HEARTS THAT BEAT ALONE.
Judge James sunders a Pair of Ill
Assorted Couples. -I


Justice James opened the divorce market
sufficiently long yesterday to give relief to two
mis-mnted pairs aud grant them absolution
from the matrimonial yoke. 1t was on March
8, 1873, that Emma Il. Van Hook was married
by Rev. DR.. Addison, of Trinity Church, to An.
thuny p. Morris. They went to Baltimore 10
reside. There they remained until November,
1873, when thetrouble which had crept into
the domestic circle eliminated In separation.
II was, In part. a repetition Of the old, old
story. The husband had become addicted to
strong drink, and the appetite fastening itself
upon him, led to his becoming an habitual
drunkard, negleoting his wife and child, and
rendering him incapable of providing them
witt any support. While tho wife was very
unhappy, she, endured the life until atime
came when she. needed care and attention.
Fearing danger from him, she left her home in
Baltimore and came to her parents In this city,
where her second child was born. Since that
husband, and then 1t was to make a demand
for the child. Believing that worthless hus.
band was worse than none, she made applica-
also custody of the children, and the husband
ordered to pay the costs OF the suit.
The second applicant was Mrs. Adelia Gilt,
whose case shows some of the pecuiarlties of
married life. 1t was, on tho 9th of May, 1872,
that Rev. G. c. Meador, of the Filth Baptist
Church, married George s. Gilt and Adelia
Burdine, and II was about three years that
they lived together. According to her state
ment Mr.. Gilt never did contribute much to
the support OF herself and child up 10 tho time
they separated, and nothing since that time.
Mrs. Gift made a visit TO her parents at civ.
mont, Md. Her husband objected to her going,
but thinking the life of the child at stake, she
decided to go, leaving note to her husband.
II was returned with the astonishing answer
that "he did not wish to read any notes from
me- 'Sho then wrote an explanatory hotter,
which was Returned unopened, accompanled
as my wife, and will send your trunk at the
earliest opportunity" From that time her hus-
band contributed nothing to her support or TO
their child ,whoh had met with an accident, and
in September last she Instituted proceedings
for divorce, which has been granted. She
