LI7ILT SATDEDAT AMONG THE JUDGES There -were but few galled matrimonial withers presented to Judge Kennedy and Assistant District Attorney Goehring for the application of emollients yesterday, and it was noticeable that a peremptory man damus on the Controller to pay Mr. Gochr ing's salary made him very tender in the nse of his probe. The first case presented was one In humble life; Nancy Nicker-' son against her husbaml, James Nickerson. Nancy was not on hand, though Detective Beltzhoover. said she had been re peatedly notified. The charge was surety of the peace, and James said it was caused by a job she was putting up to get rid of him. He said he couldn't pay costs and was apparently reconciled to his fatet lie was allowed to go on promise to pay the costs when fortune showed a more smiling face. He is a shoemaker and combination has re duced the guild to its last. Lena Ecknovitch had recovered suffi ciently to appear against her husband, who has been playing checkers with his nose so long that some thought he was in danger of being forgotten. Mrs. Ecknovitch aid that her husband worked in McKnight's mill, but took co little care of her and her seven children that she was forced to keep boarders to eke out a living. George in defense said that his wife had been living with another man. Tooted tlin Bills When Allowed. He also thought that Lena wanted to get rid of him and ho had furnished money to keep the pot boiling when she allowed him his proper place in the establishment. He presented the appearance of a man effectu ally cruhcd and who is willing to hand to the v ind adverse fate sent and is hash proof The Court discharged him on his own recognizance, but intimated that he would sate further trouble bv putting up ?50 per week frr Mrs. Ecknovitch. John Brar charged Joseph McCombs with surety of the peace, but did not succeed in persuading the Court that McCombs was a danserous character. The latter is a tenant on Hazel street of Mr. Barr, and will not allow the latter to show house hunters the rooms, he, McCombs, intending to move on April 1. It appeared from the evidence that the defendant had got the woist of a scrimmage, and costs were divided. The cae of Joseph Schultz, of No. 543 Smithfield street, and his wife, of iMinheo, was again. called. Thomas H. Davis scanned the field to ascertain whether there ero any new BJchmonds among Mrs. Schultz's attorneys, but D. D. Bruce was the onlv one who took part. The divorce proceed ing did not enter into the case yesterday, but there was some sharp sparring between the counsel until Mrs. Schultz decided to put more cnerjv into the cae herself, 'when the exertions of the attorneys and the Court combined were necessary to make her un derstand that she couldn't run it alone, llnd a T.i: or Woe to Tell. Mr. Schultz said her husband came home on the Fourth of July and caressed her until her spectacles and earrings were wrecked. She denied that Schultz fur nished the house for her tolhein, as she said she han contributed as much to its purchase as he had. She also denied that Schultz paid her bills for coods bought to run her store or for supplies furnished to her hoarding house, and her Son Adolph said he knew of no bills being paid by his father. Mr. Schultz said his wife refused to wash his shirts and socks, and this was the caue of trouble. He also testified that he had given the son money to pay bills in Mrs. Schultz's order. He admitted that he hadn't contributed since last May. Judge Kennedy decided that Schultz must pay S4 a week to his v ife, as well as let her nse the Ivanhoe property, where he is at liberty to share the shelter if he wish. The case of Lucretia Mayhcw against her husband, Frank, was again called, but Lucretia had gone back to Steuben ville, and the Court did not care to take her evidence by telephone. Frank's attornev said his client had prepared a cage for the Ijird at No. 707 Peun avenue, a furnished room.and was willing to live with her and support her, but she utterly refused to live with him. Tho Court Falls to Decide. The Court was in dnuht whether the offer of a furnished room, food and clothing, wero sufficient to satisfy the requirements of Mrs. Mayhcw, while Frank'8 attorney in sisted they ere. The defendant was sen tenced to pay costs, but tho case is held vnder advisement. Itichard Tjse, of Lawrenceville, ap peared in court and stated that Maud had relented, but as he had nit yet secured em )i!ovment he could not pay costs. He said he vould liquidate as soon as he could, and went auay with the shadow of recall over him if he fail to comply. Lillie and Howard E. Frederick have not yet been able to settle their trouble, and Attorney McQuaide said Frederick was willing to pay Lillio G a Keek in advance, hut did not want to give bail. Lillie's attorney, Mr. Osborne, insisted that Frederick's promise v-ssnot sufficient, but it would he accepted if the amount were paid a year in advance. The Court agisted with Mr." McQuaide that this was asking too much. Mr. McQuaide also stated that Frederick was willing to again try to live with Lillie, but Mr. Os borne insisted that nothing short of a bail bend Mould be worth anvthing, as he, the attorney lrlt sure, would" be non est when wanted. The case was again continued. Several Mismatcd Couples. Five divorce suits were entered yesterday and two divorcs were granted. Attomevs Bobb & Fitzsimmons filed the suit of Rebecca S.

The petitioners claim the decree discharging Baum from all hi debts should he annulled. SIAKDAMUS GBAHTED. Judge White Decides In XfeTor of Deputy District Attorney Goehring. Jndge White yesterday handed down an opinion in the mandamus proeeedingi brought by Deputy District Attorney Goehring to compel the Controller to pay him his salary. Toe opinion is concurred in by Judge Ewing. It sustains the legality of the appointment of a deputy district at torney, though Controller Grief is sustained in one point in his case. In his opinion Judge White states there is a necessity for the District Attorney having assistance in the trial of cases, and nndcr the act of 1867 the Assistant District At tornev could not be called upon to try cases. Besides, he is engaged with the grand jury when assistance in the trial of cases is most needed. Continuing the law was reviewed and the appointment sustained. As to the payment of -the deputy's salary, the Con troller was supported in his position that he should be paid from the fees of the office. If there was a shortage in the amount of the fees it must fall on the District At torney, as the deputy and clerks must bo paid in full. It was thought, however, that with a regular deputy the business could be expedited and the lees collected increased so that in the end there would be no loss. In conclnsion the peremptory mandamus was granted. BEFUSED A HEW TBIAL, James IT. Taylor Sentenced One Tear and One Month for Miraslanslitor. Judge Porter yesterday refused a new trial in the case of James N. Taylor, con victed of manslaughter in the killing of Henry Bbwmaster at Duqucsnc last Decem ber. His counsel, J. M. McQuade, made a touching plea in Taylor's behalf, and Judga Porter said he recognized that Taylor had considerable excuse tor acting as lie did un der the circumstances, and felt warranted in making the sentence as light as the law would allow. He then sentenced Taylor to one year and one month to the penitentiary. Other sentences imposed: Dennis Gal lagher, assault and battery, three mouths to the workhouse; Pat Gallagher, aggravated assault and battery, one year to the work house; Wilson Somers, felonious cutting, one year aud six months to the workhouse. Jacksonlan Club Ketaed a Charter. Judge White yesterday handed down an opinion refusing to grant a charter for the Jacksonian Club. The purpose of the club as set forth in the application is "to main tain a club for social enjoyment." Judge White in his opinion said the application should set forth particularly the character of social enjoyments and how they are to be conducted so the judge mav be satisfied the organization comes within the class named in the act of Assembly, and that these social enjoyments are lawful and not in jurious to the public Ho said: "Some people may consider certain things or amusements as social enjoyments -nhicli are unlawful and generally regarded as injuri ous to the public. For example, soma men might consider playing cards for money or other games of like character, or n drinking club as social enjoyment"." Iu conclusion the application wes refuted. It ant 810,000 From the West End 1.1 ne. Matthew and Mary Wagner yesterday en tered suit against the Pittsburg aud West Eud Passenger Bailwar Company for 510,000 for injuries to Mrs. Wagner.
