1t comes with surprise to the
friends of our townsman, Edgar
Weaver, that he has secured the ap-
pointment by the ]. I. Case Threshing

and offered the position to Mr..
Weaver. The gentleman held the Of
fer Cor long time under advisement,
disliking that one feature, that it
would probably compel him to move
his residence to Minneapolis, after hav-
ing so long made his home in this city
where he has many friends; but after
due consideration he sent in his accept
ance and took charge of the business on
November 1st, and now is in the twin
cities assisting in making transfers
of the goods there into the new state
department and organizing the same.
The house here will be q branch CT

under Mr.. Viewers control, and the
new move will not curtail the bust
ness that the company have done
from here.
Who will take charge of the new
warehouse here as district manager is
not yet known.

REFUSED Her ALIMONY.
Mrs. Ludlow Accuses Her Hus-
band of Deseriton--Widow
in the Case.

Mrs. Ida May Ludlow, at present resid-
ing in Jersey City, and her counsel Law
yer Hart, appeared before Vice Chancel-
lor Pitney this morning to ask for coun-
sci fee and alimony in a suit which she
shas brought for divorce from her hus-
band, George w. Ludlow, an oyster mer-
chant of Hackensack. Unfortunately for
the attractive young matron, the eVice
Chancellor refused her request for the
reason that she had not made a prima
facie case of her husbands alleged mis-
deeds.
In her application Mrs. Ludlow said
that they were married seven years ago,
but on August Il. 1895, her husband de-
serted her at Keyport and went to Hack
ensack to live. She followed him there.

with q fascinating willow, Mrs. Lavinia

Mrs. Ludlow, in her affidavit, declared
that when She called at her husband s
lodging house the widow, in very negligee
attire, opened the door, and on learning
that her visitor wished to see her boarder
she called upstairs.

Her husband, Mrs Ludlow swears
came downstairs without his coat and
vest, and on seeing his wife looked very
much surprised and exclaimed:

ask you to keep me- replied Mrs, Ludlow.
giarlng at the widow, VINO excitedly
turned to her boarder and reproachfully
said.-
George you never told me you were a
married man.
Ludlow replied to the widow that the
woman was his wife. but insisted that she
had the DEVILS cheek to come and disturb
his comfort at her house. How the in
terestlng Genouement ended Mrs. Ludlow
didn't say, but added that Mrs. Harrison
was very jealous if her husband went
out nights in the giddy city of mosque
toes and muskmelons, Hackensack.
The unlucky Ludlow replied to all these
statements by saying that his wife capri
ciously deserted him and absolutely re-
fused to live with him. AS to the widow
episode, he said nothing about that. Mrs.
Harrison, however, put in an affidavit
denying the incident, and averred that
her relations between her and her boarder
were only of proper character.
Because of lack of facts as to the de-
serUion. the Vice Chancellor refused the
motion for alimony
