On Sunday night last, the cigar store of Mr. Machado in Port Royal Street, was broken into, but strange to say, among the large stock of cigars, not one was missing. The only thing stolen was 10s. in nickel coin and 5s. in silver. In the same drawer from which the money was taken, was a large quantity of postage stamps, but these were also left untouched.

The Registrar General's abstract of births and deaths in the Kingston District last month gives 100 births and 54 deaths. The latter number compares favourably with 150 deaths in April, 1881 and of those 54 deaths 8 occurred in public institutions. The full death rate was only 17.7 per 100. Two of the deaths were put down to diphtheria, 1 to malignant sore throat and 2 to remittent fever. Twenty- four of the deceased were under five years of age. Sixty seven of the 100 births were illegitimate.

As was announced in our advertising columns yesterday, the well-known business of Mr. Augustus Alexander in this city will hereafter be continued by the firm of Augustus Alexander and Co., at their lately acquired premises, 50 Port Royal Street. Yesterday afternoon the double change was agreeably celebrated at the new premises, where several gentlemen connected with commerce, the law, the press, etc. met Messrs. Frederick and Albert Alexander, by invitation, and drank success to the new firm in bumpers of champagne. No name is more honorably known in business circles here than that of Alexander, and perhaps no premises more suitable for the growing trade to which Messrs Augustus Alexander & Co. will devote their attention, could be found than the above named....

Mr. Alexis Silvera of this city writes to us with regard to the paragraph in yesterday's Gleaner about cassava cakes, and states that a large supply of these cakes manufactured by him is already in the hands of his New York agent for sale. He says further that persons here often give him orders for the delivery of the cakes to their friends in New York, in as small quantities as one dozen packs, at 4s 6d or its equivalent. Mr. Silvera says he is communicating with the Editor of the New York Sun on the subject. We hope Mr. Silvera will find his business grow, and we may repeat our assertion that if the cakes become known in New York they will quickly gain great popularity.

June 17, 1882

COURT OF DIVORCE

The above Court met yesterday morning for the purpose of hearing the case of Magnus v. Magnus. This was a suit filed by the petitioner, Jeane [sic] Marie Magnus, against her husband, Walter Simon Magnus, respondent, for a judicial separation, on the grounds of violence received at his hands from time to time. The Attorney General, instructed by Mr. Advocate Lindo, appeared for the petitioner. The respondent was not represented by Counsel, and did not appear. The Attorney General opened the case, by describing the injuries received by Mrs. Magnus from time to time since marriage. She was married on the 7th December 1875, to the respondent, by the Revd. Father Dupont, and had four children as the result of the marriage. All went well until after the birth of the first child, then a series of cruelties commenced. At one time, while Mrs. magnus was enceinte, he gave her a terrible beating; he frequently drew a revolver, and threatened to shoot her, the children and himself, and at one time actually fired off the contents of the revolver, the ball lodging in his own shoulder. He gave the children strong liquors to drink and made them kneel and abuse the mother; he threatened to carry a loose woman in the house, and remarked that if his wife was not civil to her, she would get the worst of it. Once at dinner he smashed all the crockery, even that out of which the petitioner was eating; one evening a gentleman was entertained at the house, and after he left, he found that his pipe was broken; he put the blame on his wife and severely chastised her; he then after taking off his heavy boot beat the children with it; at one time he gave all the servants two weeks pay and discharged them, and compelled the petitioner to be her own servant; he was always provided with a revolver, and whenever he quarrelled with her, he secured his pistol on his person. On one occasion he was consulting with his mother and sister about some property which had been left by his father for a nephew; he asked the opinion of his wife and it being adverse to his, he dealt her a blow which knocked her to the ground. Mrs. Magnus was then called, and for over two hours occupied the Court in relating the injuries sustained by her since marriage, and also informed the Court that over and over again has she forgiven him, he having asked pardon at her feet, but now seeing that it was impossible for her to live any longer in peace and happiness, she had determined to get a judicial separation if possible.

Dr. Phillippo gave evidence to the effect that he was a physician to the family, and on several occasions he has attended Mrs. Magnus; she has always suffered from mental depression and weakness, and he was of opinion that injuries such as those described, would be the cause of producing it.

Father Dupont was called to prove the marriage, which he did.

Mr. A. E. Burke testified as to the income received by Mr. Magnus, amounting to £420, which was paid to Mr. Magnus weekly.

The learned Judge, after hearing the above, said he considered the petitioner had established her claim on all points, and granted the order with costs. He further ordered that £220 per annum be given for the support of herself and children, which will be under her charge.

DEATH OF MR. LOUIS GOLDSMITH

The news of the death of Mr. Louis Goldsmith reached this city on Thursday, 17th inst., by cable. The deceased was a native of Jamaica, and was a partner in the firm of D. Goldsmith & Co., in Panama. Mr. D. Goldsmith left the Isthmus some years ago and settled in London, leaving the management of the business to his nephew and partner, Mr. R. C.

When three days out from Colon, he died on board the steamer Ailsa, and was buried at sea.
