MEMORIAL SERVICE IN HONOR OF Mr.
EDwAnDs.-We have before us copy oI
the York, Pa, Daily, Of April 6, contain
ing the resolutions Ot respect passed by
the Laurel Fire Company in honor OF
Mr.. Edwards, OF Monndsville, their de-
ceased member, who was member Of the
company at the time he emigrated West in
1900. It seems by the resolutions that a
memorial service was appointed for the
Court House in York last night, at which
"the clergy, firemen and citizens Of the
borough" were invited to attend.
Speaking Of the death Of Mr.. Edwards
at his extraordinary age, leads us .o
remark upon the rather singular circum'
stance that another death in the family
connection Of his son, Michael Edwards,
Of this city, should have followed so soon
thereafter. We refer to the death Of the
mother.in.law Of the latter, Mrs. Abigail
yennum,a at the advanced age of 100 years,
, months and l2 days, whose funeral
takes place this afternoon at 3o'clOck.

The Newcomb Divorce and Will
t;nNe.

Lou1svrI1E, April 7.-The famous do.
mestic tragedy suit. commonly know as
the GNewcomb Case" was decided to-day
by Chancellor Bruce in favor OF the
plaintiff.
The outlines Of the facts are substau-
italy as follows: In 1888 II. D. New.
comb married Miss Cornelia W. Read,
both then being residents Of Louisville.
In 1858 Mrs. Newcomb became
insane and was finally placed in
the Massachusetts hospital at Som.
erville by her husband, and Is now in
that institution, though never iudicially
found to be insane. In 1872 the Ken
lucky Legislature passed an act by which
an additional ground Of divorce was de-
clared to exist in cases where husband or
wife Is. incurably insane, and such insaui-
ty isan hereditary faint not made known
at the marriage. Under this act Mr..
Newcomb obtained divorce, and some
time afterwards was again married and
had two children by this union. In
1874 Mr.. Newcomb, who was then Presi-
dent OF the Louisville, Nashville &Great
Southern railroad, died, leaving large
estate, which be disposed Of by will. At
this juncture the friends ofthe first
wife Instituted asuit, claiming her prop.
erty rights to the estate on the ground
that she never had been legally
divorced. The case has been in court
more than year, and to-day decision
holding the divorce to be absolutely void,
and decreeing to first wife, Mrs. Cornelia
W. Newcomb her property rights as the |
lawful widow Of Il. b. Newcomb was
rendered. The result OF the decision Is
to give the first Mrs. Newcomb one third |
OF her late husbands personal property,
stocks, bonds, money and like, and dover
in lands. The greatness OF the estate
which exceeds over one million and o
half dollars, and the prominence Of the
persons involved in the litigation has
given it an unusal interesting aspect.
The will OF Mr.. Newcomb deyises $780,
900 to the children Of his second mar
riage and to their mother, all Of whom are
now living. The decision does not affect
these provisions or invalidate the will.
An express Kentucky statute removes all
question as to the legitimacy Of the child
ren Of the second marriage and relieves
them from any such imputation.

Of tho Fairmont Trgiaian, which, undel

G.gra.iOn, and says that deeds Of daring
and berOi,m were not infrequcnt." AT
times, however during the progress of
the flames, the fortitude Of even strong
men would give way to their feelings, as
they saw the accumulations Of years melt
rapidly away before their eyes. None
