COULDN'T FACE THREE WIVES
Explanation Of a Witnesses Absence
From a Newark Court.

NEWARK, n. j., Oct. 1.-WiIliam
Bach, complaining witness in a case
before Judge Kirkpatrick, this morn
ing, was present when court opened,
but disappeared before the case was
called, and has not yet been found.
Charles Halle was arrested on the
night of Sept. 9Th, charged with firing
four shots at Bach. Halle claimed Bach
had been too attentive to Mrs. Halle,
and he simply wanted to brighten him.
Halle was held for trial, and Bach was
released under 5000 bail as a witness.
His mother went on his bond.
When court opened this morning,
Bach was present. There were three
women in the courtroom. Upon catch
ing sight of them, Bach edged toward
the door and escaped. When Bach did
not respond to his name, Assistant
Prosecutor Hood asked that his bond
be forfeited and a bench warrant for
his arrest issued. Frank McDarmitt,
counsel for Bach's mother, opposed
this. He explained that Bach appeared
to have four women who claimed him
as husband, and that three Of them
we're said to be in court.
Judge Kirkpatrick smiled grimly,
and said that if the man had four. wo.
men looking for him, and three of
them were together, there was pretty
good cause to get out. The Judge said,
however, that unless Bach was pro
dueed by adjournment Of court to day,
the bond would stand forfeited. The
protection of the Court was extended
to Bach until a reasonable time after
he would be released, if he would ap
pear and testify.
Mrs. Bach started out to hunt up her
son. Halle's counsel told his client he
guessed the State would have to aban-
don the case, as Bach vas not likely to
face such lively music as the women
appeared to threaten.
According to the stories Of the wo-
man who were present to day. Bach
frat married a young woman in Orange.
she was one of those present this morn
ing. He next went to Brooklyn, and
there married Aunie Sahr. He next
came back to Newark, and married a
third woman. These were the three
present to day. Just where the fourth
came in did not appear.

from the coast are meagre. The sea
islands along the coast of Georgia and
South Carolina had almost a repetition
of the storm of 1898.
Almost every cottage and cabin in
wake OF the storm was destroyed, but
the water was not piled upon them, as
in 1898; consequently. the suffering was
not near 60 severe. The fatalities on
the sea islands were not numerous, and
due to accidents from falling timbers,
or trees, more than to water. Only
those who happened to be caught out
IN boats were drowned.
The number of fatalities on the sea
islands is not known, but it is not be-

Twenty negroes were killed on the

names could not be secured. The sea

After so long a time, and many hard
struggles, l cine to your relief with
81, which I have CLEANED from the hard
times as it continues to blight fair
sunny LAID. In the same effort laugh
and cry both wi our political situa
tion liz this campaign. 1t IS quite hu
initiating to contemplate casting a bal
lot for that political makeshift, Arthur
Sewall, who, in my opinion, was put
on the ticket with Bryan to sweeten it
for the goldbug element; and inasmuch
as it failed to accomplish the design, it
is doubIy humiliating to vote for Bryan
and Sewall electors. However, there
is some consolation, perhaps from the
fact that one of the old, egotistical par
ties (the Democrats) we're compelled to
eat a large bait Of crow, and go back
and take a dose of doubly concentrated
PopuIistic medicine to make the crow
digest. If they will Just hold out faith
full and continue the medicine, they
will soon find that they are entirely
clear of Democratic and sycophantic
fits.
The Moore County Alliance meets

Alliance officer would meet us there on

speech, such as will revive our Alliance
with the syncop8. We need some in
formation on many things which would
have more effect from some brother
from another part of the State. We
have never been favored with Alliance
lectur1ng here as the brethren have in
