A Recovered Husband.

A peculiar story of marital vicissi-
tudes was told yesterday in the report
of an examiner in a divorce suit filed in
the Court of Common Pleas. The libel
liant is a well-known business man,
with a grown-up family. The woman
from whom he now seeks to be sepa-
rated he was divorced from before about
three years ago. The circumstances at
tending his re-marriage are taken as
ground why the marriage should be dis
solved, or, rather, declared void. After
the first divorce had been granted the
libellant paid attentions to a woman
who was living apart from her husband,
but had not been separated by judicial
decree. Her husband was ferociously
Jealous of her. The divorced woman
was aware of this fact, and determined
to use it against the man she had called
husband, for she, on her part, was jeal-
Gus of the second woman, and had an
ever-haunting fear that the easy divorce
laws of Pennsylvania would suggest
some means by which the two could be-
come man and wife. So she followed
the pair increasingly. At last she got
her former spouse into the corner
toward which she had been pushing
him.
Now" she said, 81 have got you =
"Well, what are you going TO do
about itP'' asked the ex-husband, sui
lenly.
Il am going to tell that woman's hus-
band"
"Well?''
You know his temper. You know
that he win kill you on sight. There
is only one way to get out of danger. ="
'.HowP''
'sBy re-marrying me. /"
The Iibellant declares that being in
mortal fear he consented to the ar
rangement. The wedding took place
almost Immediately. The man claims
the marriage was not his voluntary act,
hut was procured by duress, and he
asks that IL be declared null and Of no
effect The suit was not opposed

SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
Texas Crops.

w. w. Ross, in his crop report to the
Department of Agriculture at Washington
for August 1, says: Corn, once so promis-
ing, has been injured some by the drought;
especially was this so with the later plant
ing; it is late, and with US this is always
unfavorable. The earlier planted is fair
crop, and considered an average, while the
later planting is cut off at least one-half;
yet there will be plenty made to supply all
home demands, as the acreage is large.
Wheat is good average-from
twelve to twenty-seven bushels per acre;
fine and plump grain. Oats is good; some
is threshing as much as eighty bushels per
acre; the grain is well filed and heavy.
Native hay pasture is good. Irish potatoes
very good; sweet not so good-needing
rain. Sorghum about on an average.
Apples and peaches are not good. Grapes
very fine. Cotton, the yield is small; the
early plant is well fruited with boIls and
forms and is now blossoming near the top
and needing rain. The later planted has
but little fruit; it is growing and has done
finely. The crop is at least ten or fifteen
days late, with ten or fifteen per cent. less
acreage. No boil worms to do any harm
are reported vet.
