REMARKED BEFORE SHE WAS DIVORCED.
There have been some surprising develop
ments in the recent divorce litigation between
Charles q. Barnum and Annie Or. Barnum IN
Brooklyn and Florida. The couple were
married in Brooklyn on November 10. 1850. IN
the Brooklyn Tabernacle Mrs. Barnum is
daughter of Mr.. John Wood. who has long
been one Of the trustees of the church and
Rev Dr. Tslmages right-hand man in its
management.
bSA separation took place within two years,
and Mrs. Rarnum went TO Florida and in due
time instituted suit for absolute divorce on
the ground of desertion. She did not receive
her decree until July II. 1890 although her
marriage t. Fred. A. Condct in Brooklyn
took place on the 5th of June preceding On
the strength of her second marriage Mr. Bar
NUN brought suit for absolute divorce in the
Supreme Court in Brooklyn. and on July 10th
last the decree was signed by Judge Bartlett.
Mrs. Barnum did not appear to oppose the
granting # decree but her lawyer furnish
ed the court with toe decision Of the Florida
court.
MIR. Barnum now asserts that the records on
file in the Florida court clearly show that his
wife remarked before the decree was granted
that she represented in her compliant that
their marriage had taken place on November
IL 1884 instead of ON November lG 1885. and
that he had never been served with the sum
mons and complaint in the case, although his
place Of business was well known 10 his wife,
lie declared that he knew nothing OF the pro-
ceedngs in the Florida case until the recent
trial OF his own suit in the Brooklyn court.
He does not propose, he says. 90 institute any
prosecution of his divorced wife for blgamy.
but intends to let the matter remain as 1t Is
NEW JERSEYS LEpED.
Probably the most repulsiye-looking China
man in all New Jersey is sam sing. the
keeper of a small laundry at 3l2 John street
kearney. This is the place where INN HOP
Sing the leper OF this city, IS SAID u nave
remained for awhile after having received
5000 with which to 90 to China from this city.
Sam Sings face is a mass OF biotches, large
and small, particularly on his cheeks and
ears They are not very red, neither 90 they
appear TO be running sores. In the centre o.
each is a depression, as If a pencil had been
poked into them.
Sam Sings business IS apparently prosper
GUS although last night several people SAID
that they had ceased having their clothes
done up in his place, as they could not stand
his disgusting appearance, and, besides, were
afraid of disease. On Monday night several
toughs assaulted and attempted TO rob HIM,
and during the melee he was cut IN the face
near the nose. Ihi adds nothing to his per-
sonal beauty. He works all alone, and IS said
never 10 be absent from the little shanty.
