Up to the day of her departure she was on terms of inti- macy with Mrs. Boyle, who is described by those who know her as “a nice little woman,” asking her when she had heard from her husband, when he would be back. ete. After Miss Hurdle left, Mrs. Boyle had her suspicionsaroused by several persons whe had become aware of a great de- gree of intimacy between her husband and her friend, which lad been matter of common report forsome time. After Miss Hurdle’s marriage to Smith was announced in the papers here, she came home, it is said, and invited her mother and sistersand Mrs. Boyle to accompany her to itimore to see her husband, “Harry Smith.” Finding that Mrs. Boyle was preparing to go with her, Miss Hurdle departed without waitin; her invited gueats. This served to stren; Mrs. Boyle's suspictions, and she de- termined to go to Baltimore, and did so, in company with a female relative. After consulting the police authorities she took with her a detective to look up her truant hus- band. Finding that he was at work at his trade —bricklaying—they proceeded to the buildin; where he was employed. The detective asked Mrs, Boyle to poiut out her husband among the men at work, but she was so nervous that she had to retire to a drug store in the neighborhood. to compose herself The detective crossed the street and asked a hod carrier to point Boyle out, which he did. The detective then went on the scaffolding and accosting Boyle told him that his wife was waiting to see him at the drug store opposite. He unsuspectingly came down, and as he entered seemed considerably astonished meeting his Georgetown wife and exclaimed What in h——1 do you mean by running after 2" He did not deny that he was living with Miss Hurdle, who it is reported was registered on the hotel books as “Mrs. Boyle.” The bona fide Mrs. Boyle then tried to discover evidence of a marriage between the parties in Baltimore, but could not find aminister of the name printed, or any other who had performed a marriage cere- mony between Miss Hurdleand Boyle, or “Smith.” Boyle afterwards came home for his clothing, as heretofore stated. Mrs. Boyle—the deserted wife—was married in Baltimore in April, 1873, by the Rev. L. D. Maier, her maiden name be- ing Geiger. She is of excellent family, and is a very prepossessing and well educated lady. She as been married eight years, being but 16 years age when married, which makes her but 24 years now—her husband being 15 years older. She is almost heartbroken at the affair, and thinks her husband more sinned against than sinning. Boyle, it is said, had a wife before he married her, but claimed that he had been di- vorced. The statement that Miss Hurdle was employed in the store of the Boyles was errone- ous. —>__ C. and 0. Cana? Interests, FIRST COAL TRAIN OVER THE NEW CROSSING. At Cumberland, Md., yesterday, the first coal carried to the Chesapeake and Ohio canal over the Georges Creek and Cumberland railroad was taken over the crossing and connection of the Baltimore and Ohio road. The train of hopy ers with coal of the American Company was taken by one of the new railroad’s engines to the point of connection, where a Baltimore and Ohio engine took the train to the basin wharf. There the coal loaded on canalboat George Sher- man and shipped for Georgetown. THE LENGTHENED LOCKS.

ALONG PETITION AGAINST THE ASPHALT NUISANCE. A petition over eleven feet long, signed by 348 citizens and property holders in the north- eastern section of the city against the location of the Asphalé rendering nuisance on North Capitol, between K azd L streets, belonging to Messrs. Fletcher, Murdoch az4- Baily, paving contractors, was handed to the Commissioners yesterday afternoon. To-day the health oficer notified the asphal company to discontinue the nuisance at once. A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. Superintendent of property John B. Clarke, yesterday afternoon sent a complaint to the Commissioners that for some time past without his consent horses have been taken from the public stables by the foreman of engine com- pany No. 4, or some one of that company, by his direction and used; that on Sunday last one of the police ambulance horses. was used, and another horse kept for the assessors use was taken; that the latter was found in his stall early the next morning with a sweat coated into his hair, showing that the animal had been badly used and not properly groomed when re- turned. Mr. Clarke further states that the fore- man of the company claims to have authority from the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department to use any of the District horses when in his jndgment one is needed. He recommends that ‘as soon as a horse can be spared, he be au- thorized to turn it over to this company for the exclusive use of the Fire Department; and that it be fed from the forage of that department. Re- ferred to the Chief Engineer. It is stated by the officers of the fire depart- ment, and will be so reported to the District Commissioners to-day, that the horse in ques- tion was used to haul fuel to keep the cooling apparatus for the relief of the President going, in accordance with general instructions of the fire department to use all means and appliances available in the emergency growing out of the President’s illness.

Health Officer Townshend has taken steps to investigate the recent deaths from lockjaw, caused by wounds inflicted with the toy pistols. He will request the history of each case from the physicians in attendance, and classify the records. One object of this examination ‘is to determine whether the lockjaw was produced in the ordinary way or whether there is not some peculiar poisonous quality in the powder used in the pistols. THE COST OF POLICEMAN DUBOIS’ DEFENCE. Acting First Controller J. Tarbell, in reply to the letter of the District Commissioners of the 21st inst. in relation to certain costs in the suit against Wm. Dubois, a member of the Metro- | | politan police, and’ asking the opinion of the controller as to what fund said costs would properly be charagble against, states that the costs can be paid out of the appropriation for Judicial expenses. THE SCHOOL REPAIR FUND. The school committee on buildings and repairs have sent a report to the District: Commissioners, in which they state that the appropriation for repairs for the year beginningJulet, 881, should be divided among the several school divisions as follows: Ist division, $1,379.60; 2d do., 832.20; 3d do., $836.60; 4th do., €1, 20; 5th do., $1,006.80; 6th do., $720, 7th do. ,000. This is areduction of 20 per cent on the original esti- mate, making altogether $7,901.40, and leaving a reserve fund of $2,198.60 for repairs in case of building inepector. 2 es Pienies, Excursions, &c.

The paper has been referred to the | Clay Stier, A. K. Tingle, J. F. Saum and F. D- Power—have addressed a circular to the various churches of the Disciples throughout the coun- try, which, after quoting articles from the Chris- tian Standard and the Evangelist, says: .“‘In harmony with the above suggestions brethren out of Washington, we make gee So far, toward the erection of a suit- le house of worship in this city, we have $16,- 000. Itis our desire to build such a house a8 will accommodate our See con; fons and fairly representour brotherhood at the cap- ital of the nation. To do this not less than $20,- 000 more is needed. The President is a roguler and devout worshiper with us. The church the President attends is the church of the strangers visiting Washington from all parts of our coun- try and from foreign lands, and thus we have large opportunities to present the Gospel to the ple. In the providence of God the President as just _been delivered from the very gates of death. It was the purpose. of the assassin to strike him while worshiping in the house of God. We would give an offering of thanks for this deliverance, and commemorate God’s signal mercy in the escape of our brother from the as- sassin’s blow by the erection of a house of wor- ship in Washington, to be known as ‘The Memo- rial Christian Church.’ Will you join us in this effort, and at your meeting the second Lord’s day in August, or your first regular meeting thereafter, take such subscriptions and collec- tions as the people may be willing to give? Re- mittances can be made, by postal order or draft on New York, to J. F. Saum, treasurer, 921 Lou- isiana ayenue, or F. D. Power, pastor, 1321 Cor- coran street, Washington, D.C. The following circular was issued from Chica- go on the 7thinst. To the Christian Brother- hood: You will bear with us in the suggestion we are about to make, which has no doubt already occurred to many of you, and to which we now beg leave to invite the attention of the others. The treasurer of the Washington city church fund has just submitted a statement of the condition of that fund, in which it appears that our contributions have so far been shame- fully meagre. We have been slow to enter the open door, which God in his providence set be- fore us, and which was so nearly closed again, and forever, by the assassin’shand. Tis said that “blessings brighten as they take their flight,” and never did our opportunity seem so great as when it was passing away, and never did our want of zeal and liberality, and appre- ciation of a great trust, appear so utterly inex- cusable as when God seemed hiding his face from us. But the great opportunity so nearly removed is here in its fullness again—the door almost closed is once more set wide open before us. God has heard the prayers of his people, and has given back to us the life of our beloved President and brother, James A. Garfield. It is fitting that we should render thanksgiving to God for this signal display of his goodness and power. And what more appropriate expression of gratitude could we give than to build at the national capital a memorial church incommemo- ration of his mercy in restoring to us this great and goodman? And in order that we may act unitedly in this great interest, we would sug- gest the second Lord's day in August be set aside’as a day of thanksgiving to God, and that on that day a collection be taken and pledges be received for the Washington church fund, our offerings to be an expression of our gratitude to God, and the church we build a memorial of his mercy.

The slow responses received to the appeal made last winter is accounted for on the ground of the severity of the winter. The greater part of the membership of the Christian church in this country isin the west. The severe weather made personal communication difficult. The organs of the denomination very heartily com- mend the scheme of making a thanksgiving offering towards the erection of this church. age DEATH OF A V1 RABLE Lapy.—Mrs. Susan- nah A. Savage, relict of the late George Savage, and mother of Mr. Joseph L. Savage, died this morning at her residence, corner of Delaware avenue and B street northeast, in the 76th year of her She had been in feeble health for several years past, and especially since the death of her husband. Mrs. Savage was a na- tive of Baltimore, where she was married in 1826, and removed with her husband at once to this city, where she has ever since resided. She was of a most cheerful and kind disposition,and alarge circle of friends will mourn her depar- igre.” The funeral will probably take place next Tuesday morning from St Joysius church. from this DEATH OF AN OLD WASHINGTONIAN IN NEW Mexico.—John H. McCutchen, z former resident, of this city, died suddenly at Socorro, N. M. the 10th inst., inthe 56th year of his age. came to this city and resided here until he was 45 years of age, following his profession of the law. In 1870, on account of ill health, he removed to Salt Lake, Utah, where he resided seven years. Thence he went to Deadwood, and after practicing law there three years and meet- ing with reverses in the great Deadwood fire he left and settled in New Mexico. He leavesa wife and two children. He was greatly respected in Socorro and his funeral was largely attended. He was a Christadelphian and when he resieed here was a member of the Christadelphian Ec- elesia on Capilol Hill, He was also a member of the Washington board of common council under the old municipal system. The deceased was a Marylander. He mar- ried Miss Annie Dawes, daughter of the late Dr. Frederick Dawes, and she with two children survive him and were with him at the time of his death. Three of his sisters also survive him— Mrs. J. C. Gibson and Mrs. E. E. Griffin, of this city, and Mrs. Robert Coggins, of New York. Judge McCutchen left here for the far west in 1870 and spent first seven years in Salt Lake City, then went to Deadwood, in Dakota terri- tory, spending three years there, and for a few years past has resided in New Mexico. gee Alexandria Affairs, Reported for THE EVENING Star. City Money For 1881-'82.—The appropria- tions made by the city council for the cost of Tunning the city foot up this year $77,832.50, while the appropriations last year were $79,625, and very considerable additional appropriation had to be made during the year.The appropriation for salaries is increased 5 per cent. For cleaning and repairing streets 33 per cent. The court appropriation expanded from $3,600 to $4,000. A new item of $150 for fire plugs is introduced. Otherwise there is little change, It is to be ex- pected, however, that considerable additions will be required to several of the appropriations. B ESS LIceNSES.—More money has been paid in for business licenses up to this time than during any similar portion of the fiscal year for many years. The mayor does not think he has aright to credit licenses when the corporation law requires that license shall be a eash busi- ness. Either, he says, the licenses must be paid or the city borrow money to meet its engage- ments, and he does not think one citizen has a right to compel another citizen to help to pay interest on licenses issued on credit. Court House BerrerMENts.-— The county court room and clerk's offices at the Bld court house on Columbus street have been very much improved under the supervision of Mr. Ben. Austin, the county clerk. The jury, instead of setting in a sort of pit below the judge, so that the judge could not see them when he spoke to them,-have been placed upon an elevated plat- | form to the right of the court, as in other court | houses. The railings have been changed so as | to give the clerk more room and make the sher- iff's seat more available and give him a view of | the whole court room. The court room has been handsomely painted and the walls tinted. ‘The clerk's office has been painted, grained, re- modeled and put in complete order.” ” County Court.—Judge Sangster will open the county court on Monday. Among the cases to come up are those of Orlando and Jacob Burch. charged with assault upon Daniel M. Aiken, at Arlington, and that of Goings for assault and battery. A special grand jury been sum- moned, and some indictments will be found; but it is thought that the trial of the Burch-Aiken case will be ‘poned.

The Burlingame Divorce Sait. THE PRACTICAL WORKIXGS OF AN UNWHOLE- ‘The unique document published below is the answer of Franklin Burlingame to his wife's petition for divorce from him. The plaintiff, Mrs. Burlingame, bases her application for divorce upon the grounds of desertion, ill-treat_ ment of herself and children, and of general im_ morality in theory and practice on the part of Burlingame. Burlingame has conducted the news stand in the Capitol carridor near the main entrance to the hall of Representatives for years, and his wife has assisted him. Some months ago, while Mrs. B. was quite ill, Burlin- game moved all the furniture from the house they occupied !m Sherman's row on F street, between Ist and 2d northeast. Burlingame’ free-love ideas and practices had, it is alleged, been the cause of continued trouble between husband and wife. He had taken a fancy to a female fortune-teller and insisted upon shari his home with her. To this Mrs. B. objected, and finally he concluded to tak@up his abode with the fortune-teller. In leaving his wife Burlingame told her he had no complaint to make against her, but they had been married twenty years and her magnetism was exhausted; that he wanted to find a female companion of the magnetic kind. Some of the neighbors learned of Burlingame’s desertion of his wife, and provided her with the attention her con- dition required. The next incident in the fam- ily difficulty was an attempt of Burlingame’s to take forcible possession of his youngest child, a child so roughly that some of the neighbors interfered. The result was that Burlingame got knocked down and the child escaped. The charge made by the wife that Burlingame abuses his children can be substantiated by several families residing in Sherman’s row. Since Bur- lingame left his family his wife has had no home of her own. The children have been staying with neighbors near her. When the youngest boy first left his father the members of the family into which he was recelved say he was \jterally covered with bruises and welts, and had besides several running sores caused by beatings and kickings his father had administered. The people of Sherman’s row generally pronounce Burlingame crazy. IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Sarah A. Burlingame vs. Equity No. 77. Franklin Burlingame. To the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Holding an Equity Court for said District: THE DEFENDANT REPLIES AS FOLLOWS: 1st. That his legal residence is in the town of Warwick, in the state of Rhode Island, That he came to Washington asa soldier in the Union army, and has since resided here because he has most of the time been employed by the U.S. gov- ernment. 2d. That he was married, and has children, as stated by the plaintiff in her complaint. 3d. The defendant has no wish to attack any statement the plaintiff makes in relation to her conduct during the twenty-one. years of their married life, and sincerely regrets that he is required to defend himself from any attack on the part of the plaintiff. He is compelled to deny the charge of desertion contained in this count, and to assert in the most positive and truthful manner that it is unjust and untrue, and that the idea of desertion was never entertained by and is very repugnant to him. 4th. This count charges that about eight years ago the defendant abandoned the Christian church, became an Infidel, a Spiritualist, and a “believer in the so-ealled doctrine of Free Love, and from that time ceased to be either a good husband or a kind father.” The defendant ad- mits with profound satisfaction that he ‘‘aban- doned the Christian church” (somewhat longer ago than the time named); that he “became an Infidel,” a Spiritualist and a believer in Social Freedom. He, however, denies that “from that time he ceased to be either a good husband or a kind father,” and claims that these proofs of moral, intellectual and spiritual growth have been priceless aids to him in all the relations of life. The defendant avers in this connection that the plaintiff also abandoned the Christian church at the same time, and has not. to the best of his knowledge and belief, been inside of one since: that she also became, and has eyer since been known as an Infidel, a Spiritualist and a believer in Social Freedom, And as sufficient proof of this, the defendant cites the fact that our young- est child, now néarly 9 years of age, is named after one of the grandest Infidels and Spiritual- ists of modern times. 5 n this connt the defendant is charged with “brutal and ferocious” treatment of the hildren, and threats of personal punishment to the plaintiff at times when she i fered in their behalf. “Brutal and ferocious” are very repulsive sud expressive words, and excite in the mind of the-defendant a feeling of deep ab- horrence. They are grossly unjust and untruth- fulin their application, and the defendant be- lieves would be repudiated by the children them- selves in an unbiased expression of pinion. The views of the plaintiff and defendant upsn arental disciplime have clashed, and this fact has greatly increased the difficulty of attaining to the best methods of training the children. The defendant has never punished the children when he would not gladly have received more severe yunishment himself if the object could as well fave been attaimed in that way. -While in the opinion of the defendant the children excelled in obedience, respectfulness, affection, modesty, good manners, &c., they were afflicted with two gross and pernicious vices which were intensely aggravating to the defendant, and very destruc- tive to themselves. These exasperating vices were lying and stealing. They operated in the defendant’s business with the most vicious and perplexing results. The neecssity of suffering the consequences and the responsibility of cor- recting these devices devolved almost entirely upon the defendant. The plaintiff's contribution to this very trying branch of domestic life con- sisted mostly of theory and criticism, which as often as they were put to the test were acknowl- edged by the plaintiff herself to be utterly futile and valueless. 6th. This count is composed of a charge of the habitual use of vulgar, profane and blasphemous language in the presence of the children, an ac- count of the efforts of the plaintiff to counteract: its influence and an expression of her fears for the future of the children unless they are placed in her custody. Inregard to the use of vulgar language the defendant is obliged to deny not only the habit of using it, but that he was ever known to use it by his most intimate associates, including the plaintiff, and he invites any member of this com. munity, in which he has lived for the past seven- teen years, to name the time or place, when or where he ‘ever used a single expression that could be truthfully described as vulgar. As to what is commonly thought to be profane and blasphemous language the defendant is com- pelled to admit that he habituatly and deliber- ately uses it with more personal satisfaction than is perhaps agreeable to his friends and as- sociates. If, however, this is a ground for di- yorce most members of our legislature, execu- tive and judiciary, especially including the able and ambitious young lawyer who framed this complaint which Iam required to answer, are in as unsuspected danger as was the defendant = the time these charges were sprung upon him, ‘7th. This count charges neglect in providing for the family, the diversion of income into im- proper and unknown channels and the conse- quent imposition of unreasonable hardships in business ‘and household affairs, resulting in severe and protracted disease. The defendant dentes in full and in detail each and all of the charges contained in this count, and avers that the plaintiff continually and vol- mesiy scknowleded “the ee to have mn & generous provider durii many years of their married Tite up to the time of ill- advised complaint.

That about eight Years ago, in a public hall, before a society of Spiritualists and Free-thinkers, while the plain- tiff was seated by his side, the defendant an- nounced himself, with her approval and en- couragement, to be an uncompromising advo- cate of Social Freedom—that since that time the plaintiff has not at any moment been one whit hind the defendant in the vigor of her belief in this principle. In regard to Spiritualism, while the defendant’s belief in its essential fea- ture has been strong and persistent, that of the plaintiff, though generally assenting, has often wayered and was never strong and decided. The defendant, therefore, fecls that whatever of odium in the Gpinion of the court attaches to an honest belief, especially in Social Freedom, should justly be shared by each, or neutralized as a factor in this suit for diyorce. In regard to the charge of desertion, the de- fendant has never ceased to feel the greatest i It is unjust and untruthful.. It is con- trary to his desire and intention.

The de- fendant, at some personal inconvenience, it being Saturday night, arranged to remove the furniture, but on sending word learned that the plaintiff had been deceived in regard to the house in Grant’s Row, and was not quite ready to part with the furniture, and it is yet in her possession. The defendant was then informed that the plaintiff had concluded to remain where she was, and that the rent of the house for five Love as it is pur- plaintiff was again deceived, visited the agents, the house would have to be vacated.

He desires, however, to state that inas- much as justice dictates that the mother should have the first claim to her own offspring, he will interpose no objection to the plaintiffs prayer for ine custody of the children. And as the laintiff devcted her labor and energies to the bailaing up and su>taining of the business at the Capitol, the defendant is more than willing to turn over to the plaintiff all his right, title and interest in said business, with his sincere wishes for her success. He also desires to interpose no possible objection to a decree of divorce upon any ground which will not be unjust to him. He is further willing to turn over to the plaintiff every article of property which he possesses in the world in exchange for the bi personal freedom.
