An Incorporate Ne er.D0-Well Sells His
Spouse to = Wealthy Farmer.
OCEAN GROVE. N. j., July 4.-Ell.s Thomp-
son, wealthy farmer living about mile
from here, has purchased a wife and two
children, and is now living with them in q
new house, handsomely furnished. Kate
Carson. Red Bank girl, was years ago
sought after by Thompson. then 40 years
old, and young man ma med Hiram Satter-
lee. Satterlee won the girl and married
her. They lived. until a week ago, in q
little house along the railroad near Deaf
Lake.
Satterlee was employed on the New York
and Long Branch Railroad, but intemper-
ance has ruined him and he has given but
scanty help to his family litely. Thomp-
son saw how poor the family was and how
the woman he loved was being ill.used by
her husband. His sympathies went out to
the injured wife and he longed to take her
to the house he was building on his farm.
At length he had a happy inspiration. He
would buy Mrs. Satterlee. When he
broached the subject to her she received
the proposition with fewer scru.'es than
he had expected. She appreciated his soii-
citude and, If she could not return his al.
lection, her gra titude would 60 long way
toward it.
The question now arose as to whether
the husband would make reasonable bar
gain. Mr.. Thompson went to the house
and broached the subject. Sattsr!ee
thought at first it was joke, but when he
saw Thompson was in earnest he became
serious and finally offered to sell his wife
and children for 5000. Mr.. Thompson put
down the cash at once. That night Satter-
lee left for New York and the woman and
are now living with Thompson in
comfort and happiness.

By the tragic death of King Louis II.
who drowned himself in Sternberg Lake,
Prince Otto has been proclaimed King.
King Otto has enjoyed the honors gener.
ally conceded to a Prince. but for years
past he has been hopeleesly insa.e, being
much worse than Ludwig ever was, al
though his true condition was not gener-
ally known to the mass OF Bavarians. The
excessive care with which the unhappy
Prince has been guarded was rendered
necessary by an unfortunate occasion on
Corpus Christi Day in 1875. The Arch.
bishop was officiating in the Cathedral at
Munich, when the Prince, who had eluded
the vigilance of his keepers, rushed through
the crowd, and placing himself in the choir
Eegan to address the assembly in a loud
voice. By his garbled speech and inco-
herent mutterings his true mental condi.
tlon at once became apparent. Since then
he has been carefully guarded and will
probably not even now be brought from
his retirement to undergo the mockery of
a coronation. Prince Luitpold will con-
tinue to rule as regent, but in the name OF
Otto |. instead OF Ludwig II.
