When they seemingly showed no inten-
ton Of doing so he started to turn. So
did they and the collision resulted.
The occupants OF the buggy were thrown
to the ground and the baby received some
slight injuries about the head. Both We
hicles were badly demolished. The acct

Police Praised
After Inspection
Mayor and Commissioners Review
Force Drawn Up in Serried
Rank.

With their shoes, brass buttons and silver
badges shining from many polishings,
their blue uniforms spotless and pressed
into razor-edge cresses, and regulation pa
rade smiles on their faces, 100 officers and
men OF the police department, under Chief
Donahue, took part in the annua drill ana
inspection Thursday afternoon.
Mayor DahlmRn, and w. +. Wappich, w.
]. Hunter and Charles Karbach Of the
Board Of Fire and Police Commissioners,
reviewed the men in front Of the police
station at Eleventh and Dodge streets.
Aside from a few insignificant bitches,
the msneuvers went off with precision. A
small, but decidedly active, colored boy al
most upset the official photographers
camera just as he was swapping a bunch
OF smiles on the faces Of the men In line;
a fly tried its best to remain in one Of
Lieutenant" Thomas Hayes ears while
he was in command Of the patrolmen dur
ing the drill; som of the spectators got
the cleanup fever from looking at the
spick and span cops and stsmpeded to
the shoe shining box in the Jail hallway,
and one Of the commissioner was almost
overcome by standing too near the chiefs
diamond set gold badge.
Mayor Dahlman complimented the Of
ficers and men for their drilling and on
the condition Of the Jail building, police dis
pensary, auto patrol. motorcycles, patrol
wagon and horses, all Of which were in
spected. He also praised the officers for
the creditable stand they had taken in le-
gard to the salary increase question.
The legislature" he said, was highly
considerable of your value to the COM
munity, and so raised your salaries. But
1t failed to attend to the most important
thing, the appropriation which had to be
increased to meet the salary increases. You
deserve great credit for agreeing to serve
the city at the old scale of pay when by
law more is due you"
Commissioners Wappich and Hunter and
Chief Donahue also made brief speeches to
the men. The officers of the department

Divorced Couple Who Had Since
Married Others Now Want to Re-
Marry.

Divorced Couple Who Had Since
Married Others Now Want to Re-
Marry.
A special from Durham to Thurs
days Raleigh Times, gives the fol-
lowing account of a unique divorce
suit that has been instituted in the
courts of that city:
"City Attorney r. D. Everett to-
day actually began one of the most
unique divorce and re-marriage
suits that any court has ever had to
settle.
Probably seven or eight years
ago E. A. Darlington, of this county.
a well-connected fellow, married
Miss Mary Young. They lived to-
gether several years. bat he became
rather improvident and careless
husband. Last year they were di-
vorced duly on the grounds Of non
support March OF this year. Car
rfgan married Katie Jerntgan, the
wife of Perdue Jernigan. who had
become the same sort of husband as
Darlington had been. 1t seems that
there was no action for divorce
brought in this case, and the Jerni-
gan woman did not wait the required
seven years in which to make the
rebuttal supposition that her hus-
band was dead.
Recently the first Mrs. Caring
ton has shown signs Of returning af-
lection, the child was the connecting
link, and she has completely won the
husband of the Jernigan woman. He
has gone crazy for the second time
over her and wants to re-marry her.
Today he began a suit against the
second Mrs. Darlington In the civil
courts for annulment of the marital
contract and indicts her for bigamy.
The relatives of the good, divorced
Mrs. Darlington do not want her to
marry the fellow again, but she has
made up her mind to do it. The
second Mrs. Darlington is from
Sampson County and her first hus-
band, though dead, yet lives"
