and wife for four years. He then deserted her
and married another woman, who died In =
few years; He then. she said, went to New
Jersey and married another. woman under the
name OF Melville, who Is said to be living and
known as Mrs. Melville. He came to Whining
ton and married again. his wife dying In = few
years. He aftsrwRrd married another woman,
that in March last she saw McKelvey here and
asked him to do something for hcr support, but
he refused.
This week McKelvey was tried before the
Superior Court upon the charge Of desertion,
under a law. passed last winter. which gave
wives the right to bring such suits. McKelvey
Is about 50 years Of age. The case was fought
hard. but the defendant was declared to DO the
woman's husband. and was ordered to pay to
her 81 per month during her natural He. The
Courts decision makes McKelvey . bigamist.
and. Mrs. spencer is expected to bring suit

went to the wheel room aud rang for the engi.
neer to send the tug ahead. The boat was point.
ed up the stream against the tide. and the boy
steered her out from the dock. The Marshall
coming In. and. whether because she was
running too fast or because tho deck hand
didn't know how to steer. the two vessels
bumped together, and enough OF the midship

As she got out In the stream her helm swung
her around and sent her sheering down the
on the water to make II look dangerous for the
tug to be cayorting around as II she had q
drunkard at her wheel. and the people who
know that. no ono was on her felt sure there
would DO trouble.
The Ell Mora curved down the river and got
on tho track OF the Annie L. Taylor. q British
brig. that was being towed down by the Atlas.
Before the Taylor could be stored one side the

There were tugs In pursuit Of the FL Morn by
this time. but her area Of running around loose
was getting, limited. and the. tugmen didn't
have much chance to do any lassooinG. The
tugs helm sent her from the Carrie Heckie
with q curve inshors again to a squad OF. canal
boats between Piers Z and 8. and there the I'M
controlled ram battered her nose against the
canal boats. She couldn't get clear OF them.
and In q. mighty short time there were men on
her and her engines were stopped. From the
time Of the flrst collision until tho moment the
tug began forcing her nose into the canal
boats the river men think was loss than twenty
minutes. and in that period there was lots Of
CONSERVATION among the boatmsn whose craft
were around, whether afoat or anchored.
They csnsured the deck hand for trying to
steer the tug. and both hin and the engineer
for leaving her.
