A Divorce Scit Insunction.—Yesterday Abraham Morrell entered suit to set aside a decree for divorcee from Margaret J. Morrell, and for injunction. He states that he is a citizen of this District, but the defendant is not: that on Febraary Zi, 1875, the defe: t filed her petition for a dive from the bond of matrimony and for other relief against him; that afterward, on February 25, 1875, the defendant filed her motion in said court for maintenance pending the litigation of her petition, and also for payment of her costs in rocecuting the and for fees for her so- citor, which motion was denied; that after- through their respective punsel, that in any deeree thereafter to be ‘rendered no me should be decreed to be paid by the plaintiffto tioner, and in con- eration thereof plaintiff's counsel was in- syructed to withdraw from the further defense f the cause, and plaintiffand his counsel did ot appear at the final hearing; that on Octo- ber 15, ISt6, a decree was entered by which jaintiff was required to pay the sum of #200 a fees for the solicitor of petitioner, and the ¢@sts of the suit. He says the decree was im- pJovidently passed, and was obtained with- Gut the knowledge of the plaintiff, and in fraud of the stipulation: that the petitioner has issued a writofatiachment forthe money alleged to be payable toher by the plaintiff by reason of the deeree. He therefore prays that the decree may be set aside and declared to be fraudulent and void; that the defendant may be restrained from issuing any writ of execution upon the decree. and the plaintiff have such farther relief as the nature of his case may require. pereemstnomans Ayers sac Tue Uxton MEETINGS IN PHILADE PHIA—A letier has been received in this ¢! from Philadelphia, where Rev. E. P. y . Ham- mond, the evangelist who so successfully conducted the union revival meetings here 1 ast spring. is now holding similar meetings, in which the writer says: * Some of the read- ers of THE STAR will be glad to hear some- thing of the meetings being heid in this city. ‘The work has begun here much more rapidiy than it did in Washington. Meetings from the first have been crowded. They have been held in the Reformed Episcopal chureh, the largest building in this section of the ‘city. The ministers of all denominations unite heartily in the work; and already several hundred profess conversion. Dr. Rossvally, the converted Israelite, was here the other evening. and gave his experience in a thrill- ing manner. and deeply interested the audi- ence. I found two children in the meetings, who said they were converted last winter, in ‘Washington. Please ask the Christian friends in Washington, who were so much interested in the meetings last winter, to pray for us.” —-—_—_ Tue Cask oF TROOK AGAINST THE B. & P.R.

Trook agt. the Baltimore and Potomac railroad—action for damages to prope because of the un- loading of cars in front of his premises was resumed—Mr. Payne for plaintiff and Mr. Stanton for defendant.

If their action is illegal they are guilty of a public nuisance, and therefore are not liable te in this case. 21. That plaintif® had no title in the property in question, hay- ing deeded it to a trustee to secure a debt due the Freedman’s bank, and that before the trial the property was sold and did not bring an amount sufficient to pay the debt, and if there is any one aggrieved it is the bank; and 3d. That they have the right under the law to unload freight at any point so long as they do not unreasonably ct the high. way. A FEMALE Pist OU RISH FR.—Quite @ commotion was raised about 9 o'clock last ight on 10th street, south of Pennsylvania avenue, occasior by a dashing young blonde called Minnie Warren, whohad a pis- tol in her , flourishing it around and Yowing vengeance against a blonde bar- keeper in an avenue saloon for some griev- ance which she did not disclose. A hundred or more men and boys were following her, and whenever they pressed too close she would scatter them by drawing a bead at the crowd along the barrel of her revolver until Lieut. Vernon and Officer Nicholson her to the 5th precinct station, where an ex- amination of the weapon showed that it was harmless, as it was not loaded. An im- mense crowd gathered about the station, at- tracted by the novelty of the scene, and a de- sire to get a closer look at the heroine of the moment, but she was withdrawn by way of @ side door, and the crowd lingered long after she was on her way home under escort of a policeman. ——-— Navy YARD AFrains.—The Leary ope ed by act of Congress to inquire int ad- vVisability of abolishing some of the navy yards and establishing others. consisting of Admiral PD.

Engine house No. 1,on K street, the last of the Washington stations visited. was some ten years ago the model one of the District. The comparison of this with many of the others shows how swift has been the progress in this branch of the public service as in many others. The stables are far back behind the «engine room,” and both men and horses have to traverse a considerable distance before the animals attach to the engine and hose-carriage, and yet, with all these drawbacks, the horses were in the traces and the men on the “machines” within 30 se The same comforts and conveniences have here been provided for “the boys” as at. other points, and the faulty construction of the building ean be obviated by alterations at a cost not exceeding $600.

Editor Star: Referring to a paragraph in this morning's Baltimore Sun in regard to bets on the resull of the election of President—it suggests the fact whether or not all such bets are “off.” On all wagers amongst betting men there are certain rules which govern; they are by common consent termed referees, to whom question is left for a decision. For instance in horse racing all bets go with the dec ision of the judges, but at the same time the judges have undoubted right to de- clare all bets*-off,” and by al} betting men this ruling is generally acquiesced in without any murmuring. It is plain to the whole country that Mr. Tilden has been fairly and justly elected as the next President of the United States. If however by any pretext dishouest and unscrupulous partisans should attempt to divert the just will of the people and set aside their verdict, under false and vague rul- ings, then and in such case any fair-minded! referee would declare all such bets “off.” I would therefore advise all parties interested to take precautionary measures in the premi- -——-+—__ Leisure Hours with FRANCE.—A most pleasant and profitable manner of spending & few leisure hours with cultivated and intel- ligent company is to join one of Mlle Prad'- bomme’s French classes. Her mode of im- parting @ correct and pure accent of the rench language, as well as a thorough knowledge of the grammar, is a delightful one. Her soirees are also quite an attractive feature. We understand that the next one, to take place in December, is to be a very fine affair. We would also call the attention of parents to a class which M'lle Prad’homme s now forming in the Kindergarten at No. ‘800 18th street.
