After pub- lication had been perfected . decree pro oonfesso was had and finally, on the 18th of February, 1902, a decree was rendered granting her a divorce and ordering the defendants property sold for the pay ment of cost and alimony.
 Mrs. Haufney has since married Tim othy Love and a baby now months old has been born to her.
 Now William Gaufney, the defendant husband. turns up and files a petition before Judge Senn to set aside the de- cree of divorce, the sale of his property and all proceedings heretofore held and allow him to come in and answer. alleg- ing that he had had no day in court and been taken from him and charges that his wife, since the granting of the divorce has been living in adultery with one Tim othy Love. She makes countercharges that he has been married for several years, but to whom she does not know The petition was submitted to Judge sem this morning and he has taken It under advisement. The matters or law 1nvoiV- ed are novel. as 1t has not been settled whether the statute of limitations will run against such a showing in divorce proceedings. If the late law enacted by the last Legislature was retroactlve there would be no contest, as 1t requires notice of appeal or other notice. affect- ing the legality of the decree to be filed within sixty days.

All lovers of the national game Tn Sel- ma, and there are many, will be delight ed to know that their old-time favorite, Lem Bailey, has perfected his arrange ments to give them some gilt-edged ball within the next few weeks. MT. Bailey has succeeded in getting two games with the Southern League team of Birming- ham and they will be played on the 24th and 18th of this month in this city. MT. Bailey will put in the field a strong team composed of players who have made good In the past and who he Is confident will be able to make 1t interesting for any Of the Southern League teams. He has not yet given out the names of his players pr their positions. but 1t is certain that Tommy Stouch will again be wearing a Selma uniform and that the rest of the team will be men who are able and willing players of the game
 It has been some time since Selma had any sure enough ball and it is believed that Mir. Bailey will receive the support his confidence in the ability of Selma to support a good team deserves.
 Negotiations are pending for several games with the Montgomery League team and 1t is confidently believed that num- the Selma aggregation within the next few weeks. The games will either be played in the old ball park. which Is rap idly getting in good shape or on new field that Colonel Abbott will establish on the car line near beautiful Elkdale Park

 Many of the inquiries are of such an in- significant nature that they are cast aside without notice, while many more are of such worth that Judge Williams goes out of his way to obtain, if possible, the desired information. Having a brilliant nearly all of the commanding officers of brigades regiments. corps and companies from this section and adjoining ones, he is frequently asked for data regarding some individual officer or company by a worthy person who Is seeking a deserved pension. To such inquiries Judge Will Hams invariably gives special attention.
 Recently he received a communication from widow, residing in New Orleans, and, after exhausting all of his resources knowledge he handed the letter to The Advertiser representative and asked that it be published so that if possible the worthy woman might obtain from some one the information sought and thereby enable her to obtain that to which she is entitled The letter reads thus:
 Judge Price Williams:
 'Honored Sir-I am the widow of John Riviere, who enlisted in Captani Charpen- tiere's Battery in the Confederate war in Mobile. Ala. in 1861. am applying for a pension and want to know where Captain Charpentiere's battery surrendered. Will you be so kind as to find out the place? ? My husband surrendered with the battery. I have all the particulars except this one | item, the place of surrender. He served | until the end of the war By noticing this letter you will oblige a Confederate widow. Respectfully.

President Wickersham of the Western Railway was in the city yesterday and a number of wholesale merchants relative to running a side track up Hinton's Alley It will be remembered that some time ago the railroad applied to the City Council for permission to law this track and after considerable discussion and some opposition in the Council the desired per- mission was granted. However when the railroad put men at work laying the track they were met with an injunction which was sued out by the adjacent property holders. Work was at once discontinued and the matter has rested there up to this time.

Webb Sticks to Statement.

Jim Webb, colored, who Is to hang at noon tomorrow for the murder of Police man William P. Walton, was asked if he had anything to say about the crime, or if he would make statement on the gallows. He replied:
 T made my statement in the court, and I told the truth. They did not believe me then and it's too late now. I do not think I will have anything to say"
 Webb's story on the stand was to the effect that he had been threatened by a negro with whom he had a difficulty and that when Officer Walton came uI the stairway after him he thought that 1t was this negro and he fired upon him without knowing that 1t was police man. He still sticks to this story.
 Webbs seems dissatisfied that he has not received more calls from ministers oi his color.
