asking her to meet him. 1t was sus-
pected that he had been employed by
Malley, and no attention was paid to
them.
She received a piece of paper by a
messenger last Tuesday morning which
read as follows:
"MARY-Meet me at one o'clock,
Twenty-sixth street and Madison ave-
nue., and we will have some fun.
CRANK"
She made no response to this re-
quest, and about two o'clock In the
afternoon Keats called on her. He
urged her to go out with him and said he
would pay her the money he owed her.
She answered that she believed he was
in league with Malley, and that she
would have nothing to do with him.
They 6uarreled in the hall and Keats
was ordered out by the landlady.
Mrs. Reinhart left the house at half
past three p. m, saying she was going
to store aud would be back in a few
minutes. She wore a black dress with
a pointed waist and white sailor hat
with band OF red and white squares.
This was the last seen of her. She has
been searched for without result, and
the worst is feared for her.

A YOUNG WIRES GRIEF.
Married Secretly, the Thought of separa-
ton Killed Her.


New YORK, August 20.-Among the
many marriage notices that appeared II
various of the New York papers July
| Is last was the simple announcement
that William J Phenlx, OF No. 695 Mon
roe street, and Matilda Roeme, OF No
6s7..Monre street, Brooklyn, had beer
married. There were no dates given
Just the mere announcement being
made.
The next day in the death notices was
the announcement Of the death OF Mrs
William J. Phenix at her residence, No
| 6s7 Monroe street, Brooklyn, in the
twenty-frst year of her age.
Very few readers had seen both no
tees, and those who had were not Inn
pressed with the fact that the name:
aud addresses were the same. But
underneath the two commonplace an
nouncements is a story of love and hap
piness, with a sequel OF grief and sad
ness, the whole forming one OF those
romanceS Of real life which make so true
the proverb that truth is stranger than
fiction.
William ]. Phenix is the only son OF
Deputy City Treasurer Phenix of Brook
lvn. One of his companions from almost
babyhOod was Eatilda, or as she was
called, "Tillie" Roome, the youngest
and favorite daughter of Henry Roome,
who lived in the same neighborhood.
Growing up together constant compan-
onship nouriShed their attachmen t,and
they fell in love with each other when
nothing more than schoolchildren. The
Young lady was bright, stylish and
pretty, a veritable queen in her large
circle of friends. At last, when young
Phenix and his sweetheart did realize
that they loved each other, they an
nounced it to their parents, who gave
their cheerful consent TO a union.
Miss Roome'S parents favored mar
rage at once and wished young Phenix
to 90 into business. Mr.. Phenix, Sr.,
opposed this, his wish being that his
son should graduate in medicine, which
he was then studying. While the fami-
lies were arguing the case the young
folks settled it by marrying clandes-
timely. 1t is thought by many that the
marriage was no secret to the RoomeS.
But be that as it may, the young groom
was sent away to medical college in
Burlington, VT, Immediately afterward
with the understanding that when he
had obtained his diploma the marriage
should be made public.
1t was with mingled feelings OF hope
and fear and anticipations of great hap
piness that the two young people looked
forward to the final examination. 1t
came, but young Phenix failed to &C
quire the standard. He would have to
study another year, and when the news
was told his wife she grew seriously i'll.
She became worse and worse and finally
told her secret to both her own and her
husbands parents. The marriage was
Immediately published, and the next
day Mrs. Phenix died.
William Phenix is now in the Adiron-
dacks, almost heartbroken.

MARKET OvERsTOCKED.
The Fruit and Vegetable Prices as Com.
pared With Last Year.


pared With Last Year.
A comparison of fruit and vegetable
prices as compared with this time last
year reveals the fact that the cost Of
living is much less now than then.
There was no time last season when to-
matoes went much below S1.00 per
bushel, and the general range was
81 90 to 81 % per bushel. Now toma-
toes are selling at three or four bushels
for 81 90, and slow at that price.
Cucumbers are selling at so to 20 cents
a bushel basket, whereas a year ago
the price was 81 so. The same differ
ence prevails all along fruit and vege-
table lines. There has been no time in
the last half dozen years when fruits
and vegetables were so low as they are
this season.
The markets have been glutted with
farm and garden products for the past
two weeks and, as consequence,
the drift of the markets has been steadily
downward. The market gardener finds
his occupation almost gone, as farmers
since harvests are largely supplying
retail stores and homes with fruits
and vegetables. Said a huckster
yesterday: "This is one Of the worst
seasons for our trade that / can remem-
Der. We have plenty of stuff, but get
very little for il. When crops are so
large as they are this season, the pro-
Queer has hard work and small pay.
| The gardener gets more and has less
labor when the yield is as light as 1t was
last season.
Last summer, could find ready Gus
toners for all Ihad to bring to market,
and was generally sold out before noon.
This season, have great difficulty SELL
ing my stuff at all, at prices not more
than one-half the range OF last
year. The gardeners happy time
is when crops are light and
fruits high. Then his work Is light and
profits large. But In such prolific
year as this we have lots Of work and
little money. While this Is good sea-
SON fer consumers. It Is not as profitable
to the producer as it was last year, or
for several years past.

RECEIVED A LEGACY

Before Mrs. Reinhardt's baby was
born she had received q small legacy
from her fathers estate in Ireland. Her
sufferings had so affected her mind that
she took to liquor. She spent a good
deal Of the money in the company of
Frank Keats, a cab driver, who had
been allowed to sleep in the house in
which she lived. She loaned him $50
when he WAS IN the trouble with the
police. She reformed after the birth
of her child and refused to see Keats.
Soon after the service OF the papers on
Malley, Keats began to write her notes.
