divotoe e*w of AtnandA A. Binfonl William P. Binford, brought to Ibl* countjr on m change of %-enuf> from Hancock county, has been on trial In the Circuit court for three days. More than vne hundred people from Hancock county hrero in court to-day. The Binfords are a •well-known family. The defendant filed a tro*g-comj>ia:nt eoon after the original complaint was filed. Thla mornlny the .attorneys for the •defense attempted to amend their cross* complaint bv giving specific acts on the i*irt of the wife. Judge Hrown ruled that the cross-complaint could not now be amended and the evidence was not heard. The original complaint sets forth that the plaintiff ami defendant were married In March, 187*. tfse plaintiff was then Bfteen years of age and the defendant thirty. The defendant at that time wore a wig which concealed his age, but immediately after hfs marriage he discarded the Wig. to the humiliation of his .trife. The defendant was of a miserly j 'disposition, slovenly and dirty In his Aires* and ifcauner; he persisted In wearing shoes without socks, would not Lchange his shirt to go to church on Suniriay, and at no time would he comb his ■whiskers. The defendant repeatedly {charged the plaintiff with having been a jpauper and not his ettual socially, and humiliated her in every way. The plaintiff also alleges that on several occasions when sick she borrowed money Jfro.T* her husband, and wan forced^to pay fitlfltt 8 per cent, interest for It. She alleged, further, th.it after the marriage She defendant let his farm run down and tils cattle to die from abuse and starvation. He would kill diseased hogs and use the food on his own table, and when Ills wife and children could not eat it. would tel? them that was all that they could have. The complaint sets put that the defendant Is the owner of three hundred acres of land, valued at Ihi.OQO. and baa ROOM worth of personal property. The plaintiff asks 17,non alimony, the custody of the four -children and an allowanc# of $400 a year for their support. To this complaint the defendant filed a Atmss-coroplaint. charging cruel and Inhuman treatment; that he had been beaten with a club, and that his clothes had been torn ffom his body. He also charges infidelity. On the witness stand the brother of the defendant testified that he did not think the defendant's land •worth more than $a> an acre, but he admitted that he had sold him a part of that iwme land nine years ago tor $15 nn acre. He also saW that the farm adjoining his brother's had sold for $5u an acre, anc that hia brother’s farm had been appraised at the same price some time ago, when ha desired to make a loan on it. While he was testifying, One farmer whispered ip another In the court-room: "If Uncle Etamny was selling that farm, it would be worth everjb cen t ot W an » crc " ~mm BASE-BALL The Bricklayers* Approve of It—Kffeet of Pennant Winning.

The Bricklayers' Union last night passed a resolution in favor of Sunday ball, and a copy has been sent to Manager Watkins. Other labor organisations hove notified the manager Uuti they, will take similar action. 1A Western League paper,in commenting on ♦he schedule Says: The local team Is scheduled Mr seventy games at home, and (Will probably play two more than that,as it Is scheduled at Indianapolis for two Sunday games, and those games will be transferred to this dty. as Indianapolis will be

The Sioux City team, which •w on the pennant Sn 1894, was thrown out of the league that full. Last season Indianepolls won the flag, and now It not only gets the "ghort end * of the schedule, but It Is also dated to play Sunday ball, and a rule passed, whlcn compels the team to tianarer all Sunday games, if they can not be played In this c.ty. It seems to be a tnlsSortune to win Che Western League t>ennant. Base-ball enthusiasts are wondering what will be done if the burning again flies in this city. College Hase-ltiiil Schedule, The fivn leading Eastern colleges—Harvard, Yale, Princeton. Pennsylvania and tiomell—have arranged the following schedule for Ibis season: May 2—Princeton vs, Cornell, at Ithaca.

Those who favor Sunday base-ball in fWest Indianapolis are struck with the Suitableness of the acres Included in the unused grounds of the Standard Oil Company. At present these ground* are Inclosed by a high picket fence. They are ample enough for three or four baseball parks. The Weet Indianapolis street care skirt the north line of the grounds and the stock yards cars the east side.

The sub-oor.imittee of the Democratic State committee adjourned last night without having decided whether or not the Democrats shall nominate candidates for Senator in the hold-over districts. There will probably be a meeting of the full committee to discuss ihe subject. The attorneys called into the conference were not ready to recommend such a step without having further considered the subject It U3? suggested to the subcommittee that even if nominations were made It might not be possible to get the names of the nominees on the tickets. The committee authorized attorneys Stpith & Koroly and John W. Kern to represent the party in dealing with the legal questions that have arisen, and may from time to time arise as the result of the apportionment developments. The attorneys who have been employed to represent the commlttte met to-day and discussed the situation. In addition to Smith & Korbly. and John W. Kern, of this city, Charles L. Jewett, of New Albany, and Marshall 8c McNulty, of Columbia City, have been retained. The attorneys say that there will probably be some legal steps taken immediately. General Political Note*.

Wayne, was awarded to Marreau A Bassett for their display* of photographs. The Judges were uananimous in this. The display that took this, the greatest size of the convention, consisted of half a dozen photographs of the largest size printed on the mat surface

paper.

There was a dispute between the Judges over the next-best class, the genre pictures. There were half a dozen competitors for this. The picture that most people decided upon aa worthy of the prize was "Autumn," exhibited by Marceau & Bassett. It represented a girl seated on the limb of a tree, the foliage of the tree, the girl’s hair and draperies flowing In the wind. One of the judges made a ruling that the picture was an etching, and not a photograph. This claim was based on the fact that some etching had been done on the negative to fill in the background. The other Judges differed, and it was finally decided to submit the matter to the assembled convention.

An old member expressed disapproval of dropping the name of tne man who had given the league its life.

Nature will soon begin her annual struggle for freedom from winter’s Icy imprisonment. Already beneath the frozen surface. gisnt force* are moving in that direction. Purification is going on. It Is the same with \he human system. The lengthening days are approaching when the blood seeks to recover from Its sluggish inactivity, and it bears In its course gernus of health or diseise, as it has stored up the one or the other. It requires therefore to be enriched with vitalizing and health giving qualities to give tone, vigor and health to the sys-

tem.

For this nothing is »o powerful as Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Like nature’s own wondrous remedies In the physical world, which purify the mountains and streams as they leap from their confines to fill the valleys with new life, and cover orchard and field with Mower and fruit, it brings new force and health to wasted tissues and enfeebled nerves.
