Married Grandson Proves Valid Under New Jersey Law
In New Jersey a chancery court ruled a marriage between a widow and her late husband’s grandson valid under current law. The decision, by Vice Chancellor Van Fivete, held the union not void though prohibited by church law, and valid until dissolution by a competent court. The case involved property after the husband’s death and rent disputes, with the priest having warned it was void.

A Workman's Fortitude in Gas Stove Blast
Carpenter Jan Myers faced a deadly gasoline stove explosion while laboring on a building at Bataimong July 27. He bore the burning fuel on his shoulders, running into the street and then away from the flames to save the house, suffering severe burns to back arms feet. Bystanders doused him and the scene turned grisly as blood streamed from his injuries with little chance of recovery.

Trade prospects mixed as banks tighten lending
R G Dun & Co reports the week’s trade outlook shows general improvement with crop prospects rising and factory activity steady. A large foreign demand looms, but a dry goods failure and a major import house liabilities shake lenders in several cities. Cotton and iron show strength, coal remains weak, and interior business holds up while fall trade may open slower.
