 Not long after we were married" he said, "her former husband began to pay attentions to her. One time she laid her hand upon his shoulder and said to me: Here Is a man I lived with ten years and I wouldn't give his little finger for an army of men like you

Havana Still Cut on.

New York, Oct 19.-Havana was still cut of from the rest of the world so far as cable communication was concerned, up to this morning. At 3 a. m. no word had been received from the Cuban capital since mid night Wednesday, when a severe storm was raging. Reports received from Florida indicate that the hur- ricane was furious along the south east coast of Florida and reports of severe damage are feared when com munfcation is restored. This, to- gether with the isolation of Havana, causes some anxiety as to the safety of the American warships which were in Havana harbor when the storm began. No word has been received from them.

NEEDLE THREADED WAY.
Swallowed 50 Years Ago. Surgeon
 Took It From Matron's Knee.

New York, Oct 19.--An old-fash- toned silver needle with gold eye wandered around in Mrs H. A. Smiths body for something over half century. Mrs Smith lives at No 52SA Ocean avenue, Jersey City, and no one was more surprised than she when the needle ended its wander ings by emerging from her left knee yesterday.
 It is a particularly fine needle, with It's gold eye, and Mrs Smiths mother must have been very much vexed when her baby daughter swal- lowed it. Mrs Smith as a baby must have swallowed it, say the doctors, though Mrs Smith has no recollection of having performed such feat. She had been having rheumatism" SO she thought, for more than year, and the pain had been settling about her left knee-cap. Yesterday the pain became so intense that she call ed in Dr Lambert. He applied the lancet and found the long lost needle.

 The penalty Is fine of from $50 to $5,000, which may be repeated for each day of the ofYense. or im- prisonment of from six to twelve months.
 The Standard oil Co of Ohio has given notice that 1t will file a mo- tion for new trial. The defendant has three days to put this motion in form. The court will then impose the penalty and the defense will take their bill of exceptions to such ruling of Judge Banker as they have ob- Jected to to the circuit court of the

 To the state. the case is important. as initiating an entirely new method of proceeding against alleged trade monoplies-that is. by information and affidavit instead of by grand jury indictment The verdict was rem dered at 4:35 a. m., following thirty two consecutive hours deliberation. The trial itself occupied seven days.
 When the case went to the fury at S:30 o'clock Wednesday night. the first ballot of the Jurors stood nine for conviction and three for ac- quittal. At a. m. Thursday, one of the three for acquittal joined the majority. At p. m. Thursday one of the two remaining for acquittaI went over to the other side and at { a. m. to-day the last of the three gave his assent to the verdict of guilty"

AFFECTED THIS COUNTRY.
The Sudden Rise of Discount of the
 Bank of England.

New York. Oct 19.-The New York stock market opened weak and lower. The first quotation was in AtchisOn and showed decline of Is. Other early declines were: An acOnda 53-4, Capadian Pacific 2 3-8, Baltimore X Ohio 1-2, St Paul 5-S, Smelling 15-8, Amalgamated Copper 13-4, Pennsylvania 13-S, Steel pfd IS and Union Pacific 21-2.
 The opening of the market was very confused and almost demoral- ized Tho opening pressure to sell seemed to come chiefly from arbit- rage firms which desired to dispose cf stocks at any quotation above the London prices. The first to suffer were the stocks in which speculation bas been active recently, Union Pa- cific, Amalgamated Copper and Read- ing. RumOrs were circulated here that the Bank of Englands advance had been caused by threatened finan- cial trouble in London but there was no continuation whatever of these re- ports.
 After the first selling movement, there was rally, but the better tone did not hold and toward II o'clock prices began to fall again. Reading, which closed at 151% yesterday, sold below 148; Northern Pacific lost and others sold down sharply.
 Call money was quoted at per cent on the stock exchange at 11:15 a. m.
 Boston, Oct 19.-The weakness of the New York stock market, which followed the raise of discount to 6 per cent, by the Bank of England, re suited in sympathetic depression in the Boston market in the early trad ing. Later, however the market re- covered and steadied. At the open ing Butte Coalition was off 7-8 to 3S and Old Dominion fell 214 to s. Greene Consolidated declined 1-2 to p 3-S and Copper Range 1-2 to S2.
 The rally did not hold, however. and some of the stocks receded to the opening prices. Anaconda, which opened off 6 points from yesterdays closing rallied to 270 but fell again to 2761-2.
