The game of base ball played on the grounds
Of the Chesapeakes, between that nine and the
Derby's, Of st. Georges, resulted ina victory
for the Derby's By score Of 10 to 10. We re-

resulted in a victory for the Stars, after
four innings had been played, by q score Of
~ to 8. The game was called on account Of

A Leading baltimore Firm Establishes n
Branch House in London.

4 Leading Baltimore Firm Estnblisnes u
Branch House In London.
From the Baltimore Gazette.
1t is interesting and gratifying to note
the iactthat MeSSrs. VIM. knabe & Co., one
Of BaItimore's leading manufacturing
firms, has been solicited by a great London
music house to establish m agency in that
city iorihe sale of their pianos throughout
Great Britain. The London firm referred
to is the leading music house OF the Eng.
lish metropolis, MeSSrs. Metzlcr & Co., OF
Great Marlborough street, whose estab-
lishmcnt is familiar TO nil Americans who
travel abroad. This gives TO Messns:
knabc q Co. an agency covering all oil
Great Britain, and also an outlet for theirin-
strumentS throughout Continental Europe.
1t is, OF course, unnecessary TO speak of
the excellence OF the kna6e pianos; but
while they are so widely known through
out the United States, their reputation
abroad and the demand for them in other
countries, to such IN extent Us to prompt
the leading Lopdon firm to purchase them
directly, is an event in the piano trade Of
America worthy OF special mention. Bal.
timore is to be Congratulated upon the en-
terprisc Of such q wide-awake and public
spirited house as that Of knabc & Co.,
Through whose efforts our manufactures
have gained an cnviable reputation in
other countries us well Us in the United
States. MeSSrs. NlttZler & Co.'S repre-
sentative visited Baltimore few days ago
and closed the final arrangements with
NIessrs Knabe & CO., leaving with them
large orders and bespeaking an extensive
business in the early future. A large ship
ment Of grand and upright pianos the
STYLES most desired in European cities
was made duringthc present week, and il
is probable that ,AIeSSrS. Knabe 4 Co. will
find it necessary TO increase their force OF
employees TO meet this extra demand, as
their large force is now'taxed to its fullest
capacity in supplying the home trade for
their instruments.

A crnrous case has recently been tried
in New York by IN ecclesiastical court,
appointed by Cardinal McCloskey. 1t is
that Of woman who seeks to have her
marriage, solemnized in 1859 by Arch
bishop Hughes, declared no marriage on
the ground that the man she married was
Protestant and the ceremony was that
prescribed for use when both parties are
Catholics. The applicant is lfs. James
D. Hill, whose husband, at the time OF
their marriage was very wealthy south
crner. Her father was also very wealthy,
French merchant OF New Orleans. On
the wedding day, the brides father gave
the husband check for $4,000. The
latter tore it up, remarkins that he did not
wed for pccuniary consideration. For a
few years the young couple lived happily,
spending their lime in demonstrating,
travelling and entertaining. The war
came and Mr.. Hilrssourccs of wealth were
closed. His father-in.law, wiser than he,
had seen the storm coming, sold out his
southern possessions and betaken himself
to Paris. Mr.. Hill became very poor, so
poor that he could not provide for his wife
and three children. Mrs. Hill accepted
the offer OF home for herself and children
with her father. In 1874 she! beeanpro-
Ceedings for divorce in New York. 1t
was denied on the ground that sufficient
cause was not shown. Application in
New Jersey was crowned with success
But Mrs. Hill was Catholic. Her church
iorbids its COMMITMENTS, evenifdivorced
by the CIVILIAN, toremarry. Arich French
noblcman sought her hand. She promised
to be his wife il the sanction of the church
could be obtained. This could only be
secured BY showing that her first marriage
was no marriage. The lawyers ascertain
ed that Mr.. Hill was Protestant and that
the archbishop had performed the wrong
ceremony. The case waslaid before Pope
Plus IN, who remanded it to Cardinal Nc
Closkey, with instructions to order an
ecclesiastical court This court was com
posed otvicar General Quinn, Rev. DR..
NcGlynn and Father Farrell, thecardinals
secretary. 1t has just concluded its in
quiry. sproceedings will bereviewed by
the, cardinal andaby him forwarded to
Rome for final action by Pope Leo. II he
decide there was no marriage Mrs. Hill
will wed the Frenchman. Before the
church court Mr.. Hill opposed the an
nullinS OF the marriage only because it
would render Legitimate the children.
This consideration docs not, seem to
trouble Mis-. Hill. To rid herselfofa hate
full bond she seeks as Adelina Patti did, to
he declared to have been no wife all the
years she held the relation of wife. But
Patti was childlesS
