Judge Greene on behalf of William G..
Nicbol son, commanding Mrs. Emily &.
Woolley, widow, and +. A. Wilder, propri-
etor of the Windsor House, and his wife, to
appear and show cause why Louisa r.
Nicholson is by them restrained OF her
liberty. Miss Woolley, who is an heiress
in her own right and is the heir OF
her mother who is also possessed
of considerable property, met Nicbol-
son some months ago on the Panama
S teamer from New York for San Francisco.
and again in the latter city, and on April
21st last, against her mothers wishes, she
went with him to San Rafael and was mar
ried. Her mother came to Oakland and
has since lived here. About two weeks
ago young Mrs. Nicholson firing, as she
says, of Nicholson's protiigacy and intem-
perance, left him and went to her mother
at the Windsor. She told him plainly week
ago that she had left him and proposed
never to live with him again, and further
more, that she had instituted proceedings
against him for divorce on the ground of in
temperance and failure to provide. 1t is
said that Nicholson claims to be Baltl-
more bankers son, but it is averred that
the banks that he is best acquainted with
have neither doors nor locks. Tue young
woman seems to be thoroughly sorry of her
previous infatuation. When Deputy Sheriff
Jameson served the writ ON Mrs. WoolIey
he expected TO be shown child. The
mother, pointing to Mrs. Nicholson, said :
There she is. She is at liberty to 60 at
any time. l am not OBTAINING her," Mrs.
Nicholson said: Il don't want to go to
Nicholson or with him. aud do not intend
to-" They told the Sheriff they would be in
court this morning in answer TO the writ.
WITHDREW HIS RESIGNATION.
Rev. DR.. II. D. Lathrop rendered his
resignation last week to the vestry of the
Church of the Advent, East Oakland, and
the fact was announced to the congregation
on Sunday. Yesterday the influential par
ishioners of the rector urged him to with
draw his resignation, and he finally did so.

of ST. Pauls parish that DR.. Lathrop would
be called by the vestry of that church TO
take the place made vacant by the resigna-
tion and removal of Rev. Hobart Chetwood.

to accept the rectorship of San Francisco
church. The exact reasons for the rector's
action are not definitely known, but 1t is
rumored that the salary mad not been
promptly met, as it should have been. DIR.
Lathrop is much liked in Oakland for his
broad-minded Christianity, his active inter-
est in charitable undertakings and his COR
dial friendship for members OF other de-
nominations.
