Hartford, May 2. With the bridal party approaching the chancel and the church filled with fashionable people, the Rev. Dr. James J. Goodwin, of Christ Episcopal church, refused to perform the ceremony and dismissed the guests because In reading the marriage license he found the bridegroom had been divorced ten years previously.

The wedding was to have been that of A. Lincoln Chase, manager of one of the largest department stores here, and Miss Gladys A. G. Geer, daughter of one of the oldest residents of Hartford and prominent socially. Mr.

Chase and Miss Geer had started up the center aisle when, suddenly, at the rector's call, the party stopped within a few feot of the chancel rail. After a hurried consultation. Mr. Chase and Miss Geer, much embarrassed, turned and hurried out of the church. Advancing to the altar.

Dr. Goodwin said: "Friends, the Wedding has been postponed." This was all the explanation he made. Later Dr. Goodwin said: "The laws of the Episcopal Church forbid me to marry a divorced person. I did not know the circumstances until I read the license while I was in the church ready to perform the ceremony.

I am very, very sorry to have caused the party any embarrassment, but I could not act otherwise." Miss Geer and Mr. Chase, after leaving the church, were driven to the home of the Rev. H. H. Kelsey and were married.

Found In Bitch Was That of Martin Gross. JEWELER ON' SHELBY STREET. FINANCIAL. BEVEBSES HAD DE-' HANGED HIS HIND. WANDERED FROM HIS HOME.

The body pi the man who was found in a ditch on Thomas Gilbert's farm, Ave miles from the city on the Ash Bottom road, was Identified yesterday morning as that of Martin Gross, Jeweler of 1841 Shelby street. His mind had been deranged for more than a year and he had exhibited symptoms of insanity for the two weeks before he disappeared. Gross was last seen at his home at 5 o'clock last Thursday afternoon. He remained out all night and his family became alarmed over his prolonged absence, knowing that he was not in his right mind. They refrained, however, from notifying the police to avoid the publicity incident to his disappearance.

The last seen of him was at Logan street and the railroad track at 4:30 o'clock the following morning. He was then seen by Alex. Goss, a neighbor, and was carrying his coat In his arms and his hat In his hand. Mr. Goss, however, did not know that ho was being sought by his family.

The body was discovered in a ditch by Mr. Gilbert late Friday evening. Dr. Kelly, Coroner, viewed the remains and had them taken to the morgue. Gross' jewelry store and residence adjoins Goss saloon at Shelby and Oak streets, and Mr.

Goss read ah account In the papers yesterday morning that the body of an unknown man had been found and immediately connected It with the disappearance of Gross. He had notified the police Friday night of Gross' disappearance, but it failed to occur to any of the police that the body of the unknown man was Gross, although the descriptions tallied exactly. Mr. Goss' suspicions were confirmed yesterday morning when Mrs. Gross saw the body at the morgue and Identified It as her husband's.

The body was then taken to the undertaking establishment of Boden Bros. Gross had worried over financial reverses until he became extremely absent-minded, and finally, two or three weeks ago, his mind became completely deranged. Ho had never worked at anything except In his little Jewelry Bhop, which at best was never able to provide even a fairly good living to himself and family, which consisted his wife, and five children. The returns from the Jewelry store for the past year grew smaller, until he was practically without a business. He tried In vain to eecurr employment In some Jewelry shop anc was finally reduced to.

seek any klndVof employment, but was never able to litfd it. He leaves his family, it is said, in poor clrcum-J stances. Mrs. Gross said yesterday afternoon: "About a year ago Mr. Gross got lost on the streets and stayed out half the night.

He explained that he was Just walking about the streets until he suddenly came to himself and did not know where he was. He frequently had long spells of absent-mindedness in which it seemed that he failed to realize anything that was going on. Ho left the house about 2 o'clock last Thursday afternoon and returned two hours later. I asked him If ho had been to town, and he said, 'No, I was Just walking around aimlessly and suddenly found myself on He then left the house to go down In town. That was about 5 o'clock.

He was going to look for a position In a Junk dealer's shop, but I suppose the shop was closed and he was disheartened. I stayed up all night looking for him to return, and finally had Mr. Goss notify the police of his disappearance." The neighbors say that for the past two weeks he had been acting strangely.

CHANGE IN' SYSTEM NEEDED. Lengthy Hepoxt KCakes Kecommenda-. tions For Better Care of Insane Patients. IK THE OTHKR INSTITUTIONS. The April grand jury made its final report yesterday to Judge Caruth and adjourned sine die.

It Is an unusually lengthy document of its kind, and is mainly taken up with discussing the conditions prevailing at Lakeland Asylum and the recent investigation of alleged cruelty to patients by. attendants. Tlhe grand jury finds fault with the present'system of supervision of wards, and gives that as the underlying cause for the alleged cruelty. The report in full is as follows: To His Honor, Asher G. Caruth, Judge of the Jefferson County, Circuit Court, Criminal Division: Your grand jury for April begs to report its actions, investigations and recommendations as follows, Formed and organized April 6, have met eighteen times, heard evidence In fifty-seven cases, returned fifty indictments and dismissed seven cases.

Of these cases there came from the Poiico Court a largo number, not a few of which In our judgment should have been tried out and settled In said court. Much of our time has been devoted to examining the conditions of the Central Kentucky Asylum for the Insane and investigating reports of acts of misconduct of employes of this institution. Our observation and inquiry revealed many things commendable and, we regret to say. a number of occurrences which call for strong reproval. Tho various members of this body on their three visits wero well received and accorded willing and amplo assistance by the superintendent and his corps of assistants.

Management of Asylum. Our inquiries as to management of tho asylum duties -of those in control, the manner in which tho safety, comforts and welfare of the patients Is attained develop the following facts to-wlt: The buildings devoted to and occupied by the patients are six In number, are divided' into thirty-four wards, nineteen male, fourteen femalo and one vacant. Number of patients now about thirteen hundred. Each of these wards Is In cliargo of three attendants, two on day and ono on night duty. One supervisor has chnrgc of the attendants in the male wards one supervisor has charge of thos? in the female wards.

It Is the duty of the attendants to report all occurrences In their wards to tho supervisor, who visits each ward three times dally. There are three physicians, two male and one female, to whom the supervisor and su-pcrvlsoress are required to report and the threo physicians In turn report to the superintendent The; possibilities of this system, briefly stated, ore: One or both attendants And it necessary to correct or restrain a patient severely or otherwise. The report to tho supervisor, if mode at all, is given in a way to shield the informer and mitigate what might bo an offense. The supervisor next reports or not. as he seos proper, to his supervisor, tho physician, who in turn may or may not report to his superior, tho superintendent.

Por example, tako three fllterers, connect them, pour foul, slimy water into the first filter; result. It comes out of the third clear and pure "nothing In it." Vital Defects. Some of the cases of cruelty found by the convmlsslon and by this jury wero unknown io ihe superintendent, never having been reported to him, showing serious lack of discipline. "We consider this the vital defect in the system now prevailing: a sure remedy is dlfllcult to find. Our observation that the supervisor and sunervlsoress, who have duties besides visLtdng tho words and hearing reports, need assistance, and we suggest the employment of two male and ono femnlo, making In all live, supervisors; that the work be equally divided and that they each alternate each month and that they shall be held strictly responsible for everything occurring in the Wnrd at tho time In their charge.

Wo further recommend an Increase In the pay of tho attendants, which Is now $20 to $25 per month, with beard, the same as ft has beon for many years, and a sum too low to attract skillful or competent parsons for the service required. 3Tive Indictments. Cases of cruel or Inhuman treatment so far as found by or reported to this jury have had thtorotigli examination. In flvo such cases indictments have resulted; in other cases tho evidence came from witnesses whoso statements had to be considered too unreliable accept or from others whose minds may have been sufficiently sound, but whose past reputation and character were such tfmt their statements were felt to bo mero fabrications, unworthy cf belief. Tho complaints of persons whose homes ore in the vicinity of the asylum of the annoyance to which they are subjected by strolling-bands of Inmates wandering outside of the grounds are in the mala well-founded.

Recent orders have been given all attendants to keep within tho grounds of the asylum, which extend along the lanes to the depot. In this connection It Is our conclusion that tho beautiful lawn south of tho Pusey building should bo improved by making walks, llowcr-heds, erecting a pavilion, to make a more attractive place for iatlents to walk and lounge during fair weather. Tho grounds surrounding tho various buildings are In excellent condition. Tho wards were examples of neatness and cleanliness, tho linen immaculate. The Inmates, both white and colored, were clean, tidy and woll-elothed and seemed reasonably contented.

Tho kitchen was orderly and well arrangod. The dairy, stables and barn were commodious and In good repair. The herd of milch cows was a flno sight to see. We observe In our rounds the mitrked respect paid by the patients to both Superintendent Furnish and Dr. Yeoman.

Libraries are attracting much public attention at this time. It might be proper to say no place on earth needs one more than here. Many patients would greatly enjoy a chance to read and tho good friend who wilt send old books, magazines or illustrated periodicals to this asylum will accomplish more than words can tell. "We noticed that few of the attendants wore uniforms. Wo suggest that all be required to wear their uniforms when ok duty and will further recommend requiring a conspicuous number to be worn back of the left shoulder, enabling a stranger to identify the attendants.

Tho report of this investigation would be incomplete if mention of the valuable assistance and numerous courtesies extended by Mr. Charles F. Taylor- Secretary of the Asylum Commission, was not made mention of. Visits have been made to all the county institutions. At the School of Reform a most satisfactory condition prevails--buildings and grounds well kept, Inmates employed in learning useful well eared for.

Attention is called to absence cf fire escapes, which should be placed In the dormitories. Other Charitable Institutions. Tho jail, City Hospital and Homo for the Aged and Infirm are all well kept, and we have no suggestion to make. At Defendant Objected To Plaintiff's Good Looks. A NEW TRIAL REFUSED.

SALOONKEEPERS INDICTED FOB SELLING LIQTJOB. TO HINOES. F0UR: DIVORCES ARE GRANTED. Members of tho bar attending Joint session yesterday morning were much amused by an opinion which Judge Field handed down in the case of Mrs. Virginia Morey against the American National Bank.

The plaintiff recovered damages to the extent of $500 against the bank and the defendant had moved for a new trial. It was in overruling this motion that Judge Field rendered the decision. In gulng 'the motion the counsel for the defendant said that the handsome appearance of tho plaintiff had tho effect of undiuly prejudicing the members of the Jury in her favor and influencing them to render a verdict for excessive damages. In commenting upon the case, Judge Field said the counsel for tho defendant had devoted ihlmsetf to lauding the oharms of the plaintiff, and In laying stress upon the belief that those charms had influenced the court and Judges, no doubt unconsciously, against the defendant. Erroneous Instructions were also pleaded.

"Now, genitlemen of tho bar," said Judge 'Field, ''what counsel for the do-fcndlam. said about the fair plaintiff Is no more than the sober truth. But It tfe plaintiff possesses Ureso natural advantages they Should not be a handicap to her in this court." Mrs. Morey had sued for $1,000 damages because the bank, it is alleged, had refused to honor a check of hers for $80. She claimed that the refusal had humiliated her and Injured her credit to that extent.

The bank alleged that the money to the plaintiff's credit was due as an offset against certain amounts It had to make good' to W. B. Belknop Co. on checks fraudulently raised by Joseph W. Morey When treasurer of that company.

Spoliation Elea Upheld. In the suit of Levi Tyler against Mary Grady and others, brought by the contractor to enforce the payment of apportionment warrants for grading Payne street from near Pino street to the city workhouse property Judge Miller handed down decision yesterday in which ho held that tho plalntlft could not mako good his claim against tho four property holders sued. In this ho sustains the plea ci the defendants of spoliation. They had maintained that tho amount assessed against each of them, for the Improvement made was greater than the value of their respective lots. In hia opinion Judge Miller "Upon tho first argument In chief I reluctantly intimated that the defense of spoliation had not been sustained, relying principally in that opinion upon Bullitt vs.

Selvage, 20 Ky. 599, a very unsatisfactory opinion, but one of the latest opinions of the Court of Appeals upon tho subject at that time. No Judgment was entered upon that hearing, and i at request: of -counsel. for. defendant the iPOih was ise'down for reargument upon spoliation, and) has again boon heard and carefully considered upon that defense.

"Upon a full reconsideration of tho facts relating to these four lot3, I am satisfied that my former conclusion was wrong, and that tho defense of spoliation must prevail as to them." Sustained Plaintiff's Demurrer. Judge Gordon sustained the plaintiff's demurrer to tho defendant's answer yesterday In tho ease of Henry Schocnlng, assignee of tho Kentucky Mutual Investment Company against If. T. Cooper for $1,000 alleged to bo duo on unpaid stock subscriptions. The defendant claims that ho was induced by falso representations to buy tho stock and that this fraud rendered Invalid tho purchase.

Ho held further that under previous decisions the purchaser of the stock is responsible unless ho is careful to ascertain the standing of the corporation and endeavors to get out before a collapse comes. The liabilities of tho Kentucky Mutual Investment Company amounted to about $50,000, with no assets. Saloonkeepers Indicted. The grand Jury yesterday returned Indictments against J. W.

Flowers, a saloonkeeper, at 344 Third street, for keeping a disorderly house. Indictments, were also brought against Flowers and Lynch Simons, a' saloon and dance hall keeper, at Tenth and Green streets, for selling liquor to a minor. Frank Leonhart Is the minor In question, and the case was culled to tho attention ot tho grand Jurors by his relatives. Besides Leonhart the other witnesses against Flowers are, according to tho Indictment, Jack Scanlon, William Kennedy. John Anderson, Miss Sadie Popo and Charles Schwartzwalder.

Tho witnesses In tho Simons caso aro Jack Scanlon, William Kennedy and Miss Sadie Popo. Eour Divorces Granted. Tho following divorces were granted In Joint session yesterday: Beta Bater from J. T. Baker, cruelty alleged.

Senator Newlands, of Nevada, says that at the coming session of Congress, he intends to push to the uttermost his plan for the annexation of Cuba- He made this statement tlie last thing before starting for his home in the "West. "I shall try," said he, "to have the Island attached to our country, first as a territory, but with the understanding that statehood will follow as scon as the territory is ready for It. Since this is the only ultimate solution of the problem of maintaining Cuban independence with an American, protectorate, we might as well act now, instead of postponing it indefinitely to no useful end. Cuba Is asking now for reciprocity as a means of breaking down a part of the protective tariff walls on both sides of the line.

If she comes Into the United States she will get not only this partial advantage, but the whole thing." Mr. Newlands says that he has not yet determined in just what form ho will offer his scheme. In all probability he will press it as an amendment to the reciprocity treaty. That instrument received the Senate's vote for ratification at the last session, contingent upon the favorable action of Congress as a whole. The necessary resolution will probably go through the House without trouble, under the rules for expediting legislation, but in the Senate there will be freedom for everybody to offer amendments.

President Roosevelt will have an opportunity to give the Federal plum tree a vigorous shaking as soon as he returns from his long Western trip. Two months is a long interim for pracr tically no Government appointments, and the accumulation of vacancies, mostly to be filled by reappointments, will be large. O. O. STEALEY.
