who cut her throat terribly with a
razor in fit of jealous rage at Dola

somewhat surprised the magistrate,
court officials apd other spectators
who were acquainted with the case.
I Mrs. Pessi, who is prisoner in

of the next grand jury on the charge
of murderously assaulting Mrs.
Oliverio, swore out warrant against
her victim and Frank Zanni, Mrs.
Pessi's husband, charging them with
living together in unlawful cohabit-
alton. This, it is alleged, is what
sctuated the assault on the oliverio
woman. Mrs. Pessi came to this

to each other in their own language
and after a big pow-wow, marked
with considerable gesticulation and
deep emotional expression, they de-
cided to become friends.
Mrs. Pessi appeared to be real
sorry for having preferred the
charge against Mrs. oliverio and the
formers spouse and requested that
the warrant be withdrawn. This
deeply affected the other woman's
heart and they both rushed into each
others arms. embraced and kissed
each other in a very affectionate and
tender manner.
After arrangements were made
among the parties Interested for a
settlement of the costs of the case,
the warrant was dismissed by the
magistrate.

SPENT ENTIRE DAY CON.
FERRING WITH DELEGATES

THE HAGUE, Aug. 5.-Joseph H.
Choate and James Brown Scott of
the American delegation to the peace
conference, spent the entire day to-
day comforting with leading delegates
about the American proposition for
the establishment of permanent
court of arbitration at The Hague,
which is to come up for discussion
before a special committee.
The institution of a permanent
court is definitely assured, even If
the difficulties arising from the ap-
pointment of the judges should pre-
vent the adhesion of some of the
smaller countries. The court will be
established by the great powers,
America and Great Britain alone hav-
ing enough cases to present to keep
the court busy for several years. The
influence and the reputation of the
court through its sentences, 1t Is be-
lieved, will gradually attract the
countries which might refrain from
taking part In its establishment.

MATTER To COME
BEFORE THE COUNCIL
WILL HOLD IMPORTANT SESSION
TONIGHT-MAY BUILD JOINT
JAIL.

There will be a meeting of the city
council tonight, when various matters
of importance to Ely will come up
for discussion by the city fathers.
The ordinances will be taken up,
section by section. At each meeting
the council considers part of the or
dinances, the task being a big one.
1t will be some time before the va
rious laws are adopted and there no
doubt will be numerous changes in
some that have been proposed.
The council is anxious to meet with
the county commissioners and con-
slider the proposition of erecting a
new jail. The present county Jail is
little more than shed, and the fact
that several prisoners have easily
made their escape during the past
few months is evidence enough to
warrant the commissioners to con-
denim the structure.
1--WE are in favor of combining
with the county and erecting a joint
JAIL said Mayor Clark to News
representative yesterday. "One Jail
would be sufficiently large for both
the city and county and the expense
of constructing 1t as well as maintain
ing the institution, would be greatly
lessened. 1t is certain, however, that
we should have new prison"
1t is stated that many cities Of a
population of from 10000 to $4,000
people have joint Jail in which both
the city and county prisoners are
kept The jailers keep separate ac-
counts of the expenses of both de-
partments and the city and county
pay the bills accordingly.
