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. In It tho chaucollor
says that It is Impossible to oscapo tho con
viction that Mr. Drayton's suspicions of
his wife's Infidelity were not destitute of
foundation In questionable circumstances
at loast, but, the chaucollor continues,
there Is no decision holding that a bus-
MIIS. J, COLEMAN DKAYTON.
band may with impunity bo guilty of do
eertlou of his wlfo merely becnuso of sus
picion of hor infldollty. 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.

Decided Step Taken to Oust the Ward
Justices.
THE WRITS ISSUED YESTERDAY.
Issued at tho Instance of Those Who Claim
Election as Borough Justices of the
Peace in Shenandoah and Mahanoy
City To be Argued on April 8th.
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.
