Miss Allen, who lives on Q street northwest, was on an Avenue car yesterday about 4 o'clock with her aunt en route to East Washington to visit some friends. A man entered, and, tak- ing his seat opposite, began to smile and bow to the young lady in a very familiar manner. She noticed at first a resemblance of a man of her acquaintance, named Webster, but not having seen him for some time, hesitated about speaking. Finally led to believe by the continued attention of the man it was her ac- quaintance returned hi came over and took ereupon he is seat beside her and began aconversation. She asked im medfatel if he was Col. Webster, to which he replied: “No I am not Col.

ACTION OF THE DISTRICT SUPREME COURT TO-DAY. In the Court in General Term this morning, all the justices present, District-Attorney Hoge, ina neat and appropriate address. presented to the court the resolutions adopted at the meeting of the 9th inst. in respect to the memory of the late Justice Merrick He said that it was fit and proper that the resolutions should be spread upon the minutes of the court in which there were so many evidences of his work, of his integrity, his justice, his learning. He moved that the resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the court. Chief Justice Bingham said the resolutions manifest and express, so far as may be by acts and words, the esteem and affection of the bar for their deceased friend, the late Justice Mer- rick, and their sorrow at his demise. The reso- lutions thus recorded will convey to future generations in language well chosen and truth- fal in igen ote the many virtues and great ability which characterized him as a man, law- yer, legislator, and jurist. “For the associates of the deceased on the bench who survive him, Tam sure that I may say for one and all that the resolutions receive their sincere and unquali- fied indorsement, and that they experienced a double bereavement in the loss of a dearly- beloved friend and an honest, faithful, learned, and able associate in the dischar, ties imposed on the justices of this court. In intercourse with his brethren of the bench his equanimity, affability, and geniality never for- sook him. His loss will long be deeply de- plored by the bench and bar of this community and the country, nor will it be easy to fill the position which our brother in life ocenpied and adorned as a justice of this court. e order is made as requested by the honorable district attorney, that the resolutions be spread in full upon the records of this court.” sabes nas ae Tue Feperat.

Walker, and others, asking that certain property be declared held in trust for complain- ants. ey allege that they were induced by defendants to believe that their interests as heirs of the late Richard Young, in fifty-two ieces of property, near Lincoln park, were of But little value, and in December, 1986, and February, 1887, they conveyed their interests (four-fifths) to defendants for £750, believing that they were getting full value. They assert that they were then deceived; that the price was grossly inadequate, and that they had a clear title to the property, worth about 250,000. As most of the property has been sold, and the roceeds reinvested by defendants, they pray That the property in which the proceeds ave been reinvested be declared held in trust for the benefit of complainants. a Fat.ep To AoREE.—Saturday afternoon Chief Justice Bingham, holding the Circut Court, division No. 1, discharged the jury in the case of Taulman et al. agt. Toss, on which they haa deliberated for twenty-seven hours and failed to agree upon a verdict. This was a contro- versy between cousins, and three acres of land near Glenwood, valued at about $70,000, were involved. This property wasin the name of D. T. Taulman and deeded by him to his son, John D., and both died shortly afterward. The others of the family claimed that the convey- ance should be set aside, as D. T. Taulman was mentally incompetent to make a valid deed at the time. ——-_—_ Louis James axp His Wire Sepanate.— Louis James and Marie Wainwright are no longer living together as man and wife, and if there were any doubts that their announced intention to separate professionally at the end of the present season was due to domestic differences, these doubts are now set at rest. Mr. James (the well-known actor, who is a na- tive of this city,) is said to have discovered recently that he had lost his wife’s affections, and a mutual eement to separate was at once made. Marie Wainwright was the wife of man named Slaughter when she went on the stage. When playing at the Boston museum she became acquainted with James, and the acquaintance soon ripened into love. $ Slaughter’s suspicions were aroused, and hav- ing learned facts which convinced him of his wife's unfaithfulness, he procured a divorce. James and Mrs. Slaughter were then married, Marie Wainwright James isa | payee aod of the late Bishop Wainwright, of the Protestant Episcopal church, and a near relative of Com- modore Trion, of the United States navy.

ROVAL BAKING .LINCOLN AND HAMLIN. The Surviving Member of the Ticket Tells a Eucher Story. Hannibal Hamlin's Speech in Chicago. First, allow me to state that the first intima- tion that I had that I was to be placed upon the ticket with Abraham Lincoln came to me through the lips of Schuyler Colfax. I was playing a pleasant game of eucher in my room. My colleague, Senator Fessenden; Senator Grimes, of the state of Iowa, and a member of the House from Maine constituted the party; and we were smoking our cigars, as I was just now when you deprived me of smoking mine quietly, when there was a tramping of feet in the corridors of the Washington hotel, where I was tarrying, a loud rap at the door, and the abrupt entrance of Schuyler Colfax at the head of the procession, which approached and addressed me as the Vice-President of the United States. Well, now, my friends, I held in my hand at that instant the most magnifie cent tone hand you ever saw. [held the best cards—both bowers and an ace and another ace; and don't you think that barbarous crowd burst in upon me and 1 LOST MY LONE HAND. Well, Iseized upon my chair in an uplifted position, and said to Schuyler Colfax: “Clear out of this room! You have despoiled a lone hand in eucher, and you have brought me no fitting return.” Why, I had no more idea of having the nomination to that office than I had of being struck by lightning. Well, that was the first step. The next was after election. After the election President Lincoln kindly in- vited me to meet him at the Tremont House, of this city. He kindly fixed the time so that it would accommodate me to meet him here, and for me to depart from this city to Wash- ington to be present at the opeaing of Con- gress. I met tc at the Tremont House. I arrived upon the day named. I reported my- self at the office and I inquired if the Presi- dent-elect, Mr. Lincoln, was present in the house, as told that he was. I sent him my card, and immediately I was invited to his room. I repaired to the room, the door was opened by the servant. and there was President Lincoln.” He approached me with his ex- tended hand, to which I tendered mine, and that was the first shake of the hand between us on earth. Addison on Woman Suffrage. HOW THE ESSAYIST MINGLED COMPLIMENT AND PROPHECY. From Macmillan'’s Magazine. Addison alone has hit upon the one argu- ment most likely to give the female politician pause. ‘A man is startled,” he has written (in “The Freeholder,” No. 26) ‘when he sees a pretty bosom heaving with such party rage as is disagreeable even in that sex which is of a more course and rugged make. And yet such is our misfortune that we sometimes see a pair of stays ready to burst with sedition, and hear the most masculine passions expressed in the sweetest of voice.” And again (in No. 38 of the same paper): “There is nothing which makes the sex more unamiable than party rage. The finest woman in a transport of fury loses the use of her face, The most endearing of our beautiful fellow- subjects are those whose minds are the least embittered with the passions and prejudices of either side, and who discover the native sweet- ness of the sex in every part of their converaa- tion and behavior. A lovely woman, who then flourishes in her innocence and good humor amid that mutual spite and rancor which pre- vail among her exasperated sisterhood, appears more amiable by the singularity of her charac- ter,and may be compared with Solomon's bride, to ‘a lily among thorns,’ Astateswoman is as ridiculous a creature as a cotquean (i. e., a man who busies himself with women’s duties). Each of the sexes should keep within its par- ticular bounds and content themselves to excel within their respective districts, When Venus complained to Jupiter of the wound she had received in battle, the father of the gods smiled upon her and put her in mind that”— but here Addison must stop. A Disappornrep Artist Muisstva.—Frank Ranbickek, a New York artist, has been missing since the 12th instant, and there is every reason to believe that he has committed suicide by drowning. He re- cently completed a picture which he confiden- tially informed his friends was his best work. He seta high pri yn it, and failing to sell it in the city, told his wife he was going to Boston to find a purchaser. On Tuesday Mrs. Ranbic- kek receiveda letter from her husband, in. which he told her that he was going to drown himself with his picture strapped to his body, Nothing has been heard of him since. — see CoLLAPsE OF A FourTEEN-story Burpixa.— One of the tallest office buildings in America collapsed in Chicago yesterday morning. It was the Owings block, a Gothic structure four- teen stories high, on the corner of Dearborn and Adams streets, just opposite the post-office, in the center of the business district. The workmen rushed out in time to escape safely from the wreck. President Lincoln’s birthday was celebrated by the Massachusetts club in Boston Saturday by a_ banquet, at which ex-Gov.
