MRS. HORROCKS Servants Testify to Frequent Affectionate Conduct Between the Two, WENT TO FORTUNETELLER Wife Heard That Her Second Hus-. band Would be Dark, Just Like Mr. Donohugh. In the Court of Common Pleas, No.

1, yes terday, the divorce suit of Charles W. Horrocks began against his wife, Elizabeth. Much testimony of a sensational character, by which the plaintiff hopes to demonstrate the infidelity of the woman he married to her marital vows, was produced. The case will be continued this morning. Mrs.

Horrocks, who Is a remarkably pretty woman, sat near her counsel and not more than six feet distant from her husband. They did not speak to each other and few glances passed between them. Many prom inent people from both Manayunk, where the couple lived, and this city, where they are socially well known, were present. Charles W. Horrocks, the libellant, is the proprietor of a furniture establishment at Green lane and Cresson street, while the eo-respondent the man whom Mr.

Horrocks charges with wrecking his home and alienating his wife's affections is the son of Ex-Delinquent Tax Collector Donohugh and publisher of the Sentinel, a weekly newspaper of Manayunk. The first witness examined yesterday was Wilson Q. Kent, who had, been In Dono-hugh's employ for a number of years. He testified that he had carried messages between Donohugh and Mrs. Horrocks almost daily, and on some occasions two and three times a da v.

Charles W. Denning, another employe of Mr. Donohugh's. gave testimony to the effect that he had frequently seen his employer In the company of Mrs. Horrocks.

"Did you ever see Mrs. Horrocks and the co-respondent aluue in the store';" queried Mr. Shoyer. "Yes, sir," answered the witness. "Did you ever see Donohugh touch her?" "Yes, sir; kind of leaning on her shoulder." The most sensational witness of the day was Mrs.

Maggie Friend, one of the servants. Weird Prophesy. According to her account, Immediately after the death of her mother, Mrs. Noble, Mrs. Horrocks went to Europe with a couple of her children to settle the old lady's estate.

"Now, Maggie," she observed, "If anything happens to Charles, I don't want you to bother sending me word. I won't be able to get back in time, and so, you see, It won't do any good." Mrs. Horrocks knew that something was going to happen because it had been so prophesied. She had visited a fortune teller. "Oh, lady," said the fortune teller, "It's a sad fate that's In store for you now, but there's a happy future to come.

Your mar ried life is not happy, but be comforted. An accident is going to happen to your hus band, and you'll marry again. Your second busband will have large dark eyes and dark hair and a dark moustache." "Mr. Donohugh to perfection," exclaimed Mrs. Horrocks to her servant, when she described her visit to the seeress.

"I'm going to marry him. and it will be a happy life." Mrs. Horrocks. Mrs. Friend explained, entertained Donohugh sometimes In the parlor, sometimes in her bed room.

She fell sick one time, and left word that Donohugh was to be shown up if he called. He did call four times the first day. The servant took him up to the bed room. Mrs. Horrocks was in bed.

Donohugh crossed over to her, and Mrs. Friend discreetly went downstairs. The cross-examination of Mrs. Friend did not help her former mistress very materially. Did you not say Mrs.

Horrocks was sick the only time Donohugh went to her room?" "Oh, no," was the rejoinder, "she often entertained Mr. Donohugh In her bed room. Servant Saw Them Kiss. Mary Scbommer, who was one of the Horrocks servants, was the first to swear positively to demonstrations of affection. "One evening I went to the side porch to get the milk that had been left there.

Mr. Horrocks had just gone out to get shaved. There Is a long glass window opening on the porch, and on the inside chenille curtains hang. As I picked up the inllk I saw Mr. Donohugh and Mrs.

Horrocks standing face to face inside the shelter of the curtains. He smoothed his hand downward over the bosom of her dress and then they put both arms around each other and kissed." A number of residents of Shawmont were called, who testified to having seen Donohugh visit Mrs. Horrocks daily at her house in that place.

WEST END TRUST BUILDING (82 Sauth Broad Street) TO 1 Officer Fell Asleep on Vessel and Dreamed He Killed an Intruder, A CURIOUS PRESENTIMENT While He Fancied in His Slumbers That He Was Ejecting Unwelcome Guest His Twin Brother Died.

Apropos the tales told by sailors, probably the most weird was that of the mate of the Dutch bark Burgemelster Jonkheer Colnan, lately In Philadelphia from Java. This fine craft, now in New York, is loading for a return trip to the fur East. Jacob Sprlug-braken is the narrator of the singular story. It was the good fortune of a Times reporter to hear It direct from Springbraken himself while the Burgemelster was lying at a Delaware river wharf. As for the mate he Is as remarkable an Individual as his story.

The Times representative, in quest of news from the Orient in relation to the Burgemeisler's voyage, found the mate alone in the cabin of the latter. Graj When Thirty-Xine Years Old. "I have nothing to say." said the mate In the quaint accent of his native country, "other than to confirm what the eaptniu told you of the scare we gave a British ship around the Horn. I could, however, tell you of an experience of my own which might Interest you If you would care to wait a while." The reporter assured the officer thnt he would desire nothing better, so Spring-bracken began: "You notice thnt my hair is gray, but I am only 39 years old. When I tell you all that happened one awful night on the Scheldt, Just ten years ago, you will under stand why it should be so.

"To begin, although I was so young a man 1 was a captain. rattier was a pros perous ship broker and I was a twin. My brother cared nothing about the sea, but to follow it was my sole aim In life. My brother was gentle and of a delicate constitution. He was decided on to be the successor to the business, while I wes placed at sea before the mast when In my 20th year.

"After six years I secured command of the Franklin Voorhees. She was an old, un- Roa worthy brig, but she was nil my own, and I made ninny happy voyages on her through the waters of Northern Kurope. On the night of which I am about to speak I had Just made port from a prosperous run through the ports of the low countries. The Franklin made the roads of the Scheldt about 10 o'clock at night. I told the crew we would not land thnt night, aud as they were very tired they agreed.

Saw Ilia Home Lighted Up. "As for myself I remained on deck for half an hour later looking toward the shore. The house In which I lived with my father, mother and brother was In plain view from the ship. I looked at It and wondered why It was all llghtel up so long after their usual hour of retiring. For a moment 1 was half-tempted to take a boat aud go on shore.

"But I went down the cabin stairs. Scarcely had I reached my room when my presentiment returned. "1 set a tray of brandy peaches on the table and lit a big stone pipe. "While I smoked I thought of home. I hadn't seen my brother for a year, and I wondered how he would greet me.

It may have been because we were twins, but we were always closer together somehow thaa brothers. Ghost Vtxltor to II' Room. "So thinking, I must have fallen asleep. Suddenly a cold, oppressive chill seemed lo seize my very heart. The ship clock on the wall showed the time 11.50 V.

M. The lamp had burned dim. Then I realized that someone else was in the room. A figure was seated In thnt chair, just as you are now. I couldn't see Ids face distinctly, but his eyes had an expression of mute sadness.

Horror seized me horror Indescribable. "With a violent effort I shook off the hallucination. "frrnsping the pipe, which lay on the floor beside me, 1 struck the intruder a tcrlllc blow on the head. A plaintive groan sounded through the apartment aud tu" spell was over. The moonlight streamed through the stern windows into the cabin and 1 saw that It was empty; but there was a big dent In the floor where the pipe had struck.

The bowl was broken. "I went up on deck and to my surprise saw that our house was still lit up brightly. There seemed much confusion there. Forms could be seen Hitting past the windows anj all was excitement. "Thoroughly alarmed I called the watch and had the boat lowered, lu a Jiffy wo pulled through the moonlit water aud in ten minutes I was knocking at the door of home.

"My mother opened It. She fell on my shoulder and exclaimed between her sobs: 'Oh. Jacob, Hans Is dead. He longed for your coming, but he passed away a few minutes before 12. He knew you were in the bay.

Why didn't you come Ills Brother's Presentment. "And then they told me a strange story. Hans was seized with a suddeu Illness on the morning of that very day. They told him the Frnuleln Voorhees would soon be lu, but he replied that be would never see me again. At half-past 10, the time when I had Imagined I was asleep In the cabin of the brig, he had fallen Into a deep coma.

And then, at 11.50 P. at the very moment when I had brought that cursed pipe down with crushing force on the head of the apparition of my dreams, he suddenly aroused aud crying aloud, 'Oh, my God! Jacob, my he died. "Since then this mild Incident has caused me grief untold. I cannot explain It. I don't even attempt to do so.

I know that my hair began to sbow streaks of silver after that." When the reporter left the Burgemelster Jonkheer Coenan, the mate's head had fallen on his crossed arms and he seemed absorbed In gloomy reflections. 1 Reaching the wharfslde, however, he turned to look again at the stately craft and to hear Sprlngbrocken's order to the boatswain to pipe down the watch. Bowlers' Annual Maetlng. The annual meeting of the Philadelphia Bowlers' League was held last night at the Century Wheelmea's Club House. The officers elected for the ensuing year were: J.

R. Duffleld, Century Wheelmen, president, Adolph Pet.old, Belrose Bowling Club, vice president; Hovendon Smith, Century Wheelmen, secretary; George Snyen, Belmont Cricket Club; George Huber, Thursday Bowling Club, and J. P. Haberraehl, Florists' Bowling Club, schedule committee. The Century Wheelmen's Bowling Club, Belmont Cricket Club, Thursday Bowling Club and Melrose Bowling Club were represented at the meeting and decided to remain In the league another year.

The Houston and Florists' Bowling Clubs were not represented, but as their resignations bad not been handed In, It is expected that they will remain In the league. An effort was made to have the coming series of games bowled with teams of five men, Instead of six as heretofore, but in the absence of the Houston and Florists' Bowling Clubs, the motion was lost. The season will commence about the middle of November, the schedule being arranged so that each team will bowl one game each week, each team bowling two games with each of the other team ovn waters can be drunk at your table as free from pollution as it is when it comes bubbling from the rocky caverns that are buried deep in the earth. It is purity itself. Because it is a wonderfully absorbent water it dissolves the poisonous secretions that have collected in the body.

The Lithia and other valuable medicinal salts which it contains counteract accumulated poisons such as uric and lithic acid, which cause gout, rheumatism and other painful and dangerous disorders. The pleasure it gives to those who drink it is in itself another reason why it should be had always in preference to any other beverage on the table. TOWED SHIP OVER A THOUSAND MILES Britannia Pulls the Havilah to This Port After the Latter Was Disabled. MADE MARITIME RECORD The big sea-going tug Britannia arrived In port yesterday with one of the longest and most difficult tows ever attempted. The hitter was the storm-beaten American brig Havilah, to which the Britannia extended her hawser in the port of Nassau, New Providence, more than 1,000 miles from Philadelphia.

Captain Itlchardson and the Havllnh's crew came with their vessel. Their experience since sailing from ISabln on August 14 for this port has been one almost without a precedent In the annals of the sea. The Havilah was loaded with a full cargo of manganese ore. She encountered rough weather almost from the beginning of her voyage. (In September 32 she was dismasted in a hurricane.

Tried to Snre Salvaeo. After the fallen spars and wreckage had been cut away Captain itlchardson and his crew began the ililllcult task of working tlit'ir battered craft to the nearest port In the Itahninas, under Jury rig. On September ltt the Havilah was spoken in latitude north, longitude west, by the Hritish steamer Athemn, but she declined assistance. Having at heart the Interests of the owners. Captain Richardson wanted to save salvage on the brig and so continued lit herculean struggle unaided.

Misfortunes rarely come singly and the I- or ten days more the devoted crew battled face to face with death. During that, time the pumps were never allowed to rest for a moment. Only the most superhuman effort kept the Havilah afloat. Port was made at Nassau on October 3, In the teeth of a raging gale. For hours no communication could be had with the sinking vessel.

The captain was forced to the desperate extremity of anchoring In the open roadstead. When the gale finally blew off a tug was enabled to take the Havilah to a safer place in the bay. The storm-beaten mariners were promptly removed to the shore and received every attention from the inhabitants of Nassau. Captain Itlchardson advised the owners of the Havilah that she was In bad condition. Her upper spars were gone, head of foremast twisted off, cut-water missing, aad all deck houses and bulwarks shattered to pieces.

She had no sails and could not go to sea. There were no facilities for repair at Nassau. Made Quick Voyage. Finally it was decided to patch her np somehow and resort to the daring plan of towing her to Philadelphia. The owners chartered the Britannia from linker YVhlteley, and she left Baltimore for New Providence tinder command of Captain Dunn on October 7.

When the news was received in Philadel phia that both vessels hud started for this port on October 17 there was no dearth of sea prophets to predict that she would never reach here. It was expected that she would certainly founder, but all these croaking have come to naught. Both Captains Dunn and Richardson report a quick and pleasant voyage. The Hav llah Is now discharging her cargo at Glrard Point. and Sharker Tralnlnar.

Special Telegram to The Times. New York, October 23. Jeffries and Sharkey are now training hard for their battle at Coney Island on November 3. Jeffries now tips the beam at 20B pounds, which Is less than the weight at which he tackled Bob Fltzsininions. The champion feels as strong as he ever did.

but his face is a trifle thin aud drawn. "I eat and sleep well," said Jeffries yesterday. "I have worked hard all day, but still I do not feel any fatigue. I think I am twice as strong than when I met Fltzsininions." Sharkey, who has been lay ing off, resumed his labors to-day. The sailor is taking a lot of outdoor exercise, as his wind needs attention.
