DEPENDANT A THIRD TIME.
Marvel Makes Another Attempt to
 Ohtain S3. .OOO. GOO.

Morristown. N. Y, March 25.-Mrs. George F. Stone, a resident of this place. has, for the third time. been made de- fendant in a suit for damages by Will liam D. Marvel, who seeks to recover 8, 900 GOO from the estate of George F. Stone. who died in January. 1895.
 The suit involves mines near the Med iterranean and royal concessions from Spain. According to the complaint. Mar vel went to Spain in 1888 and secured a charter from the Spanish Government for building a narrow gauge road from the mines to the seashore. His plans were to build ths railway, work the mines and sell and ship the ore. from which he expected to produce the finest steel.
 On his return to this country. the Mar vel Company, limited. was organized with capital of $1 100000. Mir. Stone was a special partner. The venture was not successful, and later the whole business was placed in the hands of Stone, who placed the bonds of the company in London. Even that proved unproductive, and irally everything came to a stand- still. Marvel declares that Stone is re- sponsible for the collapse.

 Last night the local Baseball Associa- tion was completed by the election of a Board of Directors and officers. One of the first resolutions adopted at the meeting was a rule showing the very high plane in which things will be con ducted at the ball park and the safe guards, protection and comforts that will be thrown around the ladies. One section of the big grandstand will be set apart exclusively for smokers. the other three sections for ladies with or without es- corts-of course gentlemen can occupy any of these sections, but there will be no smoking except in the section desig- mated. No betting will be allowed in the grandstand, signs in big letters to that effect being hung in the stand, and a force of policemen will see that this is observed to the letter. No women of the all, and drunkenness or rowdyism of any kind will not be tolerated on the grounds, the police force having the strictest in- structions about this.
