A Trenton dispatch to the New York Times says: Awoman who said she was Charlotte Smith of Washington, D. C., entered the chan- cery office thix afternoon and asked if the records of the court showed that Edward Smith of Jersey City and Charlotte Smith had been ivorced, Examination disclosed a record of their divorce on August 23, 1883, When this information was given to the woman she became excited, declaring that she ago. She then explained her strange conduct by saying that her husband had died about a year ago, and when she made mquiry concerning the large estateahat he left she hag been informed tha an absolute divorce had been granted to him. Mrs. Smith is « handsome woman of fair complexion and iron-gray hair. Her language indicated that she was a woman of education. ‘The divorce papers set forth that she deserted her husband and that no service could be made on her because her address was unknown. She alleges that she separated from her husband because of meompatibility of temperament and that he always knew her address. She declares that the profession of iguorance of her where- abouts and failure to notify her of his death are parts of w scheme to defraud her of her dower Tight in an estate supposed to be worth over $1,000,000. She will take steps at once to have the case opened on the ground that her where- aboute was known. She has the right to open the case because she has only received notice of the divorce three years after notification in which to set aside the decree. The papers show that Edward Smith was a resident of Jezsey City for ten years, and ‘that his wife's maiden name was Charlotte Odlum, a resident of Dauphin county, Pa. She deserted her husband, the divorce papers allege, without any cause, and during the period that she lived with him she frequently assanited him. 8. W. Cassidy of Jersey City was the master who took the evidence and recommended the de- cree. Mra. Smith did not examine the papers, and is not aware of the charges of cruelty’ and drunkenness made against her. She declares that not even her husband’s intimate friends know of the divorce. A Venezuclan Award Cuse. This morning, in the Equity Court, Judge in the case of Woodruff et al. agt. Howland et al for an order to turn over to them two-thirds of the bonds deposited in the case in the registry of the court. This case grows out of the prose- cution of a claim under a Venezuelan award and is one of three cases entered. The first was that of How- land ct al. agt Mackin et al, in which was sought to havea trust on the fund declared in favor of the complainants. The second was that of Mackin et al. agt.

A BOARDING AND DAY SCHOOT, FOR YOUNG LADIES AND LITTLE GIRLS. Address the Pri ‘Mr. and Mrs. W_ this morning that the statement of Mr. E. F. Simpson in yesterday's Stax to the effect that no ladder was raised pn D street in the rear of the burning building was incorrect. A 35-foot ladder was raised there, but not until between one and two minutes’ time had been lost be- cause of the great number of wires hung on the south side of D street. The Iedder was run up simply for the convenience of the firemen, and not for the purpose of saving life, as Mr. and Mrs. Pullman and their daughter had already been rescued. Mr. Hiland stated, how- deg bee had the erection of the ladder been for the purpose of rescuing persons from the flames, the time necessarily lost because of the almost perfect network of wires on D street would have been most serious, and as every second counts on such occasions many lives might have been sacrificed. ‘The wires complained of are telegraph. elec- tric and telephone wires, and at the spot where the ladder was run up there are, all included, not less than betwecn thirty-five and forty of fel6-tr ton, A MODERN HIGH GRADE BOARDING AND DAY SCHOOL, MOUNT VERNON SEMINARY, 1200-1104 Mest. and 1224-1128 Lith. ‘Thoronchly equipped in all departments.
