MANY YACHTS NJ RACE.
Eleven Crack Vessels to Contest for
Supremacy Of the sea-Thrss
Nations Represented.

New York, May II. - Eleven yachts,
flying the flags of three nations, and
varying in size from an s5-ton schoon-
Or to 64s-ton ship, were prepared to
start Tuesday from the Sandy Hook
FiEAtsAip for race of about 5000 miles
across the Atlantic ocean to the L,zart,
on the coast of England for cup and
three prizes offered by the German em.:
peror. Eight of the contestants are ves-
sells owned In this country, two are from
England, while Germany has one rep
resentatiye. While up to $3.50 no Of
ofhcial announcement of the postpone
ment Of the race had been given out, it
was generally understood at Sandy
Hook that none of the yachts would go
out aa account Of the heavy fog. blu.
that an effort would be made to start
Wednesday. -
The race is notable for the variety OF
build and rig of the vessels taking part
In it, for the great distance to be sailed
and possibly severe weather that may
be encountered. and from that fact 1t
affords 2 test of heavily built ocean
going craft. Yachtsmen regard it as
move toward the substitution OF q more
seaworthy type Of craft in International
races In place OF the racing machines
which have contested for the Americas
cup. The course is approximately
5000 miles long and the yachts are e1-
pected to consume two to three weeks
in covering the distance. In the choice
Of the northern or southern route the
captain may exercise his judgment and
knowledge OF ocean winds and currents

SENSATIONAL BREACH ofPRoMIsE CASE
R. A. Morton Sues for $4,000, to
SoOth his Wounded Feelings.

One uf the most sensational cases
ever brought in this county will be
tried before the Honorable John
McCook, presiding Judge, at the
Congregational Church in this city,
Friday evening, May 26th. Raymond
Alphonso Morton brings the action
against Miss Charlotte Amorita
Burgess, and alleges that after a long
courtship conducted by him alta great
loss of time and money Miss Burgess,
who was a most loving if not lovable
sweetheart, prt misses to become his
wife, and share his joys and fortunes,
his SORROWS and miSfortunes, forever.
But THE course Of their true love ran
not smoothly-in fact the young lady
had mother who began to exercise
the prerogatives Of mother-in law
before she was entitled to wear the
title; and as result Of this too.Soon
mother-in-law business the engage
ment was broken off and Miss Burgess
declined to venture upon the mltri.
monial sea after the craft had been
chartered. The fair young boy had
become SO wrapped that he could not
stand the rapping and knocking; his
health has been impaired, his heart
broken, Lis eyesight injured, and his
mind weakened to such an extent
that he thinks it will take $4,000 to
repair the damages, and he asks the
twelve men, good and true, who will
sit as jurors in the case to give hiHl
this amount,
Messrs. Upton and Church have
been employed as attorneys to conduct
the case on the part of the plaintiff,
and it is understood that Messrs
G. w. Reed and Grannis will appear
for Miss Burgess. The case promises

Indianapolis, Ind.-According to the
reports received by the secretary of the
board of statistics from every county
In the state, with the exception Of Brown
county, the number Of marriages for the
year just passed is greater than that OF
the preceding year, and the divorce u

In the state Of Indiana 2s.213 mar.
riages were performed Last year and
8,4S6 divorce DEGREES were issued, az
against 2s005 marriages during the
preceding year and 3,763 divorces. OF
these, 2,516 were issued to the woman
this year and 1868 last year.
The statistics also show that drunk
enness among women Is on the increase
and on the decline among the members
Of the sterner sax. Ten husbands wers
freed because their wives drank, 26a
wives were separated from their hus.
bands on account OF intemperance. The
report OF the year 1903 shows that only
two husbands were divorced because OF
their wives fondness for the cup that
cheers, while 342 were made single be-
cause Of their own fondness for drink.
Marion county judges granted d.
vorces to 100 men and to 342 women.
In these the chief grounds for complaint
were cruelty and abandonment. Mar
riage licenses were issued to 2,675 cou-
