A Little Stranger May Make Its Appear
 Rnce at Trenton Prison.
 MAYS LANDING, N. J., Sept. e6.-A new and surprising turn may take place soon in the much-oomplicated affairs ot Robert Ray Hamilton and his wife, Eva.
 If certain persons have not been mis- informed Mrs. Hamilton acted in haste when she bought baby to force upon Robert Ray Hamilton as her own off spring.
 It would seem from a story now told here that if Mrs. Hamilton had but waited sufficient length of time there would have been no need to go outside of the family for an heir to the Hamil- ton money.
 It is stated by those who have been in communication with Mrs. Hamilton that her time will be taken up now with the making of small frocks, and that MT. Robert Ray Hamilton will soon find that he Is father after all. The little stranger may make its appearance in the prison at Trenton, and as lawful is- sue of MT. Robert Ray Hamilton may play conspicuous part in possible estate litigation.
