Georgianna Alden brought suit in Connecticut against her husband, Stephen H. Alden. for a divorce on various grounds. In that-suit she demanded alimony, and, as a basis, estimated his property as worth ut least four hundred thousand dollars, Subsequently she, finding that he was in this city, and, as she heard, about to go away, began a similar suit here, and procured a writ of ne exeat— My other words, an order of arrest against him, le avoided the arrest by depositing $50,000 of the bonds of the Toledo, abash and West- ern Ratiroad, sabject to the joint order of the counsel, of himself and his wife. There- upon th few York suit was discontinued, Mrs. Alden returned to Connecticut and prose- cuted the Connecticut suit to judgment, that Court pxmg her alimony in gross at $50,000. Mr. Alden a8 NOW brought suit against his former wife and the Mercantile Loan and Warehouse Company, with ‘whom the bonds are deposited, to restrain one from pesky with and the other from obtaining possession of the bonds. He charges that he was errested while lying sick in nis hotel on the 22d of March, and was kept in custouy unt! the 24th, eing 80 sick that the Sheriff's oiticer did not take him to jail, but stayed with him at the hotel, and that while under arrest and incapacitated by his sickness he was taken to the office o! plaintiffs counsel, where he was forced to give the bonds and $12,500 in money.

The Effects of Fourth Ward Benzine. On Tuesday evening Denis Sullivan and Patrick McCarty, both living at 20 Cherry street, met in a liquor store in the neighborhood, and had several rounds of drinks together, Finally they became drunk and noisy, aud were ejected from the store by the proprietor. They then went to another bucket shop and hoisted in two or three more basins, after which they started for home. When they arrived at the house a discussion arose as to their relative pugilistic merits, each maintain- ing his own physical superiority. The wordy dis- cussion finally culminated ina rough and tumble Astic encounter, in which Sullivan was coming out Recond best. Seeing that he could not whip McCarty, Sullivan ran into the house and got an axe with which he came out again and struck re three violent blows on the head, cutting jim severely, but not inflicting necessarily danger- ous wounds. McCarty cried out “Murder!” and Dronght to his assistance Officer McDonald, of the Oak street police, who arrested Sullivan. He was brought before Justice Hogan yesterday morning and committed in detault of $1,000 bail. JEFFERSON MARKET POLICE COUAT. The Jurisdiction of Police Justices.

Stiner, at once applied for @ writ Of habeas corpus from Judge Pratt of the jupreme Court, who, upon tie examination on nesday, decided that the Justice had jurisdietion tocommit the prisoner only for sixty days, and that the commitment being therefore illegal, she must be discharged.

The inadequate facilities for transporting freights ‘to the West and the discriminations made by rail- ‘way managersin favor of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston in their freight tariffs, have created a deep feeling among down town merchants, whose ‘business is constantly being embarrassed by these causes. It has been proposed to get an expres- gion of opinion on this subject irom the whole ercantile community whose interests are affected ‘Dy the 1ack o! transportation accommodation, and ‘to that end a committee has been appointed, com- rising Messrs. B, B. Sherman (chairman), John F. enry, H. B. Clafin, F. B. Thurber, Cc. F. Wyman, nklin Edson, E. F. Browning, W. 8. Fairfield, “William Duryea, B. P. Baker and James Pyle. All merchants approving of this movement are {invited to join the organization and to subscribe 5 each towards deiraying its expenses. The embers of the committee are autuorized to gweceive subscriptions. A mecting to report prog- aress will be held in a few days, and arrangements are making fora public meeting at Cooper Inati- ‘tute at an early date. Among the measures of relief likely to be urged in view of the annual freight blockade is the en- Jargement of the Erte and Champlain Canals so as ,to allow lake propellers to come through to the ‘Hudson. The Chamber of Commerce sent a memo- Tial to the Legisiature last Spring asking for the needed improvement in the Erie Canal, and the ,bill to authorize the Champlain Canal enlargement ed both houses at Albany, but failed to obtain ‘the Governor’s approval, it is stated, threugh some technical objection. Congress will probably be asked to look into the alleged extortions of the Tailway (reight monopelists, ‘PENALTY FOR MAKING “WASH SALES” AT THE COTTON EXCHANGE. Yesterday another meeting was held at the Cot- ton Exchange—Vice President Henry Hentz pre siding—to determine what penalty should be in- flicted upon members who might be discovered in making “wash sales” and reporting them as bona transactions, Nov that any such bogus sales have been made to any great extent, if at all, for the Cotton Exchange as a body 1s possessed of the highest business honor. Inusinuations, however, have been thrown out from time to time that, in order to — influence sthe market, ‘wash sales’ have been made and reported. It was proposed at the meet- ing yesterday to offer such inducements for the detection of false transactions that thetr extermi- dation would be as good as guarantecd, The method Suggested for accomplishing tuis, however, was by ‘@ majority ot the members present regarded as not becoming the dignity of the body, and the old law, Which simply provides for the expulsion of any Member convicted of making false sales and re- Ports, remains in force and will be vigorously ap- bly in any detected case of such alsobedience to he laws of the Exchange and of common business Antvegrity. A OOBNER IN COAL Bale of 75,000 Tons of Scranton Coal—A Marked Increase in Prices. Yesterday morning 75,000 tons of Scranton coal were sold by auction by John H. Draper & C t the salesroom ef the Delaware, Lackawanna and ‘Western Railroad Company, at 26 Exchange place, -at prices considerably higher than were paid at the June sale held in the same place. The attendance (was large, and, previous to the commencement of ithe sale, a good deal of conversation toek place re- epecting the coal combinatiens recently formed, pired that the prevailing idea was to When the bidding opened it was it Was of a spirited charaeter, and ion befere alluded to existed in /reality as well as thought. The 75,000 tons were dis- of with great rapidity, the buyers all taking £ e quantities. Rumors existed that large for- eign orders had been received in this city. No Jump coal was offered for sale. The following is the average advance in the different classes of coal :—Steamboat, 21}sc. ; grate, 22\¢c. ; fy TBMC. 5 stove, 74C.; it, 13%C., per ton, The prices obtained this month compare as follows with those ‘of the last sale :— John J.

THE FORKIGN MARKET. Advices by cable from London to-day indicate an unusual and remarkable condition of case in that market. It is doubtless due to the temporary presence ofa large amount of gold accumulated on account of Germany and made available for the moment in tne loan market. ‘The rate of discount on three months’ bills in open market is reported to be 7% per cent below the bank rate, The follow- ing were the quotations at the close of business :— Consols for money, 9234 a 925, ; Consols for account, 9234 a 9245; five-twenty bonds of 1865 (old), 9455 a 9414; five-tweaty bonds of 1857, 94; ten-forty bonds, 914; new fives, 9034 a 9014; Erie Railway shares, 4614 a 4634; Illinois Central Railway shares, 84 a 86; new French loan, 6% a 6% per cent pre- mium. The advance in consols and American securities was undoubtedly caused by the easy money and the report that the Bank of England rate of discount will be reduced to-morrew. The bul- lion which went into the Bank of England on bal- ance to-day was £9,000, The Paris rentes were buoyant at 56f. 40c. In Amsteraam American secu- rities were quiet and firm, with prices unchanged. THE MONEY MARKET exhibited no material change. Loans on call were effected at 3and 4per cent, the bulk of business being done at the lower figure. Lake Shore and New York Central were renewed at 3 per cent, and non-dividend paying stock called for 4 per cent. Moderate dealings marked the discount market, the rates being 53g @634 percent for 30 days’ ac- ceptances, those of longer date ranging irom 6%, to 7k. Foreign exchange remained dull and nom- imal at 108% a 109for prime sixty days’ sterling and 109%, a 10934 for short sight. GOLD FIRM—115% A 115%. The gold market offered no new features except inthe loan department, where 1-64 0f 1 per cent was charged for the use of gold until to-morrow. The types yesterday were made to say that the fluctuation in prices was ‘unnatural.’ They should have said that the fluctuation was imma- terial—a remark that will apply equally well to the transactions of to-day, the range being from 115% to 115%. The following table will show the condi- tion of the market at the respective periods named 10 A. M. 145 P. M 11:40 A. M. 115% 2334 P.M 12:07 P.M......... 116% 3P.M..

The Assistant Treasurer to-day paid out $80,000 on account of interest and $10,000 in redemption Of five-twenty bonds. The receipts from customs at this port to-day were $435,000. The receipts irom in- ternal revenue amounted to $265,146, RAILROAD BONDS contimme to manifest much strength, nearly all of the sales at the Board to-day being indicative of firm and advancing prices.

This class of securities continues to maintain the strength by which they have been characterized for several days.

The cause of the advance may now prudently be given. The President and other representatives ot the line are said to have contemplated, ever since the accession of the former to the management, an early lease of Lake Shore to the New York Central, with an attendant guarantee of 8 per cent for the stock, and interest on the bonds. Various arrange- ments have been quietly made and others are still in progress which look to an early consummation The result will doubtless be known of the plan. within thirty days. for vailing pri ces, Meanwhile large orders have been received from Saratoga and elsewhere the purchase of the stock at the pre- and both Lake Shore and Central are advancing as @ natural sequence of the demana. The former rose from 94% to 95, receding 4% per cent at the close. Central was firm and steady at 1053, a 105%, largely increased activity ‘eing shown in both stocks, Western Union, on the contrary, showed symptoms of decline, opening at 933; a 9344, selling as low as 92 and closing at 92%. This result was doubtless partially due to the large saies made to realize and a desire to re- invest profits in the more active and positive spec- ulation springing up in the stocks above men- tioned. Harlem failed tg sustain itself at the prom- ising figures marked against it yesterday, declin- ing from 134 to 1824, recovering temporarily, bat at the last calling for only 122%. Wabash” was next on the attractive list, and was strong at 723¢ & 72% a 73, weakening named figures last at 4s per cent from the the close. It may be added, however, that nearly the entire market was easier at this time, as compared with earlier prices. quently went off to 59%;, Erie advanced from 5934 to 603,, but subse- Northwestern steadily holds tts own for the present around 694 a 605 a 69%. ‘Those who seem to know state that a lively movement in this stock will probably occur early in the future, without, however, going beyond the pale of speculative propriety.

There was ratber more stir in dry goods, hardware, &c., while on ’Change there was no decided change. Plour was dull and in buyers’ favor. Wheat was dull an¢ lower, with tree sellers at the decline. Corn was fairly active and firmer, There was some speculative feeling, which led to sales to some ex- tent for forward delivery. Oats were also firmer, though not especially active. Whiskey was in de- mand and firmer. Pork was steady, while lard was dull and heavy, closing lower, Groceries were quict and steady. Cotton quiet and unchanged for spot, but easier for futures. Petroleum was duil and caster. Spirits turpentine was dull and weak, while rosin was in good demand at full prices, Cortox.—The market for spo’ cotton was mo lerately active, and, although the annexcd quotations show no decline, there were some sales made that would not bear a higher quotation than 19%c. for low mid lling, or on that basis for the other grajles.

The investigation of cases of excessive and un- equal assessment of real estate in the Nineteenth ward was resumed yesterday morning by the special committee of the Board of Supervisors, Messrs, Koch, McCafferty and Cooper. The de- velopments yesterday were by no means either more startling or interesting than those of preced- ing sessions of the cammittee, but any and all of them go far to show that the whole system, rather lack of system, upon whicn these asseai> ments are made, is 8 humbug and an injustice. ‘The investigation of the Nineteenth ward books was closed yesterday and the committee will to- day commence the reception of complaints of as_ sessments in the Twelfth ward. The committee, however, will hear any further complaints from Nineteenth ward property owners, should they be presented, ALLEGED EXTORTIONATE ASSESSMRNTS. Mr. John M. Bixby, whose complaint of the ase sessment on his house, No, 461 Fifth avenue, waa published yesterday, appeared and presented the toHowing statements and examples of unequal as- sessment to support his own case and complaint as Med on Taesday :— The house of John D, Wendell, on the northwess corner of Filth avenue and Thirty-ninth street, ts assessed at $80,000, ‘The house is 40 by 80, and the los 40 by 110 feet. This property ts worth double the property on the northeast corner of Fortiot street and Filth avenue, which is assessed af $75,000, David Banks’ house is on Fifth avenue; it t# ubout 35 feet wide and 80 feet deep. A stable is beside it. The house and stable cover lota on Fifth avenue, 56 leet wide and 100 feet deep. This prop. erty is on the east side of Fifth avenue, betweem ‘Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets, It is assessed at $77,000, but itis worth three times as much aa the house on the northeast corner of Fifth avenue and Fortieth street, which is assessed at $75,000. Mr. F, W. Lasak, who resides at Dobb’s Ferry, owns lots Nos, 1, 2 and 3 Rast Nineticth street, Last year the assessment on them was $30,000, and this year $55,000, They have not been improved, Lots Nos. 4,5 and6 of the same strect were last year valued at $15,000, and this year at $23,000. He protested against the increase and asked for a re- duction, R. BE. Mack, of No, 365 Fifth avenue, complained that lots owned by him have been raised this year from $10,500 to $16,500, This he considers largely excessive, and applied for a reduction, Louis Broza, of No. 53 123d street, complained that lots owned by him in that neighborhood have been increased from $18,000 to $22,000, and another These lots are unimproved and have increased nothing tm value. Charles Rielly, of No. 131 East Fifty-seventh street, protested against an increase irom $9,008 to $11,000 assessment on his house. Henry Grosmeyer, of No. 51 East Sixtieth street, stated that the assessment on « lot of his in Sixty- second street, between Lexington and third ave- nues, has been increased from $500 to $1,000, Other property belonging to bim has been increased ex- cessively. Louis J. Phillips complained that the valuation on his house, No. 16 West Filty-second street, haa been increased from $23,000 to $28,000, A house im the same locality, ior which he states his willing- ness to pay $20,000 more than for his own, is as- sessed at only $26,000, Property he owned in Fifty- sixtn street, near Madison avenue, has this year been increased trom $22,000 to $30,000, These wer@ lots which would not sell for as much this as last year. He said no system had been observed in ausessing property, and the inequality all over um most glariag. Mr. Phillips is one of the largest real estate speculators in the city, Abraham Wakeinan, of Eighty-sixth street and Fourth avenue, complained Of an increase in the assessment on his house of $2,000, On two other houses owned by him the assessment _has been in- creased m $22,000 to $35,000. He protested against this increase and demanded a reduction, John J, Nelson complained that his Landed 4 in Figuty-thira street, between Fourth and ith avenues, 13 assessed this year ut $24,000, while last year it was unly $10,000, ‘The property has to- creased nothing in real value, and no improve- ments have been made. N. K. Burke complained that a number of lots in Seventy-fourti street, between ‘Third and Fourth avenues, owned by hin, have this year been in- creased in assessed valuation from 40 to 108 per cent on last year’s assessments. Hyman Sarner stated that a house of his on Lex- ington avenue, between Filty-eighth and Filty- ninth streets, 18 valued at $13,000 this year, an in- crease @f $3,000 on last year’s assessment. The house has not any year brought in as much as the taxes he bas to pay on tt. Alderman Lysugnt dropped in incidentally to see the committee at work. aud while present Jamea Gallagaer made a complaint of the assessment of his property, a single lot on avenue A, betweem Seventy-secoad and Seventy-third streets. His lot is assessed at $1,500 and his assessment dues amounted this he to $428, notwithstanding the Jact that the whole neighborhood is COMPARATIVELY UNIMPROVED, There is neither paving, grading nor curbing is the street; nothing bas been done for the money but the laying of a brick sewer. ‘The lot has a front- of twenty-five lect, and if the lot on the (red Site side of the street 1s assessed similarly, ti twenty-tive fect of brick sewer will coat the two lot owners over § . Mr. Gallagher thinks that if the city had taken the uotion to grade and pave the street, in addition to putting in the sewer, he would have had to make the city a present of the Jot to pay lus share of the cost of the improvement. Alderman Lysaght then related a story to the effect that he owns a doubie lot, of fitty-one feet Jront, almost directly opposite Mr. Galiagner’s lot. He bought them some tive or six years and has been paying taxes on them ever since. This year the tax amounted to over eight nundred and flity doliars—about the same rate as Gallagher has paid. The Alderman has never seen the lota but twice—4. ¢., when he bought them and once about three years afterward, which would be, of course, about tiree years ago. On that occasion he went up to have “a look” at them and to1in- spect some adjoimimg property. To ms great sure prise he found tat AN EXTRAORDINARY CHANGE had come over his real estate. It was no longer vacant, but there was quite # respectable shanty, with ® henhouse and pigpen flourishing on it—e young farm on his “city” lots. Whie pe | over the grass he drew near to the domicile, seeing a good, healthy-looking woman in the door- way, ventured to ask— “My good woman, I'd like to know who you got leave irom to build on this property.” “None of yer business, sur,’ replied the woman, in a fush of indignation, “But I'd like to know, thongh; I've no objection oe so longjas the ground is not occupied, only la like to— Just at this juncture he was interrupted by @ terrific roar ol, deflance from one of two large Mmastiils that were leashed beside the house. After # munute of furious growling and frantic wrig- gling at the end of his chain the ad was free. A friend who had accompan the Alderman had already “beat a retreat,” and the Aldermen took up the same line of mareh, going backward, however, and bombarding the mast with loose rocks until he had got CLEAR OF THR SQUATTER’S DOMAIN, He hasn't been up there since. He pays the taxes like &@ man. Meeting Gallagher yesterday, he in- quired about his own lots—were they still there? Gallagher said they were. “Are the shanty, the henpen, the pigpen and the dogs still there ?”” “They are all there and doing well,” replied Gal- Tr. good. I'm glad to hear they’re doing replied the alderman. : r ne “Ver finely, id \T THOMPSON'S COLLEGE, 2 voURTH AVENUE, opposite Couper Institute.—Bookkeeping, Writ Aritnmetic and ipa Day andevening.
