For the Big Place Ditch in Lap"rte and
Starke Counties.
Bids for the large Place drainage
ditch IN Laporte and Starke counties
were opened Friday at Knox, but the
contract for the WORK was not let on
account of the closeness of some of the
figures. Lemuel barrow, principal
attorney for the petitioners, was pres
ent, says the Laporte Herald, when
Construction Commissioner Coffin
opened the bids, sixteen in number.
Among the bidders for the work are l..
T. Harding 4 ',ns, of Lsporte; Dixon
w. Place, of South Bend, and John Nc
Andrews, of Illinois, who is now con-
structing the Machler ditch In this
county. Some of the outside contract
Ors eDdeavOred to form combination
to include all the bidders, but the effort
failed and on that account there were
bids presented which will cause cOusid-
erable saving In the construction of the
large drain, the estimated cost now be
ing placed at $4,000. The matter has
narrowed down to four bidders, Frank
Brumbaugh, of Elkhsrt; Pollard &
Golf. of Illinois; G.. X. VIII 4 Co., OF
Winanac, and John McAndrews, OF
Illinois, 30 that one of these four will
undoubtedly get the big job. A decis
ion In the matter will probably be

WAKARUSA'S BIG SENSATION.
Separation. Marriage and Birth in Quick
Succession.

Separation. Marriage and Birth in Quick
Succession.
Twin babies were born in Wakarusa
Thursday, and on account of the intri-
cate manner in which the marriage
and divorce laws operate in this state.
there is grave question as TO the ac-
tual names of the two newcomers,
says the Goshen Times. The problem
might be solved by the rule of equation,
tx representing an unknown quantity,
and yet the mother objects to the an
swer. Clark Bruce might say that the
psychological law of intuition would be
the safer method.
Readers of the newspapers will re-
member that some two months ago a
sensation was caused at W8karusa by
the marriage of Mrs. Minerva Martin
to Rev. ScsddoD, of Chicago. Follow
ing the marriage, there was sepsrs
tion due to letter received by Waka-
russ parties from the reverends wife in
Chicago from whom he had forgotten
TO secure q divorce when marrying
Mrs. Martin. Perhaps Scaddon's con-
science was somewhat cslmed with the
reflection that Mrs. Martin was grass
widow whose husband had deserted her
several years previous without the
means to support herself and her nu-
merous progeny, and hence he took her
to his bosom as an act OF charity, for,
being preacher of the gospel, he may
be taken as an authority upon chsrIts-
BILE acts. Mrs. Martin had secured a
divorce from her runaway swain on the
grounds of abandonment When SCad-
don skipped out TO evsde possible
charge of bigsmy, Mrs. Scaddon Mar
tin became lonesome and her thoughts
returned to her divorced husband. Ii
seems that Martins ideas ran along the
same line about that time, with the re-
suit that he packed his grip and started
for Wskarusa. Thus, but few months
after Scaddon mysteriously dIssp-
peared, Martin and his former wife
met again and after a brief cOurtship
decided to remarry. A license was
issued to them by County Clerk l.. y.
Dennert 10 December, 1900, and the
ceremony was performed. The two
lived together but very short time,
when for some reason Mr. Martin again
left her
After Mrs. Martin has had time for
thought she will probably inform the
children as TO whether they shall emu
late as their respected papa, the Chi
cago divine, Mr.. ScsddOn. or he recent
Mr.. Martin.

HAVOC OF THE GALE.
! Washington suffers From Part of
the Eastern Wind Storm.

The high and steady wind which for two
days has rendered locomotion afoot diff
cult and any outdoor occupation disagree
able is the tail end of a severe gale which
has been thrashing the northern and mid
die Atlantic coast for the past forty-eight
hours. Awnings, signs and limbs of trees
were the especial prey of the wind, and
early yesterday morning in many places
the streets were Uttered with debris which
had been blown from house and tree tops
to the pavement below. In many cases
window lights were demolished by the
force OF the gale. and all day long huge
clouds of dust eddied about the thorough
fares.
From cities all over the East come re-
ports of conditions similar to those prev
alent here In New York, according to
the statement of the Weather Bureau
made yesterday, the wind was blowing
sixty miles an hour and creating dis
turbance. although no great damage was
reported. In New England the winds are
from the northwest, and sweep the At
lantic Coast Inasmuch as they are off
shore. they are not so destructive as they
would otherwise be. No wrecks were
Yesterday heard of at the Weather De-
partment.
AS a result of the meteorological dis
turbances the telegraph lines all over the
East have been sadly damaged. Wires
between New York and Chicago in places
where the gale has clean sweep from the
Great Lakes were blown down as early
as 10 O'Clock Monday night. The wires
leading in to Washington. while they were
not entirely useless for communication,
we're in bad shape. and part of the time
communication with outside points was
difficult.
According to the forecast sheet issued
at the Weather nureau last night at 10
o'clock the qual,,y of weather which may
be expected in Washington today is fair,
with diminishing northwesterly winds.
The same is predicted for all other East
ern States save those in New England.
There the high winds are not expected
to blow themselves out until Thursday
