A Young Couple "Who Were Married In llaste Two Years Ago After a Two Weeks' Courtship Are Now Separated liotli Well-known in Freehold. ! Two years and seven months ago, | | says the lla/.letoli Stanihm! , George j i l'etitt, of Highland, ami Miss Ellen Paul, daughter of Charles Paul, of West llazleton, were united in marriage at Freeland after a courtship of only two weeks. This marriage has resulted just as similar ones have where the contract- 1 ing parties have hardly time enough to ; learn each other's name, and now they j are separated, and as far as can be learn ed the fault lies with the husband. Mrs. Petitt who is stopping at the resi dence of her aunt, Mrs. Fetter, 14(> South Church street, llazleton, related j the following story to a N tecember 5," she continued, "when finding that we could no longer agree, 1 made up my mind to leave him, and did so, taking with me my adopted daughter, and came to this city where 1 found shelter with my aunt, Mrs. Fet ter, with whom lam now stopping." "What about Mr. Petitt taking away the child," the reporter asked. "Well," says she, "On Saturday evening between the hours of eight and nine o'clock Mr. Petitt came to the house and asked my aunt for the child. I had just stepped out of the house to see Mrs. Brill, a neighbor. My aunt remonsrated with h m, stating that Tho Girl Was Being Well Fared for and always would, lie finally consent ed to let her remain and left the house. I had come hack in the mean time and hardly entered the house when he again made his appearance and demand ed the child. 1 positively refused to give her up, w hen he grabbed me by the throat, choked me and threw me upon the lloor jumping on me with both knees and holding me there until my sister .Mary picked up the child, who was in her night cloths, and carried her out and placed her in a carriage that was in wait ing. As soon as he released his hold, I | quickly jumped up and made for the noor and wrested the child from my sister and brought her back to the house. "This settled the matter until Sunday morning when my other sister, Mrs. 1 Lugo, put in an appearance and I)c in milled tlie Child. | Mrs. Fetter refused and began to ! straighten up some things in the room, w hen Mrs. Hugo grabbed the child and ran off with her. She stated that she was going to take the child to Lawyer j Kline's office, but instead took it to Highland." Mrs. Fetter immediately repaired to, Squire Laubach's office and secured a warrant charging Mrs. Hugo with kid-, napping. The warrant was placed in | tin- hands of Constable Duser. In the meantime, George Petitt was arrested charged with assault and bat tery committed upon his wife. He was I given a hearing before Squire Laubach. rim wile stated, that providing he would leave her alone and pay cost of suit She Would Not l'rOhCeute II im further. This ho declined to saying he would sooner leave it go to court. He made an effort to secure bail, but upon I finding that he could not secure any, paid the costs. Poor I )irector Monroe stated that in all probability the poor directors would i take the child hack to the poor house, j unless the some settlement could he ar- j rived at by which Mrs. Petitt could keep the child, if she desired to do so. Mrs. Petitt staled to Mr. Monroe that the child had become attached to her and she loved it and was perfectly will-• ing to take and raise her as she agreed ' to do. Nothing has since been heard of the child, and it is stated that Mrs. Pettit will commence suit for divorce in a short time. SlilnjrtcM Coming Around Cupe Horn. An experiment of interest to the shin g-( manufacturers will shortly he made wis -A Crane, of Seattle. An ex -1" nni< nt;il cargo of shingles is to he h'l i • l by \ >-t 1 around Cape Horn to Philadelphia, there to bo distributed to dealers in the New England states. \\ hile the cargo will be almost wholly composed of r. d cedar shingles, some of tlie best grades of lir, spruce and cedar lumber will be sent. Messrs. Lewis & Crane stated that if the shipment proved successful other cargoes would bo sent around the Horn to New York and Philadelphia, making those cities tho Atlantic coast distributing points for Washington lumber and shingles. There is a difference of opinion among lumbermen as to whether a venture of this kind will pay. Many believe that freights, insurance and handling will eat up the profits, others say tlie experi ment, will pay handsomely. It' nothing else is done than to establish a distribut ing center in the far east for Washing ton shingles, the benefit to be derived from an eastern outlet will in time more than make up for any loss.—Paget Sound Lumberman.

We must select two per sons who will act as referees in this ques tion and decide whether or not Dr. O'Con nor is to be the judge." Dr. Burtsell selected Rev. Patrick F. McSweoney, of St. Bridget's church, and Dr. Smith chose Mgr. Doane. These two will meet on Thursday and hear the argu ment against Dr. O'Connor and then re port to Bishop Wigger. If the two referees cannot agree they may choose another and then make a majority report. To obviate all dillicully Dr. Smith sug gested that the matter be tried before Mgr.
