WASHINGTON, September l9, PM
The area of low barometer, which On
Monday afternoon was on Lake Michi-
gan, after moving eastward to Lake
Ontario has today extended over New
England, and the pressure ha, fallen
quite rapidly on the middle Atlantic
coast. 1t is also quite low in the
Southern and Gulf States, and has risen
during the day from Lake Erie north
and west. Threatening weather has
prevailed from New England to the
Gulf. To-day rain has been reported
only at few Southern stations. The
clearing weather OF last night on the
upper lakes, is again followed by cloudy
and threatening weather. Fresh south
erly winds are reported from New York
to Virginia, and brisk northerly winds
from Missouri to upper Michigan.
Probabilities barometer will
probably again fall in the Northwest,
and an area of high barometer move
from Mississippi eastward, followed by
low pressure and threatening weather.
The brisk winds on Lake Michigan
will probably move eastward to lakes
Huron and Erie tonight, and the con-
ditious remain favorable for rain on
Wednesday on the South Atlantic and
Cult coasts. Probably cloudy and
clearing weather in the Middle and
Eastern States, with light rains on the
coasts in the morning.

Grist, her husband, had lived together
very unhappily and had constantly

they had a violent fall out, and the
noise OF their scufiling was heard by
some Of the employees on the farm, who
were in the barn. Soon after the hus'
band issued from the house and called
for help, saying that his wife had
scalded herself, and she was dying.
When the employees entered the kitchen
they found Mrs. Grist lying on the
floor, almost dead Her face, head and
neck were frightfully scalded by boiling
coffee Her appearance suggested that
some hot liquid had been poured down
her throat. Circumstances point very
strongly to Grist as having assaulted
his wife, and inflicted these injuries
upon her, although he protested that
her condition was the result Of an accl
dent. Grist was taken into custody,
and soon after his wife died

continues its ravages throughout the
country, and is reported to be spread
ing rapidly. At Konigsberg the dis
ease is especially virulent, with the
death rate increasing daily, the total
number of fatal cases during the past
week reaching upwards of three hun
dred. In other localities where the
disease has made its appearance, the
rates of death though not so large as at
konigsberg, has been such as to cause
the greatest alarm among the inhabi-
tants, and many families are removing
from the affected districts.

ALLEGED Confidence Man Arrested.
ST. LOUIS, September IA man
calling himself J. C. Whitemore was
arrested here yesterday on suspicion OF
being a confidence man or forger. He
brought letter of introduction to ex-
Mayor Cole, purportiug to be from E.
D. Morgan & Co., Of New York, on
which Mr.. Cole gave him letter to D.
Shouse, cashier of the Mercantile Bank,
Kansas City; but afterwards, becoming
suspicious that all was not right, had
him arrested. The Morgan d Co. let
ter was found to be a forgery, and other
letters found on him, among them one
styling him financial agent of the New
Orleans, Mobile and Texas railroad,
signed J. A. Raymond, President
which was also evidently forged. He
also had a certificate Of deposit on the
Central National Bank Of New York,
and small draft on the Lucas Bank
of St. Louis, which. it is suspected. he
procured to obtain the signatures OF the
cashiers. 1t is thought be may have
something to do with recent bank swim
dies in Indiana and other places East,
and that he designed to operate at
Kansas City and other points West.

THIRTY YEARS A RECLUsE.
Remark able Case-A Lady Dies Aiter
Thirty Years Confinement In Her


In Kingston, Luzerne county, on the
9Th inst, there were committed to the
earth the remains Of Mrs. Cynthia
Jones, wife Of Reuben Jones, Justice
of the Peace. The indisposition OF Mrs.
Jones dates as far back as 1889, and
seems to have arisen mainly from ex-
treme sensitiyeness Of mental dlsposi-
ton, which only needed the death of a
promising daughter 10 give decided
character and furnish food to a natural
imbecility. This event only occurred in
1910, and Mrs. Jones has been q re-
cluse since that time, spending her life
in the memory and associations OF
her child. At times there would come
back to her part OF her youthful viva
city, while at others she would sink
into deathlke state, her speech de-
serting her. Her voice, in early life
finely toned, became hoarse and dis
cordant from long months of absolute
silence and entire seclusion.
Mrs. Jones was woman Of superior
education, was gifted with q fine men,
orv, and was well read Few visitors
troubled her, and many grownu up peo-
pie living in the neighborhood never
saw her face. None knew the extent
or nature OF her disease, although sew
eral practical physicians attended her
through a series of years. She had
been three times in the street in 1910,
and then only for a few minutes. In
1868, when the great freshet swept
through the valley, she had to be re-
moved and carried across the street to
higher level; but for the last eighteen
years, with the exception OF this IN
stance, she has never crossed the thresh-
old. A day or two before her death she
asked her husband about father, and
seemed to suffer on account Of his alb
sence. This, perhaps, may illustrate
the nature of her disease and the bias
of her life, her father being dead for
thirty-three years. Nodoubt she shared
his company every day; she had no
affinity with the world The loneliness
of her life, fostered 10y a morbid and
atfectonate disposition, soured her
heart against its companionship, and,
as if abandoning all com fort, she
sought her deathbed ami surrounded
herself with its silence and solitude for
thirty years.
