MUCH-MARRIED MAN.
Williams Had Three Wives Instead
Of Two.

Legal Points Raised as to What Con-
stitutes Marriage 49, The Jurors Feel
Tired . n, Case WIN Not BE Ended
Untn Next Week.
The Superior Court reconvened at 10
o'clock this morning.
Hon. Charles Lore asked that the
case Of Annie CarsWell VS. Thomas Green
should be continued until the May term
The case Is suit for damages. The
plaintiff fell down a cellar, she claims,
through Green's negligence in not closing
tine deor.
william S. Hllles, counsel for the
plaintiff opposed the application for a con-
tinuance He said that the case had
already been continued. The plaintiff
was liable to die from her Injuries, and
he demanded a speedy trial.
Judge Cullen-'I am always ready to
oblige counsel. but can aot grant the con
tinuance unless legal grounds are pro-
duced. am willing to remain here until
April l, II necessary"
The application was denied. Mr.. Lore
then asked for a special Jury. This
request was granted. and the panel was
made returnable on March IA
Ga application Of Lilburn Chandler. the
case Of Mason vs. Nicholas, TO set aside
sherif's sale, was continued until next
Saturday. The witnesses we're discharged
until that time
The damage case Of Annie Marie VIII
liams VS.. the Walton and Wbenn Com
psny was then resumed.
Mr.. Vandegiift, for the plaintiff
said that he would avoid lo1g argument
by waiving the position be took yesterday
afternoon.
he then called Joseph Arthur, an aged
white man. he said that Baltimore was
his home. de knew Rev. Daniel Reese
during his lifetime. Reese was the
preacher who claimed to have married
Williams and a woman before the mar
rage With Jane Tate in 1854.
Mr. Nields contsnded that conference
and church records must be
brought TO show that Reese
was a regularly ordained minister
he claimed that until that was
done Jane Tate stood before the Jury a.
Williams's true wife. The laying on Of
the bishops hands In ordination was
necessary.
The court. informed Mr.. Nields that
marriage was Of two kinds-astual mar
rage by fact, and presumed marriage by
reputation and cohabitation.
The question was argued at some
length by Mr.. Vandegnft. who contended
that the fact. that a minister held diff
ferent charges was proof sufficient that he
was regularly ordained. BE cited the
decision In the celebrated Myra Clark
Gaines case in New Orleans and other
cases TO show that the evidence Of per
son who saw the marriage ceremony per-
formed was proof sufficient
This argument consumed the time Of
the court until adjournment for the noon

over fifty rkmen is now engaged on
the double channel wooden draw bridge
over the Christiana, at the junction Of
the Delaware railroad and the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore rail-
road which is being replaced by new
iron bridge The new structure will be
an iron girder pivot bridge with draw
swinging toward the north Of the Chris
tians. The draw will be fifty feet
long with a channel pa sage between the
northern and southern piers.
The piling for the bridge have all been
driven and are ready for the placing Of
the cAisIons In which the masonry will
be built. The Delaware Construction
Company did this work The swinging
draw will be operated from the northern
shore Of the creek This will be the only
bridge Of its kind on the Delaware rail
road
It Is said that the entire bridge will be
built anew without the suspension or In
corruption of traffic there, aud that the
splendid iron structure will be
completed before the fruit season opens.
The successful fruit season Of last year
is what brought on this and many other
gr eat improvements 70 the Delaware
railroad aud another such season

wrecks as the Buck bridge accident
caused. would doubtless give Delaware 9

The new switches and tracks At this
city are great improvements, also, and
especially is this noticed at the Battery
station, where passengers can now enter
the cars while the locomotive is being
turned, instead Of having TO stand on tbs
unsheltered platform there.
The workmen who are building the
new bridge are, many OF them, qusrtered
there in train Of old passenger cars. and
they work from dawn until twilight and
turn in when they get good and ready
until Saturday evening. when the train
is taken down he state and the men 20
to their homes.
The new bridge will be built for a dou
BILE track except ct the draw where the
two tracks will run into one TO make thu
draw lighter as on the bridge over thu
Susquehanna at Perryville. One new
abutment has been built for the new
