THE SULLIVAN DIVORCE CASE. Judge Allen Refuses To Grant The
 Wife a Bill.

Wife B1ll.
 BOSTON, May 29.-At the opening of the court this morning Judge Allen delivered his opinion in the Sullivan divorce case. He reviewed every act of cruelty alleged and said that such of them might have once enti- tied the hbellant to divorce had been con doned by her. The acts committed subse quent to this condensation were either not divorce. In regard to the charge of gross and confirmed drunkenness, the court held that while the defendant undoubtedly drank to excess, his habit could not be called gross and confirmed. It had not been shown, moreover, that the habit had been contracted after marriage. The judge remarked that, had the case been that of an innocent young girl, the circum- stances would have been different. The i- bellant was woman of mature age who sought Sullivan out, knowing what he was, and lived year with him before marriage. Many of the acts charged rested wholly upon her unsupported testimony which testimony had been shaken during the trial by many things, including her inability to remember material facts. Of course a man must not ill treat wife who was his mistress before marriage, and this ibellant shall receive proper protection from the court, but in this case the charges had not been sustained.

 GENERAL CHANT.
 A Had Night And Dr. Shrady Kept
 At His Side Much Of The Night.
 NEW YORK, May 29.-From a perfectly trustworthy source it is learned that in Oc- tober and again in March General Grants physicians thinking there might be one chance in thousand that the cancer diagno- sis might be wrong placed the patient under special treatment for another disease. The result was bad and fully confirmed the pro- priety of the treatment for cancer. At re- cent consultation Dr. Sands expressed the opinion that death will occur in about three months. Dr. Shrady said within six months. The disease is spreading slowly but surely. On the April morning when the gen eral was supposed to be dying Dr. Newman said to Mrs. Grant, ''It is all over, will baptize him." He went quickly to another room, got bowl filled it with water, came back, dipped his hand in the water and said: ''I baptize thee, Ulysses Simpson Grant, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost." The general slowly raised his hand and said, q thank you." Then turning to his family: 1T bless you all." To Dr. Newman he added, q had intended to attend to this myself , Meanwhile the physicians consulted in a corner of the room and Dr. Shrady determined to inject brandy. This treatment revived the general and Dr. Newman came in again from the next room. He said, ''Our prayers. have been answered. But Dr. Shrady responded, sI think it was the brandy" Dr. Douglass said to-day that he had not been at the generals side so much on any night for month past as he was last night. The patient only slept about three hours altogether owing to pains in the throat and The doctor thinks the pains are caused by the general getting chilled during yesterdays ride.
