PECULIAR DIVORCE.

NEW YORK, May o.--In a unique
ceremony at Bellevue Hospital hus-
band and wife were divorced, so far
as their church is concerned, at the
request of the wife, so that she will
not be compelled to obey church law
requiring widow to marry her hus-
bands brother or remain forever a
widow. The man and woman thus
separated are Noah Chalman aged 2o
years, and Agnes Chairman, 2l years
old. The two we're married on May
2. The next day the husband was
taken violently i'll and physicians
have given him only few days to
live Mrs Chairman did not want to
become the wife of her husbands
brother, in case of his death as the
Mosaic law would have commanded.
Her husband consenting, the church
ceremony Of separation was per-
formed.

Il Il, can't slip him running south. The cars'

He ran toward the railroad. Ten feet be-

With shock, he landed on the top of a

and safety, saw the disappointed Sheriff,

FLIGHT.

7T nine o'clock of the eventful morn
n / ing 10 Morris began his journey to-
lN ward New York, virtually fugi-
Eas9Sl tive from justice. four men were
t@ESG discussing the merits and demerits
of his case in the office of the vii
laee magistrate at Newton.
They were the justice, tn, Sheriff, an at,
torney of the town, and William Dodge, and
while all were loud in their convictions that
Jo Morris was about as hard case as New
ton ever had, Nat Daviss uncle was the
most bitter and cynical in his remarks.
'It's shame" he was saying, with dark
frown at the Sheriff. "It's a travesty on JUS
tice. It's bad enough to be robbed, but when
the Jail can be broken open like barn, what
security has the public against eriminals?"
"It's mystery to me" replied the Sheriff,
shamefacedy "Some one from the outside
helped 10 Morris to escape"
"iThen you'd ought to catch him again"
said Dodge.
''We're trying to. We have men out every
where. There's a big CROWD, ana a circus at
Millville, and he's probably drifted there. If
he has my men will nab him, sure. II looks
bad, III admit, gentlemen. II seems as if

The work of the night rider in
this county was finished sometime

handling tobacco independently was
wiped out by the growers themselves
putting their 1905 crop IN the pool.

act one year sooner, thereby saving
our county the pitiable plight Of be-
