ANOTHER'S WIFE DIVORCED.
Woman Had Married Again Without
Consulting First Spouse.

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y, April 20.-One
of the most remarkable divorce actions
on record was ended yesterday when
Supreme Court Justice Morschauser
granted an interlocutory decree to Hubert
r. Boyce, a young man of this city. from
Mrs. Avis Collins Martin Overstreet
Boyce. who is now the wife of Senator
George Brown, MD, OF Atlanta.
In 1904 Mr.. Boyce went to Atlanta and
met Miss Avis Collins Martin. After a
rapid courtship the couple went to New
York and were married November %
1904, by the Rev. William T. Manning OF
Trinity parish. at the home of q sister OF
the bride, Mrs. F. II. Roundaville, oath
street and Riverside drive.
Following a wedding trip to Havana,
Mr.. and Mrs. Boyce came to this city in
July, 1905. Later Mrs. Boyce returned
to Atlanta to visit her parents, DR., and
Mrs. Melville c. Martin.
Then dozens OF letters from DIR. George
Brown, assailing Mrs. Boyce. came to
Boyce. The doctor wrote later saying he
was mentally irresponsible when he at
tackled Mrs. Boyce. Then came the an
nouncement of the engagement and mar
riage of Mrs. Boyce to- Senator Brown.
In the investigation that followed Boyce
learned that his wife had been married
previously to Frank r. Oyerstreet. and
had secured a divorce from him, and that
she also had a child named Alden A.

Jealousy of the Powers.

England threatened war with Russia
when the latter had her troops at the
very gates OF Constantinople In 1877. and
they were forced to retire without full
filling what has been the dream Of every
Russian since the days of Peter the
great. Should France or England en-
deavor to seize the Turkish capital by
way of retaliation for some great wrong
done by the sultan or his subjects, there
Is no doubt that Russia. Germany and
Austria would fly to arms In order to
prevent it.
1t is so thoroughly agreed by all Eu-

the Ottoman empire will result in a great
