A¥ te Avenue company has heretofore expressed itself In favor of the interchange, there is no doubt that it will resd- Ny co-operate in this arrangement. The only difficulty to be obviated 1s that occasioned by the use of the bell-punch on the Avenue line; the tickets of the other lines being too thick’ for ‘he punch. It will not take long. however, to te this difficulty if the companies work together to that end. ‘THe DAtRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION Met at Mont Vernon hall Saturday evening; Mr. C. F. Siz- SS and Mr. J. W.

Cameron—the action brought. by Mr. M. S. Oll- yer ag!. Hon. Simon Cameron for breach of promise of marriage, alleged to have been made onthe 7th of December, 1875, for which $50,000 damages are claimed. Mr. Peter—who ape with Mr. Darnellleand Mr. Tonrv, of Kentacky. of ber counsel—said they were ready Mr. Cook, who is associated with Gen. Butler and Mr. Riddle for Mr. Cameron, sald !hat they were ready, and suggested that thoy would prefer a long panel. ‘Mr. Peter read from sth Gill and Johnson as to the mode of challenging a juror. Mr. Cook stggested that there was authority to challenge the whole array. The court asked what causes they proposed to challer ge for. Mr. Veter suggested that the terms of the statute may be complied with, and there was another question as to whether or not they had expresced an opinion on itie case. After some discussion, the court, at 12% oclock, took a recess, prior to swearing the jurors on their voir dire. During the recess Mis. Oliver, accompanied by Miss Chariton, eame in, and when the session was resumed, there was a crowded court rooin. Mr. Peter,'who had placed his motlon in writing, read It. ‘The court directed a juror to be called, and W. H. Diggs was called and the usual questions were answered. Mr. Peter asked if the Juror knew the parties r stout. J. B. Wells, D. Castleman were called. Mr. Peter counsel for platniiif excepted to the the court as toeach juror. It was then proposed that if the challenge to the array be witadrawn each juror could be questioned t2 asc there was Cause for challenge. i A JURY. n called as follows and took seats in the box: W.

Clark, R, Gaskins, Jared Dorsey, Wm. Rothwell, and James E. Rogerson. At 1.55 the above were sworn to try the fssue and MR. DARNEILLE OPENED THE CASE, briefly reciting that the case was for breach of ee of marriage on the part of the defe: lant. The facts out of which this cause arose run through several years, the acquatutance- ship commenced in isi2. He understood that in that year Mrs. Oliver came here to seek em- ployment. bearing letters to Mr. Cameron, wio seems to have known her father and also some- thing of her husband. Mr. Cameron secured her employment in the Treasury department and subsequently in the Interior department, The first year of their acquaintance (1573) thi proposition of marriage was mae, and they expected to prove that the forinal proposition Was made in 1875. The defendant having failed to come to time, she became nervous, and called on him several times, and while he never Atively refused, he never performed ft. inding herself thus mocked she commenced this action. They could not fully compensate the Injuries to a woundod heart, but they could give jamages, and after they’ had presented the case they expected the jury to fix the damages. « Gen.

Butler said that he would like to ask this lady a few questions as to her own position in life, with a View to shorten the case.

Subsequently, however. the weaker of the two declined to tigut It out in this way, and proposed a duel with navy pistols. His rival acquiesced, and they agreed to meet at a certain point and shoot it out. One had made his will, leaving all his earthly Pee) to his fair dulcena, and the other had appointed administrators of bis estate, but vefore they met in deadly combat the sheriff got wind of the affair and had them both ar- rested and bound over to keep the peace. —[(Lec- ington Ky.)

Dupre. of the Picayune, who wanted to talk about the printing contract. As the governor was some- what peppery, Mr. Dupre exclaimed: “The cniy answer I could make you would be toslap your face, but as you are cripple I cannot do it.” Mr. Dupre was urged to retire. And yet there are people who are wondering why Nic- aolis want to resign. ft Advices from Russia report that Colonel Knoop of the Gendarmerie has been strangled by the Nihilists. §@ A bachelor who lately died in Manchester, England, leit his property to the thirty women who had refused his matrimonial offers He said in his will that to their refusals he owed the peace he had enjoyed during life, and that he felt himself their debtor.
