Gated, and came from New York or Jersey
City. She met Bothemly, rich English
man and member of the British Asso-
citation at St. Louis, and arranged with
him to 20 to Texas and start a sheep
rancho. Before they started she got a
deed for his lands in Kansas, valued at

In 1861 man named Dykeman, captain
of canal boat on the Erie canal,
disappeared and was believed by his
family to have drowned in a freshet at
Catassuqus. Instead Of being dead,
however. he proved to be very much
alive. He had gone to California, where
he has since made considerable money.
Hearing recently that his daughter was
alive, he came East and hunted her up.
He found her living at Washington, N. J.
She had married man named Sohuman
and was in poor circumstances. Her
father told her to pick out a house in
Washington that she would like to live
in. She chose house belonging to
Major Gaylord. Her father at once went
to Gaylord, asked his price, and on
learning it was 50, 500, he at once bought
the house. Afterward he bought
adjoining property for $4,000. He bade
his daughter to consider the place her
home. He says he may oonoluds to stay
in Washington and engage in business
there.
David Matthews left Morrisville, N. j.,
on g coasting vessel bound for the Ber-
more was heard from him, he was sup
posed to have fallen victim to yellow
fever. He left wife and two young
children. Last spring Mrs. Matthews
married again, her second husband being
a young Philadelphia mechanic named
Lsiferty, who had found employment in
Morrisville. To the great surprise of
Mrs. Lafferty, her first husband returned
few days ago. He had not died of yell
low fever in the West Indies, but had
gone to Brazil, where, by working in
mine, he had accrued small fortune.
Matthews demanded the surrender OF his
two children, and upon being refused
them threatened to make it warm for
Mrs. Lstferty. He also offered to receive
her again as his wife, but to this propo-
sition she would not listen. Finally a
compromise was made. Matthews takes
the elder child, the younger, which has
never seen its father, remaining with its
mother, while the latter agrees to live
apart from Latferty until Matthews and
his wife shall be legally separated,
Developments show that the shooting
OF johnson l.. Lynch, the Utica lawyer
by T. N. Rowell of Batavia, New York,
for undue familiarity with Rowell' 8
wife, WAS not premeditated but that a
plan had been devised for wreaking
vengeance on the adultersf without
taking his life. William T. Palmer, a
former business partner of Rowell's, had
arranged to get together . few friends,
who should go to Rowell's house late in
the evening, at time when they would
be certain to find Lynch and Mrs. Rowell
retired. Rowell was to quietly enter the
house and await Developments, and
Palmer and his forces were to wait out
side and join in Lynch's punishment.
The story goes that Lynch was to be
stripped of every vestige OF clothing and
be sent into the street in nude state.
His clothing was to bs boxed and sent to
his friends in Utica. This plan was mis-
carried through the impatience of Rowell,
who shot Lynch before the rest Of the
party reached the house.
The heirs of the Wilmer estate have
