LIES, SAYS MRS. MADDEN.
Wife Accusea Horseman of Fraud
and Giving False Testimony.
[Bx Telegraph to The Tribune

Cincinnati, Sept. discharges of fraud and maxi
ing oath to false statements were made to-day by
Mrs. Anna Louise Madden ana her attorneys In a
plea for an injunction. filed vita Judge J. B. Swing
to prevent John z. Madden the turfman, from pro-
ceeding with his divorce and injunction against
Mrs. Madden. Mrs. Madden's injunction plea made
by Attorneys William L. Dickson and John C.
Healy, was sprung a surprise, and caused such
a fierce legal battle that the entire session was
taken up, and there time left for testimony.
Mrs Madden charged that Madden's Kentucky
divorce and injunction suit filed for the fraud
ulent purpose OF embarrassing her suit IN Cincinnati
for alimony and custody of the children. and rem
dering abortive and vaIueless any judgment by
Judge Swing The charge made that Madden
purposed fraudu!ently to obtain divorce by falso
testimony, and wllfully made oath to false and
fraudulent statements.
Ex-senator Lindsay, for Mr.. Madden. denounced
the injunction plea n grand stand play to bring
into the Cincinnati issues that had been It
all the time. Dickson and Healy declared that
Maddens attorneys intend to take default judgment
next week for divorce, and thereby hamper Mrs.
Maddens case.
At the end of the arguments Judge Swing took
the matter under advisement. The understanding
arrived at, however, that whatever the result
of the hearing in Lexington, the status of the ALI
mony suit here would not be changed.

VICKSBURG IN NEED OF AID.
Negroes Unable to Leave Stricken Town or
to Obtain Work.

At vicksburg an appeal for aid for colored people
who are unable to get work because Of the quar-
antine and the fever there has been made public.
The appeal says:
Vicksburg, with twenty-five thousand people.
about twelve thousand of whom are colored, Is
locked up in a quarantine. Large numbers or her
colored population engaged in domestic service
and still larger number depend for livelihood
upon work on farms in the vicinity Of this city.
For fifteen days this city has been and for the
next forty days certainly will be surrounded by
quarantine guards, who allow no one to pass out.
The only way to get out of the city now is on a
through train with a ticket far north as Chi
cago. The attempt to stop at any Mississippi point
would, in many instances, mean death.
Large numbers of people who employ servants
left some time ago Many of the enterprises
have had to shut down account Of the fact that
the people who are engaged in running them have
left the city The cotton fields in which these
laborers usually make their living in the fall and
winter are waiting for them but it is death to at
tempt to get out to them A very serious situation
confronts than one-half of the labOring
classes in the city and it's environments. LEGAL
effort has been largely taxed in employing them to
clean up Oil and fumgate. and little or nothing
can be expected except from abroad The cotton,
upon which all life depends, cannot be harvested
or brought to market, and thus one calamity has
brought another
Your contributions can be sent to H L. Slaugh-
ter who is the treasurer Of the committee, Mr..
Slaughter is cashier of the Lincoln Savings Bank,
the oldest establishment of Its kind south OF the
Ohio River.
