A. cher, charged by his wife, Josephine Leppeo, wil committed adultery om the 3uth of July, fore Justice Obaries Waiter. f She also charges tbat she is afraid that he will do her bodily Darm, and 8 charge of frand will probably be made, as the following letter was exhibitad to the Justice: Office of the Connecticut Life Insurance Com: pany, Hartford. Conn., August 12th, 1867 —Dear ir: I nave noticed to-day an account tskea from the Washington ‘Star’ of an attempt to defraud @ life insurance company by one Joseph Leppen alias H. A. Deicher, who is- said to bea clerk in one of the offi of the Patent Office building. As the account corres- ponds precizely with the proofs of loss and cir- cumstances of aclaim made upon our com- pany by Josephine Leppen for an insuraace on the life of her husband Joseph Leppen, ex- ceptasto time, We are anxious to ascertain if there is or was a clerk in any of the depart- ments by the name of Joseph Leppen alias H. A. Detcher, and know of no one toaddress bat you to make this ingury. The account states ihat Leppen was arrested at the instance of his wife foradulrtey, and he was committed for rial by Justice Walter. This may give youa cloe to the case; or, if you hi not time for the inquiry, please inform me if there ‘ea Justice Walter in Washington, and give ‘08. me his address, that 1 can write to him. Leppen was insured in our company in uary, 1$62. In December, 1566, claim was mi on ‘us that Leppen was drowned in the Ohio Tiver about the lith of Angust previons, as he took passage on a steamer at Parkersburg the day previous, and when the boat arrived at Wheeling he was missing, but his clothes and effects were found in his state-room, and on the 16th day of August a body was tound in the Tiver, some 25 miles below Wheeling, and though it could net be identitied as Leppen’s. his wife claims, on account of his continued absence, that it was that of her husband, and demands the insurance money. All the cir- cumstances stated in the S/ar paper correspond with her statement, except in relation to time, and we are inclined to think it isthe devel- opment of what we had always supposed wis an attempt to defraud usof the money. It you can put us on the track of an investigation you will much eblige, Yours truly, Grey R. PHEvps, President. Ta J. N. Prior, Washington, D. C. Mr. Kasche testified to the accused comingto his house about four montns since for board, ing be lett Europe because he killed his su- perior officer. Subsequently he was identified as Leppen, when he told witness that that was his name, and he was in Parkersburg and got on the steamer to goto Wheeling, and got to gambling on the boat, and himeelf and anoth- er of those engaged got to fighting and fell over- board: he gotshore and the other was drowned. His pocket trinkete he placed in the pockets of the drowned man to create the impression that he wes dead, eo that his wife migbt obtain the insurance on his life, aud join him and return Tope. Jvstice Walter said that there was a suspi- cicn that he had pushed the man overboard, aud he felt justified in holding him in custody until he could bear from from Wheeling and | Hartford, and remanded him to jail tor a fur- | ther hearing. ae _ Stuer Vacation or Tae Covrts—Duil Times atthe City Holl.—The judicial wing of tue City Hall appears now to be entirely de- serted, No court being iv session with the ex- ception ot the Bankruptey Court, of which Mr. J.

Judge Wylie is now in Canada. bat will retarn in time to hald the Special September term of the Equity Court. Judge Fisher will remain curing (de month, it being necessary to have at least one Judge here, but it is supposed that ho will take a trip in the fall. ‘The next Gene- | ral Term will be held on the third Monday | (2st) October; the next of the Cireuit Court, st Tuesday (5th) November, and the nexi terms of the Criminal and Districts Coarts ist Monday (2d) December. The clerks of the courts are busily engaged this month in get- tng up their work. which will be compleied in a very few days, andit is probable that they will take “turn and turn about” in baying each a season of recreation. ee Tne River FRONT, AUGUST 15TH, 1567 The journey along the front failed to produce anything of note, save a heavy collection of | mud and water over the shoe top? of the unfor- tunate pedestrians who were compelled to per- ambulate thereabouts.

The accused, although she is col- ored, is quite handsome; indeed. she is said by some to be beautiful, and resides in the house 1 which Sprigg has a room, to which she has access. Sprigg lost his money and charged her with the larceny. She talked considerable About resisting the officer, intimating that she har plenty of friends among members of Con- gress who would see her ont of trouble, and that she wanted nothing to do with the Rev. Dr. Spriges. The charge of larceny was dis- mirsed, but she was fined $2 for being disor- derly. ——— THE STEAMBOAT WasE.—Tuesday afternoon Capt. D. J. Hill, of the Georgiana, who was charged with running his steamboat within the harbor of Washington a: a greater speed than allowed by law, and whose case was held over by the Justice of the Tenth precinct, appeared at the station-house to hear the de- cision of the case. The justice decided that, according to the evidence, the law had been Violated: and notwithstanding the circum- stances which had created an impre:sion ta- yerable to the captain, he was in duty bound to impose a fine according tolaw. The cap- tain said be could not reasonably object to the manner in which the case had been inveetiga- ted, ad cheerfully paid the fine—s2v. A Dutt Day—The excessively inclement weather of to-day has stagnated business gen- erally, and made it particularly hard upon collectors of items for the press The rain, which commenced to fall before twilight yes- terday, has been pouring down without inter- musion ever since, and at the hour we go to hor there seems but slight prospect of its olding up. For farming purposes itis very opportune, and therefore those living in cities, whose inconvenience is but of @ temporary character, should not complain, when the gen- eral good is atstake. In consequence of the beavy rain, a number of streams in the neigh- Peleg of the city have been considerably swollen. ee ELx Rives Oamr Mugrinc.—To-morrow the camp meeting fer Elk Ridge Landing Cir- cuit, Baltimore Uon ference of the M.
