SAYS 1IC FEAIIS 'FOR HIS I-IFEJ.
Abraham Snyilcr Telia Why He WniitN
a Divorce from 1I1 Wife.
Abraham Snydcr , whose suit for divorce
from his aged wife , Zishna Snyder , created
more or less surprise in Jewish circles In this
city , where both have lived so longand are
so well known , filed an amendment to his
| petition yesterday , In which he makes some
sensational charges.
Snyder and his wife were married forty-
two years ago In Vishna , Russia , but have
not lived together for the last eighteen years ,
the wife making her homo with their son and
bis family , while Snyder conducts a clothing
store on Broadway. In the amendment to his j
petition , he alleges that on January 1 last
his wlfo prepared and placed poison In some
wlno for the purpose of killing him. He
drank the poisoned wine and the effects
would have been fatal , he claims , only for j
the timely arrival of a physician , who ad
ministered an antidote and thus saved him
from an untimely end.
In his original petition Snyder sets up as
grounds for being granted a divorce the
allegation that his wife deserted him
eighteen years ago and that despite his re
peated solicitations , has persistently refused
to live with him again. In his amendment ,
however , he alleges that previous to the
time when his wife Is said to have put
poison in his wine , she abused and llltreated
him to a shameful degree and compelled him
on many a cold night to sleep in the outi i
buildings. He saye , also , that bte Ztshna !
would have greatly Injured him and surely j '
have caused bis death bad he not sought
safety In flight during the nighttime beyond j
her reach.
As to her application to be allowed all-1
mony , Snyder says he has but little property I
In bis own name nnd that his business Is !
being conducted by him on borrowed capl-
tal. What property he bad he turned over I
to his son so that bo might care for his !
mother. As n plea against being compelled j
to llvo with his Zishna again , Snyder al
leges that his wife Is cruel and Inhuman and
ugly when aroused and would stop nt nothing
to further her ends. He concludes his peti
tion by stating that he fears for his life If
the court should compel him to live or co
habit with his wife again.
The trial of the damage suit of H. J.
Vaughan against the Chicago & Northwest
ern Railway company was completed In the
superior court yesterday. The Jury , after

for $75 , Vaughan sued for $1GOO , alleging
that his crops had been flooded throdgh the |
negligence of the railroad. A motion on the
part of the plaintiff was ( lied for u new
trial.
A Jury was Impaneled nnd the trial of the
suit of John Llndt against Llnder & Filter
was commenced yesterday. In this suit At
torney Llndt seeks to recover from the de
fendants $5,500 for rent of the brick build
ing on Broadway formerly occupied by them
ns a saloon and the title to which was de
creed to be In Llndt after several years'
litigation by the supreme court. The buildIng -
Ing was erected by the Schlltz Brewing com
pany on a lot formerly owned by Mrs. Annie
Pralor ,
The next suit on the docket In the su
porlor court Is that of R. H , Harris against
the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway and
Bridge company. Harris seeks to recover
$2,000 from the motor company for alleged
damage to his property on South First street
by reason of the street car tracks being laid
In front of hla residence so close to the curb
line as to Interfere with his rights and full
enjoyment of the street.
In the district court Mary Etnyre com
menced wilt against S. P. McConnell and
others to" quiet her title In lot 6 , block 4 ,

SIOUX CITY , la. , Nov. 15. ( Special Tele
gram. ) An election contest has been begun
In the Ida-Monona legislative district which
promises to become a bitter fight before it is
finished. Nathan Ltndsey of Onawa in
Monona the middle-of-the-road
county was - - -
populist candidate for representative , but
was defeated In the ejection by W. J. Scott
of Ida Grove , Now' lllndsey has appeared in
the district court wifh nn application for a
temporary writ of Injunction and for a writ
of mandamus compelling the Board of Super
visors of Monona county to certify to his
election. Lindsey bases his contention on
the ground that Monona county has suffi
cient population to entitle it to a representa
tive of Its own , nnd that it should not be
made a part of the Ida district. He further
alleges that the law under which the legis
lative apportionment was made is unconsti
tutional. The populist was the only candi
date on any ticket for representative who re
sides In Monona county , and Jt is his conten
tion that as Monona , county Is entitled to
separate representation It would bo Illegal
for It to be represented by Scott , who lives
In Ida county. The court has granted a
temporary writ of Injunction preventing the
Board of Supervisors of Monona county from
certifying to the election of Scott until the
final adjudication of tbo suit.

NEW YORK , Nov. 15. The American
Blblo society Is in receipt of reports from
its agents in China , which state that as the
result of the palace revolution last year ,
whereby the empress dowager assumed
power and the emperor was practically Im
prisoned , persecutions of missionaries are
occurring In various parts of China , es
pecially In the far Interior. In one Instance
the viceroy was forced to telegraph for
troops.
The Chinese society known as "The Box
ers" Is said to be provoking agitations and
antagonisms. Two colporteurs of the Blblo
society visited Peh Shui Chiang , in the
province of Knnsuh , and were Invited to
circulate bibles from a Chinese temple. As
soon as they were Inside of the temple the
gates were closed and the colporteurs were
set upon and terribly beaten with long , thick
sticks of firewood.
The men were tied hands and feet to the
pillars of the temple and spat upon , tbo
people shouting , "We have tied you up as
they did your Jesus on the cross. " They
then began to strike them on the face and
shout , "This Is what your God can do for
you ; call upon your Jesus to come and save
you. "
It Is understood that the agents of the
Blblo boclety will endeavor to obtain redress
from the mandarins of Lo-Yang-Hslcn , the
city in the province of Yan Sun , which rules
the town where this disturbance took place.
