Before Judge Pratt
certain Mr.. Elenburger, residing. in South
Fourth street, had christening az his house one
night last December and invited few OF his friends
to participate in the festivities OF the occasion.
Among those who were present was dashing
German miss. Sallie Rothermet who was accom-
panied by August Brucks. During the evening the
host produced four bottles OF Rhine wine which
the guests partook Of Sallie imbibng so freely that
she gradually settled into degree OF MODIFICATION
which rendered her somewhat unmindful OF what
transplred about her. While In this state the
minister, Rev. Mr. Neander, who had per.
formed the christening ceremony, married
marriage she went to her own house Brucks
went his own way On the following morning Sal
lie went to brucks' store to collect some money Tor
newspapers she had delivered TO nim, and then
she became aware of the fact that they had been
married. She had no recollection OF the ceremony,
absolutely refused to live with him, and subse-
quently instituted proceedings Ter divorce from
the bonds OF matrimony. The case was sent TO
referee, when the above state OF facts transpired.
The defendant failed to appear or interpose any
defence and the referee reported in favor OF allow
ing the divorce. Judge Pratt yesterday confirmed
the report.

THE BOYS, VICTORY.

Mass Meeting of Working Boys in Cooper
Institute Last Night-Thcy Form a
Strong Organization to Secure Their
Rights.
The Working Boys Protective Association held a
meeting in room a. Cooper Institute, last night.
]. ]. Joyce presided and John +. Fanngan acted as
secretary. The meeting was attended by some
three hundred boys, and was very orderly and well
conducted. The Chairman was the first one to ad-
dress the meeting He said they had met to form
q working boys association that should rest on q
good foundation. They were now at least in a
fair way OF getting what they had en-
deavored to obtain for such a long time
more baths and a good ball ground. 1t was also
their intention to start a bureau for the employ
ment OF boys who were out OF work and to help
one another in cases OF sickness, out OF u common
fund for that purpose. The social benefits OF the
them together AZ friends: Il would INSURE them
with confidence, so that they would never be COM
PEELED TO suffer any wrongs in the future, but
would feel selI-asSurance to demand and insist
upon their rights. The question was whether such
an association could be formed. He thought 1t
could and that IL would be success. He thought
the foundations on which the Association rested
were already very strong.
The boys clapped their hands with enthusiasm.
j. Ehler then addressed them laying particular
stress upon the ssity for fund TO meet cases
Of sickness in the Association. william Cook said
that the boys would never rest until they mad
.(Applause.)
The Chairman delivered another good speech.
He said that by next Wednesday they should know
for certain whether Tompkins square would be
opened to the boys as playground He told them
TO be united, and cited the example OF the Union
OF the states, who vanqushcd the British army by
reason OF their combined strength, but who would
certainly have succumbed u they had not united
for the purpose. He asked all the boys in the room
to Join the Association The entrance fee was
only twenty-five cents, and the dues ten cents a
week, so that even the poorest boys could join
them. The schooDOys were now organizing TO
keep the upper ball ground in the Park, and as
they intended to get II they must needs organize.
for they would have little fight. Enthusiastic
appause.l
James g. Monday called attention to the fact
that boy living In Fifty street could not
take bath, for he surely could not 90 down to
Charles street every time. There were enough
boys In the Eighth Ninth and sixteenth wards to
Justify the erection OF public bath for those three
wards alone. (Applause.)
large number OF new members-nearly one
hundrcd-were then enrolled, and, after voting
their thanks to Mr. Cooper for the use OF the ROOM
