Kkw York, Not. 34—Johann Graubanm, a native of Switzerland, wai • steerage passerffeer on the steamer Spaarndam, in port here. He waa accompanied by a young woman. There was something mysterious about the couple. It wits plain that they were neither brother aud sister nor husband and wife. They acted like lorers, though Graubaum was much older than the woman. When they were landed at the Barge Office they were questioned closely by Registrar SilberBteln. The girl gave her name as Aloislna Oeyerhoff. She said she and her companion Intended to marry as soon as they landed. Matron Strickland took the couple in charge, and advised them to get married beforo they left the Barge Office. They seemed willing enough, and were taken to the Leo Mission. Hero Pastor Geyer put the prospective bridegroom through a rigid cross-examination, under which Qraubaum broke down and confessed that ho was already a married man. He said ho had left his wifo in Switzerland and came away with the girl, with whom he declared he had fallen in love. They intended to marry and settle down in this country. The unfaithful husband and erring yonog woman were taken buck to tho Bargo Office, and will be detained pending further investigation. mo BLAZE AT MIDDLE BURY, VT.

T)R.J A.WALTER, PHYSICIAN AND SUROEON Dredging Season In Long Island Sonne Suddenly Ended By the Recent Storms. Bridgeport, Conn., Nov. 24.—Long Island Sound oystermen are greatly discouraged over the prospect of big lossos. The dredging season is probably at an end for many months to come The recent terrific storm is responsible fot it, and the aggregate loss will probably amount to several hundred thousand dollars. Generally the season ends with Borne storm which disturbs the mud in the bottom of the Sound and smothers the oysters. This year this was delayed until tho water was thoroughly chilled and it is feared the oysters have beon killed. If this prores to be true no oysters can be gathered until next spring's spawn matures, which will not be before tho mlddlo of July, even under the most favorable conditions. At tho station of tho Long Isl;. id Railroad, hard by, special trains cams in a 6 frequent intervals anil ilia charged cargoes of mon from Long Island .lity. The specials had tho right of way over everything on thu road, and the engtneers wero instructed to drivo their engines at the highest speed. Trains on the elevated railroads wore run at irregular intervals and on two of the lines tra flic was suspended altogether. In many of tho large business houses there was no water to run tbo elevator*. Fast-horses and special trains wero employed to got laborers to tho hcjiio of the accident. Tho authorites scoured in every direction for help. Foam flecked hors is dashed up bosida the open trench in Rldgawood in rapid succession, drawing wagons loaded with laborers. Thn Long Island Water Supply Company's main was connected with the Rldgewood pumping station and from this source Brooklyn received about 1,500,000 gallons of water a day. The Company is a private organization and is in no way connected with tha Brooklyn water works. They have their own customers and were only able to let lirooklyn have their surplus. This surplus and the water that was foroed from 123 drivoh wells around tho pumping station gavo lirooklyn 5,000,000 » day. The city's daily necessity is 60,- 000,000. On account of the lack of water all of the Ridgewood trains stopped running. A short while before noon tha bodies of the four men who wero burled ou Saturday wero reached and taken from tha trench. Most of the inhabftants on being notl fled by tho police filled thoir bath and wash tubs and all convenient vessels in their houses and tlio result was that soon there was no water beyond tho around floor in thn houses in Brooklyn and what little there was running there was soon diminished. All the manufactories and largo sugar refineries were compelled to ehut down, there being no water to supply the boilers. Tho bridge cars stopped running or only crossed at rare intervals, 1 elng drawn by a locomotive instead of by tin usual cable. The morning being wet and generally nncomfortablo caused a deal of inconvenience to those thousands of men and women who, to roach thoir places of business in Now York, wore compelled to tramp across tho bridge iu tho heavy rain. Demand For I.ubor«irs. Brooklyn, Nov. "I.—Tho order issued by the police department impressing upon the inhabitants of private dwellings and thn various manufactories ia the cl ty the necessity of hoarding what little water there was left In tho one supply reservoir until the break in tho conduit could be repaired, put the Brooklynites on their guard, and they suddenly began to realize that a water famine was at their door.

Albany, X. y., Nov. 24.—The police are more confident than ever that Mrs. T. J. Finnegan murdered hor husband, who was found dead Saturday morning. His head was crushed in at the base of tho skull, npparaitiy with a blunt instrument. The wif si'!1, that h-r husband had fallen over n rocking chair, and that ha would not allow her to ca'.l in a physician. Liter an axe was found nil the premises covered with biool an I hair, and npoii this evlie.ieu tho coroner ordered the arrest of .ttri. Finnegan. Hyland Carpenter established a shirt factory in Sarutoga last spring, employing a large number ot women and girls. For twelvo years previously ho had been in tho same business at North Hooslck, going thero from Vermont when about ?(3 years old. At that time he was Hue-looking, full of enterprise, had some money, and gave promiso of being able to accumulate more rapidly. He had not been at his new home long before ho became acquainted with Miss Annie Stevens, tho pretty young daughter of Samuel S. Stevens, a rich papermaker of North Hooslck, who lived in a line old mansion surrounded by handsome grounds on tho broad avenne loading to Hoosick Fa! Is Tho young people's acquaintance ripened speedily into love, with tho approval of tho Stevens family, and in September, 1880, Annie became Mrs. Hyland Carpenter. The young couple appeared greatly devoted to each other and seemed very happy. Tho bridegroom built a lino liouso near that of his father-in-law, and in the course of timo four cliildreu came to the Carpenters' homo. During all those years the two families were on terms of tho most familiar intimacy. According to Mr. Carpentor ho was induced by his father-in-law some two years ago to make heavy investments in mining stocks, which ended iu his losing $50,000. A coolness, amounting almubt to bitterness, sprang up botween Carpenter and his wife's father. Ho and his wife were still apparently happy however, and no shadow seemed to have been cast upon their domestic relations. About a year ago Mrs. Carpentor, whoso health had been impairod, was taken to Philadelphia by her husband to undergo treatment for tho removal of tumors. As she would be there some time she was permitted to have her children with her, and during her sojouru there her husband visited her sevetal times. As soon as slio was cured it was arranged that she should return homo, but instead of doing so she stopped at Lansingburg with some relatives. When Mr. Carpenter learned that his wife was there ho went with ail haste to see hor and take hor homo. On his arrival his wife gave him a most cold and informal groetiug, and declined to have an Interview with him except in presence of her mother; neither would she accompany him to their North Hoosick homo. At a later time when she met her husband at a hotel in Troy for a conference and explanation according to agreement, she was attendod by a malo relative, who positively refused to leave the couplo alona in the room together. Mrs. Carpenter soon after went witli her children to the home of her father in North Hoosick, where they now are, while Mr. Carpenter removed his hojne and business to Saratoga. S 0,1 afterward papers in divorce proceeding were served upon him by his wife's attorney, In which the forewoman in Mr. Carpenter's shirt factory !s mada co-respondent. Now Mr. Carpenter has brought suit against his father-in-law for $1U0,- 000 damages for alienating his wife's affections. As both sides have ample means the legal contests promise to be long and hotly fought. It is said that when Mrs. Carpenter first manifested jealousy of tho fore woman she was discharged. This was when tho factory of Mr. Carpenter was at North Hoosick. When tho business wps removed to Saratoga she was rainstated, and is there at work at present. Ai.bany, Nov. 2-1.—Two suits, one for absolute divorce on the part of the wife and tho other brought by the husband to recovor $100,000 for tho alionation of his wife's affections, are exciting a good deal of lively comment just now among the residents of North Hoosick and Saratoga.
