Mi's- McKinsey's Misery-

About a year ago Mrs. Mary E. McKinsey was granted a divorce from her husband Joseph McKinsey, and given the custody of their two children, James and Jessie, aged three and five years. Soon thereafter she linked her fortune with that of '•Shorty1' Stevenson and the pair have been living together for bettor and worse ever since, principally the latter. In her blind infatuation for Shorty the mother seemed to lose sight of her children who, according to the neighbors, had to hustle for themselves.

Last Thursday a gentleman appeared before Judge Harney and told of the children's suffering, whereupon the court issued an ordor that the Sheriff secure the children and deliver them to tho Orphans' Home. When Deputy Agnew appeared upon tho scene the mother cursed him soundly, but nevertheless the children were foun and given in charge of Matron Hiner. For a while the little ones cried bitterly for their mother, but a warm supper and good clothing brought them around and they are now serenely happy.

Death of an Eccentric Mail. Last Wednesday Samuel Smith, an eccentric old man, died at his home four miles oast of Darlington. Speaking of his peculiarities a correspondent to the Indianapolis Sentinel says: "He weighed over three hundred pounds and had not been off his own farm for twertyfive years previous to his death. He had been one time quite prominent in tho political and social affairs of the county, but took a slight at some buplic occurrence during tho war, and retiredto his farm, refusing ever to step beyond his boundary lines. He refused to associate with others, and his very existence had all but been forgotten save by his family. He lived to himself and never went abroad, even to vote."

The case of Elia- Brown vs. Margaret J. Brown which was taken to the Supremo Court from this county, Judge Rabb presiding, has been decided affirm ing the decision of tho lower courtJudge llacknoy giving the decision says: "When a deed to a husband and wife recites that the grantors having contrib uted equally in the purchaso of the property it is the express understands and agreement that it shall be heid by them in common and not in joint tenan cy, the grantees will be held tenants in common and not by entirety. 2.

The Gray Haired Matrimonial Veteran

Sues Fer Divorce.

The Buit of Mrs. George 1). Nichols, of Linden, for support, is still frnsh tho memory of REVIEW readers. Mis. Nichols' story was an extremely pathetic one, but if what George says in true it's a "horse of another color" altogether. Last Tuesday Mr. Nichols came to tho city and through his attorneys, White, Humphreys & Reeves, filed suit for a divorce from his wife, Elizabeth. The complaint is a volumnious one in which George makeB some ugly allegations. He claims that prior to their marriage she annoyed him so persistently with her attentions that he married her to free himself of the pest that the marriage occurred on March 21, 1892, that in following September, the fair Elizabeth attended a camp meeting at Indianapolis where she met a wolf in sheep's clothing named Robert Marshall of wborn she became greatly enamored, Upon her return home she talked constantly of Robby and communicated the startling fact to the neighbors that she loved him with a madly passionate devotion.

Soon after tbis she again met Robert at Frankfort where they spent several days together. Later they met at Rcachdale where their illicit love making wat continued. The plaintiff alleges that during each of these meetings tho pair were guilty of thecrimeof adultery. Soon after the Roachdalo affair Marshall brazenly and defiantly camo to their home at Lindon and installed himself as a member of tho family that from Bibby's precious person there emitted a stench and foul smoko that plaintiff could not live in the sam« house. When plaintiff complained to his wife she becamo violent. She declared that she no longer cared to live with hin:, that she loved Robert and meant to stand by him. Sho then cursed plaintiff soundly, ordering him from the house, calling him a har and stinking, good for nothing man. That

Elizabeth and Marshall have since and are now living in open and notorious adultery. He declares that a few days before they were married Elizabeth sold land to tho amount of over 100 acres, of which money he never seen one cent that tho defendant is not needy but that she and Marshall are now living on the fat of tho ln^id on tho sunny side of easy street. IIo prays the court Tor an absolute divorce. Both parties have passed their 60th mile post.

Goose Nibble Pleaiantries

Tuesday afternoon Mayor Bandle was called upon to settle another Goose Nibble war—a regular weekly duty however. Mrs. Michael Gerbrick's palatial residence occupies tho only knoll in Goose Nibble. Tho gentlo decline from tho kitchen door to tho stream below affords most excellent coasting territory. The youth of the vicinity soon perfected a dolitrhtful toboggan slide aud for many days and nights made tho welkin ring with their happy shouts. Dame Gerbrick soon grew tired of their boistrous merriment and on Tuesday morning treated the slide to a largo dose of ashes and salt. When the "kids" realized that their sporting ground had been despoiled they determined upoa an awful revenge. They accordingly chose from among their number the daunty, dauntless Dannie Quinlan, who has already acquired some notoriety by hi deeds of valor. Dannie straightway sought the Gerbrick mansion and challenged the noble lady to deadly combat.

Dan landed his deadly right squarely in the woman's eye and claimed first blood. ThiB was more than the good woman could stand and grabbing for an ax started for Dannie's bacon whe found refuge in flight. Mrs. Gerbrick then had Dannie arrested, but on account of his tender years he was released after a sonnd reproof.
