Bhe asks176 a week alimony and places the Income of

" In hla penitential moods my husband con-

Mr. Thompson handed to tho Court a bundleof fifty letters, which, ho said, would show thatths plaintiff's mind was unbalanced.

If sho visitedpalmists and others, counsel snld.she had beenInduced to do so by her husband.

" What explanation does your ollent make otthe ohargo that a woman whom the evidencehows never had chlldron had twochlldren by

the defendant?" asked Mr. Thompson."Her explanation." said Mr. Dalley. "Isthat

the woman did have the two children and thatthey are being supported elsewhere."

Mr. Thompson said tho Court would see fromthe papers that the plalntlfTsohargos wero hal-lucinations and that she would have to admitthat she received most of her Information fromfortunetellers.

She Havana Does 18.43 Knots on liar SpeedTrial Trip nnd Averages 17.12.

A speed trial of the newly built Ward linesteamship Havana was made off the DelawareCapes 'on Thursday afternoon and oventng.The steamship's maximum speed was 16.42knots an hour in a run of :i5 knots. Her aver-age for the whole trial, which lasted aboutfour hours and fifty-fou- r minutes, was 17.13knots. At the time of the trial there were astrong breeze and a rough sea, nnd spray wasfrequently thrown over the pilot house.

The trial shows that the steamship Is fasterthan any vessel of the merchant marine everbuilt In this country, except the St. Louis andths St. Paul of the American lino: the twoAmerican line boats named aro also tho onlyones that are larger than the new Havana.

The Havana wan built at the 'Cramps' ship-yards In Philadelphia and sho left there forher speed trial early Thursday morning. SheIs now tied up at the foot of East Ninth street,this city, the Ward line nlors being occupied.All vessels In the harbor and the Eatt Itivergavs the new ship a hearty .and noisy weloameon her war up yesterday morning.

The Havana was contracted for In 1807 andnaa just been finished by the Cramps. Herfigures are: Gross tonnage. 5,(!t"7: net tonnage.4.182: length on water line. .100 feet; beammoulded. f0 feet: depth moulded. 32 feet 2Inchei: draught. 21 feet.

The vessel was built In sueh a way that shocan be convorted Into a cruiser at short notice.All her vital points are below tho water line orprotected by ooal bunkers, and sho has beenmade especially strong at certain places towithstand the nhock of the adequate numberof guns In caso she is ever fitted out for war.

In the party which came to New York on theHavana were Cant. W. II.

THE ZOXQ ISLAKD R. K. INCLINE,

It Not Prevented It Will Take Steam TrainsOff Atlantic Avenue,

Argument waf had befora Supreme CourtJustloo Maddoxlln Brooklyn yesterday on theorder to "how oauso why a permanent Injunc-tion should cot be granted restraining theLong Island Railroad Company from makingan incline connection at Atlantlo and Flat-bus- h

avenues with the structure of the Brook-lyn Elevated Railroad Company. The orderwas obtained by John Gallagher, a taxpayer.His counsel said that the company had at-tempted to substitute the permit for a fran-chise, nnd that the Long Island Railroad Com-pany was attempting to act Into Manhattanby way of the bridge and avoid building atgreat cost a tunnel under the East River.

Gen. George W. WIngate contonded that thecompany had a perfect right under Its charterto build a turnout at Atlantlo and Carlton ave-nues to conneot Its tracks with the freightyard. He said it was not a now franchise toconnect the two roads, but the constructionof the conneotlon, ho said, was simply nn In-cident In the general proposition to entirelyrelieve Atlantlo avenue ot the stnam road. Hesaid the general Idea was to substitute olec-trlol- ty

on Atlantlo. avonue. and In this way re-lieve the congested condition of the street.If the connection was made, he said, it wouldbe only a short time before all the cars wouldbe run upon the elevated structure by meansof eleotriclty. and then electrlo ears would berun on Atlantic avenue on a short headway.My this means steam would be eliminatedfrom Atlantic avenue and fine electric cars In-stead ot the heavy trains would be put on theroad.

Lawyer Kelly, who represented the LongIsland Railroad Company, said he did notthink the present case should be continued,as a taxpayer could only bring the suit whenht could prove that he was subjeot to pecu-niary los. If the facts, as alleged, were true,then the suit should be brought by the city ofNew Yorx. Justice Maddox took the papersand will give a decision on Monday.

WIVES AS EXCUSES FOB THEFT.

Louis J. Snure, who stole $20,000 by meansot forged checks from his employers, was

yesterday by Judge Newburger in thsGeneral Sessions to seven years' Imprison-ment. Snure said when he pleaded guilty thathe would not havo stolen the money it It hadnot been for the fact that his wife was dying.He said ho wanted tho money to pay her ex-penses to Europe, believing that the condi-tion of her health might Improve But latera young woman appeared who ssld that Snurehad been paying attention to her while hiswife was ill and had promised to marry her.She produced his love letters. Snure re-

marked philosophically yesterday that butfor her he might have escaped with a sus-pended sentenoe.

Charles B. Wells, for grand lar-ceny before Judge Newburger yesterday, said:

"Your Honor, I admit, that I am guilty, butI stole to help my poor wife, who Is now atour home in Manchester, N. H."

"I don't bellovo those stories men tell as ex-cuses for their acts of thieving." remarkedJudge Newburser. "I had a man namedSnure here just before you. He said he stolefor his dying wife. You say you stole for yourpoor wife. I'm sorry for you. but I'll haveto send you to ths penitentiary for threemonths."

FIGHT AGAINST 4 TRACKS.

AMSTERDAM AVENUE mOPEnTTOTTNERS HEARD.

Jtutlc Bcolt Telia Them the Legal Rightto I.sy the New Tracks la the Only Ques-tion They Need Not Dltcu.i the

Finally Reserves Decision.The motions ot St. Michael's Protestant

Episcopal Church and the Society for tho Re-

lief of the Destltuto Blind for a temporary In-

junction against the laying ot two traoks onAmsterdam avenue by the Forty-socon- d Btreot,Manhattanvllle and Bt. Nicholas Aveuuo Com-pany In addition to the two tracks ot the Met-ropolitan Stroet Railway Company, weroargued together before Justice Scott of theSupreme Court yesterday. John A. Dealt,Henry Howland, Blmon Sterne, and John 0.Coleman supported the motions and EdwardLnutorbach and William 0. Trull wero opposed.

Mr. Beall said that Bt Michael's Church cost$0715,000 and has a congregation ot 4,000 per-

sons and a large number of Sunday scholars,who would havo to cross and recross tho fourtraoks at much hazard. Ills affidavits showed,he said, that physicians ot tho Hospital for thoRelief of tho Destltuto Blind bollovod that thooporatlon of tho additional tracks would en-

danger their patients. Affidavits ot otvtl en-

gineers and electricians, which he produced,showed that thoy considered that the addi-tional tracks would greatly multiply tho dan-gers to pedestrians. Ho said that 10,000 chil-dren In attendance on the publlo sohools wouldbe monaced.

Justice Scott said that It wasnotneoessary todemonstrate that four tracks woro undesirable.Ills oxperlencos as Corporation Counsel hadshown that four traoks aro a disadvantage toowners of abutting property. Tho questionwas solely one of legal right.

Mr. Beall contondod that the consents otproperty ownors woro not sufficient when thoproporty held by each wns proporly valued, andthat some of tho consents wero Improperlyexecuted.

Mr. Trull ssld that tho road has tiro consentot tho Railroad Commissioners, tho Commis-sioner of Highways, and tho Commissioner ofPubllo Buildings. Lighting and Supplies, andhas $3,000,000 more consents of proporty own-ers than It required. Since four tracks havubeen laid on the Bowery, he said, the i umberof accidents has dcoreased. At ttv.i BrooklynBridge entrance, ho said, there arc very, veryfow accidents.

"But you can't compare tho bridge entrancowith Amsterdam avenue." said the Judge."Tho brldgo entrance Is merely a railroadcentro now."

Simon .Sterne doclared that the applicationwas onn of thOBo rarely prccnted by prlvntoparties against tho rapacity of a corporntotrust. Tho road was claiming tho right to

tho easomonts of accossand ogressownedby property owners In tho avenuo nnd tho rightof the citizens to be protected In life nnd limb,which thoy aro cntltlod to undpr the Constitu-tion of the United States nnd the Constitutionof this State. No legislative authority couldtake, property away, and aocess and egress weroproperty. The Kowery. he said. Is n businessthoroughfare froquonted mainly by grownporsons, and could not bo compared to Amster-dam avonue. Electric cars in this city, he said,are run at n speod ot ilfeen miles an hour, andcannot be stopped short of eighty feot. N onldfour tracks of such cars bo consistent with npubllostroet? He continued: "They say thatthis was a dead avenuo before electric carsworo put upon it. It will no doubt bo n deadavenue as to mortality with four tracks."

Henry E. Howland said that the companyhad forfeited any rights It had to lay the tracks.Although It got legislative authority In 1884.It had not built on Amsterdam avenue or triedto do so until 1801, when other roads wereseeking a franchise thoro.

Mr. Trull said that the company had alreadvspent $300,000 nnd intends to spend $3,000,000.and that It would bo a great hardship to enjoinIt before tho trial of tho action In which thoright to Injunction could be llnallydotormlnod.

Justice Scott reserved decision.

DECADESCE OF 'A TALK FUNCTION.

Falling Oft Thl. lVnr In the Itevenues ofthe Junior Promenade Committee.

New Havbx, Jon. 27. The fact that theJunior Promenade Cnmmitteo of the presentyear has hadconsiderable difficulty In makingboth ends meet has caused tho undergrad-uates to look about and Inquire the reason. ItIs not only on the financial side that the prom-

enade of 1000 has shown a falling off, but onthe sorlal sldo an well. Tho number of visi-tors this year has beon considerably leas thanthat dt a few years ago, and the number of col-

leee mon, especially members of the juniorclass, who have failed to take any part In therromenado festivities is conslderablyClaraer.Vale men ore beginning to Inquire whetherthis moans the decadenco ot one of the mostcelebrated Institutions ot Yale.

The Yale Ahtmni'.W'eeklu has beon collectingstatistics showing the relative incomes of thoPromenade Committee of 1800 and 1000. Lastyear, according to these llguros. the olosedsale of boxcB netted $1,810. which was re-duced tills sear to Tl.dO. Tho open sale ofboxes In 180S amounted to S1 .720 and ln 1B00to $1,070. Tho subscriptions a year agoyielded $2,072. ivhllo those ot the class of 1IXJOamount to only Sl.ttOO. Heretofore the Jun-ior Promonndo Commltteo ha always had alarge surplus on hand. The committee hasalways been able to moke generous donationsto tho various athletic reams which have noIncome of their own. and also to the fund forpoor Btudents. Instead, however, of makingcontributions of this Kind this year the com-mittee wll' bo obliged to solicit subscriptionsin order to pay off its own debts. Already anadditional assessment of $3 has been leviedonZboxholders. and by this and other moansnot yet decidod upon the committoo believesthat it will bo ablo to pull Itself out of Its pres-ent embarrassment.

Whether this state of nffalrs Is causod bv ageneral lack of Interest In the promenade fes-tivities themsevles or whether the majorltv ofstudents are less ablo to afford tne luxuries ofthe junior promennde'iweok fs not known.Tho latter theory finds justification ln thestatement made a short time ago by Prof.Henry P. Wright, Dean of the Graduate

that the proportion of men of mod-ora- to

means now ln college was much greaterthan It had been for many years. There aromany who believe, however, that It Is only nnIndication f n reaction against tho extrava-gance occasioned by tho junior promenade oftho onst few years. There has always been afeeling of resentmont among the majority oiYale men against tho hoary expenses Incidentto this great social function nt ale. Althoughtho expenses have been so laree as to practi-cal ly limit the promonado to the rich men incollege, nevertheless tho men of moderutomeans. In order not to bo left out. havo taxedtheir purses to tho utmost and have foundthemselvos financially embarrassed for therest of tho college year. It Is bolieved.. there-fore, that the present promenade has been al-most exclusively a rich man's dance, and thatthe majority of the undergraduates, whosesupport Is absolutely os&entlal to Its success,havo kept away.
