The Burwen Divorce Case.

y cross bill in divorce proceedings
instituted nearly two years ago by
Mrs. Burwell has been filed bv DR..
John Page Burwell, of Washington.
The former is said to have deserted
her husband in July 1897, and to
have taken with her their two chill
dren. In the course of the hearing
of her petition, she was directed to
produce them in court, and in conse
quence of her failure to DO so, was
adjudged in contempt.
DR.. Burwell states that he believes
Mrs. Burwell now resides in Ocean
City, Nd. to which place he SAYS he
went a year ago and, in the courts of
proper jurisdiction, filed a petition
for habeas corpus for the custody of
his children. The children were
hidden, however, by Mrs. Burwell,
continues the complainant, so that
the officers of the Maryland courts
could not reach them. In October
last he made another trial, but was
again unsuccessful, because of the
efforts of his wife. Prayer is made
that the court grant DR.. Burwell an
absolute divorce and take such action
as will give to him the custody of his
children. Wash. Cor. BALTIC. Sun.

Death of Thomas Hyde, Jr.

Mr.. Thomas Hyde, Jr.. who some
years ago bought land near Boyce
and built upon it a handsome resi-
dence, died in Washington city on
the 3rd of July. He was the son of
Thomas Hyde, president of the Riggs
National Bank of that city. He was
about 30 years of age, and at one
time was an official of the bank of
which his father is president. Poor
health compelled him to retire from
service in that institution, and hence
he purchased and built at Boyce in
order to spend the summer there.
and to give play to the interest he
felt In fine horses.
