NEW YORK. Sept. 16.--How hand
some young German electrician lost
his sweetheart, who later died Of
broken heart. and married an insane
widow many years his senior, was
told in legal verbiage in a petition for
an annulment OF marriage filed in the
Supreme Court by Alfred Kopetz. Mr..
Kope,z himself and his attorney,
Joseph c. Crane supplied the missing
links in the Unusual narrative.
According to the papers in the case
and statements by lawyer and client
Mrs. Kopetz, who is now confined in
the State Homeopathic Hospital at
Middletown,.N Y, played the part Of
designing Nillainess so adrOitly that
she broke up the engagement Of ko-
PETE and Freda krampf, a most
charming fraulein, and married the
young man herself without even ex-
citing the suspicion that she was mem
tally deranged.
A paragraph in the petition states
that Kopetzs consent to the mar
riage was obtained and possessed by
fraud, deceit, misrepresentation ana
perjury by Margaret Kopetz, at that
time and prior thereto a lunatic," and
adds that upon making the discovery
that he had been fraudulently dealt
with the husband ceased to live with
his wife. Her confinement in the Mid
dletown institution followed
Love at First Sight.
My client was most unfortunate.
said Mr.. Crane at his office. "He was
unfortunate in that he met a woman
who while insane, committed fraud
but the matter will be Strengthened
out by the courts. I have endless au
thorities 20 prove that an insane per
son may commit a fraud. Were the
law not such every one found guilty
OF fraudulent practices would plead
insanity and that would be a ca
lamity.

gagged to marry Fraulein Kramp

LONG OCEAN TRIP
MADE In A SCOW

SAN. FRANCISCO. Cal, Sept L.
Word was received here of the sue
cessful termination OF one of the
nervlest ventures ever tackled on
the Pacific coast II. c. Slate and
Peter Peterson, who left here for the
Arctic last May on board the ancient
bay scow Alice Stofen, have arrived
safely at Point Barrow They left
here May Is last. both, their friends
believed, headed direct for Davy
Jones locker They not only fooled
Davy Jones. but had a delightful trip,
says the San Francisco Call.
The Alice Stolen Is a schooner rig
ged scow OF seventeen tons that was
built sixteen years ago for service on
the bay. Originally the vessel was
stout and serviceable and we'll fitted
for it's work in the sheltered waters
of harbor and river. Never at any
stage Of its career would anybody but
two hardened trappers have consid-
cred the Stofen as Nc for a trip as
tar outside the heads as the Faral-
lones.
Slate, who has passed twenty years
OF his life trading and trapping IN
the arctic, wanted to get back there,
and the Stofen was about the only
kind of vessel that his means would
permit him TO buy. He bought the
old scow for song He provisioned
IL for a long trip and loaded 1t with
| trading goods. and May 16 with Pete
Peterson for a crew, sailed for the
North
The only navigation instrument
aboard the Stofon were a little oil
compass and a seXtant as old as tn
scow. Slate could not afford
chronometer, and, as he admitted .
a friend before sailing, would no
have known how to use II If he ha'

New Orleans. Jan. 1s.-Cotton futures
opened steady at decline of 4 to 9
points on poor cables. Private messages
from Liverpool and Manchester expressed
doubt over the settlement Of the Ian
canshire labor troubles tomorrow and
stimulated selling. To some extent the
market was sustained by wet weather in
the western half of the cotton belt and
by the promise of colder weather to fol-
low. The long side was not aggressive,
but the market had strength of its own.
At the end of the first half hour of bust
ness the trading months were I points
down
AS the morning progressed. the market
was steadier and the supply of contracts
was hardly equal to the demand, al
though that was moderate While 1t
looked as IL prices would work above last

the British coal miners had votedd In
favor of a strike March / checked the
advancing tendency of the market by

pared with yesterdays close.
