Hunt, by her attorney, Mr. James G. hy 6, filed an application in the Equity Court for the custody of Hattie E Kent, six years of age, daughter of J. M. and Ellen Kent, charging that the parents are in- competent to hold custody of the child, on ac- count of their character, representing that the father is not a fit person to raise the chiid, and that the mother, being completely unter the control of the father, the child should not be toremain with them, and asked that she be given the custody of the child. ‘This morning the child was produced in court by the parents, and Col. Mich: appeared for the respendents, Was accompanied by Mr. James G. Payni The case having been called, Mr. M. Thomp- son, caunsel for parents, asked a postpone- ment, in order to file an answer, which. be — prepare at the earliest practicabie mo- men’ The court inquired of Mra. Hunt whether or Bot she would remain in thiscity, and if so, whether she was able to take temporary cus- tody of the child pending the hearing of the case. Mr. Thom) informed the court that she being a resident of a aistant eity might take the — ners and hoped that bonds would be re. quired. ‘The court remarked that it was not a question of bonds, but one of morahty, and the court would not allow the moralsof the children to be corrupted by its parents, but Mra. Hant being ready and willing gave bonds in the sam of $1,800 for its safe custody until the case is dis- posed of. While the bonds were being fixed, ths pa rents, unobserved, were leaving the court- house, taking the child along with them, and the attention of the court be: mg called to it, he ordered the bailiff to bring them back. and the ebild was then turned over to Mrs. Hunt, the | grandmother.

It will be remembered that Mrs. Wharton was charged with causi the death of Generai Ketchum, with an al tempt bP the life of Mr. Van Ness, by the use ina and arsenic. Her trial on the first t to 26 days, and on this accusation she was acquitted. In beth cases the issue turned upon the trustworthiness of medi- cal expert mony. For the medico-chemicat features the defense procured the services of two eminent medical men of Philadelphia, and the state was fortified with the opinions of a number of experts of Baltimore. The scientitic deductions from the different points of view appeared to the public, in many instances, irre- concilable, and the coutroversy that arose pe- tween the different colleges which the gentle- men represent has extended to the medical pro- | fession generally. Dr.Gaylor, of London, author of a standard work on toxicology, was applied to by an expert for the defense, and, his decision being adverse to the views of the Baltimore ex- erts. it was determined in Baltimore Wednes- ay that bie decision must have been based on talse premises, and is not authoritative. This action will doubtless revive the controversy be- tween the doctors in all its bitterness. Dr. Scucrre in Cm al Schonppe, alias Count Schuienberg, will be arraigued in the criminal court of Chicago to-day. He is to be defended by Col. Edmund Jassen, the brother-in-law of Senater Schurz, and it is in- tiated that the jurisdiction of the court will be challenged, ou the ground that Schepps, when arrested in Baltimore, was not a fugitive from justice, and was not, therefore, liable to a requisition from the state of [llinois. Schasppe, whose fate it seems to be to figure in American criminal annals, claims that he bas been simply kidnapped and carried to Chicago in the inter- est and by the tion of the heirs of Miss Steinecke, whuse will is now before the Balti- more courts.

The Baitimore Sun of this morning Says terms of adjustment have been amicably agreed upon, to go into effect on Monday nex’; ard after giving @ bistury of the causes which hd to the quarrel, that paper adds: «Shortly after the commencement of hostilities Vice of the Philadelphia, Wil- gton and Baltimore company, Mr. S. M. Felton, and other friends of both companies endeavored to bring about a settlement, ant with that object an interview with the of- ficers of the Baltimore and Obiocompany. At this meeting it was proposed that @ correct ba- sis would be an equitable division of the passeu- ger business, which could only be satisfactorily effected by arranging that trains between New York and Philadelphia and Washington, be ron alternately over the Baltimore and Poto- mac and Baltimore and Ohio routes, thus pre- venting any covfusion with travelers, and se- curing to each of the rival lines about an eqaal amount of business. This pian was promptly aceeded to by the Baltimore and Ohio company, bat declined by President Thompson, of the Pennsylvania company. Upon this failure the war went on with renewed vigor, and tia tions were suspended until the recent visit of Vice Presidents Scott and Roberts, of the Pennsylvania railroad company, and Mr. Felton, to Baltimore for conterence. It is understood that at this interview the Penn. sylvania company expressed a willingness to di- vide the business as suggested, with the proviso, which the Baltimore and Ohio company would not entertain, namely, that a connection be made at the crossing of the Baltimore aad Po- tamac and Baltimore and Onto roads near Ke'ay House, (Washington Branch,) and t all New York and Philadelphia trains be ran through the Baltimore aud Potomac tanael, to connect with the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, with a fair componss.ion tor use of track and tunnels between the Reiay House and Bayview, thus making the Wasb- ington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio road terminate for through business at the poiut named instead of Baltimore. When this ditfi- culty was encountered the officersof the Penn- tylvania company stated that it would be necestary to have @ further consultation with President Thompson. Upon their retura to Philadelphia, we learn that an invitation was extended to the officers of the Baltimore and Obio company to meet them in Philadelphia in what it was hoped would be a final conterence. This was Foc por — the ae company agr at before negotiations were ponent f the right of the Baltimore and Uhio company torun its trains over the entire line between Baltimore and Washin, }, transfer- ting them to the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad at President street sta- tion or Locust Point, in Baltimore, should be acknowledged, and the scheme of the Baltimore and Potomac tunnel, as applied to the business of the Baltimore and Ohio company, abandon- ed. Upon this basis the Philadelphia meeting was held, and it was then determined that of the daily trains between New York and Wash- ington, and vice versa, each company should have an equal numbe:—that Is that two should be run by the Baltimore and Potomac and two by the Baltimore and Ohio Company, and one through train between Philadelphia and Wash- ingtov in both directions by each route. [fhe orderand hours of departure of these tratus by the respective roads will be duly announced.) After this was agreed upon some delay was —— by discussion between the Phila- delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore and the Pennsylvania companies as to the arrange- ments, but these have now been adjusted. It has been agreed that the New Jersey lines ccntrolled by the Pennsyl: & company, and the terminal facilities in New York for pas- Sengers and freiy,st, are extended to the Baiti- mote and Obio company upon exactly the same terms as are enjoyed by the Pennsylvania com- pany itself. Tie new arrangements go into effect on Mon- day next, and carry with them a restoration of through passengers and freight rates between all points with which the rival companies com pete for business.” The Arkansas Imbroglio, PROCLAMATIONS OF THE RIVAL GOVERNORS. Governor Brooks, of Arkansas, begesownd issued a proclamation stating that he deems himeelf legally the governor of that state, by not only a Sakeny Of votes received, but also by the decree of the courts. After deprecating the troubles arising out of the gubernatoriai quarrel, the proclamation concludes as follows: “No man inthe state can regret strife and bloodshed more deeply than myself, but feeling as I do that self-government rather than se!f- aggrandizement isin the issue, I shall employ every means at my command to maintain its supremacy. Elisha Baxter forced me trom the legislature to the courts, and thus far I have patiently borne with the law’s delay, times feeling that ju-tice would be done the judgment of # court of competent _juristic- tion. 1am in the executive office. When it is adjudicated that I am not there legally I will bow my head in silence to the decree of te court, be it what it may.
