NEW YORK. .Feb.1.-Judge Osborne. OF the
City Court, brooklyn, decided yesterday not
to grant Mrs. Maria Cora Mcguire limited
divorce from the Rev. Hugh Mcguire, the
rector of the Episcopalian Church of Our
Savior, at Clinton and Luqueer streets.
Mrs Mcguire sued for divorce on the
ground of cruel and inhuman treatment.
and the husband set up as an answer a gen.
eral denial of her charges. and the ad dditional
allegation that she had eloped from him In
Baltimore with man named Douglass.
On the trial. Mrs. Mcguire admitted that
she ran away with Douglass, but it was only
to escape from her husband, who had threat
ened to place her in lunatic asylum. The
testimony developed the fact that she had
been an inmate of an asylum on three differ
ent occasions. Judge Osborne had this to
say in rendering his decision:
/ am of the opinion that plaintiff has failed
to make out her case. She alone testifes to
the alleged acts of cruelty, and there is not a
scintilla of evidence to corroborate her. De-
fendant denies all of the alleged acts of cruelty,
and he adduces evidence to show that Tor a
portion at least of their married life his treat
ment of his wife had been kind and consider
crate, while her treatment of HIM was the re-
verse.
1t further appears that in 1883 plaintiff eloped
with one Douglass. Her subsequent letters to
the defendant, imploring his forgiveness and
pressions of his kind treatment of her, and are
utterly inconsistent with her evidence of his al
legged acts of cruelty prior to her elopement
The complaint must be dismissed.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. la gang of
counterfeiters have been plying their game
in this city for the past six weeks, and have
succeeded in fastening upon business men
big pile of bogus S. notes. The gang
came from New York, where they found
the atmosphere too hot for them, and in
vaded Gloucester with its inviting track and
pool rooms. About 20 men composed the
crowd. They are under the leadership OF
the most notorious bunco steerer and con-
tldence man in the country man who
boasts, among his other achievements, OF

flashing of bright-hued notes among num-
Der of well-dressed men who invariably
made their bow to the bar at or 10 o'clock
in the evening and retired TO the brass bar
railing TO compare notes. For more than a
month past a special officer has kept his
eyes on the gang. The combination became
aware that they were watched and showed
no more OF the queer at Green's.
Yesterday afternoon man giving his
name as Walter Drinkhouse was arrested
for attempting to pass green goods at two
lunch rooms. No doubt is entertained that
the bogus money came from the New York
gang. The SIS note, which has been freely
circulated, Is gross imitation OF the series
