COUNTESS KIEMANNAS' WEEDS,

NEW YORK. July N.-tlVe hundred ana
eighty babies died in the borough OF Brook-
lyu during the past week ending on Satur-
day last, and the deaths of infants in that
borough up to noon yesterday for the week
ending tomorrow numbered three hundred
and ninety-two. In all Of these cases death
was the result of disorders directly trace
able to the heat, disorders which many who
have been watching the great infant NOR
tally in Brooklyn of late. believe might
have been avoided if there were a we'll
organized conscientious corps of city ply
sicians whose sole duty was to invade
the districts where the great masses OF the
poor live during the summer and see TO
Il that sick children had proper care and
attention before it was too late.
Justice Thomas II. Cumming, of Hack
ensacl, N +, has just released" a ro-
nance with a mystery behind it 1t is a
little story of the marriage of Paul Mach
ony, French, aged twenty-six years, and
Countess Kiemannas, American, aged
twenty-nine. The couple came to Hacken-
sack on June Goth. and Justice Cumming
being engaged In a trial. they waited three
hours for him, declining to go TO a priest
or minister.
The young woman did the talking, as
the man could not speak English, and
she said that they did not want minister
to marry them. She gave her maiden
name as Cecile z. Phelps and her home as
Richmond, Va, but. said she came from
Trenton, where she last resided. Her
first husband was Count Kiemannas, but
whether he is dead or alive was not men
toned.
The bride was very stylish young
woman, her costume consisting Of a light
gray outing suit with fine lace front and
trimming on the waist. white hat and
white gloves, and her display of diamonds
dazzed the typewriters in the Justices
office. The bridegroom was dressed in
perfect-fltting black and he wore a decora-
ton that was not understood by those
who saw it.

ELEVATED COLLISION.
A rear-end collision occurred last evening
on the Fifth-Avenue branch of the Brook
lvn Elevated Railroad, in which one of the
elevated roads employees was killed and
several other persons were injured. That
more We're not killed or injured is a matter
of surprise for after the danger from the
collision was over there was the peril or
the death-charged wired rail to be "ontend-
ed with. owing to the fact that hundreds
of passengers anxious to get to their destl-
nations took foolhardy risks in walking
along the track from their stalled trains
to a station exit to the street
