THE CITY COURT.
Aged Man Charged With Non-Sup-
 port To- Day.

William Wallace is a pretty old man to be charged in court with failing to support his wife and child. His present venture on the matrimo- nial sea is his third, and one child, Irene, aged seven years, is the only issue. Wallace's son, Edward, aged 20, testified that Mrs Wallace was forever saying to her husband, You asn't got the courage to order me out" This of course was denied by Mrs Wallace's daugher, Katie Foley. On the night of July 15, according to the testimony of Wallace and his son, Mrs Wallace broke loose in the house and smashed things right and left on sideboard. Then she ran out on the street and holding up a bottle said there was carbolic acid in 1t and she was going to end her life. while a crowd of 300 gathered round Of course Mrs Wallace denied this It was quite evident, however. that there was quite fuss in the house on the evening stated.
 Are you willing to go back and live with your husband?' Mrs Wal lace was asked this morning.
 Well. am afraid to live with him because he often told me that he has planted two wives and he'd plant me, too." was the woman's answer.
 On the morning of July IS while her husband was at work and her step-son. Edward Wallace, was sleep ing, Mrs Wallace packed up all her own furniture and according to her husbands evidence, some of his, too, and left him, telling her 7-year-old daughter Irene to go down to her sisters. Three weeks ago Mrs Wal lace kidnapped Irene. She saw her playing with Florence Kenny on a veranda on Hamilton avenue and she coaxed the two little girls to a drug store and gave them soda. Then she induced Irene and her chum to her house where she locked up Irene and sent the Kenny girl home. It came out in the testimony that Wallace has some $3,000 in bank.
 Judge Peasley decided that Wall lace should pay $4 week for six months and made an order to that effect. William Griffin created a row in Mrs Mary Mead's boarding house on Vine street last evening and was fin- ed s7 and costs. and for intoxication Patrick Guilfoile was committed to jail for thirty days.
