DETROIT, Sept 26-The recorders court
yesterday afternoon swarmed with women
There were old and young women, blondes
and brunettes, LONELY and comedy women.
They formed a small contingent of the dupes
who once thought they were lawful wives Of
James W. Brown, who is reported to have
been married thirty-seven times since
1878 Brown, supported by an Off
Gel on either side, came in pal
sled and decrepit. He looked neither
to the front nor to the rear Of him,
stunning the eyes of the women. few
minutes later another female contingent
arrived, followed by several persons in cleri-
cal garb and sorrowful mien, who had each
performed marriage ceremonies in which
Brown had figured as bridegroom. There
were by actual count just nineteen women
and five preachers present who were, or had
been personally and directly interested in
Brown Then the trial began, the specific
charge against Brown being that Of unlaw-
fully marrying Mary Benjamin on the 18th
day of August, 1887, at Detroit, while he yet
had another wife living The evidence was
convincing, and Brown was speedily found
guilty He will be sentenced in day or

Bulls in Wheat Having Everything Their
Own Way-The Advance in Price.
CHICAGO, Sept 26-The advance in wheat
is the sui ject that occupies the attention Of
board Of trade people here, and the fact that
cash wheat reached 81 last week called at
tention to the other fact that such price
has not been quoted for several years. The
bulls are confident, and seem to have good
reason. Yesterday December sold up to
973sc. The market at Duluth was reported
strong and nervous yesterday, No hard,
cash going to Sill, September closing at
81 IL, and December at 81 lo14, rise during
the day of X cents. September wheat sold
here yesterday at the close for s OF, rise
of cent from the opening. All this points
to an inevitable rise in the price of -four,
something that interests everybody.

There were two motions pending, one to rule
out certain accounts and books offered by
the prosecution, and the other to dismiss the
case for want of evidence to establish guilt.
The judge did not pass upon the first mo-
ton, as he found that the testimony wholly
failed to establish a case Of grand larceny,
which was one OF the counts of the indict-
ment, and also that it was not sufficient to
make out case Of embezzlement An ap-
peal will be taken by the prosecution.
