Old Fashioned Methods are Dropped In
New Zealand.
In New Zealand the old fashion
ed methods in use in most other
whale fisheries have been abandon
ed in favor of nets, according to
PearSon's Weekly, which are now
used for the capture of these levi.
athans Of the sea. The nets are
made of two inch manila rope, and
are so constructed that galvanized
iron rings take the place Of the
knots in the ordinary nets. The
mesh is a six-foot one, and the
ropes forming It are spliced into the
rings. The nets are made in six
sections, each ten fathoms square,
with two ten-gallon barrels as floats
to each section.
When setting the net the sections
are joined together with line just
strong enough to bear the ordinary
strain in which they are liable to
be subjected, so that when a whale
gets meshed he tears away the sec
ton in which he is fast. While he
is trying to get rid of the net the
whaleboats, which are always wait
ing, dart alongside and he is har-
pooned.

respect first -class machines. The plain
tiff rented a store and made necessary

chimes came to hand. Then came the
rub. Mellus found, according to. his ac-
count. that he could not sell the ma
chimes for $40, as he anticipated; that
they were not first-class machines. and
were not worth more than $40 apiece.
He telegraphed the firm that he would
not take delivery, as the terms of con-
tract had not been observed, and COM
menced suit to recover the amount OF
store rent, ETC., expended as prellm-
mary to opening up in businessA

THE DIVORCE MILL.
The Sensational Billmeyer Case Being
Heard Behind Closed Doors.

The sensational suit of Matte Bill
meyer against Ernest F. Billmeyer is
we'll under way in department two, be-
fore Judge Clark, and the magic words,
"closed DOORS" inscribed on the court
room door, warns the general public
that the delightfully."- naughty details
of the case are not for them.
Both parties to the suit are quite
young folks, but the evidence, even as
far as the case has gone, would indicate
that their marital experiences have
been quite varied and exciting. Mrs.
Billmeyer sought divorce on the grounds
of cruelty and failure to provide, and
although she has had number OF wit
nesses upon the stand to support her
contentious, and has almost closed her
case, she has not made as strong
showing as was anticipated.
The cruelty consisted on the most
part, of the husband applying a very
unsavory term to his wife with denomi-
mating adjectives before it which much
enhanced it's strength as an opprobrious
epithet, and which reflected seriously
upon the chastity of his wife. Under
ordinary circumstances of innocence
the application of such language would
amount to technical cruelty which. in
causing severe anguish of body and
mind" the law takes cognizance of.
But Mr.. Billmeyer objected to being
made to figure before the court and his
friends as brute and filed cross-com-
plant in which he alleged adultery.
In all probability the defendant will
open his case today and the testimony
in such case will be very racy. Whether
these allegations can be sustained or
not remains to be seen, but they do not
hinge on just one alleged lapse from the
narrow path, on the part of Mrs. Bill
meyer, but Of many such lapses, and
during quite prolonged period of time.
The suit of Nora A Anderson against
James w. Anderson, was up before
Judge York yesterday and was con-
tinued until today for the purpose of

FOOTBALL
An Exciting Game Between the Marl
boroughs and St. Vincents

A large crowd witnessed the football
game at Agricultural park yesterday af
ternoon.
The game was called at 2:30 o'clock
The teams were in splendid condition,
and the outlook was favorable for good
game.
The boys played we'll, and up to the
end of the first half neither had scored
a point, although several star plays had
been made. Joseph Amestoy made a
good fullback and played a savage game.
Time was called, and again they both
tried hard to become the victor.
Again and again star plays were made
and still no score, and when time was
finally called neither side had scored and
it was decided a draw.
The teams played good ball and de-
serve great deal of credit. The date
for another contest has not yet been ar
ranged. but will be in the near future.
They lined up as follows:
rlboroughs-Harris, center; Sto-
ry, left guard; Brown, right guard /;
Gray, left tackle; Tibbetts, right tackle !;

A CHURCH'S DEBT.
The Methodist Episcopal Church of
Monrovia in Court.

The suit Of Hannah c. Pile, execu-
trix of the estate of William A. Pile,
against the Methodist Episcopal church
of Monrovia, came up before Judge
York yesterday. The action is one to
recover s27SO.06 with per cent interest
from February %, 1889.
1t appeared that Mr.. Pile was treas
urer of the church and when the church
edifice was erected and furnished there
were certain debts contracted which he
paid out of his own pocket, as 1t is said,
to prevent any contention that might
arise and bring the church into discredit.
The amount of this indebtedness was
$7SS7. 0S, and $510702 was paid off by
the church before Mr.. Piles death,
which took place on July Z, 1889. The
balance of s27S0.06 has never been re-
paid and for this purpose the suit was
instituted.
The case will come up for further hear
ing today
