married to Adams last Saturday In

Wolfe Mr.. and Mrs. Adams have al
ready separated and the bride AYERS
that she will not return to her hus-
band.
This shattered romance dates back
to last February at which time Adams
was a boarder at the Derrick home on
Springfield avenue, Clifton Heights.
At that time a dispute arose between
him and Mrs. Derrick, and Adams left

was any attachment between him and

paper which he asked her to read.
Surprised and trifie mystified Mrs
Derrick took the document and soon
ascertained that the paper was her
daughters marriage certificate and
that the girl had eloped and was a

the golden wedding ring upon the
hand OF her daughter and hurled It
across the street. The ring was later
found Mrs. Derrick did not scold her
daughter, at least at that time but she
said that she was grieved to think
that the girl had married Adams, a di-

Turning on the bridegroom she or

She also cut his lip with a blow in

spouse. The daughter announced thai
she was going TO stay with her mother

FIGHTING N BALKANS.
WAR NEWS STILL STORY OF UN.
IMPORTANT BRUSHES.
Important Battles, However, Are Said
to be lmminent-Stark Conflict Ex.
pected at AdrianOple.

London, Oct. 21.--War news still is
the story of comparatively uninter-
esting small engagements involved in
manoeuvering for position, while the
turkish and Balkan forces are assem-
bling and preparing for big events.
When the allied states declared war
1t was assumed Turkey had by no
means concentrated her troops. More
over Turkey still was hoping to de-
tach Greece from the confederation.
Her failure to do this undoubtedly
necessitated some change in the
strategic plans and she still needed
time to transport her troops to the
required positions, hence the falling
back Of the small Turkish garrisons
from numerous frontier posts is of no
great significance.
The Servian army 10 advancing
steadily and now has its headouar
ters at Vranya in the movement
against Uskup. The Greeks have CAP
tured Dissikata. from which position
the Turks retired to the town Of
Servia. where big battle is expected
shortly.
According to Constantinople re-
port, an important battle is imminent
at Adrianople. Meanwhile the rival
fleets are active, the Greeks blockad-
ing the island of Lemones and the
Turkish bombarding Kavarna and
Varna.
report Of the sinking of a Bull
garian torpedo boat is discredited at
ConstantinOple, where it is stated the
turkish warships in the Black sea
fired at torpedo boats. but the latter
took refuge in port, the warships not
venturing to follow for fear Of mines.
The Greek consul at Cardiff, under
instruction from his government, is
laying claim to all the Greek tonnage
entering that port. Every vessel so
commandered becomes the property
Of the Greek government and the
captain an officer Of the Greek navy.
Ship owners have requested the Brit
ish foreign office to protect them
against this procedure.

New York Market Opens Easier at

New York, Oct. 21.-An opening
loss was followed by almost a full re-
covery in the cotton market to-day
but the Improvement was barely main
tanned, and while the final tone was
| steady at an advance OF 2 points on
October. last prices were generally
lac points net lower.
The market started easier at a de-
cline Of 5a9 points under liquidation
by buyers OF late last week. who were
doubtless disappointed by the failure
OF the weather map to show any un-
favorable developments of Importance
over Sunday and by easier Liverpool
cables. Private advices claiming large
offerings Of actual and Continental SELL
Ing. tended to increase bearish conf
dence around the local ring, particu-
larly as the Continental selling was
supposed to reflect bearish view Of
affairs in the Balkans.
There was considerable buying for
e~~ONhs III thc lOCdl market,
however. while there was also little
support from some Of the leading spot
brokers and as soon as the weather
forecasts were published, prices work
ed up to within point or so of Satur-
days finals. After the close of Liver
pool had shut out arbitrage business,
the buying here became less active
and the market here was more or
less inactive.
Prices sagged of s or s points from
the best during the middle of the
day under liquidation by earlier buy
ers for turn. who found that frost
predictions for North Texas and Ok
lahoma had not stimulated outside
demand to any material extent, but
Southern selling here was not as
