Celebrated Case Again In Court.

One of the most celebrated divorce cases
that was ever heard in the courts of Taze'
we'll county was that of Heninger VS.. Hen
niger. About the year 1891 or 1892 Mrs.
Catherine Henlnger brought a suit Tor
absolute divorce against her husband,
Samuel I. Heninger. 1t was one OF the
most stubboruly fought cases that WIS ever
contested in our courts. A decree was
finally obtained in the circuit court grant
ing the plaintiff the divorce prayed for.
The case was taken 10 the Supreme Court
of Appeals, which court sustained the de-
cree of the lower court in granting the
divorce. At the December term, 1894,
the circuit court entered decree allowing
alimony to the plaintiff, and fixing the
amount to be paid her annually for the
support Of herself and FIVE children at
81, 900. There was no appeal from that
decree, and since that time, until the pres
ent, MIR. HenlDger has been complying
with tle u6CTee Ol Iu6 COutI W P"Ji
over the 81 900 each year.
A few months ago he filed a petition In
the circuit court, asking for a reduction IN
the amount Of aIimony, for reasons stated
in said petition. This petition, which Was
prepared by Mr.. H. g. Anderson as coun-
sci for Mr.. Henlnger, we have heard, was
a very strong paper. Fulton & Coulling
were subsequently associated with him as
counsel for the petitioner, and Henry d
Graham represented the respondents,
Mrs. Heninger and her children.
On last Saturday the case was very ably
argued before Judge Jackson by MIR. AL
derson and Judge Coulling for the peh'
toner and by Judge Graham for the re-
spondents. Monday morning Judge
Jackson rendered decision in the casei
and entered decree reducing the alimony
from 81 900 to 5000.

Bold Burglary.

On last Sunday night some person or
persons burglarized the clothing store of
HArman & Bottimore and the drug store
of John +. Jackson. These stores adjOiu,
and are in the center of the business part
of the town.
The entrance to both of the stores was
made at the rear and by similar method.
A hole was cut in each of the back doors,
directly beneath the locks and bolts 1t
looks like the holes we're cut with a large
knife, or, perhaps sharp hatchet. The
thief or thieves put their hand through the
hole, turned the key in the lock and slid
back the bolt that was on each of the
doors.
The robbers were evidently familiar
with the fastenings to the doors. They
took nothing from the store of Harman q
Bottimore, and must have been fright
ened away. Mr.. Jackson suffered a small
lose. There was small sun in his cash
drawer, perhaps four or five dollars, which
was taken. The thieves also helped them
selves to some fine cigars and drank few
bottles of extract of malt

Floating Battery for Coast Defense

New York, April 1l.-Anson Phelps
Stokes, the millionaire and philanthropist,
has invented floating battery designed
for coast defense. 1t is spherical In form
and resembles in some respects the famous
Popof and Novgo rod Of the Russian
navy. The battery is intended to be con-
structed of steel and to carry two guns OF
large calibre or one great gun. SmaheF
guns may be mounted on the upper deck
MIR. Stokes design contemplates holdlng
the guns rigid. They can be elevated Vi
depressed only by fitting the whole VeSSel
by means of counterpoises.
Unlike the Russian batteries, Mr. Stokes
makes no provision for self propulsion
The inventor claims that his battery Is
economical in construction and malnten
ance of great power in offensive operations
practically impregnable and free from the
disadvantages attending previous design
of similar character.

FOUGHT FOR
THREE DAYS
Desperate Battle Required Of PerShinS'S
Force.
FORTIFICATIONS ARE BOMBARDED.
Column Carried Forward a Bamboo Bridge
With Which TO Cross MOat When
Assault Was Made-Fight-
ing Inside Forts.

Manila, April 1.-THE investment OF
Bacolod, Island of MindinaO, which was
captured by Captain Pershing's forces,
after a fight in which a hundred MOros
were killed, occupied three days The
final assault was made at noon Wednesday.
Desperate fighting took place inside the
forts. Seven cannons were captured and
eleven Americans wounded, few of them
seriously. 1t is probable that all the
Americans will recover.
The column approached Bacolod early
on Monday and found new fort, which
had been year under construction, flying
battle flags. The Moros did not wait to be
attacked but fred volley, which wound
ed two Americans. Captain Pershing then
decided to lombard the Notifications, and
McNairs and Gatley's batteries took up
positions and sheled the forts and works
until Wednesday morning, the infantry
and cavalry supporting the attack Many
of the Moros left the forts on Monday aud
Tuesday nights, and escaped in boats on
the lake. The assault on Wednesday was
carefully prepared. The column moved
forward on bamboo bridge, on which the
troops crossed the moat, under fire, and
afterwards scaled the walls. The lighting
inside the forts was most desperate Sixty
dead Moros were found inside the walls
and forty were killed in the trenches.
The whereabouts of the Sultan OF Baco-
lod is not known. He is believed to have
escaped Monday night.
