to which he had, of course, paid no atten-
ton, and then followed his public marriage
TO Mrs. Wing in July. In such a case the
character of the plaintiff was necessarily
an issue, and particularly where she
claimed that the defendant had wronged
her. No man was liable, morally or legally.
for not doing thing which was morally
impossible. When Miss Pollard met Colonel
breckenridge she was matured woman,
at least twenty-one years OF age. She had
denied the fact of a mock marriage with
Alex. Julian, had explained the nature of
her relations with Mr.. ROselle, but affida-
evidence, that before she met Colonel
Breckenridge she had been seen at queS-
tionable resort. The "WesSie" Brown letter
showed that she had been in some sort of
relations with Roselle and others.
AT this point in the statement objection
was offered by Mr. Wilson, and sustained
by the court. that the statement was drift
ing into an argument.
Colonel Shelby, resuming, said that the
motive of the plaintiff in bringing the suit
must be considered; that, as stated by the
plaintiff, il had not been for money nor TO
vindicate her own character, which was
necessarily destroyed by the suit, but for
revenge and to destroy the power of the
defendant.
Again Mr.. Wilson renewed his objection
that the attorney was not only attempt
ing to state the law, instead of facts, but
was stating the law incorrectly.
Mere form did not constitute contract,
Mr.. Shelby continued, when the parties
both understood that the semblance of a
contract was created for some other pur-
pose. There was merely the semblance OF
a contract that Miss Pollard might be able
to terminate relations with the defendant
and with this the statement closed.
Mr.. Wilson attempted to reply to the
statement that it would be shown that Miss

was not permitted TO do so.

Steinitz and Lasker Resume Play in
Their Championship Contest.

NEW YORK, March 2L-The third game
in the chess match for $4,000 and the cham
pionship of the world between w. Steinitz
and Emanuel Lasker commenced this after
noon. AS anticipated, Lasker, who had the
move again resorted to his favorite open
ing 0he Ruy Lopez. and Steinitz, despite
the reverse met in the first game OF this
match. still adhered to the defense whereof
he is the inventor. He, however, pursued
a different course from the one taken in
the first game in his eighth move. BY his
next move Lasker again brought about the
identical position which occurred in the
first game, but on the eleventh move Stein
itz again changed his tactics The veteran
move lost a piece. He made an uphill fight
thereafter, both players surprising each
other. On the forty-fifth move the game
was adjourned, Lasker realizing his move.
The game will be concluded Tomorrow.

JERSEYS TANGLE UNRAVELED.
Decision of the Supreme Court i'm Favor
of the Republican Senate.

TRENTON, March H.-Chief Justice
Beasley, of the New Jersey Supreme Court
to-day rendered a decision in the contested
State senatorship case of Rogers against
Adrian. The decision is a complete victory
for the Republicans Justice Beasley finds
that the Republican Senate, as organized by
President Rogers, is lawful body and that
Rogers is the President of the Senate. Some
time ago the Democrats declared that they
would abide by the decision of the Chief
Justice and would not carry the controversy
any further AS soon as he learned of the
decision of the Supreme Court, Governor
Werts, who is a Democrat sent for the Re-
publican Treasurer-elect and Controller
elect and issued commissions to them to date
from April 2.
The opinion of the Supreme Court de-
livered by Chief Justice Beasley, closes as
follows: In fine, after a very careful
study of the Constitution of the State, my
conclusion is that its limitations all
to this effect: That the claim advanced
for the first time, on this occasion, that
the Senate is permanent continuous body
is without any valid foundation. Nor has
this been found any more substantial basis
for the doctrine just discarded in the past
practice of the Senate in respect to it's
yearly organization.
