Morton on the 9ih of Mny was mutunlly admitted. While ho hnd ad- mitted tho mariiego, bio wauted to withdraw tho sdinigsion, unlesa tho oppoaiug counsol would ad- it the same, Tho Court saw no objaction to Mr. Swott with- drawing his admission, and the withdrawal wos granted. Mr. Fullor askied time for consultation with 1l colleagues upon tho point in question, and the ongo was postponed until 2 o'clocls, Tho Court reassombled at 2 o'locis, when Mr, Fuller said tho contestants would not admit of tho marriago.

I bavelivedin thecity eighteen years, and have been intimatoly acquainted with My Walker during that time. I was hiis agont for eight yoara. He hnd been growlng wonker during the threo years preceding his death, 1o was always a drinking mau, but did not drink a8 much just before lus doath us ho had of earlior years, Irogarded bim & hord drinker.

PHILADELPHIAS, Thoso two clubs played tho fifth gamb of tholr champlonship series yesterdny aftornoon, on thie Uweniy-third street grounds, and, contrary to goneral oxpectation, it rosulted in tho dofeat of the Whites by s scoro of 6 to 3.

Thore wera between 2,000 and 8,000 people on tho ground, tho attendance bolng much largor than tho threatening condition of tho woather warrautod. M. MoLoan, of Phila- dolphis, was tho umpiro, and gave botter satis- faction than evor befora, Tho toss was won by tho Whites, for a wonder, and they sent thoir opponcuts to Dat; of courso. The first two strikers wore Egglor anda Holdaworth, each of whom made safo bits, A passed ball by Maulosio gave them u bage moro than they were ontitlod to, but no run wad scored, ns the next threo strikers wore disposed of on fouls Ml‘d fiys without auy trouble, Malono, Glenn, and Treacy doiug tho work, The Wiutes went out in quiclk auccession, Oraver and Fulmer betug vory active and acournto 1o tho field. Fho recond inning was very poorly played by tho Whites, and un- doubtedly loat thom tho gamo., Rudeliffe was the first ewrikor, and ho' balted to Fores. The ball was well picked up, but thrown to fst so low thut tho rinner got to eccond, Through an ciror of Pators' the next giriker renched tirst, and Rudeliflo wont on to thlrd, whenco ho camo home on Fulmer's low 1ly, which was mufied by Cuthbort, Auckmean- while got to third, and scored on Cumum*ngs’ ily to Hines, which was taken. Dggler was pub out, and_oldsworth followed bim with » safe hit, which bronght Fulwer in, "hosido was then retited, with throe nnesrned rune, six men having been to bat when the first threo sbould bavo beon put out on oney bits, Notwithatand- ing orrors by Hicke aud Iloldsworth, tho Whitea wero got rid of ns In the fust jnning, the hits being hard but not eafe. The third- inniug was noticonblo for nothing except o safe hit by Potere, which wna the first for Chicago, 'Tho Temaiuder of the batting was oxtremely weak, sud conscquontly tho iuulnfi resulted in o blank on both uificu. fiummr olub got o mnb on first Laeo in the fourth ibning, The ovly fiolding. feat worthy of notico was a foul fly catch by Dalone, which' was taken ns tho ball was abous dropping into tho grand etand, Tho Phila- delphing’ went out ono after suother iu the fifth tnuing, tho balls unot _ going outside of tho loficld. The Whitos thon scored an earned run on s two- baso hit by Treacy, that bas never beon oxcelled on the grouud, and o anfe Lit by Petors. 'Tho sixth inning yielded the visting club_nothing, one, two, thres being (ho order 1 which thoy went out. On the eide of tho Whites, Malon mado o sfo Lit, but he way subsoquently forced out, and the other two suiferod a natural death. Two additional blanka were rocorded in the sov- enth inning, s the natural rosult of wenk strik- ing. Intho eighth inning mifls by Cuthbert and Gieon alloved two mon to get on buases, but, notwithstanding this, tho sido wont out without a run, Zettleln, Forco, and Malone doing somo sharp fiolding, ' The Whites addod anvthor to thoir scoro in their half of the inning, and earned it, too. Glonn was thie lucky man. ~ Ho started off with a two-base hit of tno fair-foul ordar, and reached home while the threo sncceoding strikorn were boing put out. Lhe last inning de- voloped some remarkable batting on the purt of tho Philadeiphius, York was the firet striker, and ho mado_ s eafe bit. Radeliffe an Jack followed him with o two-base it each, and Fulmer and Cummings eamo after them with clean baee hits. ‘I'he cunsoquence of ull this was that throo ecarned runs woro made, and, ns tho Whites were wlutowashed for the eighth timo, the game was won by the Philadel- phiss by 6 to 2, Nothing remaiva to ho snid, except l{u\h noarly every playor iu both nines bandled the bat ss if thoy neyer struck at n ball before. Tho fielding, though nccurate enough in tho main, wat not remarkable, in view of tha exceodingly wonk batting, and the sudi- ence looked upon the &mo 88 being listlessly plnyed throughout, and a very unintoresting aliuir.
