RUMORS OF CABINET CHANGES are again afloat. Thistime the yuid nuncs have it tha: Devens is to retire, and Secretary of the Navy Thompson is to suceved him; who in tura is to be succeeded by Governor Rice, of Mussa chusetts. SECRETARY SHERMAN left here on the 1:3) p.m. train to-day for New York, where he will remain for several days on business connected with the placing of the four per cent. loan. From New York the Seeretary will proc northward on a pleasure trip. He will be a! sent about a month. COINAGE SUSPENDED aT NEW ORLEANS ON AccounT OF YELLOW FeveR.—In conse. quence of the existence of yellow fever at New Orleans, the director of the mint has notified the superintendent of the mint at New Orleaas to suspend coinage operations for ninety days. SENATOR PATTERSON requests us to say that he did not make the remarks attributed to him in the Star of July 30th in regard to the whisky troubles in South Carolina. * Nevertheless, our reporter says that Snator Ppuermes did make the remarks attributed to im. JUDGE TYNER was at his desk at the P. 0. department to-day. PARDONED BY THE PRESIDENT.—The Presi- dent has pardoned Charles Young, of Cincin- nati, Who was convicted with the notorious Eph Holland, of the same city, in the Hamil- tun county, Ohio, election frauds. All of the convicted perpetrators of these frauds are now breathing the air of freedom. PERsonaL.—Judge and Mrs. MeArthur, of this city, are noted among the notable people of Saratoga. eneral Schenck and daugh- ters are “doing” Vermont in a carriage, sensi- bly following the old wazon roads among the beautiful hillsand valleys of that state. Admiral Poor is at Skaneatles, N.Y. B. de Ford Webband Mr. this city, who are now at Cooperstown, will vist Saratoga and Niagara before returniog ome. THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE is expected to get actively at work by the 5th inst. John G. Thompson, who seems to be a kind of Major Domo in arrang- ing the democra'ie canvass, is expected every day to give the committee the benefii of his valuable suggestions. The rooms of the com- mitiee will be moved from the Riggs House to the House committee on military affairs, and from thence demociatic pabulum will be sent out. COUNTERFEITERS CAPTURED.—The officers of the secret service yesterday arrested at Fostoria, Ohio, two noted counterfeiters—Jer- ry Wolf and Joe Baird—and carried them to Cleveland for examination. Three men, named Weisgerber, Otto and Trench, were arrested by a secret service agent in Balti- more yesterday, charged with counterfeitin the coin of the United States. Quantities o! five cent pieces were found in possession of Weisgerber and Jtto. Trench admits his guili. A lot of moulds, tools, and about sixt: sounds of metal were found in their mint. our:h man eseaped, but will be speedily cap tured. Mike Connor, an ex-policeman, and one of the parties concerned in sending olf notes to Evrope, was arrested in New York by Operative Curtis, of the secret service di vision. charged with dealiag in counterfeit $5) notes of the Tradesmen’s National Bank o New York city. Operative Rathbone, of the seeret service division, reports arresting G W. Sanders, W. M Paddock and Thos. Sells, counterfeiters, at Indianapolis yesterday. COMMODORE FOXHALL A. PARKER, superin- t ndent of the naval academy, Annapolis, no- tifies the Navy department that he left the geasomy yesterday for New Bedford, Mass., and on his arrival there will hoist his flag on one of the practice ships. During his absence Commander S. S. Greene, U.S. N., will be left temporarily in command. Ex-Gov. JAMES W. DENNER, of Ohio, who has been strongly urged to accept the demo- cratic congressional nomination in his distric’, declines to again enter public life. Gen. Denner, who left for home a few days ago, ex- presses the belief that the democracy will carry the state and make a gain of from three to four members of Congress. SvccEss OF THE FOUR Fr CENT. Loan, The success which has attended the opening of the four per cent. loan to popular subserip- ton has been very gratifying to the Secretary ofthe Treasury. At the close of business yes. terday the following exhibit was made of ‘the amounts subseribed for the past four month Apnil. 8,1 ay. June duly Total........ tees ceeseresesscess PI Sda I) The steady increase in subscriptions, as de- noted by the above figures, is far beyond the highest estimates that were made at the time the loan was thrown open to the public, aud there is every indication that for the next four months there will be little if any falling off. The coer considers the success which has attended his efforts with these bonds as one of the strongest elements in his plan for resumption. Tne PRESIDENT OPPOSED TO REDUCING POLICEMEN’s PaY.—A delegation of police- men from the several precincts, headed by Sergeant Hollenberger and Officer O'Hare. called on the President yesterday and stated that they bad learned of the intention of the District authorities to reduce their pay, and represented the injustice of such a course after the recent legislation by Congress and the full appropriation made for this service. The President answered that he was opposed to any change in the salaries now paid the of- ficers, and said he would so inform the Dis- trict Commissioners. THE CoTTON Cro! —Keports received from the cotton-growing districts of the south fail to mention any damage to the growing crops by the recent heavy rains. ———_--+e-____. REDUCTION.

OPENING OF BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NEW STATIONS. Bids were opened yesterday at the office of the General Superintendent of the Life Saving Service, Treasury department, for the con- struction of thirceen complete life saving sta- tions on the coast of Virginia and North Caro- lina. Ten of these stations are to be erected at intermediate points between exis ing sta tions, and three between Little Kinnake>t, N. C., and Hatteras Inlet. The contract for vulla- ing these stations will provide for their com pletion on the 15th of November next, ready lor occupancy, which is as soon as they can possibly be finished. In the meantime the apparatus is being manufactured for thelr equipment. The following is a statem:nr of the bidde Joseph Williams, deter <i D. O.—Six stations, $2,500 each.

General Superintendent Kimball has just returned from solegng. sites for the new life Saving stations on the lakes, authorized by act of Congress. Sites were sected as follows: Un Lake Michigan, at Manistee, Luaington, Muskegan aud ‘Kenosha. On Lake furon,, at Sand Beach and station near Port Austin. Superintendent Kimball was fortunate enough to secure titles to the land selected tree of cost to the government, the owners thereof don: ing the same. except at Ludington, At this Place the owner of the land selected was ab. sent at the time; otherwise it is not doubted but what he would have donated as liberally as the other parties. There is great interest fel.in the service in the lake region, and a disposition is shown by the people to render all the assistance in their power to help the service along. At Chicago arrangements were made to render the station at that point more etficient, by the employment of a regular crew, who will be on hand at all times during the season of navigation. In addition to a life-boat already provided for that station, a sucf boat and other improved apparatus are to be placed there, and the station will be enlarged to ac- evmmodate the crew and additional boat. This is deemed necessary on account of the Foe, eedneney of accidents in and about the harbor. Sites for the new stations on the coast of New Jersey and New Engiand will be selected very shortly, and proposals invited for their construction, and their completion will be hurried as much as possible. Proposals for coustructing the new lake stations wiil also be invited in a day or two. The Public Debt.

THF FUTURE HOME OF THE SPOTTED TAILS. The Commissioner of Indian affairs has re- ceived a letter of interest trom J. M. Haworth, one of the commission appointed to treat with the Red Cioud and Spotted Tail Indians. describing the country on which it 1s propose to locate the Spotted Tail Indians and touch ~ ing upon other matters. He says: “My Dear Commissioner :—We are spending the Sabbath day encamped on Wounded Knee Creek, not far from its head or source, which isin arange of sand hills. At the point where we are itis @ very small stream, though of good water; void of timber, though we are informed that we will find good timber a few miles dowa the stream. We crossed the winding ridge yes- terday between the White Earth and South River, having traced the south fork from its ending to its beginning, which is near that of the Wounded Knee, or on the opposite side of the same range of sand hills, the two flowing in opposite directions. The land passed over from the agency to the crossing of the White Eaith River _is ver oor. * * Alter crossing the White rth we found a better. country. * * * The Rosebud was quite a disappointment to us, having neither timber, excepting some little in the breaks of the hills, nor bottom land. The best land we found is this side of the Rosebud, but I think au Seensy for Spotted Tail may be advantage. ously located in the neighborhood of the K »se- bud, possibly a few miles below its mouth. ~ * While it is doubtful about Spotted Tail’s people making a success of farming, I think they can make stock raising successful, as their country is well adapted toit. After fully examining the count we willlook at you wrote the general. Iam keeping an account of the country, &e., and will give you a full de-eription hereafter.” A CLUE TO THE BARCLAY STREET FIRE.— The New York Tribune says a clue has been obtained, in the experiments of James Gres- ham with an asphaltum powder, claimed to possess @ power much greater than dyna- mite, to the cause of the explosion at Green- leaf’s candy factory, in Barclay street, New York York, in 1877, by which many lives were lost. Mr. Gresham, at the time, bad an office in one of the buildings destroyed. Mr. Gres. ham, however, denies that there was any of his powder in the building at the time of the explosion. OFFICE HOLDING IN_LiBERI. Fy Neonding to a letter of the Charleston (S.C.) News an Courier’s Sorreepondens, who has recently re turned from Liberia, the annual cost of gov- erning that country, which has 3,500 v..ters, is gol equal to #29 for each voter. Thereare 16 office-holders, besides a hest of magistrates and constables. It cannot be said Liberia pays its officers exorbitant salaries, judged by ‘he American standard. The President gets $2,500, and the chief justice while the treasurer has to content himself on $1,000. The Legislature absorbs $13,000, but war expenses are put down at the moderate figure of $1,565, ‘ ROSRER Taamre ARRESTED — John amon Di ohn Meyers, ry ve heen arrest near Delisburg, Pa., with the money stolen from Mr. Beltzhoover, Monday Beltzhoover, and being fully identified were lodged in Carlisle jail.

TFROM THE STAR'S OWN CORRESPONDENT. } New Yor, July 31, i578. Dress this season offers but a dull field for anything but speculation and fancy. Tae realities are worse than common place. Tuey are, out of a limited circle, as uninteresting, not to say repulsive, as vicious taste spreading itself over a certain area can make them. I have*made an exception of one circle; but there are, indeed, two which mast be omitted from this generalization. One is an exclusive and refined circle, which has good examples and an abundant labora‘ ory to draw from ; and the other a quiet home-keeping and reflective class, whose lives are full of duties, and whos: delicacy and refinement are instinctive and part of themselves, not the growth of au ex e rior “culture,” or a veneer put on to conceal the commoness of what is beneath. The first— Trail rich laces over delicat? silk in the pri vacy of their own homes, because they are habituated to it; they indulge in fineness and softness because they can do so, but not in glare and show, and they select the most modest and least pretentious of their costumes in the most public and promiscuous ocea- sions. The second—Arm themselves with neatness and neutrality. The plain dark or neutral shade is chosen because it is Lever con- spicuous, and it looks well longer than any other, The afternoon dress of twenty-cent lawn is as indicative of the lady as the soft Jrou frou siik aud valenciences, for it is desti- tute of the obtrusive rufling and patent lace edging, which has become the insignia of Wagar and may be worn in its simp.icity with as much propriety next year and th? year after as now. But these two circles, or classes, are in the minority, They are represented very sparing ly in the crowds at watering-places, in the streets, among the throngs upon cars and steamboats, or at the gay pleasure resorts, La- stead, there are numerous specimens of the forlorn, the incongruous, the grotesque, aid the hideous or idiotic in their clothing. ‘Que wonders, looking at them, how good material, weie ever made to look so utterly and help- lessly limp, lank, ugly and inadequate You will See on the street cars tall, angular women in short, frolicsome skirts, kilt pleated, with juveniie vests and cut-away jackets ju will see stout, broad-shouldered, largé faced women wearing “Coolie” hats, whica take out at once the gleam of intelligent expression they may have pos esyed; and all sorts of women displaying fancy desigasand s roag contrasts of color in co:nmon fabrics aud in the most public places. A QUAKER REACTION. It is a pity that a reaction could not take Place which, fur a time at least, would give us a Quaker neatness and simp'ieity in our mode of dress, beginning at the fountain head, at the rey sources of all fashion. But that is impossible, because the busy business and trading class, from which fashions spring, consider elaboration and allay a3 the mu tive and inspiration of fashioa. the raison @e:re of its existence, and their interests are bound up with its development in this direc- tion. The majority of women, therefore, the ignorant followers of changing styles, are more to be pitied than blamed, for they are not the workers, they are more’ truly the saz- rifices of the great Moloch which is made u of diversified trade interests. What emanel- pation it would be for thousands of women for ouce to be freed front the torturing anxiety as to what they shall wear; to have a dress, for example, suitable for every-day needs, and another which shall be recognized everywhere by its more elegant cut and costliness of tex- ture as suitable for any social oceasion. We have the basis for such dresses in the newest waking suit with jacket attachment, and the square or V shaped boddice, with the pret-y w sleeves and plain trained ov trinmed skirts. The styles are sulticiently the fashion not to be strange; all they want is reeognitiva aud for a respectable number of respectable wemen to adopt them as perataneat. Tuis woud make themso. Time and strength ar- becoming too preci.us tu waste them ta an eternal chase after novelty which has suca poor results, dhe period we are passing through, it is to be hoped, is a transition stage. I: ought to be known as the sloppy era—everthing runs over and is without sirength and soundness, truth or honesty. If we get a good thing we turn i t it into something eise, destroy its yoo ics, or make additional soureés of tor ment. As, for instance, when we adopt a sensible jacket wich useful pockets, we tak the latter off the sides of the frout where the; are needed aud put them on the back wher: they are who.ly unnecessary and therefor fvolish, and where to put them to use would b simply to court theft and put temptation i the way of those who consider it only oppor- tunity. DRESSES FOR SUMMER DAYS. The high colors, the bunching-up of fabrics @nd the carryiug about of yards of unneces sary material is especially exasperating through the heats of a July such as we have just passed. The temperature of even our horthern summer is such as to make comfo:t of the highest importance; health, and cer- tainly activity, depend upon it. A burden- some dress, or one with a trail upon which has been laid yards upon yards of fine plaiting, and which needs yards upon yards of cotioi beneath it to keep it in dué rosition, isa weariness beyoud the power of words to ex- ress. The prettiest ard only endurable tui- lettes for such a season are of fine liuen or cot- ton, and fouiard silk. Where the heat is not so intense, srenadine may be worn over plain foulard, and muslin over italian silk or col- ored batiste; but the designs, should be found from weight and elaboration, and made so as to be light aud cool-looking as well as in veality. A very pretty outfit made for Saratoga included in ils list a loyely toilette of waite lawn trimmed wich white hand-embroidery and bows of dark olive aad pale blue ribbon. AD ovening dress was of cream white gas- eline, which is a very delicate kind of bunting as five as berage. This was made as a Prin- cesse, with small-sized paniers and a demi- The trimming consisted of bands of Indian embroidery aud bows of crimson and god colored satin ribbon. The bodice was Cut square and the sleeve reached only to the bow. Both were finished with rutties of old Jace. A dress fora garden party was of pale blue lawn, made hearly Short, with a kilt plaited flounce, a round ice, and a little fichu knouted in front. The trimming was wide Valenciennes lace, placed upright on a short overskirt, which was turned up and lied back a Laveuse. A stylish black grenadine costume presented several novel features. The demi-train skirt, finished with a box-plaited flounce, was o! black satin; the polonaise was striped with satin and trimmed down the front with a dou- ble cascade of black Spanish and white Valen- ciennes lace, in the shells of which were placed narrow black satin bows. The back had a culiar lacing of black satin pipings and Koons, which formed an ornament upon the drapery below the waist line. A great deal of distinction is given to sum- mer toilets by the use of masses of wide Torchgn and wide Valerciennes lace. This must not be confounded with the narrow patent edgings which are used to finish the Tufties of shop-made dresses. The distinction petween the one and the other is too marked for comparison. A lovely wrapper belonging to the same out. fit was of Purely Gabrielle cut, and made of fine white linen lawn, trimmed with a cascade of the delicate pink and blue, or what is known as the Pompadour torchon lace. There were no ribbons upon this dress. Tue outlines were traced in exquisite needlework, and lace ruffies ornamented the sleeves, (which were re only demi-long and quite narrow,) the neck. which closed at the throat, and the pockets The whole effect was wonderfully soft, be- cause unbroken by any interpolated lines o ojoring. tore walking dress there was a pretty, pale mastic colored depige, with no trimmia ; ‘save pipings of silk of the same shade, and a ruftie of white real lace with square ends a the throat. This was accompauied bya ha ft mastic colored chip, trimm wit. recisely oe same ee and a smali wreath of pale, nearly w! Lea. One of the t essentials to pleasant sum- mer dressing is proper underwear, and ther: isno garment not entirely comfortable ant rotective in all respects as the newcombina on of drawers with chemise cut in one after the Princesse models. By the use of this gar- mecxt one not only gets rid of the skirt of the chemise, which is unnecessary when a short skirt is worn, but all superfluous fullness in the top of the drawers, thus preserving the outlines of the Rgure, so that the outside dress can be fitt nie re every, atom of aaar this method of tually be adopted as soon as il is known and tried. Indispensa- ble as corsets are supposed to be, there are days in summer when they are intolerable, and a dress which is light and col, wii does not bind at the waist. which does not Gach with any sense of pressure, is a God- send. DRESSING AT WATERING PLACES. Until recently there have been bu* three reat watering places in America—Safitoga, ‘ewport and Long Branch—but to these must now be added Mauhattan Beach. Th2 latter differs from all the others in the temporary rather than transient character of its popula- tion, but its great concourse of visitors, aver- aging 20,000 daily, certainly gives i: a charac- ter of itsown. Ai most watering places—cor- respondents with lively imaginations to tae contrary notwihstanding—the ladies are ui- suitably dressed, because—perhaps from mo- tives of economy—they try to wear out their old clothes. The young girls will perhaps flourish in pre‘ty morning dresses, but mammas, as a rule, reserve for this purpose a robe de fatigue which has sevn service on other oceasions, and both daughte:s and mammas trail about for dinner and in the eyening the once handsome, but now somewhat shabby- looking, toilettes which have done duty at ball and party,theater and concert during a season in town. Correspondents, as before remarked, with lively imaginations may recount the glo: ries of watering place toilettes, but the fresh dresses prepared for the special purpose are comparatively few and usually belong to a ride, a debutante, or the wifeof some very rich new man. That costliness is the excep. tion is sufficiently evident from the fact that a woman who appears in a more than ordinary elegant toilette or succession of toilettes is 4 heralded immediately from one end of the country to the other, and furnishes a subject for tongues and pens which lasts longer than the frail finery which gave rise to the com ment. There is a style of dressing which is adapted to its particular locality, which is in harmony with the place and its occupations. The sea- side requires short dresses, of all wool or linen, with a touch of color in their ornamen- tations and accessories, The hat which pro. tects from the glare of the which gives one freedom with one’s hands when searching for shells and stone along a pebbly beach, or watching the incoming of the sail of the fisher- man, has a fitnessentirely independent of pic- turesque form or dainty fashion. At Saratoga, on the contrary, one can revel in white and delicate colors, in lace and ficha, in cooling fabrics and soft fluttering trim! uings, for the clear air, so erystalline pure, leaves Lo speck, takes out no stiffness, sug gests Lo collapse, but seems to preserve every fas idious fold and dainty tint intact. Newport has no character to sustain and is bot characterized by the al fresco summer- liness of other resorts. Its _cottagers live pre- cisely the same lives in Newport they do in New York; their dress has less dispiay but more fineness than the dress of Saratoga, and, though it is never outre, often shows a strik- ing individuality. ‘ Long Branch and Saratoga the fashions of the shops meet yuu everywaere aud stare you out of countenance. An expert could tell where every costume came from, whether from A,B,C or D, and pretty nearly how much it cost—the ditference being in the query as to whether it was purchased before it was marked “down.” The gioves, hand. kerchief, the combs, the ornaments, are all of a kind sold in lots aud turaed out as long as there are purchasers. Richfield Springs is rather different from che “great” watering places. It is quiei, more modest and makes less pretention. The p-ople who go there are mostly respectable families whose daughters are well brought up and do not flaunt in jew- elsand silken attire. The ladies belong to that fast-diminishing class who recogaize their duties and to Whom dress is subordi- naied to the active care of the we'fare and happiness of their famiiies. Their dress is always of a good, pure fabric, but often independent of the latest fashions, and you Know thal its making was not pushed or put off until the last moment, but brougat in at a convenient Season, perhaps before the larest cut had made its appearaice, and was exeeuted probably by a dressin aker’ working by the day under mo:herly supervision and de- si. able because she could cut and make dresses for the chiluren, All tnis, the qniet, somewhat staid style of tue dressmaking will’ tell you as well as me, and to me the story is more inter- nt esting that anything that could be totd by tie | most sublime efforts of a French modiste. couse there are more riant elfeets. are gay young married women whose dresses were part of au elegant trosseau, and who sport fichus and mittons of lace; there ace pretty girls just “come out” whose whi e arege and valeuciennes over silk were worn at their first parties last winter, and wh» are as bright and fresh and happy as if the worid were to be one long summer, and existence made up alwavsof pretty white barege, blue silk and valenciennes lace. Our New York watering place cannot be Of There vew uoted for the dress of its lady frequenters, ut of its 20,000 daily habitues, 1,000 are men: many of them the doctors, lawyers, bankers, journalists, and business men who cannot get away from New York during the heated term, and the residue clerks and citizens who can afford an occasional holiday. The ladies are drawn from the working classes, and care more for a day at the beach than their toilettes for the occasion. Their usual attire is a co‘ored skirt with a white sacque, or a cheap muslin bought ready-made for $3.50, and of which, if a wind storm comes up, there is little lett after the day’s outing. OF course there are representations of other and more refined sections of the working population. Nea‘ly dressed women in black and gray and brown, the merit of whose attire is its unobstrusive ness. But for fashion pure as well as simpie one would not go to Manhattan beach. THE REVIVAL OF WHITE BAREGE. One of the subjects for congratulation is the revival of barege for evening dresses and for occasions when a thin material is suitable. oF present it is confined almost exclusively to white and any pale gray or mastic tints, and is usually trimmed or ornamented with white satin. ie Satin is not used for pipings, but for folds, bows and bands. Tne neck and sleeves are finished with Ey, fine and narrow plaitings of the barege and interiorally with scant ruffles of Valenciennes lace. The preference for white toilettes is as marked as ever, and in fact there is nothing which can be made so effective, whether the fabric be simple or costly. The cream colored gaseline is a food substitute for barege, be- cause, although not quite so thin, it is fully as soft and much more durable. Both gaseiiue and barege make exquisite evening dresses for young ladies, more suitable as well as more becoming than white silk, because less opaque, and more capable of holding light and shadow. It is pretty well understood that the effort to restore the panier and full drapery has been at least, partially successful. All the dresses now made by French modistes exhibit som2 modification of the panier styles, and it seems to be simply a question of time and grace whether we shall again be subjected to the bunched-up skirts of the Dolly Varden era. As yet there is less cause for complaint than watchfulness. The panier, so far, is small, and arranged more as wings than as the dis- torted hump which it appeared formerly. Tne slender shape is preserved, and the sligit drapery formed by the fullness in the back is either divided or outlined by bands and bows and trimmings above the train, which is, as before, held in secure positions. The new short dress which appears in bunt- ing, beige and other summer tissues, is a great improvement on the kilted skirt and cut-away jacket style of the early Spring ; at least for married women. It=consists of a round skirt, bordered witha plaiting which ascends nearly tothe knee. The front is finished with a suc- cession of plain folds, reaching nearly to the waist, and the back, witha slight drapery, which dp diviacs bya Shirring Leg lledy He upper part, falls upon the lower in the form of apanier. The bodice is round and attached toa belt, the waist is trimmed with cape; or folds to form bratelles, and a fichu is added which is knotted in front and renders it com- Plete for a street suit. Later in theseason, and as the fall advan the design may be made in wool and a jack added, cut long enough to nearly reach the top of the plaiting, and if lined ic will render the costume sufticlently warm for all but the coldest weather. ROMAN APRONS. ‘We are nothing if not artistic, medieval or antique nowadays, and as the five o'clock tea of our English cousins is to be naturalized here during the coming fall and winter we shall be likely to cast about for the latest thing in after- noon toilettes proper to be worn on such occa- sions. The afternoon tea is by no means a new thing in England. It isa very old insti- tution, and ladies here always indulge in con- siderable latitude in re to dress, makin; it as unconventional as possible, and as a nal as taste and means would Lately, the rage for “arti rise iD jakes beauty. “Ot couree, the five o'clock teas being “At Home ™ affairs afford the largest scope for the indulgence of fanciful ideas. he latest caprice fy the Roman apron, familiar to ever; reader of books and magazines asa strip of | Striped cloth folded over at the top so as to | form a double border, which is deeply fringed | and constitutes, in fact, a double apron, with | out fulines. and_reaching nearly to the bottom ofa short dress.

JENNIE JUNE. aregory vs. Gregory. A FORMER WASHINGTON HOTEL- KEEPER SUED FOR DIVORCE. On the 17th of last April Mrs. William J. iregory. of No. 125 Bergen avenue, Jersey City Heights, through her lawyers,’ Messrs. Williams and Cowles, filed a complaint in the New Jersey court of chancery alleging adait. ery on the part of her husbaid and asking a divorce. Thi Y which 1s told in her pro- ceedings for alimony is as follows: Mr. Greg- | ory is a young man well to do, moving in good | society.” Some years ago he Was the. proprie. tor ofa hotel iin Washington (the Kirkwood | House), and became intimately acquainted With Secretary Robeson. Through his infiu- ence, it is said, John W. Bigelow, naval con. tractor, got several large contracts for the supply of stores, on which Gregory was given a iiberal per centage. In 1872 he moved to City and bought a handsome residence on Bergen avenue, now occupied by his wife. He kept fast horses, among them the teotting mare Vermont Maid. In 1s75 he was the re publican candidate for the assembly in the 6°h district of Jeisey City, and was defeated. He sold his horses some time ago, being unable, it is said, to bear the expense of his stable. He had married in 1869 falsey, and the child, a son, 1 seven years of age. ne Louse on Bergen avenue Gregory's father and his wife’s mother lived with them. Early this year Mr. Gregory left his wife and child and Went to a boarding house in. Wayne street kept by Cornelia C. Greene, making no provision for their support. ‘Mis. Gregory aleges that he ts unduly inti- mate with Mrs. Greene, whom he had Known in Washingion. This Mr. Gregory denies, but he has decided not to offer any opposition to his wife’s demand for a divorce. ; Greene, who has two children, was formerly employed in the Treasury department at | Washington, and also kept a boarding house in that y. She claims that Gregory is only a boarder iu her house, paying her $15 a week. ‘The other side maintain that he defrays all the expenses of the establishment, and became surety to Mrs. Greene's taudlord for the pay- ment of the rent. When the divorcee proceedings were begun Mr. Gregory agreed Lo pay lis w fe#W) coutiyel fee and #10 a week alimony. These promises he subsequently repudiated. Mrs. Gregory's lawyers sued “him, and on a judgment ar rested him. He thereupon paid the counsel fee. The aliowance for his wife's support, however, was Shortly afterwards stopped. Mrs. Gregory’s mother has a private income of about $1,200 4 year, and out of this the house. hold expenses are now paid. Mr. Gregory sets uP extrcone perry in defense of the claim for alimony.—[ . World, July 2ist. The Hanlon-Ross Boat Race. ROSS GETS UPSET AND HANLON WINS THE RACE The Ross-Hanlon boat race came to a climax esterday, and ended in a slight catastroplie. uthe afiernvon matiers were straightened up, and from four to five o'clock the water Was in excellent condition. At 4:40 Sheriif Handing, the referee, arrived on an engine, and landed amidst loud and coutinued cheers irom the crowd on shore. A row boat being nreadiuess, the sheriff was soon taken on board the judges’ boat, and at 4:45 she steamed down to Tarryburn cove. The signal to come out was at once suunded and in three minutes Koss Was vut in his boat, stripped to the bull as in the morniug. Hanlon appeared two minutes later, with a biue shirt as before, and received loud cheers from the crowd on the Judges’ boat. At five o'clock the men were piven their instructions and ordered into line. ile water wasin good condition, when at 8 ; minutes and 20 seconds past five the men were sent off, Hanlon being inside. Ross took the ead and struck out vig theta pulling 32 to oli the minute. Hanlon lowed at the same pace, but pulling a longer stroke soon got even, and before he reached Appleby’s waart he had ree) Ross. Abovethe wharf Hanion was pulling 32strokes, going along beautifully, Ross following at 30 strokes. Three hundred yardsfrom Appleby’s wharf Koss’ boat was seen to capsize, and for a moment it was feared he had been drowned. It was soon seen, however, that he was clinging to bis boat, and a boat went off and picked him up. Ross aye the spring of the rowlock worked out and he upset, breaking the box of the boat. Hanlon meantime went up the course, taking his time, however, and went round the stake boat at . On his return he showed some fine rowing, but did not over-exert_ him- self, He reached the poet in about 37 miu- utes. The accident did not appear to do Ross any harm. When taken on board the judges’ boat he was very reticent, feeling very badly over the way he lost the race. He says the boat got in bad condition soon after the race Started, abd that he was watching the boat and not Haplon. General regret was felt at Koss’ misforiune, but the prevailing opinion was that he was over-matched. Appleby’s wharf is three-quarters of a mie from the Start. Hanlon was a length ahead, and Ross struggled gamely while rowing. There was great excitement on shore during the contin- uance of the contest, but the accident to Koss of course threw a damper over the day’s sport. Hanlon’s time to the scene of the accident was about six minutes. AN UNPROVOKED MURDER.—Henry Jack- son, aged 17, took a younger boy out iato deep water, at Leavenworth, Kan., and deliberate- ly drowned him. The deed seems to have been without a definite motive, except to kill somebody. Jackson says that he had no ili- will toward his victim, but he had mate up his mind that he would like to be hanged as a murderer. THE Way TO Goov Times.—Curse the cap- italists ; frighten them all youcan. Do not let them gointo business. If they show any dis- position to do so, call a meeting; get up a set of rules and regulations for managing the busi- ess 80 as to bieak them up as soon as ible, and threaten those who will not go in under the rules until they gather up their money aud leave the country, as they have already begun todo. Nothing ‘heips times so much as to let men know that if they get more by working hard than you do by ibleness that you will com- 1 them to divide. They will work all the arder for such encou! ment. Go right ahead with your communi: de sponcheti they are doing a great deal of good. All that is necessary is to follow it up, and we will soon be on the ground floor, all equal—all poor. all idle, all worthless.—[ Franklin (Pa.)
