Divorces (1883)

SHATTERED IDOLS

Two Hundred Sad Stories in One-Line Paragraphs

The record which follows is one of more than ordinary interest. Each one-line item is a volume. Each is a history of tears and sorrow. All tell of wrecks upon the sea of matrimony and of shattered idols on the hearthstone. The causes of separation, when considered statistically, are very striking. Desertion has caused the greatest number of divorces, 81; cruelty comes next with 54; the next is “failure to provide,” with 30; next, adultery, with 18; extreme cruelty comes next with 17; then intemperance with 14; then neglect, 13; wilful neglect and conviction for felony are equal with 4 each; habitual intemperance has but 3; previous marriages and mutual separations have one each to their credit. There were about 250 divorces in this city during the past year. Up to last evening the record below is complete:

THE DIVORCE MILL

The Marital Separations Judicially Decreed Last Year.

Of 371 divorces granted during the past year in this city, 31 were because of adultery and 100 on the ground of cruelty. Desertion was the most frequent cause, 128 divorces having been obtained on that account. This shows that even in these easy-going days of legal separation the majority prefer to leave their mates when no pleasure is found in living together. The number of other causes which led to marital trouble were as follows: Failure to provide, 47; intemperance, 26; neglect, 16; conviction of felony, 7; and 7 of various others. For 9 divorces no ground was found recorded in the Court minutes. Classified alphabetically under their proper heads, the divorces of the year follow:
