An Alleged Bigamlst.

Social circles in brooklyn are much agi-
tated in regard to the case of w. W. Price,
the millionaire, who is cha. ged with hav-
ing three living wives. The matter is now
in court in the shape of suit for 500, 900
damages, brought against Mr.. Price by the
third wife for his marrying her under false
pretences, he gaining her consent TO the
marriage by alleging that he was bound to
no other woman, and had legal right to
marry her. The argument in the case was
concluded in court Thursday, and the judge
took the papers, reserving his decision.
Mr.. Prices first wife resides in England.
His second and third reside in this country.
Price represented to the third lady that his
first wife was dead, and that he had been
legally divorced from his second partner.
1t is thought that the decision of the court
cannot be other than adverse to Price.

The Late Rev. Truman ScymOur-An
Interesting le eminiscencc.

The Albany Journal of Tuesday evening
has the following in relation to the late
Truman Seymour of Troy
The death of Rev. Truman seymour, an
nounced in your palnr ni l.,,t night, has
brought to mind Il "Reminiscences which may
be of interest to some among your readers.
Between 60 and 70 years ago, IN one of the
primitive dame schools of our ancient CITY,
located near the present Clinton Park, and
presided over by certain Madame Curtin,
were three boys. her special pride, whom
she grouped together, ard with a kind of
prophetic insiinc, called her minister
class" Fulfilling the promise of their
early childhood, foresecn by the DANES
loving prescience, these boys became not
only beloved and useful members, but
standard bearers in their respective
churches. The beloved Bishop Uphold, of
Indiana, who entered into his rest about the
year 1873, was one of them. Our own
honored townsman, the Rev. Mr.. ii. N.
Pohlman, whose genial presence is yet
missed from among us, so lately he passed
away, was another; and the Rev. Truman
Seymour, who has just been SO called
'into the joy of his Lord" was the third.
Madame Curtin lived to receive visit
from her minister class" when in the
prime of their honorable labor they hap
pened to meet in their native city, and
though her eyes were sightess she heard
their voices, and lifted up her hands and
blessed them, bidding them God speed in
the work for which she had toreseen their
fitness

Dipthcria In New York.

DE. Harris, register of vital statistics in
the city of New York, reported at Tues
days meeting of the board of health that
dipthera is on The increase IN that city.
For the week ending Saturday last there
were 1870 cases against 116 for the previous
week. The deaths from the disease for the
week were GO against 81 for the preceding
week Down to Monday from the LIST inst.
there have been 1913 deaths assignablc to
diptheria, or an average of ten day. The
disease prevails to the greatest extent
among the cellars in the Fourth ward, aud
the aspect of affairs show disgracefnl
amount of sanitary neglect.
In one district, which is q perfect nest of
diphtheria, seven cellars were found, con-
tanning forty.two beds, and regularly used
as places of sleeping and lodging. These
had all been closed by the police at The re-
quest of the board, but as the police exer-
else no supervision over such matters unless
specially ordered, the cellars were prompt
ly occupied again for their old purposes,
and are now exercising their former in
flucnce as centers for the propagation of
contagious disease.

Tho Insane Asylum Hill.

Mrs. p. w. Packard of Chicago, who
has taken such an absorbing interest in the
welfare of insane persons and who has
pretty thoroughly looked up the Brattleboro
asylum, writes an open letter to the legis-
lature concerning the bill now in their
hands relating to the inmates of the asylum
in Brattleboro, in which she says that Rev.
Mr.. Jennings, now RESIDENT of Woodbury.,
VT, asserts that while an inmate in Brat
tleboro insane asylum he had an iron ring
inserted in the back of his neck, by means
of which lie was chained down in his dun
geon or cell, and that he will carry to the
day of his death ocular proof of this fact,
the ineffacable scar now to be seen upon
the back of his neck where the iron ring
was inserted ! Continuing, she appeals to
DIR. Boynton, representative from Wood
stock, persistent opposer of the bill in
question, and the rest of the legislature to
do to others as they would be done by.

Judge Poland Corrected.

The Washington Eoening Star says:
"Judge Poland Is reported as saying
that there is no law of libel in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The Judge is mistaken.
The libel law of Maryland came to the Dis
trict with the other laws of Maryland, as
they stood in 1901. 1t was so stiff law In
fact that congress some years ago modified
it to the extent of allowing the truth to be
shown in justification"

We have often heard OF the "blue
laws of Connecticut, and until recently
we had supposed such code was once
enacted in that State; but Il certain Absa
lom Peters, ID. d. OF New York, now
comes to the front and says they are q
myth. lie also goes on TO tell how the
good people OF Connecticut came TO be
credited with having enacted such absurd
statutes.
During the war Tor independence it is
we'll known tha. large number OF
persons scattered through the country
were iayorably disposed towards the King
and were biltor enemies to the American
cause. 10 the colony OF New Haven and
Connecticut was notorious Tory named
Hugh Peters, who perSisting in his course
OF opposition to the popular cause was
driven out of the colony; literally kicked
out. lie Immediately went TO England,
and while there he wrote volume cnti
tied The Blue Laws of Connecticut. y
These bogus statutes were palmed off on
the people as real. genuine enacimen:s OF
the colony OF Connecticut, though they
were intended as mere burlesque, and
were so understood by most people at that
time. After while. when the growth Of
the country had multiplied political and
religious institutions, when the true
records and memorials of the early days
had passed away, The buresque volume
OF Hugh Peters was brought ont and
republiShod rs the carly laws Of the
colony. One OF these laws provided that
= certain number oil lashcS should be
bestowed on any man who should kiss
his wife, or intended wife, on tie Sabbath,
when the tact WAS that grca, par, OF The
counting in those good old times, was
done on Sunday. and it world be strange
if kissing was not part Of that important
business ~ that lime. rs it doubtless is
now.
This DR.. Peters who comes TO the rescue
o; the Pilgrim Fathers is iinoal descend
ant of Hugh Peters, The real author Of
the Connecticut blue laws, and claims to
have good authority for what he states,
and wo have no doubt he gives Us the
facts OF the case. -NaUie Farmer.
