a Novel Court for the Granting OF
such DEGREES.
Henry Patrick was arrested the othor day
on a warrant sworn out by his wife charg-
ing him with bigamy In that he left her
bed and board and married young girl
named Mamie Mack. He was forthwith
arrested by Dessotive Wetherhorn and
Emma Patrick, his first wife, appeared
against him.
When confronted by the two women he
stuck to Mamie, saying that Emma was not
his wife. as she had been married before he
married her, TO man named Myers, who
was still living. This Emma admitted, and
then proceeded to tell how she and Myer
had broken the bonds between them and
were no longer man and wife.
They had evidently decided to separate
by arbitration, aud each appointed four
counsellors to take the case in hand and de-
eide what should be the terms Of the sepnra-
ton. Emma wanted a divorce, but the
committee stood four aud four, and the
consequence was no agreement was reached.
| On q happy impulse the ninth man was
called in aud the agreement was soon
reached and both were granted by this
novel tribunal total divorce. Both de-
parted happily, believing they had per-
feet right TO 90 aud marry again whoever
| they go desired. This Is the way Emm9
got her divorce, after which she married
| Henry. She firmly believes that tho nine
men bad the right to grant it, and now she
| has against her a warrant for the same
charge on which she had her husband ar
| res ed.
The superior court will no doubt grow
| jealous over the assumption of its authority,
and the consequent loss of business, by the
settling of such affairs through committee
OF arbitration appointed by the contending
parties

"ohs' and ''ahs" emanated from that sec
ton Of the grand stand set apart for them.

the delay Is as follows: THE cylinder
head of the engine pulling
the northbound train was blown
out this side Of Vaudeville, and they
took our engine and went on TO Charleston
and left us out in the woodss We were
only twenty-four miles from here aud had
TO wait for an engine 70 come out and pull
us in"
Manager Schmelz says he has as fine
team as there is in the league, but that the
boys played in hard luck in Charleston. He
hopes, however. to put up a big fight
against Savannah to-day.
The teams for the game will appear as
follows;
