ANmeer of NM‘WAIK Cises Among the
Decisions.
Judge Curtis of thecourt of commJn
Pleas handed down a large number of
decisions yesterday, covering cases that
have been tried for weeks past. One
of considerable importance was that of
thecase of Aaron 'G. Sherwood against ?
Sarah N. Alby, judgment is given for
the defendant to recover her costs.
The parties "in this case were much
married, Mr. Sherwood having taken
lawful wives four or'five times. One
of those was the defendant, who her-
self had been a bride so often it was no
novelty. She lived with=Mr. Sherwood
and his first wife, who was a near
relative of hers. The parties were
divorced. Sarah Alby, upon learning
that Mr. Sherwood contemplated dis-
missing her household,
brought suit to recover her services.
A settlement was made between
them, Mr. Sherwood conveying to her
one half interest in certain property in
Cranbury Plains. About the same time
Mr. Sherwood proposed marriage to
her and she blushingly accepted.
After they dwelt in harmony some
time and there was no longer peace in

In the case of Annie R. Quirk against

plaintiff was given judgment to recover

The defendant is given judgment to

fered on Saturday by Mr. Davis, Re-
publican of Minnesota, providing that

ate. '
Mr. Jones, Democrat of Arkansas,
made the point of no quorum, and the
roll was called. Forty senators re-
sponded, five less than a. quorum. Mr.
Lindsay, Democrat of Kentucky, said
that there were -many- senators absent
who .had voted for the canlv,hour of
meeting, and he moved that the ser-
_,.geant-at-arms be directed to request
the- attendance of such senators. The
motion was modified to the usual Sen-
ate formula. and adopted.
At 11.15 five more senators appeared
and the resolution of Mr. Davis was
agreed to without division.
Consideration of the Hawaiian an.
nexation’ resolutions was resumed, Mr.
Clay, Democrat of Georgia, addressing
the Senate in opposition to them.
The annexation of Hawaii would, Mr.
,Clay insisted, start this country upon
a. career :of conquest, Which ‘was op—
posed to the true destiny of the United
States. He claimed that to make the
present war an excuse for the adoption
of a colonization policy would be 3. vi-
olation of the declarations made in the
Cuban resolutions, and would involve
the country in tremendOus difficulties
and possible ruin. He declared that
the United States had no business to
capture the Philippine Islands, as the
war had not been begun for any such
purpose. ,

the Yankee.
The latter also reports that the Span-

the gunboat was greatly damaged by
the Yankee’s shots.
Monitors Not Damaged.

big double turreted monitors Puritan
and Miantonomoh had been struck and
seriously injured by spanish shells off
Havana. Inquiry at the navy depart-
ment, backed by a few anxious mes-
sages from friends of the people aboard
developed the fact that both of these
monitors are at Key West, where they
new: been at anchor for some time
past. The officials know of no recent
firing .upon American blockadlng, ves-
sels from the .Morro’ or other forts-at
