HER ACTION
WITHDRAWN
Mrs. Norman DiScOntin-
ues Divorc: Case.
A FAMILY ARRANGEMENT.
She Will Have Separate Maiute.
nance For a Time at Least
ROMANCE OF HER MARRIAGE.
ROMANCE OF HER MARRIAGE.

Mrs Dorothy Prindall Norman. IL is
stated upon the authority Of a member
OF the family of the respondent. has dis
continued divorce proceedings against
her husband, Mr.. Hugh X. Norman,
son OF Mr.. George III. Norman, million
aire water works owner, of Newport.
Neither Mrs. Norman nor any of her
relatives are in Newport. consequently
a verification of the statement cannot
be obtained from her side Of the case.
There is every indication, however, that
Mrs. Norman has abandoned her pur-
pose TO obtain a divorce.
While on a visit 10 Newport ten days
ago, at the request OF her husbands s
parents, who hold her I'm high regard
Mrs. Norman, IL is stated, came 20 an
understanding with them, whereby she
is to have a separate maintenance, for
a, time. at least. during which IL Is
hoped that all differences between hus-
band and wife will be adjusted. as IL is
known they relate only to the matter
OF her support.
The announcement five weeks ago
that Mrs. Norman had filed a petition
for Divorce. alleging neglect to provide
and non-support, startled society. Not
much had been seen OF the persons in
teTeSteu since n year ago, Wnen tney
went abroad with Mrs George III. Nor
man. Mr.. Norman returned somewhat
sooner than he was expected, but this
caused no comment. though IL has since
been learned that husband and wife
really separated in Europe. She did not
return till last June with her mother
in-law. Mr.. Norman left for the war
few days later as volunteer lieutenant
on the Glacier.
The filing of a petition for divorce
brought to mind the romantic story of
the courtship and marriage Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Norman. He was i'm Gloucester
building water works for his father
when he met the pretty daughter OF
sailmaker, John Prindall. II was love
at first sight, and although there was
opposition from the Normans, their
marriage was followed by her winning
her way to their affections. In New
port and Boston Mrs. Norman's tact
and charms soon served her to gain a
prominent social position.
When Mrs. Norman's petition was
called UP in court n week ago II was
marked continued. Later II was learn
ed that no notice had been served up
on her husband, who was and is still at
sea.
It Is probable that he could not be
reached. though IL is now said that
even before court day il had beep-de-
cided to discontinue proceedings. Mrs.
Norman has been visiting friends in
Pomfret. Conn, OF late.

As the Republican Can
= didate For Mayor.
WOULD POLL ALARGEVOTE
Little Doubt of His Election II He
Consents TO Run.
COL. SP0ONER NOT A CANDIDATE

The political pot Is boiling quite mer-
riiy today, and general interest is cen
tired in the mayoralty question, with a
very strong leaning towards Repre-
sentative Charles ID. Kimball of the
Eighth ward. A number of prominent
business men were seen this morning.
and all Of them Nerc strongly in favor
of Mr.. kimDali as the Republican can
didate for mayor, and they had no
hesitation i'm saying that he could be
elected without any great difficulty.
Col. Frank +. Olney, chairman Of the
Republican city committee. was seen.
and he said he considered that Mr..
Kimball was by far the strongest of all
the gentlemen mentioned for the place,
and he believed Mr.. Kimball would. II
nominated. be elected. He was heartily
in favor of the nomination of Mr.. Kim
ball, and believed that this sentiment
generally prevailed among the Repub-
licans OF the city.
The argument Is made that Mr.. Kim
ball would not only poll the united vote
OF his party, but would also receive the
ballots Of those gentlemen who are af-
filiated with the independent movement.
His public career has always command
ed the respect of every man, independ-
ent Of party affiliation, and his breadth
In the treatment of all questions upon
which he has had to express an opinion
commend him as an ideal candidate to
put before the people. AS an Eighth
ward man the nomination OF Mr.. Kim
ball would also be very flattering TO
the new citizens who have come in from
the annexed district. as there Is no
doubt that a very large part OF this
additional vote would most gladly be
given to Mr.. Kimball.
The whole question is now whether
Mr.. Kimball will accept the nomination
IL rendered to him. There is no doubt
that his time IL very largely taken up
In his business affairs, but being pub
lie spirited citizen there Is a hope that
he may be persuaded to assume the re-
sponsibilities OF Office and lead his party
on to victory.
IL Is understood that Hon. Henry j.
Spooner il not a candidate, while. for
the present. nothing can be ascertained
concerning the attitude of Col. Daniel
r. Ballou, whose name was suggested
at the Ninth ward caucus last evening.
Ii is probable, however, that In a few
days the delegates elected to the city
convention will hold a meeting for the
purpose of ascertaining the general sem
timent and then the gentleman decided
upon will be requested TO head the
party ticket
