NEW YORK, May 22.—A case of domestic infelicity that came before Judge Vas Voorst yesterday contains sume points of interest for the prospective partners of divorced persons. A man from whom a divorce had been obtain- ed by his wife was sued by said wife for a portion of his income.

It was resolved to organize an association forthe pur- pose of employing labor, furnishing to working people and _ providing homes and ete tan ou agriculture, manufacturing, and such commercial business as may be found necessary to the accomplishment of the desired object. The capital of the associa- tion isto the amount of $200,000, dived into shares of $10 each. MURDER TRIALS. Four alleged murderers are ontrial in this vicinity. Inthe Smith trial in Jersey City the evidence has closed and the District t Attorney began his argument against the prisoners. He declared Bennett and Mrs. Smith hada sufficient motive for the murder of her husband, andargued that their conduct was such as was to be expected from persons who committed the deed. Ed- ward Reinhart, whois accused of killing his wife and of burying the remains in a barrel at Silver Lake last fall, is on trial. A colored man, Jacob Romer, is arraigned at Hacken- sack, N.

Avip Davis, law partner and intimate fricen@of Abraham Lincoln, and for tifteen years a Republican Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, puts the issue thus pithily in a recent letter: One of the grievances of which our fore- fathers complained was that the Hing had quartered troops on them and sought by mil- lary power to coerce them into submission. It is little less than public seandal, after a century of national existence, that any party could venture to ask the people’s approval of a species of turanny that is forbidden in Eng- fand and wherever else the parliamentary priveiple is respected.

J : TWO WORDS. Two short and simple words explain the object and aim of the Republican party, explain the radical change in the funda- mental principles of politics wrought by Republican rule. What is the object of a political party from the Republican standpoint? What the first duty of the President, the Cabinet, the Administration or party leaders generally? Is it to preserve peace and promote pros- perity throughout the land? Is it to administer the laws of the land with honesty and economy? Is it to restore a real union and national feeling among all sections, by restoring love of country and patriotism? Is it by observing the cardinal doctrine that this is a common country, with com- | mon interests and a common destiny, with perfect equality between all the States and all the people, regardless of the points of the compass ? Of course, to ask these questions is to answer them. No such idea ever enters the minds of the Republican ‘‘statesmen’”’ of to-day. With sectional hatred as the starting point of every political move, they all lead to but one single object. It is to preserve power. Iiow can this power be preserved? Only by a solid North. And so the indirect object, aim and end of every Republican speech or step, of every veto and every address and every Republican policy or editorial, is a solid Norta. ; These two simple words are the key to | everything that has been done and will be done from this till the day of the presi- dential election in 1880. There is but object, and that is to preserve power, and one there is but one way to aceomplish that ob- | ject, and that is through a solid North. But the plot will fail. Twenty years of power will be enough. THE LAST FAILURE. The miserable story of mismanagement, wreck and ruin in the handling of the ffds of the thrifty poor is repeated to-day in our account of the suspension of the Broadway Savings Bank. sounds like a farce to recall the general im- | pression that the bank was sound and well managed, and that its directors enjoyed the | confidence of the community. All banks are sound and well managed as long as they are managed at all, and all directors enjoy | the confidence of the community as long as they are able to handle the deposits of the fair community.

A Substitute for Chromos. {From the London Globe. ] It is generally supposed that the Americans are peculiarly ingenious in devising novel methods for providing support to a new jour- nal. We doubt, however, if the keenest com- patriot of Sam Slick has ever hit upon a plan so original as that which has sprung from the brain of Herr Miarka, the proprietor and ed- itor of Der Katholik, a new religious serial in Upper Silesia. He announces in the thir- | teenth number that he has just received from Rome, and has brought with bim a quantity of earth from the graves of the holy martyrs and several packets of seeds and cuttings of plants from the garden of the Vatican. He engages thatevery person who subscribes to his periodical for a year shall receive a small portion of this relic-earth, the value of which may be guessed from the saying of Boldetti, who asserts that the whole soil of Rome has been interpenetrated with the miracle-work- | ing blood of the Christian martyrs by which it | was formerly stained. Persons who subscribe | for a number of copies, or who procure | subscribers, will be able to obtain a larger share of Herr Miarka’s precious imports— | seeds from plants which were touched by the | late Pius [X., and earth out of the cata- combs. Herr Miarkais alsothe editor and | publisher of a religious almanac, and he | promises to give to every person who pur- | chases the calendar for 1879 some of the most | sacred of all earth, that which St. Helena brouzhtfrom Golgothato Rome. We are rather surprised to learn that the present Pope, who seems to be no such friend of reli- ious sensationalism as his (eomammenped was, as also promised his special blessing to those Silesians who take in Herr Miarka’s newspa- per.

Positive Certainty of a Strike in July. Distorted Views of a Street Car Con- ductor. A Roclialist’s Wife on the Sit- uation. The coming strike, as ventilated by the POST-DISPATCH, has been the topic of a hun- dred conversations to-day and yesterday. While considerable incredulity is expressed by some, others, who have more exact infor- mation, are convinced that there is indeed something in it. The programme of the Trades Union As- sembly, which was not, perhaps, plainly enough indicated yesterday, is said to be this: Onthe Fourth of July, as all the world knows, there is tobe a grand demon- stration ofthe laboring men in every large city of the Union. There is tobe a parade and amass meeting, a monster petition to Congress is to be fixed up, and hundreds of thousands of signatures aflixed toit, praving for the passage of the eight-hour law. This done, they claim that it is then their business to strike until their demands are acceeded to. WORK WILL CEASE really on the 3d of July, for they will not re- turnonthe 5th. Andthey claimthat it is their duty to restrain all trom working,as that is the only means by which the strike can be made effective. A reporter had rather a long conversation with a street car conductor yesterday who is known to be in the confidence of the ‘‘dan- gerous element.’’ He was one of the most eloquent stump- epeakers in the Pittsburg riots, and, while he has kept very quiet since his advent to St. Louis, he is trusted in Eastern circles of the fraternity. **What do you think are the chances for funin July?*’ asked the reporter in a tenta- tive and insinuating style. **Oh, I think there’ll be some fun, if the boys work it up right. They say there is going to be _ the biggest strike that ever was known, but I doubt the power of the class in this countryto get up a successful strike. In England we work thething very theroughly. You see we have Trades-Unions there which really amount to something, We are not organized here as we ought to be.’’ **Still you mean to try conclusions, do you not?’’ ‘*Oh, ves: we are, of a stance, we can’t be any worse off than life I lead, for and see how pleasant you think it.

A reporter’s ways being as devious as they are different, it was no wonder thatthe scribe should run across a Socialist’s wife. She was a petite, pretty and practical woman, and spoke in a most intelligible way about Social- ism and the brilliant possibilities of the future for the sans-culvuttes of St. Louis. The reporter met her at rear door of an up-town red-light saloon, and at her own iuvitation went in and set upthe beer. There was an Assommoir-like air of romance about the thing, and the newspaper adventurer, anx- ious to know what was behind the veil, gave himself up to more than his virtuous inclina- tions generally allowed. Ile went in and treated the woman tothe beer. She ex- plained that she was not at home, but ougbt to be, and was carrying the banner because her husband was doing the same thing somewhere else. She said he had devoted the greater part of his taleuts of re- cent days to staying out late at nights, and while he was not of a drinking disposition there appeared to be some inviting things go- ing on away from home that were of quite an alluring character. What it was she had not the nearest idea of.

School. - = —_— Peculiarity of Dress---The Ladies’ Long Struggle for Practice. When it was first ascertained that women’s rights had invaded the dissecting-room and was diving into the mysteries of anatomy, physics and pharmacy, a kind of involuntary horror arose in the masculine mind in con- templating this innovation on the tender sen- sibilities that are supposed to animate all re- fined women. The SCALPEL IN THE HANDS of a woman was 4 matter far beyond the reach of even female fanaticsa—they might clamor for the privilege of voting, for legal equality ino eourts, equal marital right, but, thought un- suspecting man, corpses and blood will keep them from ever attempting to make doctors of themselves. In this, however, man has been mistaken, and women are clamoring as loudly to be admitted to medical colleges as they are to be allowed to and in this age of ation, inquiry and transition , can almost be said with safety that withina few years women physicians, graduates of medical colleges, will be quite numerous. To ascertain the progress and prospects of the practice, a Post-DispatTcn reporter called upon Mrs. 8S. W. Dodds, M. D., and Mary Dodd, M. D., at their residence, No. 2826 Washington avenue. Mrs. 8S.

And now some ever-particular person may want to know what tbe color of the dog has to do withit, which is easily explained. There is more ‘‘yelp’’ inan ounce of yellow dog than in a ton of dog of any other color. In orderto secure your y.d. you must be very observing, and find out at what negro cabin one can be found. Then, when the occupants of the homestead are away in the field, you must get the y. d. the best way you can—always taking good care the y. d. don’t getyou. Putarope around his neck and abduct him to some lake where alligators are known to congregate. You will. of course, have had the foresizht to provide yourself with a rifle before this inter- esting stage bas been reached. You must then fasten your y. d. to a log or sapling some four or five yards from the water’s edge; then make oneend of a strong cord fastto the dog’s tail and carry the other witb you to some convenient log a little distant, behind which you camambush yourself. Your novel machine is then in working order, and proper manipulation is all that is necessary io the suc- cess of the scheme. Now you give your end of the string several vigorous jerks, until you hear a series of agonizing velps at the other end. Then you can appreciate the dog’s color. When you have got your dog well warmed up to the work, just glance out on the water; if there are any ‘gators there, you will see them making rapidly ina bee-line for the bait. It is a sure thing; never knew it to fail. They will emerge from the water and make slowly and surely for that y. d. with wide-open jaws. Then is the time for you totake an active part in the pro- gramme. If not too nervous about that time. you can easily shoot the foremost reptile and others will take fricht and flounder back into the water. The first time I tried this admir- able plan it did not end quite so auspiciously as I could desire. I got my dog ail right enough, and got his voice pitched to the right key, while lL crouched behind a stump ready to shoot the first ‘gutor that made his appear- ance.

The dress had ceased to be a novelty and It was locomotion, and and comfortable every way. Like all innovations, it was a victim to undeserved burlesque and condemnation, and prejudice, but it had lived it all down,and the time was not far distant when the dress would be adopted by the women ef the coun- try. Both doctors, as they repudidte the term **doctress,’’ said that the objection to lady physicians was fast dying out.

[From the London Globe. 1 All the world ha. heard of the eccentric dis- taste of King Ludwig, of Bavaria, for pub- licity, especially in the theater. His passion- ate love of the drama, and his excellent judg- ment upon it and its ahied arts—its poetry, | equally matters of Munich musie—are A citizen scenery and of notoriety. Says ' he has not seen the King ina theater since | 1868, when he sat alone in the roval box at the | lirst representation of the **Rheingold,’’ and watcbed the sporting of the water-nymphs in the green flood of the Rhine. Since that time King Ludwig has become still more shy of society, and he now arranges for separate representations of plays and operas, at which he constitutes the whole and sqle audience. On such evenings even bis manager, Baron von Perfall, dares not show nimself in the house, but 1s compelled to watch the perform- ance from behind the scenes. Of the actors and actresses in these secret performances the King is severely critical. His favorite play, Schiller’s *‘Jungfrau von Orleans,’’ is now never acted, because His Majesty cannot find any actress who renders the part of Joan of Are to bis satisfaction, although the decora- tions for the separate presentations of this drama have been produced at enormous ex- pense of time, talent and gost. The King himself journeyed to Rheims in order to se- cure that the scenery for the coronation in the Cathedral of Rheims should be aeceurate and faultless, andthe view of the interior of the cathedral is said to be a masterpiece of deco- rative painting. The coronation procession also has been arranged with a rare magnifi- cence, wealth and ‘fidelity to costume in the smallest detail, and yet, on account of the ex- acting criticism of King Ludwig, it is never jaced upon the stage. He has lost none of uis amiability for artists. and when a scene- painter or actor has specially pleased him he rewards him with gifts of unusual valuc. Such a life isa strange contrast to the active pubticity of our own royal house, and, in- deed, to that of all the other sovereign Princes within the German Empire. siienlichiishdiatidliadihiltestiniascaliaiin Ratiocination.

The suspension of the Broadway Savings Bank struck the city this morning likea flash of lightning. The Board ot Directors held a long meeting last night, and shortly before 12 o’clock they resolved that the doors should not be opened at the usual hour to-day. No- tices to that effect were written o1t and handed to the morning papers; consequently the people mostly interested got the bad news be- fore breaktast this morning. There had not been an intimation in the general business community that the bank was in a failing con- dition. along commanded a good price. It was sup- posed that there was no sater monetary insti- tutioninthecity. Its affairs were always re- ported to be managed with economy and thrift and the list of depositors was quiteex- tensive. The bank was atarted in 1866, the capital stock ,being originally $300,000, but was ufterwards reduced to $150,0V0 paid up. It bas done a prosperous business and, ot lata, has veen the depository of the School Fund, Mr. J. Philip Krieger, Jr., being the Treasurer of the School] Board.

He would not give permission to have the list published just as it was, but itis sufficient to say that seven of the directors have no money on deposit, and at least two of them had over- drawn from afew hundreds up to over $3,000. This wasa very remarkable reveletion, and the public can draw its own conclusions. itis probable that there will be some very sensational developments. The State law makesitacrime for the directors to take de- ,OSits when they believe the bank to vVein a ailing condition.

More Contests To-Day. Two - = — Notes of the Day’s Sport at the Jockey Club Grounds. While the weather this morning was slightly threatening, a large crowd assembled to see the third day of the shooting at the Jockey Club grounds. There were no ladies present, the fair sex apparently not approving of the columbine slaughter. The same parties that were bere yesterday have again put in an ap- pearance to-day, and the handsome school from Terre Haute and the sharp-looking ‘*Mrs. Partington’’ circulated among the marquees, THE FIRST SHOOT hoped to pay out in full, and that he might | Krieger is perhaps deserving | It appears | dollar Pete lost three or four | slung | without | the attorney a | | ed some time ago and is a | assaulting, fighting of the day was for purse No. 7, class shooting, twenty-one yards. The entries were: Barker, Erb, Leland, Morrinan, Partington, Francke, Tucker, Prichard, Wesley, Mack, Tunstall, Miller, Hall, Scales, Henry, Werk, Starke, Lu- cas, Hasfurther aniSands. Tue shooting was very fine and the men all appeared to be in ex- cellent trim for the shoot. The first money was carried off on a draw score by Jo. Lucas, which was just $71 25 in that gentleman's amp!e pocket. Ties for the secend place were shot off be- tween Messrs. Erb, Leland, Tucker, ber“ Tunstall, fHeary and Werk which was won Mr " Tunst: ull and amounted to $42 75. Tue third mone y, $28 50, was won by Mr. Hasfurther. The POOL SELLING on this shoot was extremely lively, Dick Roch auctioneering them off as readily as hot cakes. On the first diy there was practically no poo)-seliing. Everybody was saving his money for entries inthe shoot, but the fortu- nate result ota few hits started others, and — there is hardly timetotake inthe money. Vv. W. Judy, the game seller, is buying up *.. birds as fast as the V ule shot, and probably making some little money out of it. A visit to the tents where the coops were showed evident signs of the siaughter. The wind has been from the noi theast since the match began, and a long tuil of feathers extends to the southwest from the coop tent. Kvery little while a new batch of victims is broughtin, and they eoo and flatter in happy unconsciousness of their impending fate. It certainly looks hard to see the trap sprung andthe tame bird thrown up into the air, mangled with just shot enough not to kill it, but to make it suffer much as possible. Sometimes the birds fiy right to their slayers’ feet and die there or have their heads wrung off either by the sportsman or his African henck- man. in THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT very few birds have pot completeiy away with their lives. kven when they were compietely missed the poor things were so tame that they flew right among the waiting boys and were speedily torn to pieces, or mashed under some hulking negro’s awkard foot. Pigeon shooting is A very cruel sport taken at its best. While there may be some excuse for other forms of gentlemanly diversion, to butcher these poor, spiritless creatures, Which tly a few vards and alight, is no fun. One-half of the birds might be caught by the marks- men and their heads chopped off with never a shot fired, and yet this is sport. The entries for the second purse were ag fol- lows: Sands,leland,Merriman,trancke,Kieinman, Sciiaal, Werk. Prichard, Tucker, Tunstall, Erb, Starke, Magee, Henry, burker, Hasfar- ther, Purtington. Itis » two hundred dollar rurse, andtbe chances are that young Erb will take first money. One noticeable fact is the way in which the three gentiemen from the Mobile Gun Ciub hang together.¢ They have entered every shoot, and always in the sane order: Prichard, Tucker, Tunstall, the latter gentleman being their crack shot and one of the very best warksmen onthe grounds. ‘Lhe programme for to-morrow's shooting is >No. 10—$200; class shooting; 5 double -2s yards rise; $5 entrance. »~NO. 11—Class shooting: 10 single birda; “ao yards mse; $10 entrawce (free tor all Purse No. 12—5 single bir 13; 25 yards; and out; winner to pay for birds.

Mr. Jumes Cari, one of tie attorneys nterested in the investigation, stated that hiinselt end other counsel appe ired for a who objected to Mr. Fisher’ Inst settiement. They weretryingto pet into Mr. Fisher’s accounts, und that gentleman was seeking to prevent an investigation and was throwing all the Obstacles in the way thathe possibly could. The counsel in the case were oficers of the court and attorneys of recordin thecase and theinvestigation had lasted several Gays. It was not the referee wi 0 wanted to KUOW their authority for appearing—he had cecided the question as irrelevant—Dbutit was the counsel on the other side.

The war between the St. Louis Street Rail- road Company and the South St. Louis Street Railroad Company, which has kept the Legis- lature in a turmoil, in the form of the ‘‘ Dryden bill,’’ during the greater part of the session, hes been renewed in a new form inthe St. Louts courts. To-day Mr. 8.I. Galt, as counsel for the St. Louis Railroad Company, appear- ed before Judge Thayer and asked that the Scuth St. Louis Street Railroad Company LC RESTRAINED AND ENJOINED from constructing its road any further north- ward, and also thatit be prohibited from ope- rating the line already constructed. The Seuth St. Louis road is an extension of the old Caron- delet street railroad, and is now completed as tar north us Cerre street ,and its objective poiut is Sixthand Market streets. The St. Louis Rail- road Company Claims that unaer the law of 1860 au street railroad cannot be constructed on par- allel streets within three streets of an existing road, and that the South St. Louis street rail- road runs in the forbidden district about two miles, from Eighth and Arsenal toits northern terminus. The Ccurt was asked to grant a temporary injunction until the merits of the cuse could be examined into. Judge Louis Gottschalk uppeared for the South St. Louis Railroad Company and asked that no immediate action be taken, but that the matter be postponed to some future time, whenthe Court could hear argu- ments on the application. Some little discussion ensued,when the Court announced that the case would be postponed until next Tuesday, when arguments would be heard. A proceeding somewhat similar was institut- now pending in the courts. KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, Procession and Services To-D: 1y--The Ruute and Order of March.

R. CINCINNATI, O., May 22.—A dispatch from Akron, O., says on Wednesday the 28th, the Court of Common Pleas of Summit county, in which most of the extensive suits against the A. and G.W. Ry. Co. have been brought, will be asked foran order for the sale of the road and the discharge of the receiver, Gen. J. H. Devereaux, of Cleve- land. This favorable outcome is the result of recent negotiations in England and the United States. Itis believed that the road will be urchased for the bondholders and then eased to the New York, Lake Erie and Western Road. Should there be any opposition §to the sale it will probably come from McHenry and the Franco-Egyptian Bank, the latter being creditors. Charged With Forgery, By Western Associated Press.
