Aa Mrs. Part ngton sajs, "there's noth ing like a trial of the domestic infaciliiies of people to d it tract tbe attention ol the pub'.ic." This is certainly being verified in the divorce case of Cora M. Findley against Eli R. Findley, the trial of which was resumed in the circuit court yester day afternoon . Te gods and little fishes; how hot it wast f And the teat was not tempered by the long, tediom and repetitious cross examination of tbe complainant which occupied the bulk of tbe afternoon ses sion. The major tried his best to break the force of her testimony or involve her in some glaring contradictions, but she maintained substantially the same story that tbe told in chief. Tbe usual amount of slush was injected into the ex amination, the sole purpose being to cater to the depraved taste of the large audience who seemed to cloat over a little filth or a double entendre as a precious morsel Briefly stated Mrs. Findiey testified to the fact that her husband was in the habit of getting drun't and abusing her, and also that on three occasions he choked her and at one time he struck her. As to bis unfaithfulness she knew noth ing except that he stayed away from home nights, went to tbe neighboring village, across tt e river, and claimed to know sporting women there, and was re portei to he that kind of a man. She was still suffering f Dm the attack of inflam matory rheum a ism mentioned in our last report, bad to be carried into court and reclined while testifying. The de fense claimed tb.it this is mere shamming and characterize i her sickness as a fraud enacted for its effect upon the jury. Mis Jane Gr tfio. the mother of tbe complainant, was the next witness. Her testimony was ir brief, that Mr. Findley was in tbe habit of staying out nights and coming borne drunk, and that when drunk be was mean anil ugly to his wife. She detailed particularly tbe trouble culrain aiing in the sepiration and said it was ciusc.1 by bis ducking, tbat he never accused his wife of unfaithfulness, but said she was keeping company with women who were putting bis wife up to boss or run bim and he wasn't going to he hos$t-d by any woman; tbat he was going to leave bis wife; that witness said for bim to po bene and think about it and then if be concluded best to go, to go q iietly; tbat lie then went home, and upon her follow ng him there as she agreed, she found be had smashed the stoves, cbairs. dinbes fcnd other articles of bnutithold furniture to smitbereenB. While the exartiiration was in progress court adjourned intil this morning. A ter an hour's preliminary business the court took c p tbe broken thread of the case at about 10 o'clock this morn ing. Tte niminaticn of Mrs. Griflin was concluded in aboi l an hour, nothing of a sensational character being devel oped, and the ent re time occupied in the recital of little family jus. It was as tedi ous and uninteresting as a November cray. Numerous conversations between the par ties were state 1, many tf which bad no bearing on the Iss le, but the burden of them all was tbat if tbe defendant were given tbe cbi:il he did not care what steps were taken us to tbe divorce. Mr. Kenwortby conducted tbe cross examination and got tbe witness com pletely befuddled. The points made were tbat tbe bad onl.7 tetn Mr. Findley six times in three yeura and of these times only three when ha was "full" whereas in chief she had said that she had seen him at least 20 times a year. Also that she had but a limited knowledge of any acts of cruelty depending solely upon statements made by;her daughter. Dr. A- H.Arp was then called and said tbat be was called to see the complainant shortly after the attempted abduction of the child oy Mr. Findley. th it she was suffering from a fain in her chest and arm but that upon examination no ribs were broken . He said that be was called to treat her last Thursday and found her Buffering from inflammatory rheumatism, and tbat it was impassible for her to walk on her foot or bear any weight on it.

It bas been known for some time that Aid. J. C. Adams contemplated resign ing his seat as m mber of the municipal assembly from the Seventh ward in view of the fact that be expects to spend most of his time during the winter and spring in Chicago, where he has arranged to study law. But it was not expected tbat bis resignation would come with tbe abruptness with which it was presented at last eight's council. meeting.' A'd- Adams bad made a strong plea for tbe improve sent of Seventh avenue east of Elm street. An ordinance had been presented for doing the work by special assessment, in lieu of which Mr. Adams offered a resolution that it be done by general taxation, accompanying the same with an earnest and able speech. The res olution, however, was tabled, and a sub sequent motion by Mr. Adams that the city expend f 500 on the improvement failed of passage, whi'e the special assess ment ordinance was referred. Now. if there is one thing for which Aid. Adams has worked long and faithfully, it is the improvement of Seventh avenue. Ithas been his hope by day and his dream by night. Lasrnigbt Mr. Adams expected to see tbe realiz ition of his fondest antic ipations. But it cime not. It was on this account that Mr. Adams, follow ing tbe example of the late illustrious New York senator, on the impulse of tbe moment resigned his seat, stating that it was evident to him tbat tbe council was prejudiced against tbe Seventh ward. Tbe mayor advised tbe alderman to put his resignation in writing, and he did it. The alderman reiterates his opinion that the council will not treat the Seventh ward friendly and as he was sent to tbe to accomplish certain things for the ward, he believes it his duty to resign in failing to do so. Mr. Adams left with his family for Chi cago at noon today. The Akgcs thinks it would be wiser for Mr. Adams to reconsider his resignas tion undtr the present circumstances, and if he sees the wisdom of offering it later on for good reasoas.he would le ive the coun cil under more pleasant conditions, than in the fury of disappointment. Oliii.ary. Frederick Arthur, son of Lafayette Cameron and wife, died at his parents' borne, 723 Sixth avenue, at S:10 o'clock last evening of consumption, aged two years. Tbe funeral occurred from his parents' home this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock . Sunday night at hu residence in Dav enport occurred the death of Dr. P. F. Berger, aged 73 years. He had resided in Davenport 20 years. During his res idence there he had made many warm friends who will sincerely mourn bis death . He leaves with bis wife, one son Edward, a member of the firm of Staby. Bereer & Snell. The funeral occurred thi morning at 10 o'clock. Asmus Nissen, for a number of years in tbe employ of M. Scbnell of this city died at L-iSalle on Saturday of typhoid fever, aged 83 years. Deceased was a member of Hecker lodge Hi. I. O. O F., of this city, and the remains weie brought to Davenport from when place tbe funeral occurred this afternoon at 2 o'clock, tbe interment being made in Cbippiannock cemetery. Mr. Nissen leaves a wife "and five children. Word wa9 received in the city yester day announcing the death at Benton Wis., on tbe tbe 18th inst.. of Joseph H. Barnett, formerly of Rock Isl and, aged 79 years. Mr. Barnett was well known to 11 the older residents of tbe city, having teen in the employ of George VV. D Htrris, wnen the latter wa9 in tbe implement business, and af terward employed in the same business at Aledo on bis own account, after which he was encaged in railroad contracting with Reynolds & Co and was street commissioner under Mr. Reynolds' ad ministration as myor. Shortly after be left the city on account of sickness in his family. OUR PUBLIC BIHlMNG. The Warren Lot Selected as the Site. Commisstearr A rj Klr.t Choice : the Lot at Sixteenth and Mi-eond ana Itl. Xrxt, Nineteenth. ma A Third. The site for Rock Island's public build ing has been selected. The Warren lot at the southwest corner of Second avenue and Sixteenth street is Commissioner Avery's preference and the Marshall-Ferguson property at the north west corner of Third and Nineteenth is second choice. This information is con veyed by the following Washington tele gram to today's Chicago Tribune: Tbe special treasury agent who in spected the sites offered for the public building at Rock Island. Ill . ha Tprnm. mended as first choice the property on io BuumweBi corner oi second avenue and Sixteenth street, and aa a choice that on the northwest corner of inira avenue and Nineteenth street. Either of the sites can be nronntvd for $10,000. This may be reasonablv exnected to settle the question of location of Rock Island's public building. O? course the selection is bound to cause much gratifi cation and no little disappointment. This was expected. It is the natural outcome of tverv location the govern ment makes of a public building. It is so in every city where a public building is erected. It is not now probable that tbe special comnfssion heretofore believed ould be appointed will come to Rock Island. The next step will no doubt be tbe purchase of tbe favored property, and tbe acceptance of plans. While as above stated there will be many disappointed, it is to be booed no one in Rock Island will follow the very bad example of disappointed property holders a. ong the Hennepin canal route and cause delay in actual construction by stirring up a row with the government. ......
