A Charity who Behaved Herself Most
Unsesmly and Got Six Months.
The frequenters of the City Court GAL
lery were out in numbers yesterday
morning, and the floor Of the court room,
from the door to the railing, was crowded
with spectators eight deep.

scene was expected and the attendance
passed unexplained.

called the owner, with no pleasant smile,

who sat awaiting a hearing. Pawn
broker Muhlberg told the court that the
defendant pawned a gold ring aud a gold
button with him. The articles were
exhibited and Mrs Alice Black identified
them as her property valued ct s.. She
missed them on the last anniversary of
Washington's birth. Charity Addison
was then in her employ.
The accused, unlike PauPs charity,
which Paul said did mot behave itself
unseemly, seeketa not her own" behaved
decidedly unseemiy and sought what was
not her own, according to the prepOnder-
ance OF evidence. Charity stated that she
pawned nothing but her trunk and blamed
some one else for taking the jeweiry.
"Nou are very unfortunate unless you
are guilty, Charity. Six months" said
his Honor.

No General Observance Of the AnRiver-
sary in Savannah This Year.
There will be no general observance OF
st. Pstrick's day in Savannah this year.
A convention of the various Irish socIe-
ties was called some time ago, and after
considering the matter it was decided
that no general parade should take place.
The various organizations will observe
the day in their own way. Rev. p. Il.
Mcmahon, pastor Of SITS. Peter and Paups
church, Atlanta, will deliver a panegyric
on the saint from whom the day takes its
name at st. Patrick's church. In the
evening the Hibernian society will give
its anniversary banquet at the Guards
arsenal.

THICK roc IN THE CITY.

A Dense Mist Envelopes Everything In
Darkness la the City and on the River.
Savannah had last night what London
er in London would call genuine Lon
don fog. 1t settled over the city early
after dark and staid the rest Of the night.
There was fog everywhere and so thick
that some one.who had probably heard the
expression before, said it could be cut up
in blocks and carted of in wagons.
The electric lights on the high towers
were lost in the dense mist and the street
lights looked, a few rods of, like q halo
The fog penetrated the houses and on the
streets everything was a thick gloom.
Pedestrians carried umbrellas and the
late-outs and police wore their rubber
coats to heep out the cold Vapor that
rested in thick masses like load upon
everything.
good deal has been said and written
about fogs. The meteorological bureau
and the signal service corps have made
them special study and divides them
into three classes according TO the man
ner in which they originate. Most OF the
togs in this locality, weather men say, be-

At midnight the fog was so thick on the
river that ships light in the rigging
could not be seen from the deck. There
was nothing stirring after the fog settled,
and until 1t lifts navigation will be sus-
pended.

HENRY B. COURTNEY DEAD.
Great Fortune Made Out or Diamond
Matches-A Closely Guarded Secret.
Fran ne Ra,n YorE Worgd


From tie Noao York World.
WILMINGTON, DEL, March 13.-Henry
b. Courtney, the head of the Diamond
Match Company, died at his home here
this morning after an illness OF about
three months. Mr.. Courtney was SO years
old, and came to this city from England
In 1888. He engaged in the match manu-
facture here with w. H. Swift, and with
capital Of less than $50 built up the most
extensive business in the line in the
United States. Mr.. Courtney possessed
the secret OF preparing the compound of
which the matches are made, and this he
refused TO give any one until recently,
when his physician told him he could
not recover. A son was then given
the formula under a sworn promise of
secrecy not to make it known until age
or affection rendered itimp0ssi BILE for him
to perform the work of compromising it.
in that event the formula Is to be given
to another son under similar conditions.
Courtney for many years was the only
man in this country who understood the
business. He claimed that It made two
English firms big fortunes while he was
In their employ, and it yielded him an in
diyiddal fortune OF nearly 100000 and
his two partners nearly as much. For a
long time the company enjoyed a CON-
plete monopoly of the 'ParlOr Match"
and the profits were enormous. Although
very wealthy, in order to keep the prePa-
ration a secret be continued his daily
work at the factory until the fumes from
the chemicals used had so poisoned his
system that he was no longer able to do
the work. The large estate will probably
create considerable litigation, as it is said
that there are heirs-at-law in England
who will contest with those in this cOun-
try in the distribution of the estate.

COUSINS AND THE CHURCH.
A Canadian Hsiress Claimed as Wife
by Two Husbands.

From tie Nsso York World.
MONTREAL, March 13.--Some months
ago Miss Elizabeth Globensky, a young
and beautiful heiress Of st. Eustache,
was married to her cousin, Mr.. Daniel
Wilson, of st. Jerome, the marriage being
secretly arranged in this city. The young
couple lived together as man and VIE
for some time. The girls parents BIT
terly opposed the match, and had guar
dian appointed by the court and an action
brought here to have her marriage de-
clared void on the ground that both par
ties were Catholics and the ceremony had
been performed by a Protestant Clergy
man; also that under the Catholic ritual
cousins Of thefirst degree cannot marry.
After hearing the case, which was bit
terly contested, Mr.. Justice Bourgeois on
Thursday last declared the marriage null
and void. This afternoon the young
lady, according to the wishes OF her par
ents, accompanied by Mr.. j. A. Sauve,
young merchant of st. Placide. proceeded
10 the church of st. James, on St. Denis
street, and being armed with dispensa-
ton Of his LOrdship, Bishop Fabre, they
asked to be made man and wife. The SER
vices Of the Rev. Father TrOle were Sc
cured and the ceremony was duly per-
formed, the young lady and her husband
returning TO st. Placide.
II appears that the first husband, Mr..
Wilson, got scent OF this marriage on
Thursday last, but, being increduious,
he did not deem it necessary to take any
proceedings. He has, however, since
consulted with his lawyer, aud has in
structed him to lose no time IN having the
judgment Of Mr.. Justice Bourgeois taken
TO appeal.
Mr.. Wilson, it is understood. would
have taken an injunction to prevent the
marriage had be been aware of 1t In time.
In fact, a protest has been drawn up to be
served on the parties, as he still claims
Miss Globensky as his wife.
