WOMEN WANT DIVORCE.
Two More Want to Be Separated
 From Their Husbands,

On the grounds of intemperance and intOlerable cruelty, Elsie G. Dickerman has brought suit for divorce against Harry Dickerman. Mrs Dickerman claims her husband lives in Water. bury, but in what part she is not aware. She claims to have been mar. ried on December 1, 1901, and that through intemperance and cruelty she was forced to leave her husband. Her counsel is Attorney Cassidy and the suit is returnable to the superior court the first Tuesday in April. Mir Dick nrman also asks to have her maiden name restored.
 Two weeks of married life with his second wife, Margaret Lyons King, sutficed for Hubert King. not that he was tired of her. but he was afraid that she had heard he had wife living in New York from whom he had not been divorced. The second marriage took place on May 10, 1900. and two weeks later King skipped out. The first week of their married life was passed in Waterbury, where they were married. and the second in New York. To-day Mrs King filed divorce suit in tue superior court, her counsel being Attorney Kennedy. She alleges deser ton and wants her maiden name re- stored to her in view of the fact that she was never a wife legally.

MAIL STOLEN.
Pouch Supposed to Contain Money Orders and Reg
 iStered Mail.

New Haven, Mar l3--On Friday night last q mail pouch supposed to have contained a valuable assortment of money orders and registered mall, was stolen from the depot at Say brook Junction. This is one of a num- Der of daring robberies which have taken place ill this locality during the past month. The general store or Hon James H. Day was entered about month ago and cash to the amount of $60 taken. Shortly after wards the depot at Saybrook Junction was broken into and SIS in bills and some tickets taken and a short time ago the depot was again entered and tickets from New York to Boston were stolen
 Railroad detectives and government inspectors have examined the scene of the mail pouch robbery and believe that they have located the parties concerned. From the appearance of the last robbery it would appear that the perpetrators have considerable knowledge of railroad matters.

GIRL IN JAIL.
Held as Witness Against Rev. J. E. Cordova of
 New Jersey.

New Brunswick, N. J, Mar 13-The trial of J. r. Cordova, the unfrocked minister and formerly pastor of the 'Conklin Methodist Episcopal church, of South River who is charged by his wife with assault and battery and abandonment as d result of two sen sational developments with daughter of the village blacksmith, was begun to-day, Mrs Cordova having declined to withdraw her charges.
 Miss Julia Bowne, the young woman with whom Couova twice fled, has consistently declined to forsake him and was brought into court to-day as an extremely unwilling witness. She has been kept in jail as q witness awaiting the trial. Her father tried again yesterday to induce her to ac- cept the bail he had offered for her release as soon as she was brought here prisoner but she emphatically declined to accept her release while COrdova was held a prisoner.
 Miss BOwne, an attractive young woman, was d member of the choir of the Conklin church and took an ac- tive part in it's work. Cordova met her two years ago. Last May he withdrew $1,00O from the bank. sent $40 to his wife and their. several children and eloped with Miss Bowne. At the height of the hue and cry which ensued they returned, Miss Bowne to her fathers home and Cor dova to his own. In remarkable public letter Cordova attempted to ex, cuse the conduct of the girl and de- tended himself from the accusation of deserting her. A few weeks ago they again eloped. From Washington Cordova sent letters inviting his wife to bring suit for divorce. Instead she caused his arrest for abandonment and assault and he was brought back here for trial. Miss BOwne still pro. claims her fidelity to Cordova and he declares his willingness to accept punishment if Miss Bowne is un. harmed.
