SAYS SHE DROVE HIM AWAY ka3 o il HE ASKS THE COURT FOR A DECREE OF DIVORCE. e Charles H. Smith, cashier of the South- ern Pacific Company, filed suit vesterday for a divorce from his wife, Josephine Smith, on the ground of cruelty. In his complaint Mr. Smith alleges that the cruelty inflicted upon him by his wife was both mental and physical, and that for the past seven years he has been forced to live apart from her. Not marny years after their marriage, which took place May 4, 1§78, he says his wife begun to accuse him of unfaithfulness .ad charged him with neglecting her for other women. Finally she charged him with every crime known to the code, accused him of stealing from the Southern Pacific Company and did her utmost happiness and life. When they w ing mn the Grand Hotel Mr. Smith charges | that his wife would wait until he was asleep and then strike him in the fuce and call him “dog” and ‘“‘cur.” Again he accuses her of forcing his son to assault him and horsewhip him without cause or provocation. She also blackened his cyes, he alleges, and at a later date. at a sociai gathering, vented her hatred by throwing a glass of wine in his fa other specified reasons he asks that a de- cree of divorce be granted him on the ground of cruelty. In 1863 Mrs. Smith sued her husband for mainterance and the court allowed her $100 a month.

The company was organized in 1863. Its officers are all Western men and its in- vestments are in Western enterprises, the in every respect gilt- edged. The policy of the company is to keep its funds at home, so that to-day Its assets include many of the best invest- ments known to the local world of finance.

Street Committee Turns Down Bay | and Coast Railway. The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors met yesterday morning and voted to recommend that the franchise asked for by the Bay and Coast Rallway be denled. A protest signed by the Real Estate and Development Company against the granting of the franchise was placed | on flle. The protestants claimed that such | a rallway would materially damage the | property in the vicimty of the proposed | franchise and that the plan is not feasi- | ble for the reason that it is impossible to construct and operate a standard auge | track within the narrow limits of the street without encroaching on private property, and sufficient radius cannot be given to the curves of the track in turn- | ng from one street at right angles into | another street. It was further claimed | that such a railway would be a serious menace to life and property, as the pro- posed route wouid occupy streets in the | Potrero district which are now and in the future destined to be the natural arterfes | of large volumes of travel. | The reasons set forth by the protestants | convinced the committee and the vote | against sranllng the franchise was unan- imous, Supervisors Maguire, Curtis and | Connor all voting no. | The protest against the Southern Paci- | fic Railway Company’s tracks in the Mis- | sion district was considered, but after some discussion action was postponed for | two weeks to enable people to be heard in Similar action was taken with provement Club sgainst the alleged nui- sarce maintained by Gray Brothers in | their rock crushing plant at Clipper and | Twenty-fourth streets. —_—— New Transportation Company.

The treaty of peace, which is expected to ac- | complish the cessation of hostilities, was night to representatives of y Sing Tong and the Hop Sing Tong, and agreed to by each party. While it has not yet been signed by the presi- dents of the belligerent factions, yet their | representatives have pledged themselves | that the compact will go into effect im- mediately. The Gee Gum Tong, one of the most an. clent Chinese Masonic societies and per- the strong: in Chinatown, was di- y instrumental in bringing about a condition of affairs.

Feehan, referee appointed by the court to take the testimony in the action for divorce instituted by Harriet and when the | a- | ir | premises of his rooms | | J. Keller against Herman A. Keller, the | Weil known mining expert, returned the written evidence to the court yesterday. Mrs. Keller seeks for a_divorce on the ground of desertion. She married her husband in Denver, Colo., October 22, 1888, and was deserted by him, she alleges, in October of 1898. She claims that sKeller is in receipt of a monthly income from a $1000. Hence she prays that in addition to a decree of di- vorce the court grant her alimony in the sum of 3§15 a month. Mr. Keller is at present In South Africa, but an answer to the complaint was filed by his attorneys yesterday. In his answer he says that he receives an income of but $4500 a year, and that this is largely ex- pended in his travels through Africa, Aus. tralia and South America in_ search mines. He says that his wife's extrava- ance caused him to leave her and made ving with her impossible. In her deposition taken by Referee Fce- han she says that she recelved a letter from her husband written in Port Saic Egypt, in which he told her that as had no tastes in common he had on- | ciuded not to live with her any longer. She further testified that while they were in this city they lived at the Hotel Plea anton and were happy. Her hus- band’s desertion caused her great worry and mental distress, and his constant charges of extravagance were based on his own ideas of the meaning of the term. Emily Helen Richardson, who resides at 1346 Hyde street, corroborated the testi- mony given by Mrs. Keller, and the case was submitt to Judge Dougherty, sit- ting in Judge Daingerficld’'s department of the Superior Court, for decision. —_———— In the Divorce Court.
