A man who. called himself Patrick
Haggcrty and said that he had no home
walked ont on the New York Central
tracks just above the Morris Heights
station about o'clock this morning and
deliberately sat down in the centre of
the outbound local track.
He was seen there by Switchman Tay-
lor from the switch tower near by. Tay-
lor yelled to the tramp to get off the
track but the latter refused.
A local train was coming up. and in
order to avoid a possible disaster Taylor
switched 1t off to another track
Mounted Policeman Pierson, of the
High Bridge station, came up about
that time and arrested the tramp. The
local train was just switched back % its

track it had occupied
In the Morrisania Police Court Hag-
gerry denied that he sat on the track.
He was committed to the island. All

MARRIED THE SAME MAN TWICE.
A DESERVING Husband Reappears and
Causes Some LITIGATION

DESERVING Husband Reappears and
Causes Some Litigation
Louisa Voigt OF this city has been twice
married to the same man. Henry Torger-
sen, without ever having been divorced
from him The facts in the case are rath-
er peculiar. In 1879 she was married to
John P. Larsen, who deserted her ten
years later in 1889. She was Informed in
1891 by parties, whom she had every reason
to believe were reliable, that he was dead,
they having Stated that they had seen him
drowned in the Satilla river
With this evidence before her she went
into mourning for him, and wore the
mourning vestments for more than year
On Oct. 80. 1898, she married Henry Tor
gersen, and a little more than a month
thereafter she was told that Larsen was
still alive and had been seen in Savannah
She at once applied to the superior court
for a divorce setting forth all the facts
in connection with the case.
A second verdict for a total divorce from
Larsen was granted her at the recent term
of the superior court, and her original
name, Louisa Voigt, was restored to her.
1t was under this name that a license was
secured for her re-marriage to Torgersen.
Larsen, though he was advertised for at
the time the bill for divorce was filed,
never showed up in court.

COLTS BEAT THE REGULARS.
brooklyn Picked Teams Tackle Each
other Again.

Turn about is fair play. The Brook
Ign regulars won Thursdays game. and it
was only right. just and proper that the
Colts should have won yesterday. The
men must have looked at it that way. any
now Tor when the game was ended the
score stood Il to Il in favor OF the Colts.
The game was very loosely played. and
was dun and uninteresting. The attend
anee was little better than Thursdays.
Cummings, a weIl-knOwn local twirler,
who sails under the picturesque cognomen
Of Polo" occupied the box for the reg
ulars. and to his somewhat bad pitching
may be attributed the regulars defeat.
He proved easy game for the Colts. and
they batted him all over the field.
The game was regular smuggling match
on both sides. Two and three-baggers
We're common. Burns got home run over
the fence and brought in two men before
him.
Daub and Stein alternated in the box
and allowed the Colts to get seventeen
clean hits. The fielding of neither team
was brilliant. and errors were numer-
Gus. Frank Butler played center field for
the regulars, and played a pretty stim
game. Out Of five times at bat he made
TWO runs, four put-outs and no errors.
Butler is very good fielder, good bat
ter and a fine base-runner. He has been
signed to play in the field by Nashville
this season, and will leave for that city
in a few days.
Mr.. Thomas Murray umpired the game,
and. while he was a little slow in his de-
cisions, no kicks were made
