anyway, and again / learned that q
clear conscience is tenant that is
sometimes behind with the rent. The
complainant in this case was Mrs. John
Brown, who asked for decree of di-
vorce on the ground of descrtion. She
also asked for permission to resume her
maiden name of Harris, promising that
she would not use it any longer than
should be absolutely necessary.
The evidence iii this case was quite
ordinary, butth facts, on the contrary,
were novel and entertaining. 1t appears
that Hannah Harris lived two miles out
OF Connor's Corners, on the line of the
Maine IL Baffin's Bay railroad. She
kept house for her grandparents, who
lived within hundred feet of the rail
road track. She did not ride much in
the cars, but they were useful to her
because there was a train every fore
noon which she used as a culinary sir-
nal. Hannah was n true woman, and
couldn't keep clock within four hours
OF the correct time, and she frequent
~ had high words with her grand
father who came over from the Corners
for his dinner. BY and by Hannah dis
covered that If she put the potatoes on
to boil as soon rs she heard the fore
noon train go by, they would be done
when her grandfather arrived. And
thus tender feeling grew up in her
heart for the engineer who was such u
nice, convenient person. She felt sure
that he must be n young man of very
steady habits to be so regular in pass
ing the house. Hannah could see him
.,f .>f l.
and, though he skipped by the house ut
the rate of fifty miles an hour, she was
sure he was very nice looking.
One day the forenoon train collided
with 1lannah's grandfather's COW, and
this purely fortuitous event proved al
most as serious for Hannah as it was
for the COW. The train was dcrailcd,
and Hannah went down, as any other
kind-hearted woman would have done.
to tell the men how to put it on the
track again. She met the engineer.
All, wcll-a-day! why should / dwell
upon that scene? They were married
by Clergyman from Camden, n. j.,
who CHANGED to be among the passcn-
gers; and, when the train proceeded on
It's way, Hannah was sitting on her
trunk in the baggage car.
John Browns engine pulled the cars
as far as Dead River junction, where,
rs was customary, it was replaced by
another. 1t had been Johns intention
to board the train, but somehow he
missed it, and his bride went on without
him. Hannah was, of course, entirely
unconscious of this change. The train
sped on, and came to 4 stand-still Mt last
in the station at Bangor. Hannah was
so impatient that she could not wait for
her husband to come to her in the bag.

said Hannah
"Who might your husband DO,
ma'am?" inquired trainhand.
THE engineer cried Hannah; "wc

Wall, | swan" exclaimed the train
hand; IAN him with a wife an nine
children right here in Bangor"
Hannah tainted, of course, but the
cool-hcaded railroad man bathed her
temples tendcrly with the long-handled
brush that he had been using to clean
the car windows, and she revived.
Meanwhile Brown had sent Il telc-
gram directing Hannah to take the
next train back, and meet him in Bos-
ton. He received this reply:
John Brown, you will be prosecuted
for bigamy."
Brown took this as friendly warn
ing that Hannah had another husband;
and. desiring to avoid trouble, he threw
up his job and fed to the west. Han
nah hurried to Boston, longing to con-
front the deceiver. She inquired for
him at the company's Office and learned
that there were seven engineers named
John Brown employed by the company.
AS to the one who had been at the throt-
tie of the engine which killed old man
Harris cow, the official of the compa-
ny refused to give any information.
lie said that it was against the rules of
the corporation to say anything in case
OF an accident. The story of the mar
rlage ne looked upon as an effort to get
evidence in suit for damages on ac-
count of the killing of the COW.
In this emergency Hannah consulted
an able divorce lawyer, who told her
that her only course was to bring seven
suits against the seven John Browns
employed by the railroad. Hannah con-
scntcd to this plan and the lawyer col
lected seven fees. Then the suits wore
brought. But the lawyers regular wit
nesses had had no experience in cases
like this so he advised her to abandon
her ground of complaint, and allow him
to proceed in the usual way. He then
invented seven different scandals. one
for each of the John Browns. These
coming to the ears of the six other Mrs.
John Browns resulted in six more suits
for divorce, some of which are still
pending, having been delayed in one
way and another during the intcrven-
ing ten years.

enough in this brief and truthful record

riage will go on making them just ms

Suspicion That He Was Murdered Grow

Elijah Cobb, the Unfortunate white
man whose mutilated and lifeless body
was found on the railroad track opposite
the Machine. Works. Tuesday morning,
was native of Waverley, Va. His
father died there several years ago in a
fit of delirium tremens while firing
pistol shots at the moon The family
were poor and Elijah, like the rest OF
the children, received but limited
education and was early thrown upon
his own resources.
The suspicion that Cobb was muir.
dered and his BODY afterwards thrown
upon the track to hide the crime is
strengthened by a number of circum.
stances, among them tho fact that two
tracks had recently descended the hank
on the north side of tho railroad and
ploughed up the dirt. The theory OF
an eX-oflicer who has acquired an envi-
able reputation as detective, is that
the tracks were made by men who boro
the body of Cobb between them and
placed 1T upon the railroad. This mys.
terry. like others which have plagued
the people and police of Roanoke, will
probably never be solved.

told him that, though his conduct had
been somewhat impctuous for so short
an acquaintance, she would be his if he

he had been looking at. She had been
watching him all the way up the street,
and was fairly dying with curiosity.
Well, when he followed the wire into
the next township that afternoon, she
followed him, and they were married.
But one day, few months later,
he forgot to tell her which way
the wire was to lead him; and
