The Singular Tale Told on the wit.
| ness stand by a Well known Society
| Lady of London.
| LONDON, Nov 12.-The case of Mrs. Sc
bright, well known society beauty, against
her husband, Mr.. Arthur Sebright, for di-
| vorce on the ground that force and intimida-
| ton were used in obtaining her consent to
her marriage. was opened to-day. The petit
toners counsel admitted the marriage in the
registrars last January, but claimed that the
contracting parties had never lived together.
A money transaction had caused the mar
riage and not affection. The judge thought
it would be impossible to nullify the mar
rage for the reasons stated, but said he would
hear the evidence in the case. Mrs. Sebright
WIS called to the witness box and deposed
substantially as follows: She had inherited
large sum of money from her father when
quite young. Mr.. Sebright had been
welcome visitor to her fathers
house, but was not received as
sutton for his daughters hand
Sebright finally proposed marriage to the
petitioner and was referred to her mother,
who refused her consent. Finally the petit
toner without the knowledge of her mother
engaged herself to Sebright and he persuad-
ed her to sign over papers admitting the en- |
gagement, which she afterwards found were |
not as represented to be, but were bills |
amounting to $685.. These she refused to |
and action was taken to recover |
the amount. When the writs were served Sc
bright told her the only way by which she |
could save herself from financial |
ruin was through marriage with him. In
censed at the villainy of the man, who pre-
tended to love her, she refused to marry him
Sebright persisted and later under promises
to have the writs cancelled he took her to a
place unknown to her where the cancellation
was to be made. Arriving there she found
herself in the registrars Office and attempted
to leave, but was prevented by Sebright's
threats to shoot her if she showed the slight
EST unwillingness to marry him then and
here. A ring was forced upon her finger,
out she drew it off and threw it on the floor
She was then compelled to sign the register,
1oing it unconsciously. She heard no legal
orm read; was too mach frightened to real
re all that occurred, but was certain that
nothing was read. After leaving the regis
rar's Office the petitioner was taken home.
Her marriage was never consummated.
The registrar deposed that the petitioner
vas somewhat agitated on the occasion of
Ter marriage to Sebright, but repeated the
declaration and went through the form of
marriage without hesitation. He corrobor-
ted Mrs. Sebrieht's statement that she
brew the ring upon the floor, but testified
hat she afterward signed the register with
ut demur. The petitioners mother and the
physicians testiti ed to the mental collapse of
he petitioner after the ceremony The |
earring was adjourned.

Still Lying Around Loose For some
Ambitious Monarch.
Boston, Nov 12.-Perry cables to the Her
aid as follows:
Advices from Cannes regarding Prince
Waldemar's attitude bear out my informa-
ton of Wednesday. The Prince would like
a crown, but the one which the Bulgarian
delegates are bringing him looks so shaky
that he will be slow in putting it on. He
will certainly decline unless assured of the
Cars good will. 1t is reported that his
wifes relatives. the Orleans princes, have adj
vised him to decline the honor as there is
too much treachery at Sofia for a safe reign.
averse. Copenhagen argues that even if the
Gear should assent to the election
his favor would be short lived
as the designs of Russia must
inevitably clash with the aspira-
tions of Bulgaria. The Danes are
relations with st. Petersburg, Russia being
the only power to which they could look for
material support in the event of German
aggression. It is far cry to Sofia, but q
very near one to Berlin and poor Denmark
has had her skirts cut short that she
shrinks from doing anything which might
ALLEVIATE possible protection.
Prince Nicholas of Mangrelia, whose name
has suddenly come in connection with the
vacant throne, is not regarded here as an &C.
ceptable candidate. He is of Georgian de-
scent and is about as little fitted as General
Kaulbars for the duties of a constitutional
ruler Like Kaulbars he is personally good
fellow, but he has been trained to look upon
the Gar as master whose will is not to be
disputed and he can never grow out of this
training. He is the son of Prince David
Dadian, who some twenty years back
coded the shadowy sovereignty OF
the .Dadians over Mangrelia to
the late Gear. The little principality,
which lies between Mt. Caucasus and the
Black Sea. an area half the size of Connect
cut, had been conquered by the Russians
long before and the sovereign rights of
Prince David were rather Evolutionary than
actual, but the Gear paid one million roubles
to extinguish them. Prince Nicholas still
maintains his castle at Lugdidi, but he has a
residence at St. Petersburg and is we'll known
in high society at Paris, Vienna and Berlin.
His sister, the Princess Salome Dadian, mar
ried Prince Achille Murat. Prince Nicholas
is in his fortieth year and his years have been
very full ones. If by any chance he should
attain to the Bulgarian throne the Konak at
Sofia will be good deal gayer than it was in

VINO would believe that these doves

PRINCESS ANNE, ND, Oct 24.-John
Harrison, who resides at DEALS Island, in
this county, aoout 20 years of age, is pos
sessed of wonderful mental powers. he
is dredger. and says he only attended
school about two months altogether in his
lite. This great power consists in his
ability to spell backward any word, no
matter how long or intricate, that ne can
spell forward or that is spelled forward
in his presence, and that, too, with the
greatest celebrity. The American corre-
spondent, hearing of this wonderful
power, met him on Deals Island and re-
guested him to give an exhibition Of his
strange talent, which he readily consented
10 do. Such words as 'incompati-
bility," "incongruous," ''irreprehensi-
bly," Cincinnati" "Phlladelphis,"
and many other long words,
were spelled in his presence, which he
Immediately spelled backward with light
ming rapidity and without the least hest
tation. He never fails, but always spells
the words correctly backward as they are
spelled TO him forward, ana if be ever
spells the word incorrectly, no matter
bow long it be, it is always the fault of
the questioner. Any word that he is
familiar with and can spell forward he
can also spell backward; aud words that
ne is not familiar with, and cannot spell
forward, he can spell backward when
they are spelled in his presence. He does
not spell the words backward by the
sound, because in many instances the
letters make no sound. He says he does
not even carry the word in his mind as il
