She Alleges Husband Neg
lected and Ill-Treated Her.
Plaintiff Claims He Has Depart
ment Position and Has Prop
erfy in Florida.

Mrs. Mary Jane Leesnitzer yesterday
filed suit for separate support and main
tenance against her husband. George W
Leesnitzer, who, she states, is employed
as a clerk in the Bureau of Statistics
at the Treasury Department. Although
he receives salary of sl,400 year, Mrs.
Leesnitzer declares that he allows her
but $50 a month for the support OF herself
and four children
Wife Alleges Neglect.
About the year 1890. Mrs. Leesnitzer
states that her husband commenced to
neglect her and used obscene and foul
language in addressing her. Three years
says, that he would not speak to her
except to demand that she institute pro-
ceedings for divorce against him. Once,
she declares, he offered her 81 900 if she
would file a petition for divorce against
him.
Because Of his threats and intimida-
tion. Mrs. LeesntZer asserts that on
January instant she was compelled to
leave him, and since then he allows her
barely sufficient funds for her support.
Property Reported in Florida.
Besides his salary, Mrs. Leesnitzer
states that her husband owns valuable
real estate in Florida, and she asks the
court to compel him to make an ac-
counting of this and also to restrain him
from disposing of his property.
Mrs. Leesnitzer also declares that her
husband lavishes his salary and affections
upon another woman

NEW YORK. Jan. SO.-Such points of
novelty as were comprised in today's sit
uation were clearly susceptible of favor
able construction, yet they carried little
weight in the days stock market.
Day. Dealings Light.
As a matter Of fact. the dealings were
in comparatively light volume, and the
trading had a mcst uncertain tone
throughout.
Abundant supplies of money were again
available at very low rates. Sterling ez-
change was, indeed. shade firmer, in
consequence Of easy local money mar
ket and irmer discount rates in London,
hui the probabilities of early heavy eA-
portatiCns of gold seem too remote for
discussion.
The London stock market exhibited the
sane general tendencies which have C2en
present throughput the week Home Sc
curities, including consols. were strong,
and further advances took place in the
Copper stock>. and in the South African
mining securities. The American quar-
ter was again dull and heavy.
\ Break in Sugar.
The professional element of the street
prcfessed disappointment that the pub
lication cf the complete statement of
the Steel Corporation, together with its
balance sheet. Was not followed up by an
active bull manipulation in these securi-
tics. Dealings in the United States Steel
issues today were in fairly large vol
ume. but the resultant price movements
were ccmp5rativel! small
Sugar Refining broke rather sharply in
the carly dealings on the notion that the
prospective revision of the internal reve-
nue. laws might endanger the chances for
an early revision OF the tariff on Cuban
products.
After opening with an uncertain ten
dency, Amalgamated Copper responded in
a rapid advance to the rise in the price
OF the metal in the London and local mar
kets.
Other firm features of the miscellaneous
group were American Locomotive, Amer
lean Smelling, Tennessee Coal and Iron,
and the sSloss- Sheffield stocks. The local
tracti5n shares continued comparatively
neglected.
Some of the days more extensive move
ments took place in the railway list.
Noteworthy movements took place in

Milwaukee. Wis. June "A member
of the association OF railway claim
agents made the startling disclosure OF
a series of frauds being perpetrated on
the railroads of the country. The evil
dence produced showed that there is an
attorney somewhere in the west who,
with three other men. is engaged in
holding up railroads in nearly every big
accident which occurs. The game work
ed is to have two of the men interested
in the deal pretend to have been ser
iously injured in an accident. The men
are not present at the time Of the acci-
dent, of course. but they turn up IN
time to swear that they were in the
wreck. and by means of their peculiar
ability to disiocate a nip joint or SON e
other part Of their anatomy at Will
they lay claim to damages. The attor-
ney follows them to the third man, who
swears that he saw the two injured men
in the train prior to a wreck and a
claim for heavy damages thus results.
