Pfcniiar Caso of Domestic Infelicity Passed Upon by the Supreme Court. When Sirs. Iloloua Came Into the Room Mrs. Holmes, Senior, Would Open the Windows to Purify the Atmosphere. Many Criminals Dealt with by Jnde Laker, of tiie Federal Court. Picas of tho Indicted Asking a Divorca from "Johnny Eodenz Miscellaneous Hatters in the Courts. MOTI1E It-IN-L AW CASE. Queer Domestic Story That Has Gone through the Supreme Court. In the case of Emma E. Holmes against Marian L. Holmes, appealed hy the plaintiff to set aside a demurrer sustained by the court of Jackson county, Judgo Olds, of the Supreme Court, yesterday, reversed the decision of the lower court. The suit was brought in tho Jackson Circuit Court by Emma E. Holmes against her mother-in-law, Mrs. Mariah Holmes, whom sho charged with having alienated her husband's affections and of instilling much misery into her life sinco her marriage in 18S9. In her complaint sho makes the serious charge that the virago Mrs. Holmes, mere, applied tho appellation of "Dutch girl'' to her, and that when she chanced to entar the mother-in-law's presnce. tho latter was in the habit of opening doers and windows in order that the atmosphere impregnated with tho daughter's odious presence might escape. For the humiliation snflered at the hands of tho elder Mrs. Holmes, and tho loss of the husband, the plaintiff demanded damages to the amount of glO.COO. In tSe demurrer tiled by the defendant that the plaintiff "had no legal capacity to sue," and that "she did not state facts suQiciont to coustitnto a cause for action," the lower court decided favorably. Judtro Olds hold that tho only question to be considered was as to whether or not a married woman can maintain an action in her own name for allinating the aUections or a husband, and decided, in giving his opinion, that the lower court erred in sustaining the demurxer. FEDERAL COUItT. Judge Baker Kept Bnsy Yrslerday with Criminal Cases. The United States Court was busy yesterday wjth the criminal cases on the docket. William Miller, a well-to-do farmer of Burlington, Carroll county, felt tho heavy hand of tho law in nnusnal severity. Ho conceived tho idea of dofrar.ding the government of postage revenuo by using postage stamps, that had been canceled, a second time. Tho cancellation marks ho removed by using soxno chemical. Tho deception was not a clever one, and easily led to detection. It happens that Miller, who is a widower, has been wooing Miss Xannio Shs.w, of Middlefork, and was engaged in correspondence with her. Un ono occasion she wroto him a letter, and he replied, using the dociored stamp that had been takon from her letter. Tho postmaster at Middlefork was instructed to obtain possession of tho envelope, and Miller's indiotment in part was based unon this evidence. Tnere wer two other counts. Miller attempted to disprove the facts at tho trial yesterday, tut was convicted by tho jury. .Indo Hakar, in pawing sentence, remarked that owing to the defendant's extensive property, a line alone would be no adequate punishment, and that, therefore, ho would make the sentence includo six months in jail at Coblesville. The lice was made $1 and costs. Judge Maker said he considered the caso a very reprehensible one. Miller was taken to jail. John L. Goad was also taught a useful lesson in observance of law and in civility. Assistant District Attorney Cockrum called attention to the fact that the misdemeanor is one causing the authorities a sreat deal of trouble and that there was need that an example be sot. Uo.id bought a saloon In lioonville and presumed to run it under the late owner's license1, thus avoiding the government tax. Hocausedtheot'iicersmuch annoyance and trouble by running away and was afterward exceedingly surly when approached. '1 he inciviiity and disrespect of law was no doubt tho occasion of the exemplary severity of tn punishment. Judge Baker made the sentence sixty days in jail and a tine of 100 and costs. Kit Clark, keeper of a place of evil, in Mnncie, was fined $10 and costs for selling liquor unlawfully. Deputy Marshal Nation was entertained by her with beer at 1 a bottle, and tho indictintmt followed. Charles V. Baldwin, who was indicted for obstructing the Wabash river at a regular steamboat landing by skills, eta, was lined $10 nnd costs upon a plea of guilty. Judge Elliott was his attorney. Jacob Flobre, of Cincinnati, pleaded guilty to selliua liquor unlawfully, and was lined $00 and costs. Tho defendant, with six others of the Knights of Francis JoseDh. of Cincinnati, conducted an excursion, July 10, to Magnesia Springs. Liquor was sold without res poet to the United States law. On representation that tho proceeds of the excursion and picnic inured to the eooiety, and not to individuals, the court agretd to nolle as to six of tho cases, and tine as to the one. Charles Tobias, of Nappaneo,' had been indicted for robbing the mails. Yesterday a llaw was discovered in the indictment, and the case wan dismissed. Tobias was remanded under 80 bond to await another meeting of the grand jury. MAKING T11EIK FLEAS. Culprits Indicted hy tho Grand Jury Appear in the Criminal Court. The culprits indicted by tho present grand jury were arraigned in the Criminal Court room yesterday, and pleaded to tho indictments against them. George Hubbard, indicted for potit larceny, waived arraignment and pleaded not guilty. The indictment against Hubbard charges him with the theft of a pocketbook, a gold tooth-pick and 5 cents in money from Martha Komberg. He was arrested upon a North Pennsylvania-street car for a theft said to have been comxffitted in tho transfer car. William Wells, a young man occupying rooms over Schaofer's grocery, at tho corner of Meridian and liny street, pleaded cot guilty to an indictment charging him with petit larceny and burglary About two weeks ago Schaefer lost a quantity of groceries and a small amount of money by a buralary at his grocery.

JOHNNY" nUDlINZ'S TROUOLES.

His Wife, Who S100d.b7.llim In the A?ret DiClccltj-, Now Sues for Divorce. John T. Bndenz, a once famous ward politician of the turbulent Fourteenth, was yesterday made defendant in a salt for divorce. In her complaint tiled in thot Superior Court yesterday, his wife, Lizzie i C. Budenz, charges him with failing to provide and cruel and inhuman treatment. She asks an allowance from the court for money with which to prosecute the action and also for 300 alimony. She alleges that the defendant has possession of a lot of household goods, located at No. 579 Shelby street, a portion of which belongs to her, and asks a restraining order to prevent him from disposing of them. As a last request to the court she asks permission to resume her maiden name of Lizzie Abromet. It will be remembered that several months ago Bndenz, who was for years cashier at L. & Ay res' s dry-goods storerested under a cloud for several weeks while an examination of his books was being made. Budenz was not arrested like a common felon, but consented to restraint aud thus avoided actual arrest. Ho occupied a room at the Grand Hotel and was iu constant charge of a detective employed by tho firm. During all this timo his wife remained steadfast and true and was very attentive to him. After tho storm blew over, however, and the ditticulty between Budenz aud his employers was settled, ho became abusive And his wife alleges iu her complaint that he need such language to- A wards her aud abusad her in other ways to such an extent that sho was compelled to leave him. BEFORE TIIE CADL Booth Tried and Acquitted Dawdell Bouud Over Held for l'erjory. In th8 Police Court, yesterday morning, William Booth was tried and acquitted of assault and battery upon John L. Spaulding, of Haughville. Last Saturday night Spaulding was found lying in tho snow, in a semi-conscious condition, with a battered head. He could remember nothing about how he received the injuries. He had started to collect some rent from Booth, who was his tenant. It was suspected that an altercation aroso over tho collection of rent and that Booth assaulted him. Booth was arrested, and admitted knocking Spaulding down, but claimed that ho did so iu self-defense. Henry Dawdell was held for the action of the grand jury for burglary and grand larceny. He was arrested by patrolmen McGuir and Thornton while trying to soli a quantity of clothing and jewelry stolen from the house of W. H. Casswell, at No. CI North Liberty street. Frank Fraer was held for perjury. Ho was arrested for a trivial oflonse. and, in the hearing ot tho evidence, he wa9 contradicted by three witnesses. V Manning' Sleigh. Causes Trouble. Deputy County Clerk Manning owned a sleigh which caused several persons trouble yesterday. Manning had no uso for the sleigh himself, and thought tho present "snow-bound'' period a good timo to dispose of it. File Clerk Sprincsteca took a fancy to tho sleigh, as did likewise one Samuel Munuon. Both bad talked purchase tg Manning, and early yesterday morning Munson went to Manning's hous9 beforo tho latter had risen, and said he Lnd come after the sleuth. Manning thought the voice outside belonged to Springsteen, ond told the possessor of it whero he could lind the sleigh. When he learned that it was not .his fellow-clerk that had coma after the sleigh, Manuin? proceeded on a hunt for Munson to collect. He was put off for a few hour by the latter. At the end of the time, Munson not appearing, Mauuing tiled suit beforo 'Squlro Daniels to replevin tho slciph. When the writ wag served upon Munson ho hastened to the court-house to etlect a compromise, in which ho was Muccessful, and, after paying the price demanded and the court costs.

TIS LIKE BANQUO'S GHOST Question of Interest on tho School Hoard's Funds Will Not Down. Jlr. Vcnnegut Presents Another Letter on the Subject That Stirs Up tho Animah v Cioyf col's Claim disposed Of. The meeting of the School Board last evening wan enlivened by Mr. Vonneatut's usual communication stirring up tho Democratio animals on the subject of turning tho interest on the funds in the hands of Treasurer Adam into tho treasury. Mr. Vocnegut's commuuication was as follows: To tho iiember et tha Echoed Board ct IndianapcKa: About a year asro I introduced a resolution for the systematic Introduction into our jmbiio FchooU of moral instruction at tho elimination of aU clerical creeds. Mr. John V. Freuzel encouraged mo to ajrttnte this proposition, ond I thanlc him for it. I lai 1 helore you the synopsis of such instruction as adoDtedby tho Republic of France. The matter was referred to a committee, aud cothimr has been heard of It since. 1 refer to thu time principally In order to direct the hoard's attention to tho Importance of Kood examples for moral conduct of the pupils as exercised by the teachers, principals, superintendents ond members of the School Board. A very essential feature of morality is truth, and that includes the falUllineut of proraifea not only whe.u It pays, but oven when the fulfillment of a ftromise involves the Jos of prolit. I would ierewlth oujoin it upon the members of our board that they should eerve without comEtsnatlon. By tho present arrangement souieody draws a compensation in tho form of interest oa tlio board's treasury. There 1 a recent record of three members o! this board promising Interest, but it does not pay to fulilll it. The prpmiso Is not kept, and tho breach of promise is sanctioned by our president and tivo other members. Even tho iliecal puppresslou of tha discussion has been approved by their personal vote, viva voce, at our meeting Deo. 10, 1892. f therefore move that the board express its confession of having covered itself with shame, and second, that this motion bo laid on tho table. The literary production of Mr. Vonnegnt provoked a lively discussion. Mr. Loeper thought this foolishness had gone far enough, aud feared that the public, reading the newspaper accounts, would think tho board composed of a lot of school-boys. Mr. Vonnegut replied with some spirit and refused to let Mr. Kusse ask him a question, for fear he would lose tho string." KOTIl'S BRUTAL INSULT. Mr. Roth was somewhat personal in the questions he put to Mr. Vonnesut, one of his queries being whether bo (Vonnegut) had received a bribe from Williams, the former treasurer, to keep his mouth shut when Williams was receiving and retaining tho interest. After a long and interesting discussion, Mr. Vonnegut's production was laid on the table. The question of the employment of janitors was the causo of a lively tilt between Messrs. Adam and Kusse on one sido of the committee on grounds and buildings and Mr. Collin cn the other. Mr. Adam o lie red a reoort announcing the transfer of janitor Ornn Cory from school No. 1 to school No. 11, the Appointment of Gus Moppert as janitor at Mo. 1 and the appointment of John Warrenburg as janitor ut Mo. 21. As against this report, which was signed by Adam and ltusse, Mr. Colli n presented a minority report recommending the apoointinent of Joseph Stenimans at No. 11. Mr. Collin said that No. 11 was in his district, and in insisting on the appointment of Stemmans ho was conforming to a precedent, to which Adam had subscribed, that a member had the right to control such appointments in his territory. Mr. Collin said further that one janitor recommended by Mr. Adadi had been dismissed for drnnkenness and another, bad been proven clearly Incompetent, The minority report was rejected and tho majority report adopted. CLAYPOOL CLAIM COMPROMISED. Mr. Kusse, from tho finance committee, reported a compromise with Fdward F. Claypool by the terms of which all matters in controversy over the property in dispute between the board and Mr. Claypool are to bo adjusted. It is agreed thatthe property opposite the Denison Hotel is to bo deeded to Mr. Claypool. who is to receive $0,000 for rent, the receipts for tho payments made by tho board for street work on Ohio and Pennsylvania streets, amounting to 81. 5', and possession ol tbo property on J uuo l.bl:; in return for which Mr. Claypool waives all claim lor damages. The report was adopted, the rules suspended and a warrant ordorad drawn for tho amount stated. Mr. bcott, from the library committee, presented the semi-annual report of tho librarian. For the lasf six mouths of 162 tho number of bocks taken out wr.a 14r,7C5; for tho correspondiugperiod of litfl. 1.' 1.155.

Of. this amount $14l.713.fil was to repay a temporary loan and 81.237 was on account of tho libraiy building fund. A petition for a nicht school nt reboot No. 23, from 7 to 1) o'clock each evening, was roferred to the committee on teachers and salaries. On motion of Mr. Loeper the rules were suspended, and seulntor Bach was allowed a warrant for 000 on tho figure to bo placed over the library door.

Mr. Lopir reported that the firm of Otters Williams, of Dayton, O., cicbitectsfcrthe new library, had gone into tho hand4 of" n receiver, which fact accounted lor curiam vexatious delays in building.

FEES OF COUNTY OFFICERS

Sheriff Einraett Presents a Rill !o the Commissioners for Prisoners Board. Othfr Sheriffs Over the Slate in a Turmoil Organizin!; a holly to Overthrew the Fea and Salary Law. Robert Emraett, thenewly-elocted sheriff, submitted his first monthly board bill to the County Commisbionera yesterday. It shows tint during the month beginning Dec. 10, the timo when he assumed control of the crTice, ho has taken caro of 112 prisoiierd at the jail, for which he has charged tip days' board, amounting to fGOO.eo, with an addition or S30.C0 for 'in" aud "ouV foes. There was nothing oat of tho usual in the bill, but, it being the first to be presented under tho new fee-and-ealary law, the commissioners discussed it, and the county attorney, Mr. Brown, wa3 called into it. A copy of tho law was perused, and it was found that no provision had been made in it for payment of the sheriff in keeping the county's criminals. It brought up quite an animated discussion on what should be done with the report. It was finally allowed on tho construction that the new law did not repeal any portion 'of the old ono, except that which contacted. The now law says that the eheriiT shall collect fees only where service is rendered, and that such fees shall bo turned into the county treasury. The board bill can hardly be construed as "services rendered." and if it wero tho amount collected for it would have to bo turned over os stated. It was. at ono timo, that the sheriff made a large portion of his salary out of the nrolits gained in tho feediug of prisoners. He is allowed 40 cents per day for each, and the estimated cost of the iood served has varied from 14 to 20 cents. Mr. Emmett. however, claims that it is costing him nearly the stipulated Bum 40 coats to feed his prisoners, and that, should ho bo unable to collect his bill, he would be larirely in tho hole. This matter is not all which Mr. Emmott is "at sea" on, and a large majority of the sberills in the State are riding the waves in the same boat with him. As was shown in tho Circuit Court a few days ao. when Mr. Kuimett asked for the appointment of a riding bail if!', the claim is mado that thero is no other way than for tho sheritt' to lose money on his situation. The law provides that his salary shall bo $13,000 a year, out of which must como all of his expenses for the hiring of deputies and all incidentals. The fees which he collects are turned into the county treasury and tho law supposes that they will bo sufficient to pay him. In caso he does not earn 13.000, he dees not got it, and if ho earns moro he does not get that. If he earns but $5,000. that is all ho gets, yet has no assistance in payinir his faro or bis expenses. Mr. Hmmettand his chief deputy, Mr. Corbaly, have ligured in the probable expenses of the Marion county otiico and estimate it at fully $1,003 a month and possibly more. That would leave but a slim $1,003 as a salary for tho shenli" to live on, pay his election expenses and other obligations. Mr. Fmmett claims that he has taken in but since ho has been in office, nearly a month, and has had tb borrow money richt aud left to pay his force and run his otlice. At that rate he is greatly alarmed as to tho outcome when ho shall have completed his term. It is also reported that thero has been a hitch in his collecting what the law allows him for transporting prisoners to the penitentiary north. This used to bo one of the greatest sources of revenne to sheriffs under tho old law. It has been estimated that 6ome of thoso in Marion county havo made as high as 7.000 and $3,000 a year out of it. That ia what Mr. Kiiimett's predecessor made. That law provided for tho payment of 15 cents per milo for the transportation, tho new ono says, "actual expenses certltied and sworn to," and passed through various hands until it reaches the Auditor of State. Sherilt'Emmett is but ono amocs many, as has been stated before, who is worried as to how his term will leave him. From all over the State word is beinix received that an organized elfort will be made by not only the sherids, but county clerks, auditors and recorders, who are also feeling the cutting oil of fn fees, to have the fee and salary law repK d, or at least greatly modihed.
