Arrested for aslgAmy.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. L-Charlei
GrAyatt, of this city, was committed tt
the Camden County Jail by Justice Gas
sadly yesterday, without bail, on Q charge
Of biRamy. The charge was preferred by
Mrs. Lillian GravRtt, his first wife, who
asserts that the defendant on the 4th Of
October, married Mics Carrie NJ. Kale, q
young woman from Burlington County,
the ceremony being per- 'ormed IN Cam
den by the Rev. ]. j. Sleeper. The facts
OF the case were discovered by the wife
after she had begun proceedings for di-
vorce before Judges Mitchell and Breezy,
In this city. It is claimed that IL was
through the interest taken by these judges
that the attention of the Prosecutor of
the Pleas, Wilson H. Jenkins, OF Cam
den County, was called to the case.
The latter t3ok prompt measures to
cause Gravatt's arrest, when he found
that the defend dant had hastily left with
wife No. for New York. A complaint
warrant Of arrest and requlsiton were
forwarded 10 Gov. Hill, but owing 10
a technieahty the Tequisition was not
served upon Gravatt, who was discovered
10 be living at Green Point, L. I.
A few days ago he was located at At
lantic City, and on Monday night Mrs
Gravats visited the seashore and in
formed Constable Schelmer, who held
the warrant, that he was the person
wanted The co. stable arrested him and
took him to Camden, where he was com.
mitted without bail. His second wife
was living with him when captured.

The new Norton lite-yaoht, CON

turned over so Rs 10 rest on her side on
planks, under which were rollers on
other plAnks. In this position &c was
pulled TO the edge OF the incline plane
by means Of block and fall attached
to her stern, while another line from
the bow WAS used to lower the hall
gradually into the water. The boat
WAS ohristened the Lila B., and iB 40

OF bod. The msinmAet will be ~ fBet
high, With 20 foot topmAst, and Ahe
will be sl0op TiRged. This yacht is In
tended Rs test of tho Norton System
Of water ballast, which the inventor
claims renders boat more buoyhnt
and safer than those bAllAtted with pig
iron or lead. The ballast in the Lila
B. 10 carried IN sixteen air and water
tight compartments, there being eight
on each alde of the keel. The QuGntity
OF water In each depends upon Ghe
draft OF the boat, As IL is admitted
through openings arranged along each
eide Of the keel.
The compression OF the air in the ND
per part OF the ballast chamber is shld
to add TO the buoyanoy Of the boat, and
to make 1t impossible to sink her. A
boat Of this pattern has been built for
the q. 8. Navy for use as o lifeboAt, ind
has stood very severe tests.
Captain Norton is having Q yacht OF
this kind built for his own use, which

Now that the validity of the law is set
tied, the elections ordered In Cape May,
Cumberland and Atlantic counties will
bs held. It was upon the order made in
Cape May county that the question was
taken 10 the Supreme Court, and then by
agreement t. the Court of Errors and
Appeals. The liquor men have been con-
iident all along that the law would be
pronounced unconstitutional upon the
points raised by ex Governor Albeit in

Of opinion in almost every quarter. The
decision will have a depressing effect

retterating that her name was Lizzie
Gilbert and sticking to her original story.

though August and September In thil
