4 FOUGHT BROTHE OVER lS WIFE Harry L. Powers Says He Thrashed Jesse Within an Inch of His Life in Third- Floor Room. -THEN BEGAN DIVORCE SUIT. Case’ Which Furnishes an Up-to-Date Instance of Paola and Francesco Will Come Up for Trial Monday. “Paolo and Francesca—A Modern In- stance” would be the fitting title for the ivorce proceeding of Harry L. Powors, who names his younger brother Jesse as co-respondent. Love of a brother for a brother's wife and its inevitably tragic outcome has been immortalized in literature in the tragedy of Paolo and Francesca. Three dramatic versions of it are on the boards to-day. This up-to-date version with a Feal life setting and everyday people in the leading roles will be played Monday in Justice Hall's Court, when the appli- cation for absolute divorce by Harry L, Powers will be called for trial, Mrs. Minnie Powers, daughter of Clar- ence F. Betts, of No, 68 East One Hun- @red and Twenty-fourth street, will be the Francesca. Her husband, a son of former Park Commissioner Jesse W. Powers, of No. 31 Mount Morris Park | West, 1s the revengeful Count Malatesta, \ and his brother, Jessio Powers, jr., ap- | pears as the light-o-love Paolo, Unlike \the D’Annunzlo version acted here, there “tg no Malatestino in this domestic ver- gion to increase the ranks, of the co- ‘Tespondents. In other respects Mr. Powers's domes- tle unhappiness, as recited in his affi- avit, follows closely along the Ines of the picturesque Italian legend. The woo- ing of Francesca by her brother-in-law, the husband's awakening to their treach- ery, his sudden descent upon thelr love making and then the knife thrust that ends the faithless ones all will be recited fn open court—all but the stabbing. That ‘mediaeval event would be an anachronism in this modern instance. Instead of a stab, the infuriated hus band lands a knock-out blow on the point of his deceitful brother's jaw and reserves for his wife the tortures of the @lvorce court. The scene of this dra- matic climax was the golden wedding festivities of the elder Mr, and Mrs. Powers, Another up-to-date detail will be francesca’s legal battle against her husband's contentions. She will be rep- resented by attorneys Anson B. Cole nd J, Campbell Thompson and will leny improper conduct with her brother- in-law, alleging that what her husband saw to offend him was only tmagined— he result of unfounded suspicion, heated y overindulgence In wine ar the golden tdding festivities. Francesca will also rad her husband's cruel treatment. foung Mr. and Mrs. Powers were married at the country home of the bride's parents at Red Bank, N. J., in January, 1893, and lived until the night of the golden wedding festivities last January at the home of Mr. Powers's parents, Jesse Powers was an inmate of the house and grew very fond of his sister-in-law. The elder brother was Jealous of him, but no outbreak came unt'l the night of the wedding festivities, After the guests had departed, Harry Powers tells in his affidavit how he ment to the dining-room to assist other members of'the family to put away the silver and close up the house. He was surprised not to find his wife with the others, but his mother told him she had gone with his brother to feed a pet equirrel, His suspicions aroused, Harry ran through the house unt!l he came upon bis wife and his brother in a third floor room. Mr. Powers says he thrashed his brother with: CRITIC MUST PAY DAMAGES.

POWERS CALLED A MODERN FRANCESOCA, GIRL TAKES POISON BEFORE A CRUCIEIX In the Attitude of Prayer She Drinks Carbolic Acid and Dies with Lips Moving. While on her knees before a crucifix in her room to-day, Mary Rogers, a young gin suffering from religious mania, drank seven ounces of carbolic acid and died with her burned lips moving in prayer. The dead girl lived with her mother and two brothers, Michael and James, at No. 189 Vanderbilt avenue, Brooklyn. She was very religious and had been a constant attendant at the St. Edward's Roman Catholic Church mission. She had spent so much of her time in prayer recently that her mother had feared she | was becoming overwrought. She got up at her usual hour thi morning and went to the kitchen, wher her mother was preparing breakfast. Mrs. Rogers asked her to awaken the two boys and the girl went out. As she did not come back, and as there were no sounds of movement in the room of her two sons, Mrs. Rogers went into her daughter's room. saw the girl with her hands uplifted to |the crucifix and her lps moving. She spoke to her, but the girl did not an- swer. Mrs. Rogers drew closer and saw the horribly burned condition of |her daughter's face.

More trouble for landlords is ikely to accrue from a recent deciston of Jus- tee Freedman, of the Supreme Court, which affects the right of hotel and boarding-house keepers to selze the property of guests for unpaid boari bills. According to this decision the landlord has a right of selzure only so far as the ownership of the guest ap- piles, ‘That {s, if a guest of a hotel or board- ing-house—other than a transtent—has property in his possession for which'he ‘thas not paid, such property cannot bo held py the landloard for unpaii board, ‘This opens the door to ail sorts of com- plications and gives hotel and board- ing-house beats a wide field. The sult on which the decision was based was brought by a dealer in sew- {ng machines to recover a machine that had been selzed by a boarding-house- keeper from a guest. It was shown that the guest had bought the machine on providing that the ownership remained vested in the merchant until the bill was The purchaser defaulted on the Payments and a demand was made for the machine. Following ‘this the purchaser moved into a boarding-house, taking the ma- chine with tim, and ran up a bill of $22, The landlord selzed the machine, and had to give it up to tho original owner. —— Wants Ban on Suict WASHINGTON, De News. kh by slau mess Spon makes. o un} Y) of &i She | then |Th the ‘instalment plan under a contract | BOUGHT HIS OWN DOG FOR 5 DOLLARS Mr. Center Was So Glad to Find His Pet Again that He Paid the Money Cheerfully.

Mr. Center is a horseman. The dog !s a bull terrier, answering to the name of Chow. Two weeks ago Chow disap- peared and the lamentations in the Center flat were heard all over the block. Mr. Center scoured the city. for his dog, advertised in the newspapers and enlisted all his friends in the search. He could get no trace of Chow through these methods and had about concluded that his bull terrier was lost to him forever, At Thind avenue and Thirty-second jStreet last night Mr. Center saw a man | walking along escorting Chow. The dog saw Mr. Center at the same time and, twisting the chain from the hand of the |man who held it, leaped into his owner's jarms. The man with the dog was Albert |Moreland, a lveryman, of No. 17 Enst irty-fourth street.

I wouldn't be such a scab!’ “At first I made a blush; then I very mad got and stuck my tongue out such a long way as I could, Before I know what was come Rosle jumped on my back quick, and, oh, such a beating!
