WEDDED NINE TIMES TO ONE WOMAN. Providence, June 25.— The divorce records of this term will be enriched by the entry of a very peculiar petition by Mrs Stella Weston, wife of the Rev. Charles Weston, of Wisconsin. The minister will contest the petition. Mrs Weston took preliminary steps this nion.ing by instructing her lawyers to make out her remarkable j story for presentation to court. The woman is 32 years of age aud has been married nine times, all within the space of eight years, Weston being her first and ninth husband. He is also her second, third, fourth, fifth sixth, seventh, and eighth husband, her frequent marriages having been solemnized with the same bridegroom. According j to her statement, Weston is a rnarri- ] age maniac, ever seeking to be married but never insisting upon a new bride. Owing to this matrimonial mania, Mrs Weston says her married life has been one long and harrowing honeymoon. They were first married at the little town of Millbrook in Wisconsin, according to the form of the Methodist Church. Europe was selected for the honeymoon tour, and while in Dublin he told her he thought their marriage was not ecclesiastically perfect, because the parson who united them had not been or dained by apostolic imposition of hands, and he made arrangements for another marriage in St. Patrick's Cathedral of Dublin. She thought him over-scrupulous, but consented. He found a flaw in this marriage, and was married again in Dublin, and then by a Presbyterian on the steamer. Marriages by Baptists, jUnitarians, Swedenborgians, and Spiritualists, then followed, and then a year ago his wife got weary and left him.
