THE STEWARDS DIVORCED.
Judge Says He Knew Nothing of the
Past Litigation.

Judge Allen of the Circuit Court yester-
day granted Helen T. Stewart divorce
from John w. Stewart. The judge says he
did not learn until after the divorce was
granted that the Stewards had, for the last
two years, been airing their domestic af-
fairs in the Superior Courts. Their first case
was in Room 3, Superior Court when John
w. Stewart brought suit for divorce from
Fannie Stewart" The decree was granted
and few days later Helen Stewart came
into Court and asked that the decree be set
aside. She claimed that there was no Fan
ME Stewart" and that she. the petitioner,
was the only wife Stewart ever had In
making the assertion that Fannie Stew
art was a myth, Helen Stewart charged
that the divorce proceedings constituted
plot on the part of her husband to make it
wife, in order to deprive her of any share
In his property. Judge Carter set the divorce
aside and sent for Stewart who came into
court and showed that there was Fan
ME Stewart and that he had been married
to her. He claimed that he had married
Helen Stewart under the impression that he
was legally free from the other woman He
was again divorced from Fannie Stewart
The next move of the Stewards was when
John W. Stewart brought an action for di-
Xorce IN Room ], Superior Court, making
Helen Stewart the plaintiff The latter filed
cross-bill, in which she demanded a di-
Vorce. Judge McMaster considered both pc
uuons and declined to grant a divorce to
either of the applicants. Recently Mrs. Stew
art brought suit in the Circuit Court and
was successful there in procuring the de-

Petitions in involuntary bankruptcy
against William j. and George j. Dudley
were brought in the United States District
Court yesterday by Wyler, Ackerland &
Co., Lowman's Sons and S. L. Weller, of
Cincinnati. They aver that William J.
Dudley is indebted to them in various
amounts aggregating 1922 % and that he
was so indebted prior to jan II, 1899, when
he transferred his interest in dry goods
clothing and general merchandise store at
ll06 Virginia avenue to George J. Dudley to
secure a pretended claim of some 81, 100
Since that time, it is alleged, George j.
Dudley has been in possession of the store
and has refused to show the petitioners the
bill of sale by which he acquired his title.
The court is asked to enjoin George j. Dud-
ley from selling the stock, to appoint trus-
tee TO take charge for the benefit of the I'M
secured creditors and to declare a condition
of insolvency to exist.
A petition in bankruptcy was filed by
Henry u. Mathews and Liday Fleming,
known as Fl. E. Mathews & Co. A
schedule of liabilities is fled showing $685.
520O4 secured by mortgages and various
small amounts due unsecured creditors.

After an hours play last night the Cyclic
ramas and the Oneidas finished a good game
of polo at the Cyclorama Rink, with each
side having scored two goals. For the pur-
pose of evening up the teams, Manager
Reick allowed Clemens and Wilson, of the
regular team, to play on the picked team
along with Hornaday, the utility man, and
the result was hard-fought game to the
end Wise made his first appearance on the
team and showed conclusively that, had he
been at Richmond, the score would have
been different He and Mack were easily the
stars of the game, while little fault could
be found with any of the players except
Fisher. who is, as yet somewhat slow.
Mack's superior work at half back made AL
lens work easy, but the two stops he made
were timely and we'll done. Wilson, at CEN
ter did some good blocking, and materially
helped Wise to score the two goals made by
the regular team. The ending of the game
was peculiar. When all but minute of the
time limit had been used, Wise's skate broke
and it was found that 1t could not have been
repaired and the rush made in the time al
lowed, SO it was decided to call the extra
minute off.
The lineup and score of the game was as
follows.

NO PAY FOR THE EXPERT
COURT FINDS THAT CITY ADMINS
TRATION VIOLATED CHARTER.
Judge McNIaster, However. Thinks
Hill and Geiss should
BE Paid.

Judge McMaster, of the Superior Court,
yesterday decided the injunction suit of
Councilman Grail against TIE city to
prevent the payment of the amounts
demanded by John W. Hill and DR..
John E. Gels, the experts employed
to assist the city in its contemplated
purchase of the water works. Judge Nc
Master decides that, as there was no ap-
preparation for the payment of these men.
the contract with them was void. Mr.. Hill
wanted s., 200 for his work and Dr. Gels put
in claim for $780,
In deciding the case Judge McMaster said
he regretted to find against the experts,
for he believed they should be paid for
their work. He suggested that if his dec-
sion was in accordance with the law, then
the only remedy was in the passage of a
special act by the Legislature permitting the
payment of the amounts. If he was wrong
in his decision the remedy would be found in
an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Mayor Taggart, after hearing of the de-
cision, declared that Hill and Gels should
be paid for their work in some way The
mayor thought that Mr. Hills work was of
great value to the city and he proposed to
see TO it that the money was paid. 1t was
contended at the time the city administra-
ton employed the experts that the pro-
cedure was illegal.

II fear that the publication of an article
in an afternoon paper on the work of the
experts who are examining county records
may be construed as a reflection on ex-
County Clerk Fesler," said C. A. Book
walter last night. Il have only this to say,
that in every instance in the 1900 cases
which we have checked up to date every
receipt made for money was complete and
explicit. and in every instance the name of
the clerk was affixed to the receipt In the
example quoted by the evening paper it was
only sought to show that as a result of
the system of receipts in vogue it was neces-
sary to examine each docket page by page,
thus accounting for the time consumed in
the examination. l can say for both myself
and Mr. McCaslin that in so far as the
work Of Mr. Fesler is concerned we have
found nothing whatever but the most care
full accounting for moneys received. When
l use the word Mr.. Fesler l mean not only
the clerk himself, but all other employees
of the office receipting for money

Pennsylvania Company Not Interested
in Franchises.

Samuel o. Pickens attorney for the Penn

lore the County Commissioners yesterday
and made the following statement:

morning with respect to the granting of an
electric railroad franchise along the Ma
tional road by the board it is stated that a
company headed by S. o. Pickens. attorney

$1,000 for it. cannot understand how such
an erroneous statement originated I have
not headed any electric company wanting a
franchise, nor have any connection, di-
rectly or indirectly, with any such company.
l have seen in the newspapers within the
last few days statements to the effect that
my brother and certain associates desired

National road and had offered $1,000 for it..

way, directly or Indirectly. with him in that
enterprise, or in any other enterprise with
respect to electric roads. w. A. Pickens has
no connection whatever with the Pennsyl-
Vania Company
I'm the paragraph referred to it is further
stated that Commissioner Greer has re-
ceived a letter from one of the responsible
citizens of the county who has devoted
considerable thought to the suburban rail-
road situation in which this responsible,
thoughtful citizen states, or 'intimates, that
the Pennsylvania system was behind the
electric company seeking a franchise over
the National road. 1t is evident that this
thoughtful citizen has given little thought
to the truthfulness of the statements which
he has volu&seered to make to Commissioner
Greer. He either does not know what he
is talking about or else he is interested in
the rival company to the one which w. A.
Plckens and his associates represent. and
has conceived the idea that if he could get
the board to believe that the Pennsylvania
prise his COMPANY wo,1Id therebv Obtain an
advantage over its rival The Pennsylvania
Railroad interests have no connection what
ever, nor are they in any manner interested
