Chicago Inter Ocean.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
Broom manufacturers from all parts Of
the country met at the fremont House,
Chicago. March T. for the purpose of rails
ing the price Of brooms so as TO CORE
spond with the great advance in the price
of the corn. Broom corn, which sold last
fan at $50 per ton is to-day worth 500 and
there is a possibility OF It's going TO $500 in
a short time.
The great increase In price is not due TO
corner, but to actual shortage In the
market For several years broom corn
has been at a very low figure ana as a
consequence the farmers in the central
part Of Illinois, where the bulk Of the corn
is raised, have decreased their acreage
from year to year until short time ago
the manufacturers and brokers awoke IN
the startling fact that there was a scarcity
of broom corn. In a week the price went
from $50 to $50 a-ton and 1t has been grad
ually going up ever since
After the first big Jump the nanufao-
turers met and raised the prices TO meet
the increase. On account of the steady
rise they have called another meeting.
These prices are not conmensurafe
with the price Of corn" said large man
ufacturer AT previous meeting we
added only 80 cents per dozen to the price
of brooms, and at this meeting we voted
70 increase the price 81 per dozen. | be-
lieve that further advance In prices win

broom corn is harvested in October"
Illinois furnished fully 80 per cent OF
all the broom corn used in the country.
and the scarcity here affects every man

MIsTRIAL IN DIVORCE SUIT.
An Unusual Occurrence In the An
nails of the Court.

nails of the Court.
A mistriai in a divorce court is some
thing unusual, but the unusual happened
in the Superior Court yesterday.
Mrs. Bobbie Whitaker had petitioned the
court to annul the marriage between her
self and w. II. whitaker on. the grounds
that the latter had another wife living
when their marriage occurred. The petit
ton stated that the marriage took place
in September, 1884, and that the former
wife, Mary E. Watson. was now living in
Texas, while Whitaker is living in Vlr-
ginia
Apparently there was nothing for the
jury to do but give verdict apnulling the
marriage, there being no opposition to the
petition. This was what the court off,
Gals and apparently the judge himself
expected. The jury had been out only a
short time, however, when 1t returned to
be charged, again on some points of the
law. After returning to the Jury room the
Jurors were still unableto agree, AS they
were needed to make out panel for an
other case OF more Importance they were
brought down to the court room ond mis-
trial declared,
The fact that the marriage took place
fifteen years ago. and that sufficient proof
was not offered of the existence of the
former wife are supposed to account for
the unsettled state of mind upon the part
Of the jury.
