While he does not charge Marena with adultery, he says she kept the company of men and women of loose morals. In July last she abandoned him, and her whereabouts are unknown. William is a farmer and teamster. Colonel Gray yesterday called on the Criminal Court and paid fines in the following cases against his lottery agents: Charles Glazier, four cases; Josiah F. Moulton, one case; Louis G. Bright, one case; Levi Waller, one case; Daniel Casey, one case; and David E. Scott, one case. The fine in each case was $10 and the costs $11,55. The total amount paid was $215.55, and accompanying this was an agreement to go and sin no more. Carrie L. Burton has begun the new year with an application for divorce from John C. Burton, whom she married in October, 1876. Carrie alleges that for six years John has neglected to provide for her and her children. The 20th of last month he abandoned her and went to Texas. The complaint says that inas- much as John is not able nor fit to have the care of the children, and inasmuch as Carrie is both able and fit to take them and care for them she asks for a decree to conform to the eternal fitness of things as above set forth. Carrie is owner of the grocery at 624 North Mississippi street. She says that as a judgment against John would be but a burden on the court records and of no earthly use, she does not want it. The Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company yesterday filed suit for restraining order and injunction against the Central Union Telephone Company. The complaint alleges that it is incorporated under the laws of Maryland, the defendant under the laws of this State and the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany under the laws of New York. Since the plaintiff has put up its lines and established its office here it has entered into competition with the Western Union, which company uses the telephonic instruments and wires of the defendant for the purpose of receiving the business to be transacted over its wires. The plaintiff applied for an instrument for the same purpose, and offered to pay in advance for its use, but it was refused. It is charged that the defendant by this course is favoring the Western Union and injuring the plaintiff's business. The complaint intimates that there is no disposi- tion to sue the defendant for damages in each case where it has failed to secure business because it had not the use of the defendant's wires and instruments, for the reason that the suits would be numerous, and would cause endless liti- gation and pile up costs. For this reason the Court is asked to compel defendant to rent the use of its wires and in- struments to plaintiff, so that it may have and equal chance with the Western Union, its great competitor. ==========================================================================
