AMONG those who applied to Dr. LIE Moyne
for permission to witness the incineration OF
Mrs. Pitman, at Washington, Penn, was Miss
Emma Abbott. The proprietor of the furnace
most she could do was to ride out to the scene
OF incrematiOn and talk with Mr.. Pitman
after the close of the ceremony. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer states she professed an ardent
belief in incineration, and expressed desire
to have her own remains disposed of in this
manner after death.

y singular ease that has occupied the court.
OF common pleas for some DAVIS was brought
10 close yesterday. Mr.. William H. Hynes,
of 81: Louis, a gentleman possessed of consid-
cradle property, formed the acquaintance of a
lady in London in 1871, and. while no marriage
ceremony was performed, lived with and ac.
knowledged her as his wife. After the birth
OF TWO children, about year ago, Mr.. Hynes
was thrown from his carriage and received
fatal injuries. When he recovered conscious
ness the first words he uttered were a request
that his wife and children might be brou ght
TO him. After his death his sisters adminiS-
tered TO his estate i'm this country on the rep
reSentatiOn that he had died unmarried and

rem, and the suit which has just terminated
was Drought TO test the question whether her
alliance with the deceased was a marriage
recognized as valid by the law. The case was
fought with much bitterness by the relatives
OF the deceased, by whom the services of a pri-
vate detective agency had been called into
requlsltion 10 ferret out the life history of the
pantif i'm the suit The detectives discovered
nothing to her diScredit. The verdict was
given without hesitation for the plaintiff the
jury evidently being convinced that in all but
mere form she was the faithful wife of the
deceased, and was recognized, trusted and
beloved as such by him TO his dying hour As
the happy mother left the court room with her
children II was evident that the sympathy OF
the bench, the bar, and the spectators was
with her, and that the finding Of the Jury was
regarded by all as a Just and righteous YER
