EVA AND RAY HAMILTON.
Of the Marriage for Fraud
to be Demanded.

TO De OGmapCsd.
New YORK, October 2.-Mr. Samuel
B. Clarke, Robert Ray Hamilton's law
yer, got back to New York Yesterday,
after an absence of several days, and
for the first time saw the newspaper ac-
counts of Hamilton's last meeting with
Evangeline. Mr.. Clarke said that the
published accounts of the interview
were essentially wrong. Mr.. Clarke
was not present at the interview in per-
son, but Mr.. Kunzmann, a partner of
Root & Clarke, was Mr. Kunsmann
took notes of the whole interview. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Clarke this is what
occurred:
There was no kissing or affectionate
embrace when Mr.. Hamilton entered the
attic room in the third story Of Sheriff
Johnson's house Mr.. and Mrs. Hamil-
ton greeted each other formally. There
was distant bow, and nothing beyond
that.
Mr.. Hamilton, according to Mr..
Clarke, granted the interview simply
because he had received five letters from
his wife begging that he should give her
a chance to clear herself from accusa-
tions made 6y his friends that she dc.
clared had been made in accordance
with conspiracy against her. Mrs.
Hamilton began her plea by stating that
she was really the mother of the baby
Beatrice. She said, however, on ques-
ticning, that she knew that Mrs. Swim
ton was negotiating for the disposal of a
baby about the time she was confined.
Mr. Hamilton took the statement in
credulously and questioned the alleged
mother about the time and place of her
confinement. On these points Mrs.
Hamilton did not seem to be very GER
tain and would not fix either the date
or place of birth.
Then, instead of being favorably i'm
pressed by the statements made by his
wife, according to Mr. Clarke, Mr.. Ham
ilton became more and more satisfied
that her whole story was founded upon
falsehood Mrs. Hamilton not only tied
herself W in the stoE7of her mother
hood, but made other statements that
left Mr.. Hamilton, at the close of the
interview, more satisfied than ever that
he had been outrageously tricked. At
the time he gave no sign of his disbelief
in her story, but left her as pleasantly
and as formally as he met her.
That Mr.. Hamilton is entirely done
with Mrs. Hamilton there is no 6ouht
in Mr.. Clarke's mind, and that gentle
man says emphaticaly:
"The result of the interview between
Mr.. Hamilton and his wife need cause
no uneasiness to Mr.. Hamilton's friends.
There was no reconciliation, and he
repudiates her in toto. AS his lawyers,
We are instructed to procure an annul-
ment of the marriage, which was ef-
fected by fraud and Misrepresentation.
She pretended to be the mother of the
baby Beatrice, and alleged that he was
the father of the child. That alleged
fact has been proven false. Mr. Kunz-
mann, my partner, WAS present at the
interview, and the statements made by
Mrs. Hamilton are contradictory and
not borne out by the facts. Mr.. Hamil-
ton wants divorce and seeks no recon
ciliation."

GIRL PEDESTRIANS EXCITED.
One Of Them, Clothed in Bright 3 cd
freed by Cross Bull.

~S~~
The Pedestrian Club, composed en-
tirely of young ladies living in the
Western part Of this city, started on
their first fall tramp yesterday morning.
The proposed trip of the club was to a
friends house on the New Castle road
about thcee miles from this city. TIE
chaperon claimed that by walking down
the Hare's Corner road about half a
mile and then across lot the club would
lessen their walk nearly a mile. The
Hare's Corner proposition met the ap-
proval of the majority, and the tramp
to the goal proceeded.
They we're not long in reaching the
field that was to be crossed in order to
shorten the walk, and no time was lost
in climbing the fence No. / field was
crossed without the least obstacle, aud
all were delighted. Then came No. 3
field. Over the feuce the gaudily clad
damsels went. The last to mount the
fence was a sprightly miss, clad in a
crimson flannel dress and a large red
hat profusely trimmed with violets.
This blithe little miss claimed to be the
long-distsnce walker Of the club. She
had barely gotten over the fence of
field No. 2 when an immense bull,
which had been taking in all
the maneuyres of the fair ones with
attention, came from the rear of hay
stack and started in pursuit Of the one
in red. The miss saw her predicament at
once, and, being much in the rear of her
companions, began to run. She kept up
lively pace around the field twice, and
at many times the bull was at her heels.
After making a third circuit of the
field, Miss Red became weak from ex-
baustion and cried for help. Her speed
Stacked and the bull advanced at every
leap.
Miss Red espied small pear tree in a
corner of the field, where her sister
members stood by, urging her to come
on. On reaching the tree there stood a
small ladder. She mounted, but the
ladder fell. Then the air was filled with
the piteous shrekS of the other mem
bers, who stood on the outside of the
fence. Mss Red was equal to the
emergency, ana Win great presence OF
mind she raised the ladder and fastened
it to small limb Of the tree and vic
toriouSly climbed to stout limb, and
there looked on the bull with disdain.
A young man who was passing on
side road, hearing the sbrieks of the
fair ones, came to their rescue Hitch
ing his team to a tree, with whip in
hand he approached the bull and with
much difficulty succeeded in making the
animal retreat. Miss Red showered
thanks upon her rescuer and begged
him to retire to an adjoining cornfeld
while she would descend from her peril
Gus position. The young man promptly
obeyed, and Miss Red in descending fell
to the ground and received several in
jurles, from which she had to be con.
veyed to her home by the young man,
with the consent of other members of
the club.-Wilmington (Dez.) NeuS.

Sells Bis Cotton.
ATLANTA, September 30.-The ma
tional committee of the Farmers Alll-
sanee met to-day and adopted the follow
ing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas the Association Of American
Cotton Exchanges met in New Orleans
on the 18th, and in conjunction with
various commissioners of agriculture and
representatives of the farmers interests,
did recommend that cotton be sold by
net weight as a solution of the tare
question; and whereas, information now
received shows that said action has not
received the approval of a sufficient
number of Cotton Exchanges, and to
enable the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change to carry it out, commencing on
the time agreed upon, to wit, October /,
1889; and whereas, the action taken by
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange in
favor of assisting the farmers to get
paid for the eight pounds more cotton
that each cotton-wrapped bale contains
than the jute-covered, is highly appre-
ciated, but for said Exchange to contend
Eisz6lus> in spite of the fact that
many leading e1c6s deserted,
is especially commendable and will be
co-operated in by the interests we repre-
sent, and whereas, the justice and
equity of the farmers claim on the tare
question is based on one fact, which
stands boldly and undisputed and in
disputable, that every cotton-wrapped
bale actually contains eight pounds
more of lint cotton than it would if
covered with jute:
Therefore, it is hereby resolved, That
the action had by the Shreveport Cot
ton Exchange be adopted in the present
emergency, and every farmer is hereby
instructed, when offering for sale cot
ton wrapped in cotton bagging, to de-
mand payment for eight pounds more
of cotton than the actual gross weight
of such bale.
Resozced, That this action is intended
to- supersede and take the place of
the previous action and instructions
in regard to the tare question. In no
case shall bale of cotton be sold sub
jeet to dock of sixteen pounds for
cotton bagging or twenty-four pounds
for jute bagging as agreed upon in New
Orleans, unless the cotton be sold at
Aaf a cent per pound in advance OF
the current price at that time and
place.
= Further instructions will be given the
order by the National Cotton Committee
on the 26th Of October. through the
President Of each County Alliance,
Wheel or Union at their County sites,
where the president of each primary alli-
ance, Wheel or Union will meet them to
receive the same.

Truth and Sincerity.

These are simple words but full of
meaning. They are the stamp of
character and can make golden each
little word and action. What a
weary world this would be if these
two elements were banished from it.
The pleasures of society would be ut
terly destroyed and mankind would
seek the desert for peace and content
ment. On the contrary, where truth
and sincerity are the governing prIn-
ciple society, is lovely and attract
i've. A society thus governed, may
be compared to a fountain of living
waters sending forth healthful
streams, where the weary traveller
may rest and refresh himself. The
fire ola glowing Imagination may
make Jolly look pleasing, and lend q
beauty to objects which have none
in them. But nothing can shine
with undiminished luster but truth
and sincerity. Sincere words and
actions. the unguestionable indica-
tions of sense and a correct taste,
exonerate their happy possessors
from the whole of that toilsome load
which the enslaved and feeble minds
of artificial character constantly sus-
tain. Honor and honesty, truth and
sincerity, are the foundation stones
of q real character. Sincere words
and actions have power to heal the
broken heart, and soothe earth's sor-
rows. 1t is the unaffected interest in
another's welfare that renders one
blessing to community.
The spirit of kindness, u sincere
wish to make others happy, refines
and makes lovely the whole being.
Then how essential it is that one
should ever strive to be true and
genuine to have every expression
made use of, standing for something.
One may be ever so gifted and ac-
complished, they may be admired
for wit and intelligence, butnever can
they hold the power OF affection and
respect if these most important ele-
ments be lacking in their characters,
and they will fall short of filing the
place their God assigned for them.

Found a CORPSE Through /. Dream.

Belief in dreams has received new ad-
herents in Lincoln county, owing TO
some strange circumstances attending
the finding Of the body of Elbridge
Call. For three or four days three or
four hundred people have been diligent-
ly securing the woods and examining
the ponds in that vicinity, when a
brother-in-law of the missing man, in
whose care Calls motherless child had
been left, dreamed that he had found
the body of Call drowned under a
bridge. After telling his wife and
others of his dream he started to follow
down creek not far from his farm,
over which his dream had located o

sought his intimate friend and brother
in-law, Bowman Myers and they both
