An Injured Wife Brings Suit for a
Total Divorce.
Ellen NJ. Flood filed suit for a total
divorce from her husband, Elliott B.
Flood, in the Superior Court yesterday.
Cruel and abusive treatment of the
plaintiff by the defendant is the ground
alleged for the grant of a divorce.
The parties were married Nov. "a,
1881, and until six years ago lived to-
gether quietly and happily. At that
time, because of the habit of immod-
crate drinking he acquired, the wife

and neglect her. For three years of

ever since.
During the entire period of six years
that has elapsed since Floods habit
of drinking began, his wife charges he
has constantly used towards her the
most foul, indecent and abusive Ian
guage; has charged her. without rea-
son or truth, with unchastity and in
fidelity. and has circulated false and
malicious stories, designed and tending
to destroy her reputation and defame
her good name.
There are four living children of the
marriage, ranging in age from years

ing the dignity of the smooth game
that was played by the petite brunette.
In july 1870, there was a piece Of
diamond thievery perpetrated in Sa-
vannah that does not begin to rark
with the work of the Queen Refer
ence was made to this in tie Morning
News yesterday. The. -iate S. P.
Hamilton then had BIS jewelry store,
at the corner Of Congress and Whita-
ker streets, and was robbed of $500
worth Of rings.
Entrance to the store was effected
by means of an open side door. While
two clerks were engaged in CONVEX
sation with a customer, some one en-
tered the side door. slipped behind the
counter and removed from the show
case a tray containing rings. The
thief was neither seen nor heard at
the time, and it was not until the re-
turn of other clerks from breakfast
that the theft was discovered.
At once a report to the police was
made, but never did their efforts re-
suit in the apprehension of the thief
Some years afterwards a gang of
crooks arrested in New York, in max
ing confessions, included the Hamilton
job in the list of wrongs they had
done.
Newspaper methods Of those days
were not of the hustling, busting
wideawake sort that characterize the
present-day press Though the robbery
was perpetrated July s. not until Aug
10, was it published. This, it was shown
by the pepper publishing it then, was
because though it knew of the crime,
it was thought that the guilty persons
could best be caught by maintaining
secrecy. 1t being finally decided that
publicity was more needed than any
thing else, the story was printed, and
a reward of $500 was offered.

GOOD ROADS IN THE WEST.

VIII Leave GnI-
cngo on a Tour To-day.
The departure from Chicago
to-day of the government good
roads train marks the inaugu-
ration of project that is ex-
pected to be of immense benefit to the
entire Northwest. The train consists
of a dozen fiat cars loaded with the
most improved road machinery, and
two cars with dining and sleeping
rooms attached for the accommodation
of a party of engineers, road experts
and representatives of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The train will reach Minneapolis
early in September, where demonstra-
tons of theoretical and practical road
making VIII be given at the state fair
grounds during fair week. At the close
of the fair the train will continue west
ward to the Pacific coast, stopping at
the principal cities en- route, at each
of which practical demonstrations in
good road building will be given. The
chief aim will be to show what can be
done with such road material as can
be found in the various cities to be
visited, introducing practical road ma
chinery and the most approved meth
DDS of road cons truCtio This travel
ing school, 1t is believed, will result in
great benefit to the Northwestern
states, where practical instruction in
road building is much needed. The trip
will occupy 100 days and will be under

director of public road inquiries of the
United States Department of Agricul-

Ivy Ponder Handed Over Her VaIu-
nbles and Had Trouble Getting
Them Back.
Fearing that she was going to die,
Ivy Ponder, colored, living on Price
street, gave all of her valuables to
Henry Johnson, a friend who was at
her bedside at the time her illness was
most alarming, with instructions as to
their disposition in the event of her
death.
But Ivy didn't die. She improved in
health, and last night decided to leave
for New Orleans. She asked Johnson
to return her valuabes, which consist
ed of two diamond rings, a turquoise
ring, pair of diamond earrings, a
gold watch and chain and $35 in cash,
but he refused to do it. Finding that
pleading availed her nothing, Ivy hunt
ed up an officer.
Detective Nose Davis was at the
barracks and went to the house where
Johnson was. Even then the Ponder
woman told Johnson if he would re-
charges against him. He did not
deny that the valuabes were
not his-in fact, he admitted that
they belonged to the woman, but he
refused to part with them. He gave
no reason for his refusal, and did not
finally give them up until searched at
the police barracks. All of the articles

S. A. |. TRIP TO OLD POINT.
Has Awakened Wide Interest and
Many Inquiries Are Made.

Many inquiries are received daily by
the Seaboard Air Line and the business
office of the Morning News about the
excursion to Old Point Comfort that
the railroad is to operate on Aug. 20.
1t is plain that wide interest in the
trip has been awakened. The popular
price of $40 for the round trip, with
a return limit of fifteen days, could
not fail to attract, and it is not re-
markable that so many should be de-
sirous of availing themselves of the
opportunity. There now seems every
prospect for a train of many cars, as
plenty of equipment would be required
for as many excursionists as it is be-
lieved will take the trip.

Passed the 200, oO0-MiIe Line.

The beginning of the second half of
1902 sees the railroads of the United
States cross the 200,0 900 mile line. Con-
struction during the past six months
was not especially active, though it
was larger than last years correspond
ing time, but the total which had been
reached by the end of 1901 was so near
the 100000 mile mark that that line
was certain to be passed long before
1902 neared its close 1t is only by
comparing this mileage with that of
some of the rest of the great coun-
tries that the American people can
fully realize the tremendous develop
ment which has taken place in this
field in their own land. Figures of
railroad activities for the world at
large are not very trustworthy but
taking those which are most recent
and reliable, the United States is seen
to be far ahead of any other country
Germany has about $4,000 miles of
main track Russia, 10000; France,
$1,000; Austria Hungary, %, 900; Great
Britain and ireland, % 600, while no
other European country has as many
as 10000 miles. All of Europe has
about 175,0O0 miles of road, or consid-
erably less than the United States,
while the entire worlds mileage is ar-
proximately 100000, of which the
United States furnishes two-1ifths.

BRINGING TURKEY TO TIME
American Demands Likely to Be Com
pIied With

The sharp rejoinder of United States
Minister Leishman to the ports is
having the desired effect of fastening
the carrying out of tine latter's engage
ments for the settlement of pending
questions. One of the American de-
mands heretofore disregarded, namely,
the return of package of insurance
policies seized by the authorities, was
complied with Thursday, while indi-
cations point to the porte being desi-
rous of preventing further friction by
settling the other matters, including
the rebuilding of the American mis-
sion house at Kharput, Turkish Ar
menia, destroyed at the time of the
Armenian massacres there, and the
granting of permission to Armenian
women and children to join their hus-
bands and fathers who are naturalized
Americans.
No additional information concern
ing the relations between the two
United States legations and the Tur-
kish government has been received at
the state department. Among other
difficulties which Minister Leishman
has encountered is in negotiating with
responsible authorities. His inter-
course has been with the minister of
foreign affairs, with whom he has
reached an agreement on nearly every
