Divorce Granted.

Judge Harrison, of the Circuit Court
at Winchester, yesterday signed decree
granting divorce to Mrs. Mary A. Nc
Cune from her husband, James &. Nc
Cune. Mrs. McCune is the daughter of
Charles F. Parker, of Cedar Creek,
frederick county, aud is not yet II
years of age. Some years ago, while a
member of the Virginia State Senate,
Mr.. Mcclure gained great noloriety as
the father and patron of the "anti-kiss-
ing" bill, the provisions of which pro-
hibited Airtations with schoolgirls in
this Slate. Through his connection
with this measure Mr.. McCune became
known as the "anl-kissing" statesman.
On September 20, 1905, at the age OF
40 years, Mr.. McCune eloped from Win
chester to Hsgerstown, Md, with pretty
Mary Parker, then not lG years old.
The couple were married at Hagerstown
by Rev. A. b. Station. There was
great opposition to the match on account
of the youth of The bride. A few weeks
after the wedding Mrs. McCune, through
her attorney, r. Gray Williams, filed a
bill asking for divorce, bssing her COM
plant on the ground of wilful desertiou,
which, she alleged, took place on Octo'
Der G, 1905, little more than two
weeks after the wedding. She charges
that Mr.. McCune had never contributed
to her support, with the exception oil
the expenses on their wedding trip. The
court denied her request for alimony OF
$l5 per month.

Plight With Burglars.

A pistol fight, with eight burglars on
one side and Postmaster Harry Nj. Rlge-
low. his wife and son on the other, oc-
Cured near Washington, n. j., early
yesterday morning. Although twenty
shots we're fred, it is not believed that
any of the burglars were injured. The
building was ridded with bullets, but
none of the members OF the Bigelow
family WAS hit
The burglars broke into the general
store aud postofnce at Hampton juno
ton shortly before 8 o'clock yesterday
morning. They blew open the safe and
secured about $500 worth Of stamps aud
money, and they were about to leave
the building when Mrs. BigelOw, who
had been awakened by the noise OF the
explosion, threw open window over
the store to learn the cause.
As she did 80 one of the burglars, who
was standing near the door of the store,
threw hashlight upon her, completely
binding her for 4 moment. She ran
into her room, alarmed her husband
and son, and grabbed her own revolver.
All three hurried to windows on the
floor, and a. they reached them they saw
the burglars making of. The three
opened fire on them, and the burglars
paused long enough to return the Volley,
when the Bigelows answered by firing
again. Some of the burglars then fred
once more, but the others made of in q
hurry and disappeared in the darkness.
The roise OF the shooting aroused a
number of citizens, bat when posse
was organized to hunt for the burglars
they had made good their escape and
are still at large.
An investigation of the store showed
that the burglars had secured all the
money and stamps there were in the
safe.
A general alarm has been sent out for
the men, but ii is not believed they will
be captured, az they have no doubt sep
arated long before this.

The advocates of a lock canal at
Panama have won their fight in the
Senate. A careful poll which has been
made shows that there are rs Senators,
with possibly one more to be won over,
who will vote against The sea-level plan
when the bill comes up tomorrow and
will substitute therefore declaration in
favor of the lock type. This means a ma
iOrity of either three or FIVE in behalf of
less expensive and more quickly con-
structed waterway TO connect the At
lsntic aud Pacific oceans. As the House
has already placed itself On record Tor
the lock plan the vote at the other end
Of the the Capitol will settle the question.
Three weeks ago, il the vote on the
pending bill had been taken, the
Senate would have endorsed the sea-
level idea by large maj )rity, for
the democrats were, aud are now,
practically united on that plan and
there was big republican vote for it.
Then Senator Allison BE- came ill., Dur
ing his enforced confinement he read
the literature on the canal subject, with
the result that he concluded that time
and money would be saved by building
the canal with locks. Senator Aldrich
fell in with this idea and started an
energetic campaign. He was backed By
the torce of administration approval aud
recommendation. Perhaps the solidity
OF the democratic vote was itself an
argument against the ses-level bill.
