Eliza, or Betsy, Bowen after.
wards Madam JumeI and the second
Mrs. Burr-was b1rn, Il is said, in
Providence, about the year l775.
Her mother was a prostitute, and the
daughter seems to have followed, for
a time at least, the same profession.
She was for several years a servant in
the family of Major Reuben B4lIOu,
and while there gave birth-Oct 9,
l794-tO George Washington Bowen,
the plaintiff in the suit now pending.
BallOu was supposed to be the father
of the child, and took no pains to re-
lieve himself from the burden of the
unWelcOme honor. Soon after arriy-
ing at the dignity of maternity, Betsy
left Providence and went to parts uL-
known, leaving the child i'm charge Of
Ballou. Several years later she re-
turned, bringing with her the body of
a sea captain; whom it il IOught she
had been living with during the in
terval. The deceased mariner Was
duly deposited in the earth, and his
widow or mistress fingered about the
city for some time, and then went to
New York, where, by means never
she managed 10 marry
Stephen Jumel, wealthy French
This was in 1904. In
Ioij the Jumels went abroad and liv-
ed in great splendOr in Paris until
1922, when they returned to New
York, somewhat poorer than when
they left, but still rich enough for all
purposes. A story is cur
rent that Madam Jumel attempted to
deliver a lecture in Providence on the
French Court, bat being threatened
by a mob, was compelled to abandon
her supTemely impudent undertaking.
Jumel himself died in 1892, and the
next year Burr, aged IS, married

in a very short time she instituted

the divorce was never legally con-
but the parties ceased 70

the last two years of Burr's life. Mad
anne Jumel died July l3, 1865, and the
battle for her goods, ehattels, and real
estate has been going on ever since

mington, and large DELEGATION of gentle
men from New Castle will be here next
week on the same mission. If they can
answer the arguments for removal ad-
vanced last night by Senator Bayard and
the legal gentlemen who accompanied
him here, they will have performed some
Il ing that at present seems impossible of
Accomplishment. As | said before 10 this
| correspondence during the present week,
Wilmington should now be up and doing
and send petitions signed by thousands in
support of her claim.
Let these petitions be signed by live
men, and the practice of conscrlptlng
grave wards (Which, It Is alleged, has been
IN vogue during this session, 10 some
extent) be dlscountenaneed. Those wi o
thi"k this MEASURE will 20 through the
Legislature without opposition, i assure y,
are mis- aiken. Both Messrs. Clark anu
Ferris, of the Now Castle delegation,
Oppose 1t, and the former left for his home
to day for no other purpose, 1t is alleged,
than rallying the opposition In his neigh
borhood.
Mr.. Marls' bill providing for removal
was read once to-day. II is very carefully
drawn, and provides for commissioners to
superintend the construction of the new
buildings, should the bill pass. These
commissioners to receive no compensa-
ton, and are prohibited from contracting
for any OF the materials to be used in con-
structing the buildings.
Railroad projects are far more numerous
than ever before; and l fully recognize
the extent of this assertion. Numerous
railroad Incorporation acts are now before
the Legislature. Some of these projected
lines commence nowhere and end at the
same place. Others are air lines, and will
be able to run through space by the time
they are completed, so distant Is that day.
Others commence at a designated point,
and touch at almost every town, for pas
sengers and freight, In the county through
which they run. Perhaps not more than
one of these railroads will be built In fifty
years but If all those that are to run
through Sussex county should ever be
built, there will not be an acre of ground
in all Sussex left for agricultural purposes.
A New Jersey gentleman Mr.. WescOtt,
president Of a recently constructed rail-
road from point on the Morris river
has been in town this week in the interest
Of his road. He is decidedly ofthe opinion
hat he can deliver peaches in the city of
New York, grown on this peninsula, at a
much smaller freightage than is now
charged. He proposes to do this by ship
ping them by way of the Junction and
Breakwater Railroad to Lewes, thence by
bost o his road and then, after reaching
Bridgeton, by road running to Jersey
City. He would like to have more rail-
roads Il Sussex county, though, and thinks
they would be necessary to pay him in try
ing the experiment. Peaches for years
will go to market as they have been going
if he waits for this. W. s. P.
