from Chicago. The
travel is said to be quite heavy now, in
fact, has increased to such all extent
that the management of the North
western road has reached its decision
regarding the change as business
proposition and not with any inten-
ton of booming Dowie's city.

POULTRY SHOW ASSURED.
Members of the Association Decide to Hold
Poultry and Pet Stock Show

Members Of the Association Decide to Hold
Poultry and Pet Stock Show.
The second meeting of the promot-
ers of the New Kenosha County Poul-
try Association was held last evening
at the office of DR.. Hernsheim, on
Market street, and it was decided to
form a permanent organization.
This orga nization being formed it
was decided to hold the first show
under the auspices of the association
either during the Holiday week or the
first week in January.
The show promises to be great
success and the managers are now in
correspondence with some of the lead
ing poultry judges in the west, and
they expect to have these men here to
officiates at the Kenosha show. At the
meeting last evening it was suggested
that the show be not only a poultry
show, but also show at which pet
stock of all kind can be entered, and
this plan will probably be adopted.
The final arrangements for the show
will be made at meeting to be held
two weeks from last evening.
