The father was a spiritualist, and the young people were married In the I'nltarlan Church by the Rev. Mr Barnes. Three children were born to them, but of late th* two have not got along to gether very well, so the young man asked ihe ecclesiastical court pf tha Catholic Church lo annul the marriage on th# ground that both eontractlng parties being Catholics, the ceremony was nut per formed t>efore rompetent authorities.

Sept, 4. 1400. SPIRITS TI'RPENTINE—The turpen tine market closed firm to-day at M cents, with th* market fairly well cleaned up at this price. The Standard Oil Company was the big purchaser, taking 3.219 casks, which were reported aold at tha opening call The effect of these tales was to Im part considerable strength to the eltuallon. and will enable factors to get the down ward tendency of the market under better -ontrol While factors were relieved of . onstderable stuff. It wa* not understood that all the day's receipts were taken The receipts were 2.398. sales 3.279 ami the ex port# 15. ROSINS—The rosin market went off 5 cent# to-day on 1 and above, at which the market was firm. There was a fair de mand for rosins, but It wa# not such as to Impart r. great deal of atrength to the market. The current Impression was that the weakness shown by the decline wa# temporary, nnd would be followed by a re action. The receipts were 9,567. sales 839 at the opening call, and 7 93b at th* dos ing call, when the decline* were posted The following were the quotations: A. B.

Raaar Jumps on the Eve of a Divi dend. New York. Sept. 4.—Th* fever tn Amer ican Sugar Reflnlng stock, which ho# been undergoing a proeewa of careful nursing for several weeks past, broke Into a crisis to-day, as Is not unusual on the eve of dividend action on this stork. For sev eral weeks there wa# extensive buying of sugar stock, but the manipulation to advance the price which accompanied the buying aroused the suspicions of the sapient profeoalonale who turned hear#. To-day there was a rumor that the dtrec. tor* had determined to put th* atock dn an annual dividend basis of 8 per cent. by declaring n quarterly dividend of 2 per cent, to-day. and the bear# ran the stock up 64 point# wMh rhelr eager de mand* for l.onn. l.fiOO. and 2.000 share lo:s. The price eagged off a point, but stiffened again to about the best at the close This buoyant rise In Sugar helped some of tha other specialties which had been under pressure In the morning, the early decline* In Brooklyn Rapid Transit. s!*n hattan and Metropolitan being mors th.ia recovered. People's Ga* also, avhieh earn-# next to Sugar in point of activity, recov ered a point of It* 24 point break, hut fell awav again In the final dealing# The war of gas rates in Chicago accounted for Its weakness. American Steel and Wlra also got back to the top at 14* over Fri day's price after |t# early movement htd apparently proved abortive. Th* steel group as a whole, failed to resfnnd and In Tennessee Coal and National Steel there •a* not a single sale during the .lay The same was true of Rock Island, and th.. railroad list a* a whole continued much neglected There was #otn* firmness here, nnd there tn the railroad llat. notably in the Southwestern and Southeastern groups. There wa* no indication, however, of any general awakening from th* re cently prevailing speculative apathy, and the new# of the day found no reflection In the stock market.
