sitions on the hills, in two wings. The

ALL's WELL THAT ENDS WELL
Mr.. Morse Drops the Suit TO Set His
Damghter.s Marriage Aside.

Vice Chancellor Pitney was notified this
morning that the suit of Miss Rachel
Morse against Frank ]. McLeavy, to set
aside her marriage with him had been
discontinued by Miss Morse's father who
commenced the suit, his daughter being a
minor.
Counselor Kaye Porter, of New York,
counsel for young McLeavy was in
Chancery Chambers this morning ready
to continue the suit when Mr.. Morse's
lawyer, Mr. G. Hill sent word that the
suit was dropped.
The proceeding in the matter in the
Court of Chancery brought to light a
singular story. Miss Morse, very pretty
young girl fell in love with McLeavy a
STRIPPING of nineteen. Her father was a
wealthy auetioneer on Fourth avenue,
New York City, and McLeavy lived with
his parents on Columbia avenue, the same
city. The young people met secretly and
as Miss Morse says her lover induced her
to come over TO Jersey City last year
and be .'betrothed'' before Rev E. l..
Stoddard, D. D., rector of St Johns
Episcopal Church. Summit avenue
Miss Morse's parents being Jews, it is
the custom OF that race to have a
betrothal ceremony before the Rabbi, to
be followed later by marriage The pro-
ceedings before Rev Dr. Stoddard, she
alleged in her petition to Chancellor Nc
Gill for the setting aside of her mar
r1age, were she believed only betrothal,
but young McLeavy, who is a Christian,
says she was fully aware of the act she
was committing
Anyhow when the marriage was made
known to Mr.. Morse by young MvLeavy,
who claimed his bride, the door was shut
IN his face and the girl was not per-
mitted to see him. Then the suit was
brought.
Her parents object to our marriage
simply because / am not Jew" said
young McLeavy in his answer. The case
was partially heard and an adjournment
taken until this morning
1t is said tnat the reason of the sudden
discontinuance of the suit, is the delicate
health of the young brideh A reconcilia-
t1on will follow and young McLeavy will
be permitted to take his bride to his
home.

General Secretary of the Sabbath
Union-Made WsstMtnster Pay.

The Rev. I. w. Hathaway, who severed
his connection with the Westminster
Presbyterian Church on Sunday last,
after being it's pastor for eighteen years,
has accepted the position of general sec
retary of the American Sabbath Union,
left vacant by the resignation of ]. H.
Knowles.
1t has just leaked out that Dr. Hath
away came very near not preaching his
farewell sermon on Sunday last. The
trustees owed him two months salary and
$4O0 they borrowed from him two years
ago. The condition on which he resigned
his pastorate was that he should be paid
in full all that was owed to him. On
Friday he notified the trustees that un-
less he was paid by Saturday night he
would not declare the pulpit vacant on
the following day. They wanted him to
wait until Monday for his money, but
he insisted that his demands be met The
result was that the money was scraped
together and he was paid in full late
Saturday night.
The end is not yet, however, as there
are other tangles to be unravelled Inter-
esting revelations are looked for before a
final settlement is made between Mr..
Hathaway and the people of Westminster.

STRUCK WITH A BEER BOTTLE.
Moore Did Not Like His Drink So
He Raised a Small Riot.

John Moore, 25 years of age, an English
man, of No. 567 Newark street. Hoboken,
entered the saloon kept by Benjamin
Badaracco at First and Grand streets,
that city, last night and called for a
drink. The drink did not agree with his
taste and when he spoke to Badaracco
about it a quarrel ensued. Several other
men in the saloon joined in the fight and
some one struck yBadaracco on the head
with beer bottle, inficting an ugly scalp
wound.
Policeman Foley was called in and he
placed Moore under arrest, charged with
the ass ault. Badaracco went to the
office of DIR. Walter Steadman to have
his wound dressed but before MS wound
was sewed up he tainted and was re-
moved to St. Marys Hospital in the am
bulance. On the way TO the police station
Moore fought viciously and struck Foley
several times with his fish. He was
finally subdued however, and locked in a
cell.
This morning he was arraigned before
Recorder McDonough on three charges,
including drunk and disorderly, assault
and battery on Foley and atrocious as
sault and battery on Badaracco. He was
held for trial in default of bail.

But the Belllgerents Must.
First of All Seek
Mediation.
ARE THE GREEKS CoWARDs7
Accusations Of Italian Volunteers
-George's Alleged Stock
Jobbing.
ARE THE GREEKS EDWARDS?

LONDON, May A, 1897-The Parlia-
mentary Secretary for the Foreign office,
Mr. George N. Curzon, in the House of
Commons today, replying to question,
said communications on the subject, Of
mediation were continually passing be-
tween powers, who earnestly desire to see
the war between Greece and Turkey
ended.
But he added, ''the first essential to
successful mediation is evidence that the
belligerents are prepared to accept it,
The difficulty of saying what has actu-
ally occurred at the seat of war con-
tinues But the presumption, from the
known facts of the military situation is
that Edhem Pasha is merely feeling the
Greek position at Pharsalos preparatory
to to delivering a general attack. Edhem
Pasha's repeated assaults on the wings of
the Greek formation have probably the
object of compelling Prince Constantine to
send them reinforcements and thus weak
en- his centre at Pharsalos. We may soon,
therefore, expect to hear that Edhem
Pasha has struck hard at this weakened
point.
It looks as though Greece was giving up
the game in Crete and the recall of
Colonel Vassos can only be regarded as
making for peace, and is apparently the
first step in that direction.
Greece may thus regain the friendship
of the powers, which have always stip-
ulated this amende before using their
good offices at Constantinople. The ap-
pointment of nominal successor to Col.
Vassos is undoubtedly only blind to al
lay popular protests.
A special despatch received here from
Arta this afternoon says that a force Of
5000 Greeks, commanded by Col. Bairac-
tharis, while advancing on Pentepigadia,
has been engaged by the Turks. A bat
tle according to this despatch, is now
in progress.

flames were first discovered above the
stall occupied by the Duchess of Uzes
while the place was densely crowded
with well known society people, the hold
ing of the bazaar in the cause of charity
being an annual function presided over
by the leaders of Partisan society. A
terrible panic and crush followed the
alarm of fire. There was wild rush
for the exits and the weaker persons
were trampled on after having been

How an Old Soldier PersIsted In Re-
fuslng 10 Support His Family

Charles Hopping, SO years old, of No.
5S2 Clinton street, Hoboken, was arraigned
in the Hoboken Police Court this morning
charged with persistently refusing to sup
port his wife and family. Klopping is a
veteran of the civil war and receives a
pension of IS per month from the govern
ment. He was married thirteen years ago
and had four children. One of the chill
dren died few years ago.
Shortly after his marriage he began to
neglect his family and although he re-
ceived his pension regularly every month
he refused to provide for his wife and
children. The attention of the police
authorities was brought to the case about
four years ago when Mrs. Hopping com
planned to the Poormaster. Hopping was
arrested and sentenced to the Penitentiary
for one year.
When he came out he still refused to
give anything for his family's support and
was arrested again. Recorder McDonough
thought of a plan and induced Corporation
Attorney Minturn to write to the United
States Pension Bureau at Washington, re-
questing to have 81 of Klopping's pension
set apart for his family. This was done
and for several months Mrs. Hopping re-
ceiyed half of her husbands pension
direct from Washington.
Then Hopping decided upon plan and
in order that he might defeat his wife
he applied for admittance to the Old
Soldiers Home, in Virginia, where he re-
mained for one year. During his stay
there according to the rules of the home,
his pension was paid to the institution,
and his family was again left destitute.
Klopping returned to his home some
months ago. This morning he was again
arrest for non-support and upon his own
confession Recorder. McDonough com
| mitted him ito the Penitentiary. In the
meantime, Hopping has promised to pay
his wife four dollars month
