 Steamers Excelsior and Dora came into port Wednesday night They had been held in Prince William Sound twenty-four hours by binding snow storm. which accounts for the delay of their arrival. The Excelsior brought about forty passengers, ,otwhom twenty eight were from Seattle. The Dora brough, eight. Several were from the Panama.
 Capt. Moore and the old crew of the Dora are all on the little steamer which shows no signs of her long cast away voyage. She suffered no serious damage.

sbo said he offered prayer and the
ceremony was properly performed. The
connie returned to Portland and lived
toac,bcr as husband and wife for nine
years and she supposed they were
legally married.
She asserted that Manson in 1909
told her he proposed to marry another
woman. that he and she were never
married, that the supposed ceremony
was performed by friend OF his from
Chicago who impcrsonated a minister.
She said that he then tore up Der mar
rage certificate and left the house. She
had paid most of the bills and he stopped
paying the rent from that time.
Counsel for Manson did not offer any
evidence, but argued that alimony should
not be granted because Mrs. Manson has
an income of 81 week.
Judge Spear said he need not speak oi
the conduct of Manson. After having for
nine years allowed his wife to think the
marriage performed in Portsmouth was
a legal ceremony he could not come into
court and deny it. He granted the di-
yorcc and ordered Manson to pay ms
wife 500 in Il lump sum instead of ali
monv. He further ordered that she be
allowed to use her maiden name.
