WIVES ASK ALIMONY
 PENDING DIVORCE.
lman Elionsky Ordered to Pay S7 Per Week-other Matters at Short Cal endar Session.

At the short calendar session of the superior court here on Friday morning there were five of the cases on the mo- ton list that were postponed, while Judge Shumway heard thea rguments in five others.
 In the divorce suit of Rebecca s. Elionsky vs. Iman Elionsky, both of New London, the court ordered MT. Elionsky to pay his wife $7 per week from date until further notice from the court. She claimed that she was with out support and that her husband was worth $20.000. and is in business in New London.
 In Sheehan vs. Perrin and wife, a bond of $75 was ordered filed in two weeks.
 Answer in two weeks was ordered in Rash vs. Avery. In Button, administra- tor, vs. Button, leave to amend an- swer was granted and the costs re- mitted.
 On hearing in damages in the case of Mary Morgan of Waterford vs. Will liam G. Morgan of Waterford, judg- ment in the sum of s76425 was given. In the complaint it was alleged that MT. Morgan wrongfully secured a bank book belonging to Mary Morgan, with drawing and converting to his own use the sum of S730.
 In the case of the Jewett City Sav- ings bank vs. Philip E. Hendrick and wife, in which supplemental judgment was asked, Judge Shumway continued the matter for a week. Property in Taftville that was sold by order of the court was involved. The amount from the sale was $4,53542 short of being enough to pay the mortgage and ex- penses. At the sale the property was bid in by the bank, which had a mortgage on 1t secured by two notes, one of Ss,000 signed by Hendrick and wife and the other of $5,000 signed by A. A. Beekwith and J. c. Worth. At 1 tOrney 4, M. Brown said that Messrs. Beckwith and Worth had paid no at- | tention to the notice of the sale which he had given them, but they were now opposing the supplemental judgment. Asked for AIimeny. Grace L. Main of North Stenington, who is suing for divorce from her hus- | band, Leonard R. Main, asked for ali- I mony pending thet rial of her case. l She claimed her husband was so cruel l she could not live with him. He owns
