ENDED IN DIVORCE.
Jacob Lorillard, Jr., Claimed
His Wife Was Cruel.
no DEFENSE MADE TO THE CHARGE.
Courts Wind Up the Romantic Love
Match Which Caused the DIsinher-
itaDce OF the Young Man by
His Incensed Mother.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Jacob Lor-
Hard, Jr., nephew of Pierre Lorillard
and brother of Ernest E. Lorillard and
Mrs. William II. Sands, has been di-
vorced from the woman for whom he
gave up his mothers affection. Suit
was brought by Mr. Lorillard on the
grounds of incompatibility Of tempera-
ment and cruelty. His wife, Abbie NJ.
Lorillard, made no defense, and the
common pleas court handed down the
decree.
Mr.. Lorlllard is now 2s years old. In
his youthful days he lived in New York
city, the family home being at the
southwest corner of Thirty-fourth street
and Madison avenue. He moved in
exclusive society circles, and his mother
had high social ambitions for him.
He became estranged from his family
in the spring of 1891. when he married
young woman whom his mother, Mrs
Frances u. Lorillard, considered be-
meath him. The wedding took place in
Florida without the knowledge of his
relatives. Forgiveness was not accord
ed to him, and his mother refused to
recognize his wife.
Mr. Lorillard Travelled with his bride
for q year, and then, as his money was
running low, the couple settled in this
city, establishing a home in North
Twenty-second street. The young hus-
bands resources were not large, but his
uncle. Pierre Lorillard, sometimes helpt
ed him with employment.
Mrs. Frances U. Lorillard died Aug. 2.
1896. and her will, dated a month before
her death, was filed a year later Jew
elry and other treasures were distrib-
uted among children and grandchildren.
but nothing was given to her wayward
son. OF him she said:
Whereas my son Jacob has disgraced
me. hereby totally disinherit him from
any part Of my estate"
1t had been supposed Mrs. Lorillard
left a large fortune, but the property
under the will. as scheduled by the ex-
ecutors, was valued at $4,000. Jacob
Lorillard, Sr., however, is supposed to
be wealthy. He recently remarked In
London and is expected in this country
In q few weeks.

thus giving ample time for both men to get

hard training.
"Jeffries is in a No. l condition" said
Billy Delaney, Jeffries' manager, Monday
night, "having spent most of his time since
his return from the east in the mountains
of Southern California. This ought to be
a star contest, because Smith is said to be in
tip-top shape, and he has good record be-
hind him."
Jeffries was also seen last night. and he
said ''The business details of my proposed
GO with Smith are in Delaney's hands.
So far as my fitness for the 60 is concerned,
there is not any question about it. l am
in prime shape and only need few weeks
gymnasium and road work to be ready for
anything that comes along. | am looking
for good bout, and l don't believe there
