drunkenness of the defendant, to whom
he was married at Rockville, Nd, in De
cember, 1894 At that time, he says, she
gave her name as Rose Y. Curtis. After
their marriage, Anderson declares, he was
informed that his wife had previously
been married to Benjamin f. Atwell, who
secured a divorce from her in February
1881. The decree, Anderson states, did
not give the wife permission to resume
her maiden name. Benjamin T. Leighton
is named as counsel for the petitioner
Edith II. Sears asks for divorce from
her husband. James F. Sears on statu-
tory grounds. She states that she was
married to Sears at Monroe, La, in 1885,

RAILWAY STRIKE AVERTED.

The possibility of a strike on the part
OF the motornen and conductors of the
Washington Traction and Electric Com

suit Of a conference held last evening be-
tween the representatives Of the company

announcing that the New York Clothing
House of Baltimore, had consented to
reduce the price of its suits from S14 to
