Yesterday Judge Bradford had
two young boys about seventeen or
eighteen years of age before him,
charged with disturbing the peace
on a railroad train. Their names
were Bob Braziel and Bob Orear
and live at or near Marietta.
The evidence adduced the fact
that one night last week while
these two young men were on their
way from Gainesville home, hav-
ing first imbibed too freely in in
toxicants of some kind, did swear,
blackguard and use language of a
vile and boisterous nature, much
to the discomfort of the other pas
sengers.
Notwithstanding the boys were
young, Judge Bradford did not
let them 90 free, he fined them $40
each and costs. He then admins
tered to them severe lecture, and
to one of their parents, who was
present. he told that if he could
not take care of his boy the law
would; that this disturbance of
passengers on the train had to be
stopped.
They paid their fines aud were

Norld Of sports.

The second season OF the New England
Duck Pin league was brought 10 a.close
this week after one of the most remark
able exhibitions OF duck pin bowling the
game has ever seen. From the first ball
that was sent down the alley early last
fall until Cahill Knocked down the last
ten pins Thursday night, I'm the Roger
Williams Riverpoint contest, the season
has been one round OF high scores and
exciting matches. and up To last week the
result was I'm doubt.
The great Victory of the Night Hawks
of Fall River IN winning first place was
notable achievement and great honor
must be accorded the Spindle city aggre-
cation for their wonderful record OF "a
won and 30 lost, scoring a total OF Ss,327
pins, with the high average OF 456.
Second in line is the Music Halls Of
this city and their hcrculean struggle for
first honors. entities them To almost as
much credit as the Might Hawks The
great battle lay between these two teams
and the result was uncertain until last
week. when the Fall River quintet, need
ing one game. captured IL and clinched
the victory The Roger Williams and
Fall Rivers were also close up and one
or two games either way would have put,
idcnce. Riverpoint and Taunton at first
rolled well, but gradually fell down to-
ward the end of the tournament and were
soon distanced.
The individual honors of the season be-
long To John g. Swift. of the Music
Halls who with the remarkably high av-
erago OF 20 1854 distances all competitors
and wins the prize for the highest aver
age. Kippax. Flynn, Brown and Terry
were close at his heels and the slightest
slip-up would have thrown him from his
pedestal,
Eleven men rolled over the 30 mark
which In itself is a truly wonderful feat
and one that has never before been
cuualed i'm duck pin annals.
Hall of the Providence team made the
highest single string. a mark OF l53. while
Terry of the Night Hawks with 343 cap.
turcd the three-string total A score OF
53i by the Fall Rivers took away the
team string prize. while the same team
was equally successful In securing the
high team total. with a mark of 1862.
Taking everything into consideration IL
was the most successful season that the
fascinating game Of duck pins has ever
known. The records of teams and play
ers are as follows:

Mrs. lynds Will Receive $780,
600 In Cash and $50 a Weak.
SHE SECURED A DIVORCE.
Husband q Son Of Late Millionaire Lawyer
Charles R. lynds Ne Dessried Her and
WANDERED 10 Far OF Australia

Trenton, n. j.. April 20---By a recent
decision of the United States supreme
court, a pretty young woman OF this town
comes in for $4,000 in cold cash and $50
a week so long as her divorced husband
lives.
This fortunate woman is Mrs. Mary w.
Lynde. the daughter of Joseph u. Wright,
a prominent Trenton insurance asentand
the divorced wife Of Charles w. Lynde,
who is the son OF the late Charles II.
Lyndc, a millionaire Brooklyn lawyer.
The case possesses some distinct ele-
ments of romance. The elder Lynde es-
tabllshed the Lynde prize for debates ia
Princeton University. and his wife, who
Is "a daughter of George Wesley Harper,
took great interest in these oratorical
contests She is woman OF fine social
and intellectual gifts. and was a great
favorite with the students and faculty
OF Princeton.
II was while young Lynde was stu
dent al Princeton that he met and fell in
love with Miss Wright, and shortly af-
ter his graduation they were married
The story that the young mans father
disapproved OF the match and cut off his
supply of money is entirely unfounded.
On the contrary, he was very fond OF
his daughter-in-law, and made his home
with her for eight years. lie made great
pets of his sons TWO children, who were
very bright ana beautiful boys, and there
is no doubt that the elder of the two
would have come in for "a fortune II e
had lived, as he was greatly beloved by
his grandfather.
The story that young Lynde left his
wife and adopted rowing life In des-
peration because his father had cast him
of is also false. The trouble was that
the young man had weakness for the
cup that cheers, and he deserted his wife
and children, leaving them TO SHIFT for
themselves.
He finally reached Australia i'm his wan
derings. and was there when his father
died. Instead OF striking IL rich" in
the mines, as has been stated, he hadnt
a cent, and money had TO be forwarded
90 bring him home.
In the meantime the deserted wife who
had obtained divorce on the ground OF
desertion. was having a desperate strug-
gle. She worked hard 10 support herself
and two little boys. serving as bookkeep.
er for her father in his insurance office
and also as typewriter in the office OF
the clerk i'm chsncery. To add 10 her sor,
rows her two interesting little boys died
within a short time OF each other from
diphtheria, and her wrecked life seemed
utterly desolate.
The elder Lynde left a fortune of more
than million dollars TO he divided be-
tween the husband Of this sorely tried
woman and another child. IL was a suit
for share of this fortune by young
Lynde'S divorced wife. that has been
carried and won through every state
court. that was finally decided in her ia
vor by the supreme court of the United
States "a few days ago. She is now placed
in comparative affluence. although the
continuance of the weekly payment OF
$50 of course depends upon her former
husbands life.
