L. Hardy has anxiously and patiently
awaited the return of her husband, George
NJ. Hardy, who, it is alleged, practically
deserted her at the altar when they were

On the date mentioned, Mrs. Hardy says
in her petition for divorce filed today
through her attorney Charles. Benheim,
that after the marriage ceremony was
performed she and her husband went to
the railway depot for the purpose of re-
turning to Washington. To her surprise,

He is further alleged to have said that he
only married the complainant in order TO

SEIZED THEIR WARDRoBEs.
Young Men Who Quit a Boardin,
House Are in a Pickle.

Young Men Who Quit q Boarding
House Are In a Pickle.
The fate of three complete wardrobes, in
GLIDING s42 and golf hose, trembled in the
balance yesterday when Judge Otis at special
term denied the application of the defendant
to have the summons set aside in the actions
brought against Mrs. Jennie Miner by James
w. Smith ana Harry Agnew. The clothing
is now in the possession of the sheriff, and
the plaintiffs are suing for it's recovery.
It appears that during the last fall Agnew
and James w. Smith, who is son of Rev.
Sam G. Smith, engaged apartments at the
Miner, an arstocratic boarding house con-
Quoted by Mrs. Miner, at 1852 West College
avenue. For a short time the young men
were happy amid their new surroundings,
but for some unknown reason the trio decided
to move The news of the intended removal
was broken SO suddenly to Mrs. Miner that
she was totally unprepared and could only
gasp her surprise.
Then, 1T is alleged, the landlady decided
that the notice given was insufficient and
that she should have been told before. In rec
ompense for the slight, she asked that each
of the young men must pay months board
in advance. She felt that the rooms had been
engaged for the winter, and she needed the
money
Then there was a detention of the ward
robes belonging to the men, and visit by
deputy sheriff armed with q writ of replevin
for all OF the property, including golf hose,
dress suits, top coats and linen, together with
souvenirs and photographs. The result was
an encounter with policeman and two serv-
ing maids, mingled with flow Of recrimina-
tons and tears, and three law suits.
