Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 2. | A real romance of an unfortunate youhg | man was aired in Superior Judge Hall's | court t The young man was , on whose behalf his George the court for a modification of an order for §15 monthly alimony incorporated in | decree of divorce granted to Mary E. erett in February, 1865 erett is aged and his divorced wife has passed fifticth summer. her The divorce was g of extreme crueity =d on the ground 1 the trial at the ensational. It was had lived together , when the husband an a me proved decidedly shown that the couple happily but two wee manifested an unusual personification of | the green-eyed monster, expressing jeal- ousy over the daily of the milkman, | the butcher, the baker and the candle- ctick maker, and even the iceman was not free from Lverett's suspicion. As a sum- ; ‘measure Mrs. Everett finally bun- her_jealous se out of the house ued for a_divorce, : Everett was formerly a theological stu- dent, but, according to Mrs. Ever s allegations, corroborated by three wit nesses at the divorce trial, his pacity for fine liquors was hardly in accord with his chosen calling. On one occasion, too, | he became decidedly ferocious, drawing a | revolver on his spouse. For this he w arrested, His plea was to have been in- sanity, and at the suggestion of his at-| | torneys he was examined by doctors, who declared him sound mentally. However, that case was dropped, the wife declining to swear to a complaint. After the divorce was granted Everett claimed to have come across a letter, supposedly written by his ex-wife, where- in some unknown writer advised her to Keep out of Everett’s path, “warning" her “what a slick devil Everett is. Polished, but oh, so bad! He is said to be insane, but this is not so, for he is devilish to the core.” On the witness stand to-day Everett pleaded poverty and sickness. He said the only work he had performed since the entering of the decree was in Pendleton, Or., where, some weeks ago, he had watered his sister's grass lawn. He claimed to be a sufferer from nervous prostration, functional heart trouble, stomach trouble and fainting spells and | that he was now dependent upon the | charity of relatives. He had contended in previous testimony and complications had been verified by Drs. Russell and Dradley, but Mrs, Everett in expounding | her version of these matters declareg that the doctors had told her they consiiered Everett a well man and that Dr, Russell had advised him to don hig old clothes and go to work; but the doctor expressed doubts as to Everett's ability to follow or succeed in a professional life. The ex-wife apparently labored under | the impression that Everett is not a poor man, for she made the startling declara- tion that a Mrs. C. Henry of Ukiah had told her that Everett had been making money and that he had been lavishing presents on her. Moreover, Mrs. Everett | gave impetus to & rumor that her ex-hus- band was engaged to be married again. Mrs. Everett was represented at the | hearing to-day by Attorney E. C. Robin- son, who made an eloquent plea that Ev- ereit’s petition be denied. In fact, the attorney declared that his client is | afrald of her life and that Everett has not paid one cent of the alimony or- ders ly stroked his beard as | that his claim to iiln ed. Judge Hall gentl he summed up the case and mused the | | preliminary remarks to his decision.

Of course, if he | chculd be struck by llfihtnlng and ‘inherit scmething, it would dll be very well, but‘ we cannot disturb the past; so I can see no reason for not modifying the order.” Judge Hall accordingly modified the de- | cree by striking the future Fa)‘ment of | alimony until further order of the court, | | now Afternoon—2 o'clock, devotional service, led by Rev.

Parente,-a Por- | tuguese laborer, aged 40 years, was found | lying near an oak tree just off a side- walk in West Oakland at 1 o'clock this morning. His cries for help aroused a whole neighborhood. and the police took him to the Receiving Hospital to be treat- ed for a broken nose. He was very much intoxicated, and claimed that footpads had laid him out and robbed him of $5. After his olfactory organ had been re- paired he became so obstreperous that he | had to be removed to the City Prison, | where he was booked for drunkenness, | When he appeared in the Police Court this morning the footpad theory had slipped his memory, and he was sen- tenced to serve four days in jail. the court reasoning at_the prisoner had already been quite sufficiently punished for nis inebriety by running up against some mighty oak. —_— e e— Professor and Pupil Wed.

Beginning with the first of October, g very important and sweeping change ha® into effect in the freight service be- en San Jose and south, and Oakiand. All the freight trains which have hitherto gone to San Francisco and been ferried to | Oakland will be sent by way of Niles. There is no night telegraph station be- tween San Jose and Oakland, and train- men are fearful that there will be many accidents unl some changes are made in the new system. They say it is impos- sible to have three or four freight trains between San Jose and Oakland at night time without their being mixed up unless they recelve some orders en route. The new conditions will increase the freight traffic on this side the bay to fully double what it has been. Many of the men, especially the opera- tors at Niles, have been working over- time under the old conditions and they have determined to_claim ten hours’ con- | secutive rest according to the agreement entered into with the railroad company under the new schedule adopted and which went into effect September 1. At present the hours of rest for the men on this route are considerably broken up &nd they are not able to have the amount of consecutive hours agreed on. S. O. Higley, the agent at Niles, has to ders while trains are in the station, be: sides answering all questions that passen- ers may ask. Often there are half a ozen different orders on the agent's desk at Niles, with as many different trains in the yard. On the local train service the new conditions and the possibility of ac- cidents have been the theme of passen- gers for the past two days.
