All of the cases against the city and the Consolidated Railroad Co in which Attorney J. P. Kellogg appears have been put over to the next term, MT Kellogg having gone south for the benefit of his health. All motions down for hearing went over to next week. except two in the suit of A. NJ. Burritt ct al. executors. against An @elo C. Burritt. and these were taken off the list. The court took in three motions by Attorney NJ. T. Byrne. re. ceiver for the Evening Globe Publish ing Co. They were for the acceptance of his report as receiver. for the ap- proval of his fees and for an order to pay certain expenses and claims.
 Divorces were then taken up. Annie PetrOwsky asked for divorce from George Petrowsky on the grounds or intolerable cruelty; also the custody of their four children. aged 12. 10. and 3 respectively. Attorney Russell ap- peared for the plaintiff. The troubles of this couple were told in the city court last year. They were married in historic Shenandoah. Pa. fourteen years ago. and for the seven years last past have not lived happily Plaintiff, had defendant arrested two or three times for assaulting her. and it was shown on these occasions that jealousy on the part of the husband was the cause of the trouble. The evidence given today was rather surprising The couple do not live together. but the same roof gives them shelter. Frequently the husband when in his cups invades his wife's apartments and wipes the floor with her. The latest visit took place three weeks ago when he blacked both her eyes. It was shown that about two years ago they had a scuffie that the husband was laid up for three weeks and even tually lost an eye. but whether it was from the effects of the row was not 1 ftTf, .,ho II. eldest child, testified. Decision was deferred.
 The only other case tried was that of Edward Peck against Mary Peck. Plaintiff was represented by Senator Kennedy. Plaintiff was q coal miner in Roseville. Pa. In June. 1897. there was a strike and money was very scarce. No one dared to go to work in the strikers places and Peck came to Naugatuck at the request of his brother. who was living in that town. Subsequently,. when he was on his feet again he wrote his wife to join him. She sent for him to nay her fare and Peck sent her S2O. Then she said she would not come east. Letters were introduced showing that she had no further liking for Peck. but she would not oppose the giving of their child into his custody. Mrs Peck was pre- viouSly married and had two other children. There was just one flaw in the proceedings. proper return of the writ was not made. Decision was de- ferred until this is done.
 The petition of Matilda Loud for di- vorce from Frank E. Loud was dis missed.
 The hearing on the case of Bowditch was then resumed
