Orchardist's Wife Tells an
Unusual Tale of the Dire
Results of mtemperance
MINERS BRIDE REPLIES
Says Tonopah Man Is Too
Old and Big and Cruel.
Rich Contractor Accused

The quietude of a Newcastle orchard
nome was frequently disturbed by
Herbert Falks love for drink and his
penchant for brandishing revolver,
according to the complaint for divorce
filed yesterday by his wife, Cora, whom
he married nine years ago at Santa
Cruz. Four months after their mar
rage, she says, he took to drinking,
and Tor seven years has consumed two
bottles of whisky on three nights week
ly, total of 21S4 bottles She says
that in his drunken frenzies he threat
ened her life with revolvers, rifles and
shotguns, and once when he tried to
shoot her the pistol went off in time
to shoot him in the leg. She says that
he shot at her dogs and once shot and
killed the horse he was driving. The
orchard and farm are worth S12,500 and
he has an income from other sources Of
$100 a month.
A big difference in weight and age
seems to have destroyed loves young
dream for Nettie Runge and Christ
Runge, Tonopah mining man. They
were married on October 4 last. She
was Is years old and weighed 12O
pounds; he was 45 and weighed 200. A
few days ago he sued for divorce on
the ground that she treated him harsh
ly and said she did not love him. Yes
terday she filed a ross-complalnt,
charging him with cruelty. She says
that when she tried to leave him at the
International Hotel in this city on
October 80 he forced her to remain, and
used a 44-caliber revolver. Mrs. Runge
says her husband has been in the Tono-
pah mines for five years and has prop
erty worth from $50, 900 to 100000 and
that his income is $4,000 a year. She
asks for $3.50 a month alimony, $500
costs and $1,000 counsel fees. Judge Ker-
rigan has restrained Runge from dis
posing of his property.
Freda Duebel, wife of Charles A.
Duebel, a contractor, has revolted from
twenty nine years of alleged cruelty
and sues for divorce. They were mar
ried in 1875, and she says that she has
been mistreated ever since, the climax
being reached on November II, when,
she says, he knocked her down. She
says that when they welded she gave
him 500 of her earnings with which
to go into business, and he has since
built up a fortune in realty, money
and securities amounting to at least
1000. She demands her share.
Harriet H. Hubbell, whose husband,
DR.. G. r. Hubbell, is suing her for di-
vorce, has applied to the court for 500
a month as alimony pending the trial
of the case. She says he earns $3.50 a
month from his practice.
Dinah Reid has sued for the annul-
ment of her marriage with William j.
Reid, which took place at San Rafael
on May 16 1901. A month before she

FLORAL SOCIETY TALKS OF
THE ROSE AND ITS RUST
Interesting Facts Brought to Light
Concerning the Coming of Euro
mean Diseases to Flowers

The State Floral Society discussed the
rose and it's assailing diseases yester-
day at the monthly meeting in Elks
Hall, this being the main topic, though
much was also said of rust and its de-
structive quality. Four kinds of rust
are causing trouble among florists and
the invasion has been slow but fatal.
Hollyhock rust first made its way from
Europe to this continent, striking Mas
sachusettts and gradually spreading
westward. Carnation rust, also arising
in Europe, betrayed itself in 1880 in
New Jersey and has slowly come to-
ward the Pacific slope. Asparagus rust
thrust itself upon notice in 1896 and has
made the same progress. Chrysanthe-
mum rust, of very recent birth, is just
becoming noticeable throughout the
Santa Clara Valley. Each kind Is in
sidious in growth and effect, and
though sulphur fumes check, by the
time rust is visible too much damage
to be alleviated has been accomplished.

 The B.

They and their friends who were at the alleys were consequently highly elatec over the re suit of the games.

4 Buniness LcaEue's Plan For Secrr-
 ing Desirable Residents-
 A business league recently organ fzed in a Maine town is doing much to build up the community. This league believes in advertising and not only uses the columns of the local pa- pers for this purpose. but is now issu- ..Ig an inexpensive but interesting folder giving some facts about the town. These folders are distributed as widely as possible, and if the plan Is energetically followed up it ought to bring good results. Besides this. the league goes in for anything and every thing that will improve the town and make 1t better place to live in.
 The circular issued by the league says that at this time there is not a single inhabitant sick in bed. and the large orphan asylum located there has not had death in ten years. The good points about the town are clearly and convincingly stated. The circular gives the name of the chairman of the league and states that he will be glad to correspond with any one interested.

Diplomats in Washington Not Alarmed
by Russo-British Crisis.

Washington, Oct 2S.-Diplomats in
Washington view the Russo-British
situation with unusual complacency,
even after reading the London dis
patches telling of the extreme state of
public feeling there. Inquiry at the
embassies develops the fact that the
chancellories of Europe are not yet
alarmed at the situation, as the Euro
pean ambassadors and ministers ars
not receiving advices on the subject,
with the exception of course of Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador. And
even he has not yet learned of the
official explanation of Rear Admiral
Rojestvensky. A prominent member
of the diplomatic corps said:
'The British public is becoming
FESTIVE at the delay in the receipt of
the Russian commanders explanation.
But the British foreign Office will
scarcely allow itself to be forced into
rash action by popular excitement.

TROUBLE AFFECTS !
WALL STREET
Anglo Russian Furry Felt More Acutely In
New York and Stocks Are Shoveled
On the Market.

New York, Oct. 2S.-The acute crisis
IN the relations between Great Britain
and Russia was responsible for bad
break in the prices of stocks. Very
heavy blocks were thrown upon the
market of all the prominent issues,
the opening transactions running from
1,00O to 1000 shares, the latter in Rock
Island. The weakness extended to the
whole market, but the leading interna-
tionally listed stocks were most con-
spicuous, owing to the added pressure
OF selling for foreign account. Few of
the prominent stocks escaped an
opening loss of point and in some
cases the decline extended to two or
over. Pressed Steel Car was forced
down ~, with the added weight of
disappointment over the passing of
the dividend. Long strings of 1000
share blocks and upwards were dealt
In in many stocks after the opening
and the opening losses were consider
ably extended. The market showed
considerable disorder and excitement.
London sold heavily in this market,
unloading fully $4,000 shares in the
first half hour, according to reports.
Much of this was doubtless for &C
count of other European .centers such
