Court OF Common Pleas, in which the validity OF
the szarriage of William D. Cameron to Miss

ite at social resorts. During the past summer he
inaugurated Irritation with Miss Rosela o Neale
pretty young factory operative. of respectable
family. One evening in september last, while
passing the girls house, he was invited in by her
mother Then and there the parents charged
him with being an uncompromising fiirt, who
had taken advantage OF their daughter, whom he
would do well to marry instantly. Rev. Mr.
Welch, who happened to be convenient, was
called iR, and Cameron made the blushinc Ro-
sella his wife. The next day he aNoke to the
fact that he had made misalliance, and at once
sought to have the marriage declared void.
Judge Cothran charged that if the marriage
ceremony was ratified BY subsequent cohabita
ton the marriage must be sustained, whether or
not the ceremony was entered into under the in
tluence of fear caused by intimidation that If
the contract of marriage had been entered into
involuntariiy, and the contract had not been sub
sequently consummated by cohabitation. then
the marriage must be set aside. The jury found
the following special verdict: "We find that the
plaintiff and the defendant were duly and law

Great Interest in Elections.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-The greatest personal
interest of the whole electoral field centers
in the contest at birmingham between

decided tomorrow. The Duchess of Mari
borough and Lady Churchill, who is the
daughter OF Leonard Jerome, OF New York,
have been making house-to- house canvass
on behalf of Lord Randolph. Each lady is
responsible for a section or district
and the return of number
OF promised votes to the Central Ladies'
Committee. The Duchess and Lady Church
i'll, during their progress through the streets,
were greeted with cheers by the Radicals.
Lady Churchill says that she has visited the
poorest houses in Birmingham. and has en-
countered the roughest people, and, with
one exception, has been received with the
greatest courtesy and politeness. She also
addressed the workmen in the principal fac
tories. Lord Randolph is also candidate

Prohibition in Kansas.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kas., Nov. 22.-This city is
all shaken up over the statement of Attorney
General Bradford that he would come here
on Monday next and commence injunction
proceedings against the saloons and against
the owners of buildings where saloons are
kept, for maintaining instances, under the
State prohibitory law. There are in the city
156 places where liquor is openly sold. They
have never been closed since the law went
into operation, although numerous attempts
have been made to close them, the latest
being injunction proceedings against Black
and McCrystal. The present difficulty is the
direct result OF the election on the Sd in
slant, at which Kellar. Republican candidate
for Sheriff, was defeated by 712 majority, and
each side is now accusing the other of bring
ing about the prosecution. The feeling has
grown so strong that boycott has been in
aUgursted by the aDti-Prohibitionists against
the Times, the Republican morning sheet, on
the ground that it is turning to prohibition
sentiments, although its editor, ID. r..
Anthony, introduced resolution iH the
County Convention c0ndemning the law.
There Is much feeling on both sides, and if
an attempt is made TO enforce the law il is
feared trouble will follow.

La Count. Under the former name the young man
enlisted as private in the marine corps for five
years. After service OF several months
he deserted and came To this CITY,
where he assumed the name Of
George la Count. Under this name he secured

FOULLY MURDERED.
A Negro Cruslies the Skull of Prominent
Pennsylvania Quaker With Hatchet.

CHESTER, Pa, Nov. 23.-John Sharpless.
one of the most prominent orthodox Friends
in Dewaware County, was most foully muir
dered at his farm about two miles from this
city last night. His farm is a part of the
original tract of the pioneer John Sharpless,
of whom he is a lineal descendant and is To-
Gated on lonely road At 9 last night
strange colcred man called at the house
while it was raining. He found Mr. Sharp
less sitting with his family. his wife and two
ladies and nurse. He induced
Mr.. Sbarpless to 90 to the
barn with him for some straps under the
pretext that carriage in which were three
ladies had broken down in the road. When
in the stable the negro struck Mr.. Sharpless
in the head with hatchet, crushing his
skull and killing him instantly After TAX
ing his watch the negro put out the lantern
and returned to the house for the purpose,
it is thought, OF killing all therein. In re-
ply 10 a aquestion he said he wanted money,
and advanced toward one of the women, at
the same time asking what had become of
the young girls whom he missed from the
room. Upon learning that she had gone out
and the colored servant sent for, the
villain left. He went across the fields
in the direction of John LindS'
tarm adjoining, and IL Is supposed hred the
barn to distract attention, for it was burned
down short time after the murder, with all
the crops, farming implements and four
head of horses, entailing a loss of 5000.
The body of John Sharpless was found in
the stable, where he had fallen. He was
very plain. generous, honest man; a well-to-
do farmer, without an enemy in the world,
and his murder is appalling. He was about
sixty-seven years old. He was President of
the Sharpless Bi-centennial Association. and
took an active part in the affairs of his COM
munity and his religious society.

NOVEL SUIT.
Daughter Attempting to Prove Herself of
Illegitimate Birth.

Louisville, Nov. pa special to the
Courier-Journal says that the case of Joseph
Haley. exr., VS.. Samuel Haley, which was
submitted to the Court of Appeals at Frank
fort, on Saturday, is one of the strangest
cases that has ever reached the court for ad-
judicatiOn. The appeal is from Bracken
County, and involves an estate worth upward
of$40,OOO. Thomas Haley died intestate, in
1885. He had two wives living and one
dead. BY Martha, his first wife, he had five
children by his second and dead wife he
had four children, and by his third wife he
had six. After the birth of these children
to the first wife the husband instituted suit
against her for divorce ON the ground of
adultery, and decree in accordance there
with was rendered by the court in 1s47. He
then married his second wife, but lived IL
Hcitly with his first wife. by whom he be-
came therfather of Margaret. who became
his third wife after the divorce had been
granted. His second wife died and his first
wife had the divorce proceedings set aside
and the case reopened for further hearing,
but nothing thereafter was ever done toward
prosecuting the suit to a terminus, and the
case was finally filed in the condition Of a
reinstatement of the first wifes marital
rights. Subsequently when the daughter
Margaret arrived at years of maturity she
was duly and legally married to her father
by and with the mothers consent. The
children of the first marriage now claim to
be heirs-at-law, which the children of the
other two marriages deny on the ground
that it can not be proved that their
father was at any time the lawful husband
OF Martha Haley. The children of the sec
ond marriage claim to be the only heirs of
the deceased, because the third marriage was
incestious, and therefore void. Both of the
issues Of the latter marriages are equally in
terested in proving the bastardy of the first.
otherwise the first would be held the only
heirs-at-law, and the two last Ofsprings OF
bigamous unions. The singular relation is
then developed of a daughter attempting to
prove herself of illegitimate birth, and
thereby recover property at the expense of
her reputation and that ct her mother, who
is also her mother-in-law.

LIvERPooI, Nov. 22.-Mr. Parnell, in

Government he said, were the authors of
the Coercion act, measure that rendered
life and liberty unsafe, and at the moment
of their downfall they we're contemplating
the renewal of the worst clauses of that act.
The Conservatives, on the other hand, had
partially restored liberty. Every Irishman
who voted with the Liberals would help to
relegate Ireland to chains, imprisonment
and death.
The Marquis of Salisbury has written an
important letter on the Irish question. In
it he says that Mr.. Gladstone is shillyshally-
ing, and adds: MAKE the support of the
