EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION. Judge Field Besenta MBad Faith" Toward the Court, SIR. LOUIS' STATEMENT The fllvoree ae of HaQnah. T. Botto arainst William M.

Botto, to which attention was called by the. Courier-Jour, rial day before yesterday, the plaintiff tiarln riven notice that ahe had not authorised the suit, waa dismissed at he Joint serslon yesterday by Judge Field. In passing; upon the esse, the Judge, railed attention to the fact that the petition stated that the parties, Hannah T. Botto and William M. Botto, were married In New York cly on December 10, 1S35.

There waa nothing In the petition to show that either of the parties had ever lived in this city before that time, though It stated that the plaintiff had been a resident of this State and county since tier marriage. It also contained the statement that she had been a resident for more than on year last past before the Institution of the action, this being- a tafutory condition precedent to the maintenance of a divorce suit. The petition charged that the defendant had been guilty of cruel and Inhuman treatment for six months preceding the filing of the action. The suit was filed on June 13, last, just six months and three days after the marriage. An answer was filed almost Immediately after the filing of the petition, proof was.

taken and the cane submitted by consent. The two witnesses whose depositions were taken by the plalntiA stated that she had lived In this city since her marriage. They also Stated that she had lived here for more than one year preceding the tiling of the action. Judge Field held that the record QUESTIONS ftND ANSWERS- Louisville. Ts tt possible for lightning to strike the same ilaue twk-T K.

M. AND B. Llxhtnlng ran strike the same place a hundred Utaaa. The belief that It can not may have either of two foundations: First, generally strikes a treat a steeple, or some other projecting object, which It destroys, and which, therefore. It can Stot strike again.

Secondly, there is a Cora men belief that when an- event has ence It ts lews likely to recur tn the same way. For instance, on tossing 'a cola. If the coin has fallen head up nee, most people will ery "titv for the next toss, under the belief that, the fer- 'mer event having taken place, the ether possible event ts more likety to follow. la one of Marryatt's tales there is an eo-centrle man-of-war sailer who mom-snends the young midshipman, in case of a battle, to notice where the first shot strikes the vessel, and to stick his head Into the rfcele. beoause the chances are great that no other shot will strike the vessel tn the mm spot.

This is a mathematical fallacy, so far as the theory of probabilities Is concerned; marking any spot whatever In the vessel before the battle began. It would be safe to wager very heavy odds that bo shot would strike that particular pot. and still heavier odds that two ahota would aot strike it. But after the first hit. the probabilities of a second hit are.

as a. matter of mere chance, just as high as. and ne higher than, the probabillUee of the first had been before, the event. la 'the same way. If a coin be tossed fairly.

the ehancea are even on Its coming beads -the first time, and. it it doee come beada the first time, the chances are then even en Its coming heads sgain the second Una. libtninghowever. It Is not a mat tar of mere chance. Taking at random sny house In a large city, without een- sldertng anything In the structure or surroundings of that bouse, the chances are easily a million to one that that house will not be struck tn the severest storm, but when, a house haa ence been struck, unless the cause of the stroke has been discovered and removed, or been destroyed by the first stroke.

It is more likely that that house will be again struck than ether houses in the city. Somerset. few days while excavating on a place on North, Main street, in this city. 1 found. etht and a half feet under ground, a genuine petrifled him.

The old State road ran close to where thia ham waa found.

There can be so doubt that spiders do very wonderful things, and yet all that they do can be explained. One thing which Is apt to be forgotten Is that spider can draw In a length of web a well as let It out. In thia way the creature Is able to let himself down from tree, crawl on the ground to another tree, climb up, and then haul In the lack wlu, which will then serve aa bridge A single line of web stretched like this la too fine to be seen except when the light falls on It la one particular way. Another method of making a bridge la lor the 'spider to swing on one thread. taking advantage of a breese to swing him to the other side of the Intervening space.

Louisville. Please explain the reason whv those small creatures resembling water-dogs appear on the streets after a bard rain.

"This case.

he said, 'bears the marks of being an agreement. The suit Is too harmonious: there Is not enough friction for a divorce suit. The court was passing on to the next case, when Attorney Goldsmith called attention to the fact that there was a matter pending. Mr. Goldsmith states, as the Courier-Journal set forth on Friday, that he had been authorised to dismiss the case by Mrs.

Botto, who Is In New York, and who stated that the suit had been filed without her knowledge or consent. "Your Honor. said Mr. Goldsmith, rising, we have been employed In that ease, and there is a motion by the plaintiff to dismiss without prejudice." -It has been dismissed." replied the court. "The motion Is on the docket for persevered Mr.

Goldsmith. said Judge Field with some warmth, "there Is evidence here of a practice which the court feels called upon to condemn. It la evident in this case that the court has not been treated with the good faith that the court has a right to expect. While It will content Itself with saying no more at the present time. It may as well be understood that If another occasion Is offered the court will not hesitate to condemn it to the extent that the English language enables it to do so." The suit was filed, as waa stated before In the Courier-Journal, by Attorney Ed M.

Louis, while the defendant was represented by H. Turner Wilson. Mr. Ixuia says that he filed the suit under the authority of a telegram from Mrs. Hot to telllna- him to act under the direction of W.

M. Botto, the defendant. Messrs. Wilson St Goldsmith say that Mr. Botto wrote them that she did not know Mr.

liouls and had not given him any authority to aue. The case was on ilf riot Ice docket on the above motion" to dismiss without prejudice. When It was called halt an hour later. Attorney Louts arose and stated that he had acted In perfect faith In the matter. He said that a suit for divorce on different grounds from those alleged in the case had been contemplated, and that it bad been deemed bent to file this suit in order to avoid the publioity and scandal.

Mr. Louis had a letter from Mrs. Botto to her husband In which she stated that she had communicated with him. Louis, In regard to the suit. Mr.

Louis also produced the telegram from Mrs. Botto under which he acted. It Is as follows: "New York, June II. Kd M. Louis.

Court Place: Act according to Will Botto'a Instructions for me. "MRS. W. U. BOTTO.

Mr. Louts also had a tedegram of the same date in which Mrs. Botto informed her husband that she had telegraphed the attorney. Mr. Louis says that Mrs.

Botto had lived here for a year preceding the Institution of the suit. of their weaker Inhabitants should be left high and dry when the little flood abates. Jeffersonvllle, lad. What Is the meaning an "oil braaa" In nnnnt u.n tth cannon L- S. A.

Probably the Vavasour break, which in modern heavy gun-carriages, like those used In the turrets and main batteries of war ships, la eemetimee used to serve the purpose of breaking the recoil of the gun. Instead of the old-fashioned rope breech- Ings, which used to be passed through blocks and held by men. these carriages have the breach of the gun connected with a piston rod. which works In a cylinder fun of oil. The cylinder ts connected with a system of small tubes, so that the recoil drives the oil through a very small pas-ssge, and the resistance to Its paasage checks the backward movements of the gun 'without jarring.
