RELAPSE.

1t was reported last evening that be-
cause of imp adence in getting about too
soon Carroll Patterson, who is at Superb
visor Thomas Campbell;s, had suffered
something of relapse, but he is not con-
sidered dangerously i'll.
Edward was somewhat respondent yes
terday afternoon and was apprehensive
that he was not so well as previously, but
it is hoped that his apprehensions were
without foundation.
The others, including Mrs. Patterson, are
doing splendidly and complete recovery is
confidently anticipated.
In connection with the foregoing it may
be stated that prominent Baptist divine
of Iowa has agreed to see that the pulpit
of the First Baptist church in this city
shall be supplied for three months and
that Mrs. Patterson shall receive the salary
for that period, at the rate paid her de-
ceased husband.

the store to make some purchases. He
had barely left his horses when they be-

point just north of and parallel with the

his horse and phaeton and was talking
with friend when the runaways struck

A WOMAN WITH A HISTORY.

Mrs. Sarah c. 1lbey was recently ar
raigned before Justice Bergen, in Brook
Ign, on charge of false pretenses preferred
by Theodore B, Thorpe, of the Auson1a
clock company. Thorpe alleged that
he met Mrs. Tilbey few days ago in the
street. She asked him the time and he
pulled out two watches. Seeing him so
well supplied with time-pieces she asked
him to lend her one. He did so; but when
he subsequently asked for its return, she
admitted that she had pawned it for $50.
Mrs. Tilbey denied this, and exhibited the
watch in court, claiming that she had pur-
chased it of Thorpe. Justice Bergen held
her, however, in $500 bail. Mrs. Tilbey
has a remarkable history. 1t is alleged
that when only thirteen she married VIM.
