 of Philadelphia.
 PHILADELPHIA, June Is.

McNichol. a broth CT of James F McNichol. It was also shown that after James P. NcNichol left councils his wife withdrew from the firm and that her place was taken by himself.
 As result of what developed at the bearing Mayor Weaver later accepted the resignation of John W. Hill. chief engineer of the bureau of filtration. and also that of his son. Henry VI. HilL who was assistant to his father. The resignarions were sent to the mayor. to take effect June 3g. but they were accepted to take effect inmedi- stely.

l4srdly-Asle. &c, Amer a. n. S.

Last week Thursday, Manager "Nick'
Niebaum assembled his Hardly-A bles and
led them to Mccall park TO face the X. II
;. boys, who have been beating everything
In their class this year. The latter team
smiled good naturally, anticipating a
little batting practice. They scored six
times IN the first inning and didn't halt
try. But after that ii was another story.
The eripples began 10 climb up, snd as
they unlimbered their joints surprised the
boys BY their stiff hitting and sharp field
ing. They managed to tie the score, which
stood 10 at the end of the ninth. In
the tenth, the old-timers added two more.
and as one run was the best II. II. 5. could
do, the Hardly-A bles carried of the game,
II to 10. Bass and Connolly were the
High school battery.
A good deal OF chatting followed, and
both sides wanted to try il again, so FRI
day there was another game. II was "Jaek
In the box" this time, and little Wallis
slow ones bothered the victors OF the day
before considerably. Both teams played
for blood this time. remarkable catch
OF foul by Fred Hayward in left and a
wonderful one hand jumping catch OF a

two runs were among the features. X. II.

"Bill" Moulton pitched both games for
the Hardly bles, and was well caught by
Horace Moulton.

w. c. Morris Divorce Sustained.

w. y. motifs divorce sustained.
Justice Mccall OF the supreme court o.
New York decided last Thursday that
Margaret Morris, first wife of Wilson G
Morris, formerly proprietor of the Hote
San Reno, and now engaged in real estate
| business in New York, cannot obtain 9
divorce from him. The court upholds the
divorce obtained by Mr.. Morris in YER
mont and his subsequent marriage to Mrs
Kathleen Anderson Mahoney.
The New York Law Journal gives JUS
tice McCall's opinion on this case as fol-
lows:-"The plaintiff and defendant in
this action were married about August "a,
1891, and for a time both were residents OF
the state of New York. Some time toward
the close OF the year 1898 they, taking with
them all their property, consisting OF FUR
niture, horses, wagons, etc, removed from
the state with the clearly expressed and
avowed intention OF establishing them
selves in some state other than that OF
! New York. They first located at White
River Junction, Vt, where they remained
living as man and wife down to some time
In January, 1894, when a quarrel ensued
between them and they separated and
never again lived together as man and
wife.
"The defendant finally located in Ran
dolph, IN the state OF Vermont, which was
the state OF his birth, and remained there
for about two years or over, when be
brought action for absolute divorce
against the plaintiff, predicating his right
to the relief asked for on the grounds OF
unusual cruelty, and in 1895 was granted
a decree OF absolute divorce. The service
in that action IN the Vermont courts was
made upon the plaintiff in this action by
pu utilization, and, the defendant in that
action being the plaintiff herein, did not
appear. find that all the requirements OF
the Vermont statute in reference to such
service were fully complied with.
"Four years after he had obtained his
decree and in the year 1899 the defendant
in this action married his present wife,and
the alleged adultery charged against HIM
in this action arises out of the relations
that existed between him and the present
Mrs. Morris. II will thus be seen that the
only question to be met and decided in the
present litigation Is as to the validity OF
the decree or judgment OF divorce granted
defendant against the plaintiff December,
1895, by the Orange county court, in the
state OF Vermont, and having heretofore
found and stated that the terms OF the
statute governing the service by publica-
tion were fully complied with, leaves the
single question OF whether the state OF
Vermont was the matrimonial domicile OF
the parties, and the proof on that score is,
in my judgment, too convincing to permit
OF doubt.
"rhe case cannot be classified with the
too frequent instances of one OF the parties
seeking a domicile for the sole purpose of
instituting litigation to dissolve the mar
rage tie, but is on the contrary replete
with proof OF bona fide intention upon
the part Of the defendant herein OF To-
eating in that state permanently and there
esta blishing his home. Judgment, there
fore, for defendant. Present finding and
decree accordingly
