A Sensational story.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Sept. GA
divorce case which was heard in Judge
O Rourk's cour, developed a rather
sensational story. 1t seems that the
defendant, Mrs. Elizabeth Becker, de-
libera,ely sold herself for a money
consideration to Michael Becker, who
to-day was granted divorce. As
part of the evidence there was intro
duced the following remarkable agree
ment:
This agreement, made this Goth
day of March, 1888, by and between
Michael Becker and Elizabeth Nick,
wi,nesseth that Michael Becker agrees
to marry Elizabeth Nick on the follow
ing conditions: That Michael Becker
agrees to pay the sum OF $1,000 now
due on property owned by Elizabeth
Nick, and secured by mortgage on
said property, and said Elizabeth Nick
agrees to convey the above property
to SAID Michael Becker and Elizabeth
Nick jointly, and said Michael Becker
agrees by agreement, in case he shall
outlve Elizabeth Nick, to only have a
hte.interest in said estate, and after
his death said lot shall be divided
among the children OF Elizabeth Nick;
Elizabeth Nick agrees to ask for a
diverse from Joseph Nick, and after
the same is granted she agrees to
marry Michael Becker on the above
conditions. MICHAEL BECKER,
ELIZABETH Nick.
1t will be seen by the above docu-
ment and the subsequent proceedings
that Elizabeth is somewhat of hustler
She signed the foregoing paper on the
Goth of March. Ten days later she
applied for divorce from Joseph Nick
which was granted on the 18th Of
May. On the 22d of May she was
married to Michael Becker, and to-day
she was again divorced. The decree
divorcing her from Nick forbade her
marrying within period Of two years,
but little thing like that made no
difference to her. and she married four
days later. Michael is IS years and
Elizabeth about SO years of age.

ACuriOus Bid fora wife.

The unmarried females who attend
ed the State Fair yesterday displayed
an unusual amount of interest in the
building containing the exhibit allotted
to the women's department. Their
eyes were focused upon an EN-.
broidered quilt hanging from the
center of the structure. 1t was not
the handsomest display in the depart
ment, but it possessed attractions
aside from the artistic merits of its
design and execution. Oddly enough,
the quilt is the work of a mans deft
fingers, the name attached to the card
pinned on its border being that of a
good-looklng bachelor, Mr.. ]. H..
Huse, of No. 444S Paul street, Frank
ford. All the women who visited the
department wanted to know something
about Exhibitor Hulse, and they dis.
covered that he was about 80 years of
age, was a gentleman OF comfortable
means, and best of all, that he wanted
to get married. Mr.. Hulse has entered
his quilt for two prizes-an honorable
mention certificate and wife. He
proposes to present the quilt to any
lady OF pleasing appearance and other
qualifications who will marry him, and
that is why his exhibit attracts so much
attention. -Philadelphia Record.

just 106persons assembled at coa'
house hall to listen to what he had I
say and they were rewarded by a
moro interesting, more logical, and
more forciple campaign speech than
has yet been delivered IN this village
this season. His remarks were de.
voted mostly in trying to prove the
proposition that the business pros.
perity of the contry depends upon the
character Of the people and not Upon
the question Of protection or free
trade.
H, effectually explodes tao theory
of Jim Blaine-that protection is the
cause Of higher wages here than in

clusively that it is due to the greater
efficiency Of American working;nen.
lie takes for argument jim HIaine's
position because, lie says. Jim Blaine
is leader of the republican party of
the United States. On the question
of protection and wages he says it is
amazing how men of intelligence can
pretend to be ignorant of the fact
that things may co-exist and yet not
bear the relations of cause and effect;
and he advances sound argument
that protection and high wages in
this country simply co.exist; that one
is not the cause and the other the
effect.
In the course of his speech he gave
the Tribune editor a severe scorching
for publishing recently letter from
DR.. Storrs on the Temperance atti-
tude of the 6. o. p. garbled to suit
republican interests in such Il manner
as to completely destroy its meaning.
