pIOT MARRIAGE ANNULLED-

Vice Chancellor Emery, of New
ark, N. j., has annulled the marriage
of Henry Daum, 10 years old, to Ed
ma Stewart, 10 years old. The BRIDE
groom at the time of his marriage
received a weekly stipend of So as
helper to a local photographer. In
his decision the vice-chancellOr says:
1.-The proofs show satisfactorily that
the marriage was brough about by
the persuasion of one John Penn, q
friend of Miss Stewart, who induced
Daum to be married OH that day be-
fore a justice of the peace. Penn
paid expenses of the marriage. The
undisputed proofs show that after
the marriage Penn and Mrs. Daum
met at the house of Penn's brother
and that their relations then were
not only intimate but familiar, and
also that for several days in April,
1902, she lived in a house with him
in Jersey City, where she was taken
by Penn (under the name of Riker)
and passed as the wife of Jack
Riker," and paid for the use of the
rooms. The proofs as to the rela-
tions between Penn and Mrs. Daum
give fair reason for supposing that
at the time of the marriage it was in
contemplation by both of them that
improper relations should exist, and
that the marriage was intended to
afford a convenient cover for carry
ing them on.

POSITIVELY A CANDIDATE.
John N. C. Stockton has decided to
Contest for U. S. Senatorship
Two Years Hence.

Ever since the memorable contest
of the Stackton brothers (TOm and
Telfair) for the state senatorship
from DuVal county, in which the
forces of Telfair Stockton, led by
that most astute other brother,
John N. c. Stockton, were victori-
Gus, there has been talk that the
latter would oppose Senator Taliferro
in the race for the U. S. Senatorship
two years hence. Some have doubt
ed that Mr.. Stockton would be a can
didate for this office, claiming that
he would prefer to be the next gov
ernor. This doubt has now been set
at rest by Mr.. Jno. n. G. Stockton
himself, who. in an interview in
Tuesdays Metropolis, comes out
openly for the senatorship. Mr..
Stockton says:
'Since the results of the Demo-
cratic State primaries held July 10Th
and August 18th so effectually de-
mOnstrated the fact that the
masses of the Democratic party of
FlOrida-the real Democrats-can
and will make themselves felt and
control the nomination of their Off
GERS, / have been receiving great
many flattering letters, urging me to
enter the race in the next primary,
two years hence, as a candidate for
United States Senator. OF course,
these very generous suggestions have
been pleasant to receive as an evil
dence of appreciation by the Demo-
cratic people of the part have been
taking in their interest for so many
years, but | was not Gesirous of
reaching II conclusion on the subject
so far in advance.
but the number and character of
letters and personal solicitations ur-
ging that permit my friends to sup
port me for that office have induced
me to determine to give my consent,
a candidate for the United States
mary of 1904.
''The Democratic people of Florida

tions ! have uniformly taken on all
political questions that have arisen,
and at the proper time they will be
made thoroughly familiar with the

ture for that office, and the fact that
| then, by Withdrawing in favor of
that sterling Democrat. Stephen r.
Mallory, insured the election of a
United States Senator who has
proven true friend and servant of
the Democratic masses will ever be
one of the acts of which l am most
proud, and have continuously since
that time been receiving, as occasion
offered, evidences that the Demo-
cratic people still appreciated the

half, and / now feel that | have no
right to refuse my consent that my

A MODERN LOGHINvAR-


At the little town of Coesse, Ind,
a few days ago, guests assembled for
the marriage of Mrs. Grace Merriam,
the daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Geary,
and young man from BlutftOn. The
minister was on hand and the cere-
mony about to proceed, when Harry
Mossmaa, son of a prominent Fort
Wayne family, dashed into the room
with drawn revolver. The guests
naturally were frightened and the
groom turned pale. The modern
Lochinvar seized the bride and to-
gether they eloped to Michigan and
were married. They are spending
their honeymoon in Hillsdale.
The marriage is the elimination of
a sensational romance. The bride, a
pretty young widow, met Mossman
and the two soon were in love, but
Geary objected to the marriage and
wanted her to marry the Bluffton
man. Parental influence seemed to
prevail and Mrs. Merriam finally
consented to marry her parents
choice. When Mossnlan carried of
the widow by force, DR.. Geary swOre
out warrant for him, charging alb
duction, and other serious Offenses,
but on learning that she and Moss
man were married. he dropped the
charge. Now he says she can re-
turn to the parental roof any time
she wishes, but he threatens bodily
harm to MOssman.

GIRL HARvEsTERs STRIKE

~ WI Al EhiN ' iS''i AsAef' ~ IA
Three young women, Rose and Ag-
nes KilgOre and Miss Alexander. are
responsible for harvest hand strike
in Pratt county, Kansas, last week,
when 300 quit work, leaving % farm
ers stranded for help in the midst of
their wheat harvest. The girls had
been working i'll the fields them
selves and they complained of ill
treatment from several of the farm
ers employing them.
The long hours were the cause of
their quitting work. Three young
men, their sweethearts, were dis
charged at the same time for trying
to organize the farm hands and raise
their wages. This enraged the girls
and they began getting young men
to quit work and join their forces,
until 300 were members of the Pratt
County Farm Hands union. The
girls ordered strike yesterday.
The members all quit. No-outside
workers are allowed to come into the
place, a party of workmen from
Wichita being run out of the county.

be located here for several months.
These men will have to be housed
and fed, consequently the demand
for board and lodging will be inn

reap the benefit, and so all along the
line the effect will be felt, and a

lean flag draped over the main entrance
were the only decorations of the interior
Of the commodious auditorium.
At the morning service after the ordi-
nance Of the Lords Supper and the re-
ception of q number of new members
Pastor swaffield preached an appropriate
anniversary sermon reviewing the accom-
piishments of his six years nainistration
here. He told how the membership had

provided for by the erection Of the chapel
facing on Cottage street four years ago.
and a year later by the enlargement OF
the church itself and how the Marion
Chapel was provided for the accommo-
dation of members Of the congregation
residing in that section.

FLOUR GO. SOLVENT
Receivers of Hecker-Jones-

Discharged.


An application was made to Vice Chan
eellor Pitney this morning to direct the
receivers Of the Heckerf- Jones-J ewelI
Milling Company to turn over the assets
of the company to the Incorporated Off
GERS of the company. it being alleged that
the company IS now solvent.
Two years ago this corporation was de-
clared insolvent and Chancellor McGiil
appointed as receivers Messrs c. E kim
ball and William Brookfield. All that the
receivers had as working capital to con-
duct the big business was 100000. BY the.s
efforts today they have 0,oO0 more and
they ask to be discharged.
Mr.. Robert Lawrence of the firm of Be
die Edwards and Lawrence opposed the
proposition unless certain things were
done. He represented Mr. Hecker and
Mr. Jewell, who have large claims. not
only against the company but against the
receivers, for compensation for use of GER
tain machinery, the royalties and patents
of which are owned by them. These
claims were disallowed by the receivers
and an appeal taken from their decision.
If said Mr.. Lawrence, the receivers
will give bond to protect my ciie<st IS

The Vice Chancellor instructed Lawyer
Sherrard Depue, who represented the re-
ceivers to draft a decree comprising all
points desired and present it on Monday
next for approval.
