Mrs, Mayer Asks a Divorce From Her Husband. Rosina M. Mayer, who states that she conducts a boarding house at 909 H street, today applied for divorce from John Mayer, to whom she was married here September 20, 1874. They have six children living, the eldest being twenty years of age and the youngest nine years. Until about efght years ago, she says, her husband was engaged in the saloon busi- ness, and shortly after their marriage he became addicted to strong drink. During that period, she claims, he frequently abused and cursed her, and many times as- saulted her, one time being committed to Jail for assaulting her. Thereafter, al- though they resided in the same house, they did not live together as husband and wife. Since then, she says, she has sup- ported herself and children, often providing her husband with clothing. For the past several years, she alleges, he has frequently abused her, and she asserts that he assaulted her the 22d of last month, knocking her down with a blow of his fist. She not only asks for divorce, but also that her husband be enjoiried from in any way molesting or interfering with her during the pendency of the suit. The petition was presented to Judge Cox by Mrs. Mayer's counsel, R. Newton Don- aldson, and the court granted the injunc- tion prayed for by her. Ee School Tenchers’ Checks. Checks for the teachers of the public schools of the District of Columbia, in pay- ment of salaries for October, will be ready for distribution tomorrow. In view of the fact that the army of teachers were re- quired to wait until October 10 before re- ceiving their checks for September, this an- nouncement will undoubtedly prove wel- come news. ——.__ Cases Certified. The justices presiding in the circuit courts of the District Supreme Court have certified to Criminal Court No. 1 cases from No. 300 to 400, both inclusive, except case No. 385, on the trial calender for ‘the October term, 1896, for trial in said court. The trial of these cases will commence Tuesday next, November 3, beginning with case No. 300. hc Sh tae Hostillties in Madagascar, Mail advices received here today from Antananarivo, capital of the Island of Madagascar, say that on September 15 the queen, accompanied by the general commanding the garrison and a strong escort, made a tour around the capital, during which she was attacked by the insurgent Fahavilos, who killed five of her escort and wounded ten others. Thirty Fahavalos were killed. THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, QOTOBER 29, 1896—TWELVE ‘PAGES. College and High School Studenta Absorbed in Foot Ball. RECORD OF BIG TEAMS THIS SEASON New Cycling Records Made by John S. Johnson. GREAT TIME AT NASHVILLE —_—_+—__. The Gallaudet College foot ball team yes- terday defeated the eleven from the Kast- ern High School for the third time this season by a score of 14-0. The High School boys were outweighed by about fifteen pounds, but held the Gallaudcts down to one touch-down in the first halt and two in the second. The Easterns were defeated in their first game by a score of 8-0, in their second by 18-0. In both cf these games graduates and outsiders were played by the High School, and the team then was considered to be stronger than it is now. Yesterday a strictly school team was played and the showing Is a creditable one. The ball kicked off by the Eastern Bigh School was advanced gradually up the field by the Gallaudets to the Eastern High School 45-yard line, where it was lost on downs. Eastern High School kicked, after which the Kendalls forced the ball slowly up the field and over the line for a touch- down at the end of ten minutes’ play. Smielau filled for goal. They were not able to score again in that half, the ball chang- ing hands repeatedly, but remaining in the Eastern High School territory. In the second half the Galiaudets settled down to hard work, and by repeatedly running their tacks around the ends behind their excellent interference, which the High School could not stop in time, because of its weight, were able to score twice. Smielau filled for goal once, and kicked goal the second time. Rosson, left half back for the Gallaudets, gained most cf the ground for his team, while the tackling of Darby was sure and timely. Kelly, Meigs and S. Maupin played @ good game for the High School. The fol- lowing is the line-up: Gallaudets. Position. Smlelau (capt.)...... Hodges. E._H. S. Brockhagen.

The C rals Also Beaten, The Maryland Agricultural College eleven defeated the Central High Schocl cleven yesterday by 10 to 6. In the iast three min- utes of play the M. A. C. boys had the ball on the 5-yard line of the C. H. S., but fum- bled, and it was fallen upon by Duffy on the 10-yard line. The referee decided that the ball was not in play, and it was carried back to the 5-yard line and quickly rushed over the line for a touch-down and goal kicked just before time was called. ‘This decision gave the M. A. C. the game. The star playing of the college team was by Oran Lewis, the full back; Jolly, H. Barnard and Ball made brilliant individual plays for the Central. Central, Position.

Delaney Injured in Yesterday’s Game on the Georgetown Campus. The class of 98 and the class of ’97 of Georgetown University played their first foot ball game of the season yesterday atf- ternoon on the campus, in which the jun- fors defeated the seniors by the score of 6 to 0. The game was witnessed by fully 500 spectators, and the classes represented by the different teams were doing the rooting with much vim. The game was played heavily, and the players in some cases seemed to be unnecessarily rough. In the first half Reardon made a touch-down. for the juniors, while Walsh kicked a goal. ‘This was the only score of the game.

The different committees which have been identified with the meet have dis- played the utmost interest in the work, and have done everything in their power to ad- vance the interests of the affair. Major Edwin Sweet, in charge of the Washington tickets; Dr. Frank T. Howe, chairman of the press committee; Mr. E. B. Hay, in charge of the Chicago tickets; Mr, Sam Steinmetz, Mr. Chas. Cabrera, and, in fact, all who have had anything whatever to do with the meet, have been hard at work. This is especially true of Mrs. Clara Bell Brown, who is the representative of the central committee at Chicago in this city, and who has been acting as a sort of gen- eral manager of the event. Tickets have been placed in many business houses for disposal and it is understood that the sale is progressing favorably. NEW CYCLING RECORDS. —Frred Schade, Greer, C. E ‘hrov} PD, John John 8.

Nelson Has Not Been Located — His Crime—Other Local Notes of General Interest. Since the last registration, 842 names have been added to the registration books of the city; 442 white and 400 oolored, as follows: First ward, 59 white and 46 color- ed; second ward, 59 white and 47 colored; third ward, 207 white and 188 colored; fourth ward, 117 white and 119 colored. Of this number, 340 were registered by trans- fer, making about 500 new names. The City Democratic Club and the Bryan, Se- wall and Rixey Club claim that a large number of these names are illegally regis- tered, especially among the colored portion, saying that most of them were brought here by the republicans from Washington and elsewhere and illegally added to the list. A committee from the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club is making a poll of the newly-registered voters, and locating them as far as possible. They claim to have found that many of them have no residence in this city. The cry of “fraud” has gone up on all sides, and every effort will be made to have an honest election. Mr. 8. G. Brent, representing the sound money democracy, offered to assist Com- monwealth’s Attorney Marbury in locating and prosecuting Illegally registered per- sons, but Mr. Marbury, in a letter to Mr. Brent, declined the offer, saying he pre- ferred to prosecute them ‘alone in his offi- cfal capacity. Senator Morgan of Alabama will be the attraction at a free silver mass meeting to be held in the opera house tonight. Other speakers of prominence in the ranks will also address the meeting. The situation continues at a boiling point, and William is sure to carry the city of Alexandria, but which William remains to be seen. Nelson’s Whereabouts Unknown. Nothing has as yet been heard as to the whercabouts of John Nelson, who is wanted by the county authorities for the killing of Deputy Sheriff Hines at Jackson City, who was releaced on bail several weeks ago by Justice Lane. It is thought by the people that Nelson will not show up in this %ec- tion Again; certainly not for some time. The crime for which Nelson is wanted was one of the worst on the calendar, and its full detalis were told in The Star at the time. Hines, with others, made a raid on Nelson’s bar at Jack§on City and in the @elee that followed Hines» was shot to death. It is claimed that Nelson did the shooting, and Nelson, it is said, claims self-defense. The bond of $1,000, given by 3Schn H. Greene and Granville Kelly, has been forfeited. Must Pay for the Horse. In the corporation court yesterday Judge J. K. M. Norton presiding, in the suit of A. W. Armstrong, trustee, against James Dun- can, to recover $50, the pfice of @ horse pur- chased at J. W. Brown’s sales some time ago, and which Mr. Duncan afterward re- fused to take, claiming that at the time of the sale he was under the influence of li- quor and was therefore not responsible for the purchase, the jury brought in a verdict fer the plaintiff. Col. Francis L. Smith. attorney for Duncan, moved to set aside the verdict, but Judge Norton overruled the motion. Benefit of the Infirmary.
