About nosn yesterday Tue TRinuxx office was notitied from the American Distriet Tele- eraph Company’s office, over its telephoue, that n connection was to be made between Chlcago and Indianapolls, and that, by lstening, some- thing of interest might be licard. 8o a report~ cr put the vlione to his ear and kept it there to s profit and interest for the space of uenrly an bour. ‘The connection was made between the American District Telegraph office in this city, that of Col. Wilson of the Puliman Palace Car Company, and one or two others in this city, nud that of Mr. Smith, in charge ot the Indian- opolls oflice, The performauce began by the storting of a musicbox In the Indlanapolis ofifue, which was henrd with siogular distinct- ness In this city, notwithstanding the lenath of the line (210 miles), and notwithstanding the fact that the wirc used runs on the same poles with haif-n-dozen others, a numbor of which rere In use for regular telegraphic business ot the time, Owing to the weather, the wind, aml gome other causes. the fuductlon was great, but thers was no Jifficulty about the hearing, Af- ter the music had exhnugted Its capacity to three gentlemen {n’ the Indianapolis of- csars, Morelll and David und Thomas . tuneil their melodious nipes und favored the nsscmbled wudience of a dozen or so fudi- viduals withi varfous songe, which wero raptur- ously recelved, although withbut the customar; clapping of hands und stamping of feet which accumpany an- encore, ‘Vlien came a scattering couversation, participated In by Mr. Firman, Mr, Smith, of Iudlanapolls, ~ Mr. Jowett, of the -Pullman DP'alace Car Combpany, and varlous other gentlemen. During the course of the confab, one of the gentlemen succeeded In fdentifying u long-lost nephew at the Indianapolis ofllce, and affectionato em- Lraces and Invitations to take a drink were ex- changed fo rapid successlon, Asthe dinver- hour drew on, the various participants, after in- viting onc another to come and shure a turkey with them, dropped off, und the Ludlanapolis ind Chlcago oftices fell fnto a private confab, which lasted thie Lord knows how luog. The experiment was not quite as zood us one on the preceding Sundov, partly dus to the fact that anly onie induction-coil was used at Indianapo- 1ls “instead of three, a8 on the previous ocea- slon. But the clesrness and dlstinctness of human volces, and of muslcal tooes, coming over so long o stretch of wire under such adverse circumstances, were romarkable. All that {s wanting now is a slight adantation of the hearlng phone, so that a “cnou doesn’t bave to hold it in his haud, but may putit agalnst his cars and then Lie can placidly short hund what is called out from the other end. Then the shorthand-writer at Bpringfleld will rend off his notes to another reporter at Chl- cugo, who will quietly procecd to transcribe them in the home oflice, and the odivus tele- Kraph tolts will be avolded.

CHICAGO. AR IMPORTANT DIVORCE DRCISION, Tn the divoree caso of Mary C. Stoddart va. Armat Stoddart, Judee Moore Saturday render- cd adeciston of considerable fmportance on the law of divoree for desertfon. Ho holds that where the scoaration Is liy consent, or at least not without some intention of returning, ft is not auch o desertion within the meaning of the statute as entitles the party deserted toa di- voree, ‘The opinlon gives some wholesome fnstruction on the question, and the stelet posl- tlon taken by the Judee will do much 1o relieve Chicago from the stigma under which 1t atll] tahors, of being the parndiso of divorce-seckers, Withfn the pnst ihrec or four years the Judges, by scveral rulings and declslons, liuve narrowed the opportunities of getting dl- vorues here, and by insistior on strict proof, and compelling open triats and full notes of evldence, have lessened the chances ol fraud and perjury in a very marked degree. The fol- lowing {s substantially the wholeof the de- cision, orlitting only some repetitions and quo- tatlona: ‘Thie bill In this case in apt words charges that ‘¢ the defenannt, Armat Stoddart, has willfuily deserted or absented himeelf from the com- plainant, Mary C. Stoddart, without any rea- sonablo causc, for the space of two years.! This chargo, If sustnined by the evidence, en- titles the complainant toa decree. Notwith- standing the fact that thereisa detault on the part of the dofendant, the statuto further provides *that in no caso shall the Court grant o divorce. . , , unless the cause of divorco has been fully provea by rolla- Dble witnesscs.” In this case the testimony of the complalnant is fully corroborated by other relia- ble witnesses, 8o that the casc may be consider- ed ns sho presents it in her bill and lier own evidence, Sho says the she and the defondant “geparated Jan. 1, 1670, and that he left her; that by went to seck employment in Philadel- phia; that he had never contributed to the sup- port of his wife and thelr threo childrens that she, afded by her mother and the uncle of her husband, had supported the family; that she corresponded with her husbund and expressed o willingness to go back to him if he would give her auy visiblo means of support for hersell and their children? that he was anxious to have her live with him, and at the samo time prom- fsed that ho would take cage of her und the children, but always falled to do 8o, und those promiscs sho listened to for so many years that she (inally could not trust him, and could not devend on what he saltd, It was the same old story year after year, that thero was no sct time when ho should return, when ho left her, fle knows thst if he was willing to take care of her and her children she would be wiiling to live with him. ‘This I8 the case nresented for consideration, The word *descrt! ineans *to part from,” ¢ to end a connection with, *to nlluudeu‘” ‘*to for- rake,” ** to leave without permisalon,” *to for- sake in violation of duty.” Hut the word * sep- arate *' means ‘'t part from cach other.” The very idea of o descrtlon s to leave without con- sent of the other and in violation of duty. Bur a separntion fmplics the consent of both pertis to be affected theroby. Our statute mekes de- sertton o causo of divorve, Ju other Btutes [t 1s provided that living apart without cohabltation fur u perlod of years is o cnuae of divoree, ‘Flis 18 the cuso ln Kentucky, But abandontnent by otie party of the other is thera mado n cause of diverce ‘to the party not in fault. Thus it ls scen that the statutes in thut dtate muke n broad snd eclear distinction between *llviug apart” and “abandonment,” 4 Desortlon® and “abanddnment ™ are different words to ex- press the sane thing. From theso covsfdern- tiona it s readily scen that **desertion,” In di- vorce luw, {8 the voluntary separation of ouc of the married parties from’ the other, or the vol- untary retusal to renew a suspended cohabita- tiow, Without justilication either in the consent or the wrongful conduct of the other, [Blshop on Marriae nid Divoree, §77th] From what hos been ‘sald, it fs clear that on the part of the defendant there must be the futention to desert.

But if she died without disposing of it, 1t was to ga to hls helrs-at-law, She cutered foto possession of the estate, sold a portion, and ut her death, in 1866, she stlll owned a Jot 80 feet front ou the east slde of State strect, 80 feet south of Mudlson atreet, which bad como to her from her busband. She left o will by which sha de- vised afl her real und personal estate to two liy- lng daughters, Mrs, Albee and Mrs. Roach, and to some chlldren of n deceased daughter. They thersupon touk posseasion, nud beld it fur two or three 8, when the heire-at-law of Absalom Funk bega it in ejectiocut to revover pos- sesslon of the Statu strect lot, on the grouud that Mrs, Funk had not disposed of it duriug herglitethne, uud that conscquently {6 went (o her Lusbaud's helrs, accordlui 1o the terms of bis will. ‘These hews consisted of Drothers und {slaters und the descendauts of deceased brothers und sisters, amountiog to 235 {o all.

Spectal Disvateh lo The Tribune. 3 OrTAWA, Jan. 26,—The attendance 'at the Dominlon Botrd of Trado this year was amaller than usual. The Prosluce of New Brunswick had not a single represcntative present. Mr, Iy White, delegate from Montreal, In the course of his remarks on the Domliunjon fmmigration volley, advocated the old scheme of "the con. struction of the Canada Pacific Rallway by linnding the works over to a company, together with certaln subsidics. % The Government will, at the approaching ses- ston of Parllament, propose the appropristion of asutnof money sufficiently large to defray the expenses of sending a Commirslon to the Sydncy (Now South \Wales) International Ex- hibition, which opens in August pext. As all the goods which arc intended to be exhibited must Le shipped at Montreal by the 1st ot March next, it will be too lato for the Qovern- ment to request exhibltors to take port in the Exhibition after the approprintion has been wade, Therefore, In accordance with the prager of the Dominion Board of Trade for immediate action, a circular will at once be Issued request- ing Canadian manufacturers to make cxhibits. A significant action of the Boardof Trade, which forcshadows a breach in the ranks of the Trotectionlsts, was the practical refusal of tha Board to recommena the Government to protect the coal and iron Industrics of Nova Scotls, A resolution submitted by a delegate from Hall- fax, asking thut Nova-Scotia coal-miners. and fron-manufacturers should be given a homo market, was withdrawn because of the opposi- tion of the majurity of the Ontario delezates, A delegate from Toronto ridiculed the fdea that a modurate duty on cosl wauld enable Nova- scotla coul 1o competo with the American pro- duct 1n Western Untario; and stated thatit would be unjust to Impose a tax on Ontarlo ‘which could not benefit Nova-Scotia coal, The mattor was temporarily zut over by o delegato proposing a vague smendmont, requesting the Government to do thefr best todevelop. the iron und cosl industries, but omitting oll referenco to a homu market. This’ amendment was adopted. "The Aistlilers ore apparently much alarmed at the linposition of the threatened duty on corn. Leading alstillers in Ontarlo have Leen busjly preparing, sinco the elections In September, fur achunge in the tarifl. . Before navization clgsed, vessel after vessel laden with corn wera engaged discharging their cargoes at Collingwood, aud all theavailable warchouse-room at that place has been occupjed.

The Ilon, James Skead, who was elected TPresident of the Dominfon Board of. Trade, bas not only been a delegate since its nauguration, ‘but was nlso present st the preliminary meoting held o Toronto prlor to the Detrole Commer- cial Conventlon, for the purpose of deciding on the togles to be introduced at thut mecting, md at which the question of formninz s Dominion ‘Trade Association was tirst hroached, nnd de- clded upon. The Nrst mcethlji was to huve been held in Montreal in 1870, but the Fantan rald provented this desizn from belog carrled out, nud thy holdiug of “the lirst meeting was postponed until the fotlowing yoar.
