In Her Suit for Divorce Against Coleman Drayton. HO JUST CAUSE FOR DESERTION. While Mr. Drayton May Have Had Reason For Suspicions, Declares Chancellor McGlll, Such Did Not Justify Abandonment of His Wife. TiiEKTOK, March 21. Chiirlotto Au gusta, wlfo of J. Colomau Drayton, re ceived her iloeroo of divorce from Chan cellor McGlll yesterday. Tlio decrco was uled In tho oillco of tlio clerk In chancery, and statos that it Is allowed on tho ground of desertion. Tho opinion accompanying tho decree is n rather longthy ono.

Desortlon Is never justified except when It is shown by clear and satisfactory proof that ho has been so offended against as to warrant, at his in stance, a decrco for divorce or J udiclal sepa ration. Mrs. Drayton, beforo her marriago, was Augusta Aitor, tho third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Astor. J. Coleman Drayton, although of a South Carolina family on his father s side, was a Phllu delphlan, and Hallctb Alsop Horrowo, of whom Mr. Drayton became joalous, was a well known man about town in Now York. Drayton had been married to Miss Astor thirteen yoars when their troublos becamo publlo in 1893. In March of that yearthero was a prospect of a duol botween Drayton and Uorrowo. Tho latter followed Dray' ton to this country from Franco, and Hor- rowo accepted Drayton s challoryro to light. But because Drayton was said to havo ac cepted monoy from tlio Astors to support tho children, whom lie kept with him, Borrowo'a French seconds decided ho should not light tbo injured husband. Finally a duel was fought, but It was Fox, Drayton's second in tho negotiations for a uuol, and not Drayton himself, who pre sented himself as a target for iiorrowo. Fox did get a bullet through his coat tall that was all,- though. Religious Riot nt Scrnnton. SCRANTON, Pa., March 24.

Tho question as to whether Justices of tho 1'eaco Toomey, Shoemaker, Dcngler, Will lams, lllcrsteiu, Walker, Uynkowic. ami Ilallcy, of town, and nlno people claiming similar cilices in Mahanoy City, aro entitled to commissions as Justices and can legally transact business as such is now drawn down to a point upou which tho matter will soon be definitely settled. yesterday afternoon Lawyer Olmsted, who represouts Justices M. J. Lawlor and John J. Cardin, of town, and Justices Jones ami Coylo, of Mahanoy City, who claim commis sions as Justices of the Peace of tho rcspeotlvo boroughs, appeared beforo Judges simonton and Mcl'hcrson, at Harrisburg.and presented petitions for quo warranto against seventeen Justices who claim to hold ollicc in tills town and Mahanoy City as Justices of tlio Peaco of their respective wards. Tlio suits aro brought In tho namo of tlio Commonwealth by permission of AUoriioy-Goneral Me- Cormlck. Tlio papers submitted set forth that eacli of tlio boroughs is entitled to two Justices of tho Peace, to bo elected by tho concurrent votes of all the wards, but that tho practice has becu to elect two Justices in each ward, making twenty in tlio two boroughs ; that at tho recent spring election two Justices wero elected in eacli borough by tho voters of all tho wards, to take oillco on May 1st ; that, in tho meantime, in ordor to 1111 the vacancies, the Governor has commissioned tho four Justices presenting tho petition to servo until tho 1st of May ; and that tbo proceedings aro instituted to oust seventeen uf tho twenty Justices who still insist upon holding office. Judgo Simonton awarded a writ of quo warranto in each case, returning April (Itli, and fixed April 8th for arguments. It is tho hopo of tlio petitioners to push tlio caso to a conclusion in April, so that if their position Is sustained tlioy can apply for their G-year commissions on May 1st. Ono of the old Justices said to-day, Well, they aro hiking us far enough away from homo to settle tho matter, but when the proper timo comes wo will bo on deck and present our case. Wo ore as confident as ever that our position is right and that tho claims of the others aro ridiculous and shall fight them to tlio Supreme Court, if neces sary." Tho proceedings do not in anyway affect the power of any of tho Justices against whom they aro directed and who hold com missions. Their authority is not cut oil" un til a judgment of ouster is actually entered. On tho 30th Inst, the question as to whether tho Justices who have taken tho aggressivo at Harrisburg havo been legally elected will come up beforo tho court at l'uttsvllle. Watsou House Free Lunch.
