MRS. ELDRIDGE A WINNER
CHANCELLOR lE,GILL DECIDES IN
HER FAVOR.

Lawyer Peck and Mr.. EIdridge Testify
The Latter Read His Wife a Letter
from IAN Estimable Young Lady
Which Raised a Row.
After continuing court, without a break
for lunch or anything else, until six
O'Clock last evening, Chancellor McGill
decided the famous divorce case of FL
bridge VS.. Eldridge, which is looked upon
il South Jersey in much the same light
that the Flack case is in this part of the
country. He decreed that Mrs. Eldridge
should be permitted to discontinue the
suit against her husband.
Mrs. Eldridge, a good looking m
with regular features and a Snappy black
eye, which gave ample evidence of the
possession of a decided will, testified to
the story already substantially told in
these columns. Mr.. Peck, the lawyer
who refused to discontinue the suit at
her request related the manner in which
he became interested in the case. A few
days after the testimony had been taken
and mailed to Trenton, he testified, she
told him that she wanted him to stop the
proceedings at once, as she did not want
a divorce He did not now exactly what
her rights were at that stage of the case,
and told her to come in again. When she
did so he said he would discontinue If she
paid him $50 costs, otherwise he would
let it go to a final decree, and get the
costs from her husband. The $50 which
he had obtained from Mr.. Eldridge, he
told her, he could feel in duty bound to
give back if he did not obtain the divorce.
The $50 he had obtained from Eldridge
upon the understanding that he would
not apply for an order for alimony and
counSel fee.
Peck explained to tire Chancellor that
as Eldridge paid him the $50 on the I'M
derstanding that his wife was to get a
divorce he, Peck, thought that he was in
duty bound to return the money if the
proceedings were discontinued.
The questioning of the Chancellor
brought out a mild protest from Judge
Wescott, when the Chancellor somewhat
abruptly said
'sThe honor of the bar is at stake, sir''
Peck admitted that if it was collvsion
to conduct a divorce case when both par
ties are willing, he supposed he was
guilty of collision.
The defendent Eldridge then took the
stand. He is a nervous ordinary sized
man with ahighly f1orid complexion, and
a fierce blonde m~ousJaehe. He said that
his wife had made his life so miserable
that he did not care what became of him.
One night when she made him more mis-
cradle than ever, he told her of mis- inf
deity, and read her extracts from q letter
written to him ''by an estimable young
lady"i in order to show her that there was
a woman who cared for him.
His wife then said that she would be q
a wife to him no longer, n he told her
that then he would live with her no
longer. She said she wonld get a divorce,
enough, and she would better go and see a
lawVnr.

CONTRASTING A WILL.
A Will of Supreme Court Clerk Lee
the Chief Figure--State News.

Miss Leila Wescott, daughter of the late
: DIR. Thomas D. Wescott, of Camden, has
filed a formal protest against the probate
of the will of her father. The ground OF
the protest is undue influence and mental
~incapacity.
DR.. Wescott, by his will, left one-half Of
his estate, which is valued at $4,000, to
HIS niece, Miss Hannah W. Sheppard, and
the other half to Miss Leila WescotS, his
daughter. Miss Sheppard's half is given
her absolutely, but that of Miss Leila, the
daughter. is left in trust until she be-
comes twenty-one, until which time she
only receives the interest OF her fortune;
In case she dies before her maJorlry-and
she is now only sixteen-her snare goes
to Mrs. Harriet Sheppard, the mother OF
Miss Hannah Sheppard. Mrs. sheppard
is a sister of deceased's father.
The reason for the peculiar condlulons
of the will is said to be found in the tact
that DR.. Wescott did not wish ms d
vorced wife, who lives in Philadelphia, to
participate in his estate. Miss LEILA
lives with her mother, who is OF an ex-
cellent family. Her maiden name was
Lee. She is q niece OF supreme Court
Clerk Benjamin F. Lee. Both Mrs. Yves
colt and her husband received divorces,
one coming from the New Jersey courts
for desertion and the other having been
granted from a Western court for the
same cause.
LIE Coney's Coming Trial.
Counsel for Chalkley LIE Coney, who is
locked up in the Camden prison on the
charge of numbering his niece, Annie LIE
Coney, was closeted yesterday for a long
time with County Clerk Burrough, pre-
pairing the outlines for the defense. 1t was
learned tina the defendants couns Will
attempt to prove that the crime was either
committed by Francis Lingo, who was
exonerated by the grand jury, or by one
of the colored hangers-on at the Mer-
chantville Jockey Club.
A letter sent by the dead girl TO her
relatives in Ohio will be offered to show
the deceased was in fear of the colored
man who exercised the horses of the
Jockey Club. AT the time of the murder
q colored camp meeting was being held
in the grove adjoining the park, at which
place both Lingo and Murray, the latter
the principal witness for the State, at
tended. There is a possibility that the
defence will attempt to show that the
charge made against lie Coney was the
result of a conspiracy, in which Murray
will figure as one of the principals.
lie Coney spends his time in prison
reading, and to his jailors expresses the
utmost confidence that he will be ac-
Quilted. He is visited constantly by his
dered girls father.
The trial promises to surpass in sur
prises the famous Hunter case.

A Missing bridegroom Returns.

A Missing Bridegroom Returns.
Quite a ruffle was created in Orange q
few days ago by the return there of Hugh
Charles O'Reilly, who has been absent for
the last three months. At the time of his
departure from that city he was en-
ployed as reporter. On June 26 Mr..
O'Reilly was to have been weddedt to Miss
Jennie Grimes, with whom he had been
in love for many years. On that day
every body expected to see the happy
courtship eliminate in their wedding,
and all their friends were put agog when
the day previous to the wedding day they
were informed that the wedding would
not take place, and the neXt morning
the bridegroom had disappeared. Rumor
then began to be active and the
entire story of the unpleasant affair was
renovated in the news columns of all the
local and suburban newspapers. The en-
tire blame was laid on the ruthless
young mans shoulders, for, it is said, he
had given Miss Grimes to understand
that he was drawing a big salary, and
that when they were married, after going
on m extended wedding trip, they would
return and then begin to build a house
of their own with all the modern i'm
p~rovements. Miss Grimes, however, by
her uncommonly good sense-although,
no doubt, she held a high opinion of
O'Reilly-when she found his deceit,
Immediately banished all thought of him
from her mind. She had her trousseau
in readiness. and withal, bore the great
trial with remarkable virtue and all
thought of the unfortunate affair would
have been totally banished from the
minds of the people of Orange had it not
been for the temperance of the fugitive
O'ReiIly. Immediately the old story was
revived, and, of course, questions were
asked as to the causes OF his return.
Odd Fellows Meet in Trenton.
The annual session of the Grand En-
campment of Odd Fellows of New Jersey
is being held in Trenton today. Beside
routine business a representative to the
National Encampment will be selected,
and j. Barron Smith, the present dele
gate, will probably succeed himself. On
Wednesday morning at eleven O'Clock the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows will meet in
annual session. The day will be made a
red-letter one by a parade of the Patri-
archs Militant of the State, together with
cantons from New York and Pennsyl-
Sire, Grand Secretary and Grand Treas
urer of the Sovereign Grand Lodge will
be present, In the evening a reception
will be given. On Thursday the grand
officers will be elected.
A Minister Dies on a Train.
Rev. Frank Z. Rodgers, D. D., of
Orange, N j., who had been in Colorado
for his health and was returning home,
died i'll his berth on the Atlantic express
just before reaching Altoona yesterday
morning.
Rev. Mr.. Rodgers was a Methodist min
lister and lived on Main near Centre
street, and had charge of a mission at PSI

the MARGINAL WAY.
The, Contract viii Expire Tomorrow,
September First.
And Col. Moore Has Not Constructed
the Street.

On the third of October 1887 a contract
was entered into between the city OF Port
land of the one part, and Col. EDWARD
Moore of the second part. by which Col.
Moore agreed to construct marginal street
from Deering bridge to the foot of Wilmot
street which should be one hundred feet
wide, and protected on the channel side by
double bulk-head, with proper fill between
the bulk-heads. On the city side no bulk
head: was required, but 1t was stated the
street should be so firmly filed in that the
grade of the street when established, should
make the width of the avenue the stated
one hundred feet. 1t was also required by
the contract that the street should be COM
pleted in 1888, and, on the part Of the city
tie contract price was fixed at $4,000.
Work was commenced by the contractor
and proceeded with, but the colonel found
it impossible to complete the job in the time
specified, in fact it was nowhere near fin
ished at the end of 1888, and the city govern
ment extended the time to Sept. 1st 1889.
The sum of $4,000 was paid for the work
done. The reason given by
the colonel for the delay was
that he had experienced difficulties with the
United States engineer in charge of the har
Dor improvements, Col. J. A. Smith, who
was, we think, when the contract was first
taken, Back Bay commissioner. There
was dispute as to whether the dirt dredged
by the dredge, engaged in the work, should
be dumped down the harbor or used as filing
for the new street. At any rate it is under
stood that the certificate of the city engineer
shows that the amount of work done on the
street as far as it has gone, is worth the
$4,000 that has been paid out by the city
government.
Thus far the transactions between the
contractor and city have been through the
governments of 1878 and 1889. No por-
tion of the remaining 900 has been paid
out. Tomorrow will be the first of Septem
Der and the street is by no means ready for
delivery on the part of the contractor. What
course he intends to pursue no one seems to
know There is no penalty that attaches to
non-fulilment of his contract except that
the present administration will not let the
remaining 900 out of its hands until the
completed street is turned over by the
contract or to the city. 1t is probable
the matter will come before the city govern
ment at its regular meeting next Monday
night
