New York.

A strange and pitiful story has just
come to light through the filing of cer-
tain papers in the offices of the town
clerks of VVestport and Fairfield. These
papers record a history of domestic in-
felicity seldom equalled. They are
writs of attachment made in two suits
brought by Abbie Jane Barnes against
her husband, John Barlow, for divorce
and alimony and against his sister,
Hannah Baker. The latter suit alleges
alienation of the affections of the hus—
band and Carries‘claims for damages to
the amount of $10,000.

Thirty years ago John Barlow court-
ed and won Abbie Jane Barnes. They
were both the children of New Eng-
land farmers and inherited all the
thrift and enterprise of their ra .
They were reared in the northern part
of the town of VVestport, and after they
were married, they managed by careful
attention to their business of farming
to save enough money to buy a small
place of their own.

About the same time that Miss
Barnes became Mrs. Barlow, John’s
sister Hannah was married to George
Baker. The marriage did not prove a
happy one and Baker left his wife after
a short and stormy matrimonial career.
Mrs. Baker went to live with her
brother John and has been a member
of his household ever since.

Four children were born to the Bar-
lows, three girls and one boy. Two of
the three girls are married and have
homes of their own and it is due to this
circumstance that the developments
came about which resulted in the separ-
ation of the parents. As time wenton
the sister assumed much of the respon-
sibility of the household and handled
most of the cash. All of the parties
were thrifty and the wife attributed
the confidence between her husband
and his sister to fraternal affection.
The family prospered and money was
laid by every year. Barlow bought
more land and raised large crops.

At times when Mrs. Barlow was away
with the products of the farm, the
daughters noticed many things which
they considered out of the way. The
father it is said threatened them with
the direst kind of punishment if they
dared to tell their mother of what they
saw. Two years ago, after the oldest
daughter was married she told her
mother what she had seen and there
was an immediate separation. There
was a fierce quarrel which ended in the
wife being driven from the house. La-
ter the husband made an attempt to in-
duce his wife to return home. He
promised to send his sister away and
do his duty as a husband and father.

Mrs. Barlow returned to the house

and matters went along in the old rut'

for a period. Barlow had evidently
forgotten his promises to his wife for
the sister- still remained a member of
the household and did as she wished
in every way. The state of affairs con-
tinued until Mrs. Barlow couldbear
them no longer and she reminded her

hOuse and has never since returned.

. Under the advice of her lawyers Mrs.

Barlow brought suit for divorce, with i 11 t' f ,a a te el 1' b
. . . ' n - o .' .
alimony, agamst her husband namlng .. a ega “ms 0 n ec l n argam

his sister as co-respondent. She also
brought suit against her sister-in-
law, claiming damages to the amount
of. $10,000 for alienation of the effec-

 

tions of her husband. The papers in
the case were served by Deputy Sheriff
Wallace M. Bulkley, of Fairheld,, who
was unable to find any property in the
name of her husband._

Mr. Barlow had given his sister a
mortgage of $1,500 on the estate and
also other mortgages on his other prop-

erty amounting to nearly $3,000. Sev- .

eral hundred dollars which had been
on deposit in the savings bank had
been transferred to Mrs. Baker.

After the service of the papers in the
case Barlow made overtures for a set-
tlement with his wife and the with-
drawal of the suits, but it was not until
a few days ago that the affair was
finally adjusted to the satisfaction of
all the parties concerned. By the
terms of this statement, Mrs. Barlow
withdraws both of her suits and accepts
$3,000 in full for all claims upon Mr.
Barlow and his sister. ’ This amount is
estimated to be about half of his ac-
cumilations Mrs. Barlow now ~lives
with her daughter in VVestport and
Mr. Barlow lives with his sister on the
farm.

~ HOTEL FOR THE POOR.

lumber One Formally Opened in
New York Yesterday.

New York, Oct. 28.—When Mills
Horse No. 1, at Thompson and Bleeck-
er streets, was opened yesterday after-
noon oue of the most practical uses to
which money can be put was inaugu-
rated. It is a hotel and not a charity.

The hotel was opened at 4 o’clock.
Bishop Potter delivered a prayer, after
which Mr. Mills made a. short speech
outlining his plan in erecting the build-
ing. Many guests had been invited to
attend the opening ceremonies. Among
them Were Chauncey M. Depew and
Abram S. Hewitt.

Mills House has 1,500'10dg1ng rooms,
besides spacious reading and lounging
rooms and pleasant courts. Twenty
cents a night is the rate per room.
Bathrooms, washrooms and laundries
where men may wash their own clothes
have also been provided for. There

are restaurant accommodations, with

meals a la cartc from 10 cents up.

Each lodger will have a. separate
room—small, it is true, but well venti-
lated by one or more windows and pro-
vided with every comfort. The build-
ing is 100 feet square and ten stories
high, with two courtyards, each fifty
feet square. Elevators are also pro-
vided. Heat and light are furnished
by electricity.

 

ANOTHER soov FOUND.

The List of Wreck Victims Increased
to Twenty—Coroner’s Inquest.

New York, Oct. 27,—Another victim

 

has been added to the list of dead in,

the great railroad disaster on the New
York Central Railroad at Garrison's.
The body of a man was taken from
the day coach, in which most of the
deaths occurred. The coach was raised
late yesterday afternoon.

The body is that of a. man apparent-
ly 35 years of age. It was found near
the rear of the coach, face down. The
man was of'dark complexion, about
five feet ten inches in height. He had
black curly hair and a black mustache.
He was dressed in an outing shirt
of gray and a coat and vest of blue.

The body was crushed, the' end of
the car in which he lay being badly
wrecked. Under the body was found
a lifesize crayon in a. gilt frame. The
glass on the picture was not broken.

The engine was taken out from the
river, pilbt‘fi'rst, at 3.15 o’clock yester-
day afternoon. Among the spectators
was Mr. Depew. He had been in-
formed of the hour when “the engine

would be raised, and he was there .to.

inspect it.

W'hen the engine was out of the
water the body of the fireman, John
Q. Tompkins, was found tightly
wedged between two masses of iron in
front. The body wasvdisfigured, but
not his face, which fact would seem
to indicate that he had been forward
on his engine, looking after the head-
light or oiling some part of the ma.-
chinery when the disaster came. The
theory that he was in the cab with.
the engineer and was hurled through
its window forward is combated by
the lack of any wound upon the upper
portions of his body or of his head.

It is now certain that the number of
those killed in the wreck is twenty.

The investigation to fix the responsi-
bility for the Central Railroad horror
will begin to-night at 7 o’clock.

The Coroner says he will not leave a.
stone unturned to fix the responsibil-
ity, and if he and the jury find that
the railroad company is to blame Dis-
trict Attorney James Bennett South-
ard, of Putnam County, will lay the
matter before the Grand Jury and de-
mand the indictment of the company’s
officials, including the president.

HANGED 'sv HIS FRIENDS.
Unknowingly They Helped Their Com-
panion to Commit. Suicide.

At Ballarat a. ruined gold' miner
once committed suicide in a. dramatic
manner.
rush a certain deserted claim was for
years held sacred, and the tools
strewn about the Windlass were left
to rust away untouched. A party of
’varsi-ty men, old schoolfellows and of
gentle birth, had sunk their shaft there
and worked without success until their
money was spent. One evening one of
:hem at work at the bottom of the
shaft shouted, “Haul up, boys, the time
is come at last.” They hauled up,’ and
when it came to the top they found
their comrade’s lifeless body hanging
from the chain. He had detached the
bucket, tied a noose about his neck,
fastened the noose to the chain and
was hanged by his dearest friends.
The party had been much liked and
respected by the other miners, who
would readily have subscribed 1,000
ounces of gold dust to give them a.
fresh start, but ere the dawn of the
next day the whole party had disap-
peared, leaving their claim in the same
state as-it lay at the time of the trag-
edy.—Weekly Telegraph.

A CURIOUS SUPERSTITION.

Underwriters Dislike to Insure a Vessel
When Her Name Ends with “a."

Marine insurance underwriters al-
ways fight shy of vessels whose names
end in “a.” This has become espe-
cially true, since the total loss, with
all on board, of the steamer City of
Philadelphia, about a. year ago. The
City of Philadelphia left New York
for San Francisco and went down, with
all hands, off the Falkland Isl-
ands. A ship with the final “a" is
looked uponpretty generally as a. hoo-
doo. The most serious wrecks of the
last year have been of vessels carrying
the hoodoo letter. One day the tele-
graph announced that the British ship
Androsa, from San Francisco to Liv-
erpool, was lost with a ‘very valuable
cargo. The next day word Was re—
ceived that the Orealla, bound from
Victoria for Liverpool, had been swept
by heavy seas and badly damaged. Her
mate and one sailor were drowned.

The wires told on the same day of
the total loss of the British ship Villan-
ta and the drowning of her master,
near Freemantle, and a few days later
the papers gave the news of the loss
of the steamer Wallapa and of the
beaching of the Dora. During the last
two or three years the most serious
wrecks on the coast were of vessels
whose names ended with the hoodoo
letter. Besides the wreck of the City
of Philadelphia, the wreck of the Col-
ima was the most horrifying of all.
Then came the loss of the steamer Co—
lumbia, and a few weeks later the pas-
senger steamer Umatilla ran ashore
and narrowly escaped destruction.—

TWINS OF THE SHERMAN HOME.

Adopted by the \Vife of the Secretary 1:.-
State—1111c Is Living.

As most of us know, Mr. and Mrs.
Sherman were childless. A time came
when, after much consideration and
thought, they decided LO adopt a. child
and heir. Mrs. Sherman requested
some of her intimate friends to assist
in the search of a desirable infant, one
honestly born, and without parents
to follow on afterward and embarrass.
A friend in New York subsequently
telegraphed her to come at once and
take ther choice of two beautiful
bies. There was great excitement in
the Sherman home pending Mrs. Sher-
man's trip to New York after the baby.
On the next day she telegraphed her
husband: “Will be home this after-
noon. Send carriage to the depot.”
The carriage went and the senator re—
mained at home, walking the floor.
looking at his watch, watching each
carriage as it came in sight. The train
was a little late. He was becoming
nervously anxious.

Finally the carriage hove in sight;
he marched out to meet it at the curb,
threw open the door. There was Mrs.
Sherman and a nurse, each stepping
out with a baby in arms. Such an ex-
pression as came over that stern Sher-
man face was never seen. before. It
could not be described. He was at a
loss for words for a minute or two and
finally was able to stammer: “Wife,
what does this mean?” She replied:
“Husband, they were so pretty and so
much alike that I could not make a
choice, and so I selected both.” They
were twin girl babies. For the next
few days it was a. show to watch Mr.
Sherman as he enjoyed and caressed
the newcomers. One of the twins
sickened and died within a few weeks,
and the other is now his daughter,
Mrs. McCullom. —Chicago Inter-Ocean.

THE CHAMPION IN FRUGALITY.

Hopkins Had to Acknowledge He Had
Diet His Superior in Economy.

Guy, the founder of Guy’s hospital
in London, was as parsimonious in
private life as he was munificent in
public. A good story illustrative of this
is told of him in connection with John
Hopkins, one of his contemporaries,
who was nicknamed Vulture Hopkins
on account of his rapacious mode of ac-
quiring his immense wealth. On one
occasion he paid a visit'to Guy, who,
on Hopkins entering the room, light—
ed a farthing candle. Hopkins, on
being asked the reason of his visit,
said: “I have been told that you, sir,
are better versed in the prudent and
necessary art of saving than any man
living, and I therefore wait on you for
a lesson in frugality.
regarded myself as an adept in this
matter, but I am told you excel me.”
“Oh,” replied Guy, “if that is all you
came to talk about, we can discuss the
matter in the dark,” and thereupon he
blew out the candle. Struck with this
example of economy, Hopkins ac-
knowledged that he had met his supe-
rior in thrift—Medical Record.

PATENT PAD FOR SNORERS. I

Invented by a Carpenter Who Warrants
It to Stop Any Rip-Saw Sound.

S. Anderson, a. carpenter and build-
er living in Chicago, has constructed
an apparatus for the prevention and
cure of snoring which can hush the
trumpeting of the loudest snorer that
ever disturbed a neighborhood, to a
sound as soft as a. baby’s breath. If
the device, which has just been pat-
enied, is til-Iris is "(iiu‘zfed to be it
could be applied to the tli ~at Of a fog
horn- and a sound like the F ‘10 °
$5,000-a-night, grand opera prima ‘
na would come out of it.

Mr. Anderson’s invention is not so
much the result of his skill as a car-
penter mthat he has snored all his
life himself. After trying for nearly
fifty years to cure himself of the hab-
it, and applying all remedies, from
gargllng his throat with salt and water
before going to bed, to eating a slice
of the wedding cake of a. woman who
had married the seventh son of a sev-
enth son, all without the slightest ef-
fect, Mr. Anderson hit upon the device
which he has just had patented.

The gag which 'he has constructed
and which, it is said, will work won-
ders in that particular branch of
music, is not as large as a croquet ball,
as some people might think it would
have to be to be effective. It is a
small pad which rests in the mouth
and is kept from being swallowed by a
strap. It is said this will not interfere
with the slumbers of the snorer, while,
at the same time, it will keep the snor-
er from interfering with the slumbers
of others.

Mr. Anderson's invention has not
been completed long, but already a
good many afflicted people have called
at his house to look it over with a view
to making presents to their friends.
Some objections have been raised be-
cause it cannot be» administered in a.
cup of coffee unknown to the snorer,
but nearly everyone who has seen 'it
has pronounced it a success. The de-
vice is to be manufactured in several
sizes to suit the taste and capacity of
the wearer. It is practically inde-
structible, and one of them may be
Lianded down from father to son, or to
daughter, if snoring exists on that side .

fond of tobacco smoke, and can be
made to do almost anything under its
influence.

"rely more on tobacco smoke for their
control over these huge beasts than
anything else. When traveling on
long journeys the dromedaries are in

and day without rest, and the beasts
