ST.. LOUIS, July 12.-The first
news that Brooks received this
morning was that the Governor had
simply granted him a respite for Fl
days, This he construed to mean
that the Governor intended to take
time 20 fully examine the case.
| Later Brooks received q telegram
from his attorney announcing a re.

the Governor refused absolutely to
commute his sentence or interfere IN
the matter. This was q sad blow to
Brooks hopes. and be said be could
not understand it. He had felt con-
fdent that the Governor would see
his way clear and grant his appeal
for Communication, but now all hope
was gone and he must prepare fol-
death.
Mrs. Brooks said: 81 confidently
expected a Communication for my son.
The poor boy has wi had q fair

Tweuty.thrce wives Claim James

A startling ease of bigamy, OF
rather polygamy, according to
recent issue of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, has been brought to light,
and which, in the course of a
thorough Investigation, may lead to
highly sensational developments.
An officer from Detroit called upon
Lieutenant Elliott and stated that he
had traced a man to this city who
was badly wanted in Detroit for
bigamy. He presented to the Lieu
tenant a photograph of James b.
Wellington, alias Brown, alias Aid
rich, and said that no less than 70
women claimed to have been mar
ried to him. The officer stated that
the fugitive was married five times
in Detroit. once in Saginaw, once
in Ovid, Mich, once at Port huron,
once at Three Rivers, once at
Kalamazoo, once at Baltimore, once in
Boston aud the last time in Chicago.
Officers Rohan and Kehoe were de-
tailed upon the case and succeeded
in arresting him at 622S Wentworth
Avenue, where he was living with
his latest victim, whose name is Kate
Sattle. He is a mar about 43 years
of age, ) feet 8 inches tall, ston'
built and will weigh about 10
pounds; full dark brown beard, blue
eyes and a prominent nose. To a
reporter for the Inter Ocean the
prisoner stated his right name was
Aldrich, and that he was carpenter
by trade. He also stated that he
had been married but twice, and
that his first wife was dead. He
will be held to await the arrival of
the Detroit authorities,

AFTER MANY YEARS.
A Father Marries His own DauSh.

TER
New YORK, July PA remark
able story, involving the marriage of
a father to his own daughter, was
made public yesterday. The parties
are Polish Hebrews and the mans
name is said to be Isaac Waldorf.
He is a merchant on the east side.
He was married in Germany about
twenty years ago, but after two
months he left his wife and came to
this country. He prospered in
business, married a new wife and
was left a widower a few years ago
with three children.
Last year he met a Hebrew girl in
distress, on Broadway, who had just
landed and had wandered away from
Castle Garden. She said her name
was Mime Sterling, and Waldorf
took her to his home and gave her a
nights lodging. As she showed a
fondness for his children he dis
missed his housekeeper and engaged
her.
A few months later he married her.
She kept in communication with her
mother and recently worte for the
latter to come and visit her. When
the mother arrived she recognized
her daughters husband as the mai
who had married her in his youth
and was the father of her child, now
his wife. Waldorf was in utter
ignorance of the fact that he had o
child in Germany and of the identity
of his wife. He sought counsel OF
the rabbi of his congregation and the
matter was referred to Grand Rabbi
Joseph, who arrived in the country
q few days ago.

Murphy's department of the Criminal
Court of San Francisco for rape. and
vas found guilty as charged. The
offense was committed against his Is
year-old step-daughter, Francis
Drake, and, the guilty wretch kept
up an intercourse with her for a
long time, until her condition was
noticed by the neighbors, who ear
ried the story to the Society for the
Prevention of Vice, which caused
Henderson's arrest. Henderson
went to San Francisco about
a year ago from Reno. The
trial was conducted with closed
doors.
The same fiend was acquitted
by a Reno jury of the crime Of rape
on a 13-year-old white girl. who is
since reported to have given birth

Farm and Garden Notes.

Allow no cobwebs in your stables.
1t is best to avoid ploughing heavy
soils while they are moist.
1t is not good plan to allow cattlo
and swine to run together.
1t is said that sheep in orchards will
destroy the Goblin moth.
The Rural New Yorker advises
against using foreign potatoes for seed,
as its experience with them has not been
satisfactory.
As rule mixed farming pays better
to the ordinary farmer than social crops
Location, however, has much to do
in deciding these questions.
The past year has not been as much
noted for wonderful new butter and
milk records as some of those imme-
diately preceding. The rage for extra
ordinary feats in this line is hardly as
great as it has been.
In laying out your work for the sea-
son give the garden liberal share of
attention. 1t may not be labor which
viii bring great returns in money, but
it is certain to do so in family health
and comfort.
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1888-06-21

practice has been to plough in autumn,
after applying half-dressing of farm
yard manure, to be supplemented with
the chemical fertilizers the ensuing sea-
son. In early spring we apply to each
acre 200 ponds of high grade sulphato
of potash, an equal amount
of plain superphosphate and
100 pounds sulphate of ammonia; har-
row, drag and hand rake until the
ground is very fine, firm and free from
all rubbish that would obstruct the
seed sower or push hoe. We SOW four
pounds per acre of yellow Globe Dan
vcrs onion seed in drills fifteen inches
apart. The demands of tho market
must, however, regulate to some extent
the variety and amount OF seed USED.
The after culture consists IN keeping
the crop free from weeds and thorough
but shallow cultivation, oft repeated,
until the crop is nearly grown. We
usually apply one hundred pounds nj
trate of soda broadcast early in July,
and, if the crop seems to require it, re-
peat the dressing after an interval of a
week or ten days.
During the last half of September the
crop is ready to harvest, when we pull
the onions and allow them to ROMAN Oh
the ground to dry, four or five days be-
fore and rprhaDs as lone after removing
the tops. Then, if the weather has
been favorable, they are in fine condi-
ton TO store or send to market. We
invariably prefer the latter, because it
gives moro time to attend to other farm
work, which always crowds at that sea-
son of the year, and also saves cost Of
storage and resorting, though others pre-
fer another course.
Our losses from smut, plight, or mag
COTS has been quite small, and we regard
the crop as reasonably sure. Still, there
is an occasional shortage which amounts
to twenty, thirty, and sometimes even
fifty per cent. of the crop. 1t comes
alike on the we'll cared for and the
neglected fields in the locality and
sometimes overIa wide extent of country
This result occurs, perhaps, not moro
frequently than once in a decade of
years, and we have not been able to
trace it to any we'll defined cause
