Pretty Widow.
NEWARK, N. j., Dec. 2.-Mr. Thomas
Jorelman, 81 years old, a wealthy resident
of Irvington, n. j., claims that he has
been badly duped by pretty little widow
who, on the strength of her promise to be
his wife, obtained money and clothing,
and then Tilted him. The old man met the
widow while driving along the country
road one day early in the autumn. She
was walking and he invited her to ride
with him. She accepted the invitation,
and as they rode along she said that her
name was HONS, and that she was a
widow. He asked her to come and live
with him and look after his house. She
hesitated and then the old man asked her
TO be his wife.
Why the Match Was Broken on.
To this latter proposition she assented
and was duly installed as the prospective
mistress of the Jorelman mansion. Mrs.
HONS also brought her married sister and
the latter's husband to the house. The
day of the wedding was set, and he claims
he furnished the money to pay the dress
maker. "She got all these things besides
q seal skin sacque and $500 in money out
Of me, said Mr.. Jorelman. Mr.. Jorelman
says the reason she gave for breaking off
the match was that her Brooklyn relatives
told her that if she married him they
would not leave her anything.

For Free Wool.

BcsroN, June i6-~A memorial In favor of free wool has been sent to the Senate Finance Committee by the Wool Cousum CTS Association. It starts out with this For the protection of the woollen manu. facturcs of the country and for its rescue from a most hampcred and depressed con dtiou we ask for n great reduction or the total abolition Of tue duty on wool" And it closes thus
 As all the wool grown in the world is now wanted, the American grower could hardl y be injured hy the rcadjustment Of values if at tho worst. this product should fall slightly In price, he would be compen' sgied soon bs the larger and more certain demand from the stimulated and increased manufacture Tho demand for mutton is rapidly increasing and i, is afforded in better quality by sheep which produce iosg wool than by tho breeds producing short, fine wool Tho half bred mutton sheep's wool, in the warp, works admira- bly with the rejected worsted fibres and the Monievideo tieeces in the filling Thus the mutton tiocks would be stimulated through she importation of free raw materials.

Let lo.0sl broken windows, skylights, awnings cut into strips, Towering plants beaten to the ground, hundreds of broken electric light globes, thousands of gas lamp shades, scores of maddened horses dashing wildly through the fnsillade of icy balls, attest the fury of the storm. and the testimony of the United States Signal officers and hundreds of reliable gentlemen will bear witness to the phenomenal size of the icy messehgcrs from tho upper regions.

WAsutSeraS, p. C, June l6 There have been no returns received from St. Louis regarding the census, but reports from some of the enumerating districts arc expected this week The only returns re
 ccived have been from a few of the large cities in the East, but they are incomplete and do not indicate anything upon which satisfactory estimates can be based It is evident however, that the population of some of the larger cities will not reach the proportions which have been calculated. It
 is quite probable that in the case of most the large cities the time for taking the census will be extended Telegrams from various points, among them St Louis, in
 dicate that the time originally fixed has been too short to make the census as com
 plete as IL ought to be, It was stated al the Census Bureau to day that the time for taking the census of any of tho large cities would be extended if application should be made. Supt. Porter desires to have a thorough census Of the large cities as well as of the smaller towns and the country districts. and if any extension Is needed to make the census thorough IL will be grant.
