8 THE COURT Service of an Amended Complaint in the Walker Divorce Suit. Interesting Legal and Finaneial (Contest Between Husband and Wife. PECULIAR PROCEEDINGS. important Question as to the Recon- struction of a Lease. The Walker divorce suit promises to be an heirloom in the courts, In the suit brought by Mrs, Walker against Dr. Walktr for absolute divorce on the ground | of his alleged adultery the amended complaint has been served by Mr. Jobn B. Perry, counsel for sfrs, Walker, on Mr. G, W. McAdam, the opposing counsel. This complaint forth that the parties were married | in San Franeiso in August, 1867, ‘That on May 1, 1808, | Dr, Walker, by their joint exertions, having in the | meantime acquired certain rights and property, articles of agreement were signed between him, es principal, and certain other parties as agents, under which his | entire fortune, amounting to over $1,000,000, excluding about $250,000 since acquired by him in this State, has since been managed and is to be managed until May 1, 188% «That in. August, 1869, ber busband changed bis domicile from San Francisco to New Yo T the contentions which arose here subsequent to 1870 on account of his relations here by his two former wives, | alienated his affections from her with a view to obtain his favor or favorable provisions in his will to the in jury of her children. bat the reputation they sought to give her 1s not her true character, and that ber ex. pulsion from his house and his suit for divorce on the ground of her alleged adultery was insincere and without intent to prosecute it to final jadg- ment, but with intent only to bring her to | his | terms. The complaint further — sets | forth that the constitution of the State of California provides that ‘laws shall be passed more clearly de- lining the rights of the wife in relation as well to her Separute property as to that held in common with “her usband.”? Ihat the Legislature of California in pur suance thereof, aud belore the marriage between the plaintiff and defendant, abolished dower in the wife and curtesy in the husband, denied the husband or the wife the right to make a will without the consent in writing of the otver tu respect to common property, and fur- ther enacted that ‘ail property ired after the mar riage by either husband or wile, except such as may be acquired by gilt, bequest, devise or descent, shall be common property ;? that “the husband shall have the entire management and control of the common prop- erty, with the like absolute power of disposition as of his own separate estate,” which by judicial construc- tion is not the power of alienation with a view to defeat her rights; that ‘in case of the aissolution ot the mar- riage by decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, | the common property shall be equally divided between the parties, and the Court granting the decree shall make such order for the division of the common property or the sale aud equal distribution of the procecds thereof, as the nature of the case may require, provided that when such decree of divorce is rendered on the ground of adultery or extreme cruelty the party found guilty thereot shail only be entitled to such’ portion of the common property as the Court granting the decree may in tts discretion, from the facts of the case, deem just a iow, and such allowance shall be subject to revi- sion on appeal in all respects, including the exercise of discretion by the Court below ;” that the ultimate ob- ject of the whole of defendant's course of treatment of ‘and conduct toward the plaintit! was to obtain adivorce from her on the ground of her alieged adultery, in an action in which she should be the defendant, and thereby off the rights of the plaintif’and her twocnildren in bis property, but especially in said property which, under the laws of California, was common property, or Vhat he might force her to submission to his terms, thus obtain his freedom to give away during his Mime, and dispose by will av his death, of the whole of Jaid Once common property among his children and relations aforesaid by his two former wives as he saw , to the injury of this plaintiff and her said two chil. dren; that “he has been — well nas principal in suid business, aud had emblaz oned upon his checks, &c, the word proprietor, all which is by virtue of said contract executed by him upon each change of domicile, as the sole representa. live by statute of the common property of himsett and wife, which contract is perhaps governed by the law of the State in which it was made, and which common property, perhaps, without ‘the aid of a contract, might not even at common law in any State of the | United States where the common law upon the sub- | t prevails become the separate property of the hus- | nd by reason only of the fact that the husband | ebanged hisdomicile to any one of suclf Sta The | compiaint then goes on to say that Mrs W resources of ber own and is the defendant for support; to any intere Tight to retu: writing t the Tight to pr roperty relations | herself, at the time of thetr iar | time of the defendant's change of dv this jurisdiction aud thus to a nicile by entering certain or be informed | What modifications have been made in their respective Tights and powers by the circumstances which have transpired. One of the two children named js the child of Mra, Wal- rer by her first husbend, Mrs. Walker has also brought Buit in the Supreme Court for a hmited diverce on the ground of cruelty, in the event of Dr. Walker's ret ing or a miscarriage of the adultery suits, in which she claims the same rights and powers, and represents her two children and their rights. If her counsel is correct 4a his views, and he clarms to have authority at com- mon law to lake the course he ts pursuing, i addition to the contract and the California statutes, these suits involve no less a question than the descent, on Dr. Waiker’s death, of $300,000 to Mra, Walker's two ebildren, REFORMID A Atather interesting and curious litigation has arisen @ connection with the leasing of No, 285 Broadway The papers show that Messrs. John, Juhas and Philip Koch leased from Henry J. Whitehorne aud others the premises named for twenty-one years, from May 1, 1872, at an annual rent of $10,000, with @ covenant in the lease that $15,000 should bo expended by the lessees upon alterations of the building. ‘The lessees | expended, however, $25,000 in such alterations, having pot up a new iro front and substantiaily making an entire new building out of the old one, such alterations being made with the consent and approval of the les tors. It appears, however, that there was a clause in the lease compelling the lessees in case the bu should be destroyed by fire or otherwise durin holding of the lease to repince it by a new build There were also other elauses in the ie: tageous, as is claimed, to the lessees, the . signed the same, as they claim sufllorent kuowledge as to Its purport aad bing. Sinee May 1 of last year the lessors lave colle the whole of the building excepting the first basement, which, it ts claimed by the les» no right to do, at least without crediting t amount thus collected, which the less On this account the Messrs. Koch retu rent, and thereupon an action was brought to dispossess them before Justice Callahan, who ted an order of dispossession. mm an appheation by Mr. Alexander H. Reavey, counsel for the lessees, Judge Spier, of the Superior Court, granted an injunction restraining the dispossess procecdings. The tills now ask. in addition that the ed ; that the lessors be required to ac moneys recived from other tenants; tbat the those portions of the building occupied by et ants be fixed, and that the value of ihe improveme de definitely settled.

Cowen vs, McCann et al.—The defendants being sole executors and executrix the motion to advance cause must be granted, Ross vs, Senior.—The service by mail was irrogular, It was not a proceeding tn an action where the defend ant had appeared in person, and, consequently, section 410 of the Code 18 inapplicable, It was a direct pro- Jing against the judgment debtor, and should have been served personally quite as much as the original supplementary order, The motion to vacate must be granted, but without costs. Levi and another ys, Harding.—The preponderance of evidence is In favor of the representations having been made.

But the arrest must be held on the ground also of a fraudu- lent disposition of property.

Reckendorier vs. Faber--Appeal from the Ciroutt Court for the Southern District of New York.— This was a Dill filed by tho appellant to restrain an alleged infringement by Faber of certain letters patent for improvement in lead pencils, consisting of a pencil composed of a wooden sheath and lend core, having one end of the sheath enlarged and recessed to con- stitute a receptacle for an eraser. new articles of manulacture, not for the method or mode of constructing them ax’ distinct from the articles themselves, Lut for the instruments alter they made, The Court dismissed the bill, holding that the icle 1s not patentable, because it does not embody any new device or combination of devieos producing a new result, or an old result in a different imunner, It is here contended that the article is patentable under the statute allowing a patent to an inventor of “any new and useful art, machine, manufacture or composi- tion of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof.” This invention, known as the Lepmai vention, is claimed to be a manufacture under this law, and therefore patentable. ©.

N York Life Insurance vs. Hendren--Error to the Supreme Court of | Appeals of Virginia.—This was ap action on a policy of insurance on the life of t i hy ‘band of the defendant in error, of Norfolk, Va, in her favor. ‘The policy contained the tollowing | conditions:—‘'in case the premiums are not paid on oF | belore the seyeral days hereinbefore mentioned for the , payment thereof, then the company shall not be liable for the sum insured, and the policy shali coase and determine.” ‘All recerpts for premiums paid at agen- cies ure to be signed by the President or Actuary.” ‘This Jast condition was in the margin, The policy was taken out in 1856, and was continued until the com- mencement of the war, when, as the local agont testi- fied, the company stopped sending him renewal re- ceipts because of the war. Five quarterly premiums remained unpaid at the death of Hendren m 1862, and the question was, whether failure to pay the premiums was excused by the absence of the required receipts. The Court below ruled that it was, and the judgment was for the beneficiary. The theory of the Court was that the company was bound to keep the authorized agent continuously present to receive premiums and pay policies, It ishere arguod that the condition of war disbarred all relations and discharged all obliga- tions between the parties; that they became enemies, between whom there could be no business nor inter- course during the continuance of the war. It ig also said that the insurance made the insured a partner in the company, and tho war disbanded that relation. FE. 0.

Coroner Eickho? held tho inquest yesterday morning in the case of August Meltz, of No. 53 Orchard street, who died on the 15th inst. from the effects of wounds received during a quarrel with Max Rappeygott, at the house of the latter, No. 9% Henry street. Several witnesses were called, and testified to seeing, the fight between Meltz and Rappeygott, his wife and a man, pamed Hanygowski. The three inmates of Rapu U's house assaulted ateltz with sticks taken trom the bannisters, Dr. Marsh testitied that there wore extensive brutses on the upper portion of the Jett mde of the chess and also on the stump of the left arm. An exammation of the chest showed that the man bad died of pleuritis, the result of violence. The jury returned the verdict that death resulted from “injuries received from one or several persons in the house No. % Henry street, Sunday, April 9/1876; { and from the evidence taken we cannot determine who the persons were that caused the injuries to the de- ‘ceased,”* Coroner Eickhoff thereupon held the prisoner, Max Rappeygott, to bail in $500 to await the action of the Grand Jury, THE HAMMONDJERSEY MYSTERY, SOME POINTS WORTH TAKING INTO CONSIDERA- ‘TION. To tae Epiror or tne Heratp:— Will you permit one who, for your generous criti- cisms of her professional merits, is indebtea to you for many favors, space in your columns to say a word in justice to the memory of a departed friend? I quote from your editorial in the issue of the 18th, | following your statement that the Cuba arrived at Port Royal either the 5th or 6th of December, 1875, Mra, Jersey having died on board that ship on the 28th) and Dr. Hammond having returned to his home in Rock- land county December 10:— Starting from Port Royal on either the Sth or 6th, therefore, he (Dr. Hammond) had ample time to reach Rocklaud county by the 10th, Me gave out on his re- turn that he had been to Alabama, which ed sale enough in view of ois precautions, ana would agree happily if he hud been seen 6n a Southern train by any person that knew him"? 1 do not dispute the correctness of the dates given by you. On the contrary, they form tho basis of the remarks which I haye to offer tpon this sad and mys terious case. For more than a year previous to the period to which those dates ay the trip of Dr, Ham- mond to Alabama had been the frequent subject of con- versation and correspondence between us | own an estate of between 2,000 and 3,000 acres near Montgom- ery, Ala, the practical working of which I bad Jong since desired to have the advice of a re- liavle «and = experienced ~— party upon. Dr. Hammond, who, with bigh professional stand: ing, combined a sound, practical judgment upon all matters appertaining to agricultural pursuits, at inst consented to go, and started trom his home, as 1am intormed, on the morning of the 29th of Novem. Thave the most positive and absolute proof that he spent between two and three days on my estate. He conterred with my manager, slept in the house on the plantation, took an exbatistive survey of the entire pince and subsequently advised me with regard to itt cultivation, firne me the nost minute direcvons as to the use to which certain parts of the land, described by him and well Known tome, could be put.

PAYMENTS AT THE SUB-TBKASURY—TEN THOU- BAND DOLLARS DISBURSED, Iu pursuance of the notice previously given 8 crowd of enterprising citizens assembled in the vicinity of the Sub-Treasury yesterday for the purpose of obtaining for fractional ourrency ite equivalent in silver colb. The prospect of the experiment of thus facilitating tho resumption of specie payments bas already been fully discussed, As might have been expected, the work of paying out in small amounts was necessarily slow, and consequently even at an early hour the oper- ation was robbed of all excitement, In the first place it was determined to redeem no sum exceeding $100 at | cach presentation, and one of the conditions was that the currency should be sorted by denominations and be offered in amounts not less than $5, or in’multiples thercof. Mr, White, tho cashier, anticipating arush, detailed additional clerks to meet the emergency, The utmost rogufarity and decorum marked the proceea- ings from the beginning. ‘The first ment was mude to the me r of the Chamber of Sommerer, and its amount was $100. Very few incidents ‘4 of note occurred durti the day. The appli- cants, freighted with ir currency, formed in hne and patiently awaited their turn to ph by the bright and tone-producin; substitute, The arrangements were, admirable, contusion there was none. The quart old lady, with her reticale, and the lager beer man, with’ bis fat hand in his trousers. pocket, were treated with equal courtesy and consideration. Indeed, there would have been much more cagerness displayed by the first night visitors to anew play. In some instances the regula- tions were not complied with, and, after going through tho process which would entitle a qualified applicant to a bundful of jingling coin that now and then reflected the smiles of the delighted recipient, it was ascertatped that the amount was short or that a sly counterieit had inveigied itself into a bundle of honest currency. This, of course, occasioned delay, and many, after pomerras @ great deal of time tn front of the payer’s desk, st! cei stole away, the prospective millionnaires waiting wit Jopging aspirations, Througnout the day, from ten o'clock until three, there were probably threo hundred persons in line; but, owing to the surroundings progress was not as rapid as might generally be imagined. The clerks assigned to mA lett nothing undone their — part, facilitating to tho beat of their ability the resumption of specie payments. Cortain rules, however, had to be com- plied with, and future disbursments will, doubtless be more rapidly made, At noon about $5,000 ir silver had been paid out. Most of the npplicants who pro- sented themactves at anearly) stuge asked for the re- demption of the full amount allowed—namely, $100, and consequently the precious metal was 4 0 more y than in the alternoon, when numerous cusiosity. seekers asserted their cla! Altogether the distribution of silver coin in return for its equiv- alent in currency was not marked by any special features of excitement more than that some of tho applicants expected to take timo by the forelock, while others anticipated pleasure from the delight- ful vision which to some the music-giving coin pre sents Payments ceased at three o’elock, and at that hour $10,000 had been paid out to 150 applicants. To- day the clerks will again resume their lavors and busi- ess will be much facilitated it applicants comply with the neceasary regulations. SILVER JIM FAIR. WHAT THE PRACTICAL MINER THINKS OF THE COMING CURRENCY. [From the Burlington (lowa) Hawk-Eye.) Among a host of other distinguished gentlemen who availed themselves of the superior hotel accommoda- tions here to spend the Sabbath in the metropolis was James G. Fair, one of the owners of the Consolidated Virginia silver mine at Virginia City, Nevada. An ambassador of the Hawk-Eye sought and found him comfortably quartered and partaking of the good things at the Gorham House. The: caller was at once invited to be scated, and made known his business, when; in substance, the following little talk took place :— Rerorter—Mr. Fair, as you are doubtless awaro that the enormous production vf your mines of gold and silver are attracting the attention not only of this country but the whole world, 1 have called asa secker of information with reference to them. Mr. Farr—I certainly havo no objections to telling what ts being done. A residence of twenty-seven years on the Pacific slope has given me an opportunity of watching developments in that quarter. The ‘‘Com- stock Lode,” which underlies Virginia City, ts about four miles long and from 400 to.800 lect wide. We have been raising about 800 tons of ore daily, valued at trom $50,000 to $100,000. We did rather better in March, the vatue reaching $3,600,000, and expect to increase tt aminer Lo $5,000,000 per month. —How is general business. in Nevada, and 4s there much demand for labor? ‘Mr. Fain—Virginia Otty contains a population of from 20,000 to, 25,000, and, like many other places, there are a great many idle people, but, on the whale, they are reasonably well employed wages, Our own payroll numbers nearly 6,000 in various localities, Some do well, but many are disappointed, expecting to t rich suddenly, The great fire was a considerable Teawback, but the damage done {s being repaired rap- idly, and there will soon be bat few traces of it left, Revorter—aAs you have doubtless given the matter much thought, what are your views as to the luture value of silver as it relates to gold? Mr. Fain—Silver has declined very considerably, in | fact for a time was undaly depressci, touching as low as fifty-two pence in London, but nas quite recently ad- vanced to fifty-tour, 1 think that there need be no se- rious apprehension of further depreciation, and the dif. ference will doubtless coutinue about as at present, say sixteen to one, While she productign is rapidly increaa- ing in this country that in the rest of the world is fali- ing off. The statistics for 1 show a decrease in the entire production of over $11,000,000 as compared with 1874. Silver is a good article to buy om speculstion when as low as fifty-three, Reronter—From what mand sufficient to absorb ones. do you expect a de- his imménse production of t Mr. Fam—A somewbat erroneous impression gets abroad about our mines being all silver. It is true they are called ‘silver mines,” while im fact the product contains in valuo from forty-six to fifty per ceat of gold, In making our exchanges we got the valae of the gold in gold coin, and. for the silver wo re Nd also; if the market for silver ts 53: t $1 183¢ gold, Our daily transactio: the coast aro almost all in silver, and yours soon will be; it will re- quire $50,000,000 to redeem these little rags (holding up a ten cent shi ter), which you people call money.

RENO IN WALL STREET. Yesterday afternoon there was an’ unusual excite. ment on the floor of the Stock Exchange; the brokers were hustling around Mr Moses A. Wheelock, Vice President, and talking in the most excited manner, Mr. J. S. Stanton, it appeared, had bought of Messrs. Wellington Clapp & Co, 100 shares of what is Known as “Reno seconds, preferred.” This, i seems, is a land and petroleum stock, which waa floated some enrs since by Messrs. Culver, Ponn & Oo., bankers of Pa, who fatled through oil and building specula- and largely componaded with their creditors, paying in Reno stock, which yesterday was the sabject ofdispute, According to general rumor Mr, Stanton either fatied to make bis purchase good or refused, through some dispate, to pay Messrs.

At two o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Washing- ton Place Police Court, Judgo Kilbreth commenced an examination in the case of William M. Banks, receiver of the Security Savings Bank, against Jchn H. Sell, formerly cashier and clerk in the bank. The Jate presi- dent of the institution, Excise Commissioner Marshall, and several others connected with the bank were Present. The first witness examined was William M. Banks, the complarnant, Mr. Banks swore that he was receiver of the Security Savings Bank; om the 3d of April he saw Sell, the prisoner, make up the cash; the total amount of money was made up in a bundle and deposited in the safe; Mr. Banks then left the bank, leaving Setl, with a clerk named Mills, in charge; later in the afternoon ho returned and found the janitor sweeping the room; he noticed that the safe was all right and then left for bis home; no one knew the combination of the sate but himsoif ‘and Seil; when he entered the bank the next morning be found a note on his desk from seil, stating tha in bed and | | it the writer would not bo ir, Banks then opened the safe, found it $500 short; he then in Brooklyn, where he did not sco Seil, but saw his wife; all the furniture in the house ‘wan packed up ready for removal.
