Stnocar than all the talos of the
pjlaoaicgi by tho BjiRias, and sur-
paMlog all stories of death pacts by
disappointed sweethearts are the dr-
eomstano ’S surrounding the death at
Paterson, N of Mae Agnes Mor
ton, | young wcmin of nineteen, wbc
a month after the death of her ruitor,
James Boucher, by bis own hand, fell
a victim to the dead mao, a murderer
In death.
Only bis surpassing belief In tbe
wonderful power of the young wo
man's love for him could have Inspired
the far-reaching plot and sent tbe
young man to his grave ooufl Jent that
his sweetheart, Inaccent of any inten
tion upon her own life, but trusting
in the (filoacy of tho potion bo had
laft with her at their sad parting,
would soon follow him to tbe land 01
the abadow.
Toe church haa set Its seal upon
tho verdict of murder against tbe
young man, acquitted Miss Morton of
the charge of suicide, although she
oonfeasedly died of poison administer
ed by her own band, and permitted
her body to be laid at rest in const-
orated ground.
It was the law of the R >man Oath
olio Ohoroh which forbids the burial
of tbeaelf-alaln in consecrated ground,
Invoked In tfcls cue on bebalf of M sa
Morton, that brought to light tbe re
markable story of love, suicide and
post mortem murder. In a spies if
five weeks the plot was formed ana
made complete in the duel tragedy.
Miss Morton, well connected and
socially prominent, who lived with
her father, Alt zander Morten, at No.
IS Madison street, met, some montns
ago, James & usher, a young man of
excellent ato*try, tho nephe* of Dr
William A. Norval, cf No. 381 Mali
st*eot, a member of tho Bjar^ o
Freeholders. The young man anc
woman became sweethearts, but foi
some reason there was otj ction to
tbetr marrylrg on the part of Mias
M rion’B family, and after the cpp>'
sitlon to their courtship had oontiL-

Half of the diaeaaes from which mankind

headache, th se pains in tne joints aud muscles
that tired feel ng, are all caused by poisons in
the blood. The reason Rheumatism, t-ciatica
and GouL cannot be cureq oyrabbing with lin-
aments and oils is that the disease originate*
in the blood, and an internal di House cannot be
cured by an externa remedy.
RHEUMACIDE is he most powerful blood
purifler in the world. RHEUM ACIDE ‘goes
right to the seat of the disease,” sweeping-ail
the p i*f>na.out of the blood, toning up the
stomach, regulating thJ liver and kidneys, aqd
restoring stub organ of the body to its normal
functions. This Is the reason it cures to stay
