MARRIED IN A TRANCE
A New Jersey Woman's Extraordi-
nary Claim


One New Jersey woman does not be-
lieve in the old adage that "all is fair in
| love and war;" Though her husband
loves her dearly, she has filed plea for
divorce from him. Her name is Mrs.
Lizzie Temple, and she lives in Bridge
ton, in the mosquito state. The story
she tells of how her husband secured her
as his wife is strange and weird. She
says that she was drugged and married
while in a trance and it is for this reason
that she wishes to have the knot cut. She
charges her sister Anna with being a
conspirator in the plot which made her
Temples wife. Mrs Temple is 16 years
old, and extremely pretty. Her hus-
band is 35 years old, and wealthy.
For two years Temple has been devoted
to the young woman. She says he has
often asked her to be his wife. But she
has always refused him.
Miss Anna Simkins, Mrs. Temples sis
ter poses as a clairvoyant. She told
Justice Pierce that Anna pretends to see
the future in consideration of money
which must be paid in advance To Anna
went Temple, having been refused by
Miss Lizzie.
This is what happened, according to
the unhappy womans story:
II see you and Lizzie being married"
she said to the infatuated Temple. If
you pay me $780," the clairvoyant con-
tinued, II will make my vision reality"
The bargain was struck. Temple paid
the money to Miss Anna. A few nights
afterward she invited Lizzie to her home.
After a while Temple appeared there.
Mrs. Temple declared that he invited
her to take drink of sarsaparilla. She
did so. Thereafter her mind was cloud
ed. She is certain the drink was drug
ged.

Yellow Fever and Business

Yellow EeVer ana Business
s. A. T. writes to the editor of Brad
streets under date New Orleans, Octo-
ber 18th, as follows:
| Sir-Your correspondent has received
so many inquiries regarding the effect
Of yellow fever on business down here
that he has thought it best to make a
general reply to all of them. In New
Orleans, where the population is from
275,000 to 100000, the total number of
cases of yellow fever reported is 726, of
which 81 have proved fatal, 331 have re-
covered and 314 are now under treat
ment. From this it will be perceived
that only IL per cent OF the total num-
ber OF those afflicted have died. OF that
proportion 30 per cent consisted Of Ital-
ians or Sicilians, whose scale Of living
was Of low order. These figures are Of
ficial. The mortality has been so light
that II this Is yellow fever, then it must
hereafter lose it's terors, for typhoid ami
scarlet fevers, which prevail in many
eastern and western cities, have a rec
ord of much larger percentage Of NOR
tality Whatever the disease may be,
1t was imported. 1t is now nineteen
years since case of genuine yellow
fever has been reported, but the reap
pearance of the yellow dragon and the
attention paid it by the newspapers have
resulted in partial panic which has re-
tarded commerce, tied up locomotives,
demolished freight cars. and has driven
back the United States mails. From
July 1st to September 1st, this year,
merchants were doing from 25 to so per
cent more business than at the same
period in any year since 1898, and the
outlook was never so promising. Louis
lana merchants do not know now when
they will be able to collect outstanding
accounts. and cannot realize on stocks
on hand. Banks are pursuing a very
liberal policy, in order to tide over the
emergency, which may continue thirty
days longer.
The weather has been very favorable
for the cotton and sugar crops. Large
quantities of cotton have been picked,
but as yet little has been shipped, and
present prices are discounting IL, O,0OO.-
OOO-bale crop. Cane sugar is growing
very rapidly, promises well, and grind
ing will be general the latter part of this
month. The appearance Of frosts will
result in the disappearance Of the fever.
Quarantine restrictions are being modi-
fled cautiously, and some Improvement
is noted in the mail and express service.
