MISS NEILSON ,A NATURALIZED CITIZEN. The Convincing Testimony of Three Friends and of a Woman. The communication of an Englishman in yest day’s HERALD called public attention to the loose man- ner in which our divorce Jaws are administered for the benefit of itinerant European spouses who, in travel- ling through New York, find it convenient to throw off their matrimonial yoke, The author gave a conspicu- ous instance of this legal malpractice by pointing to the Lucca case, Mme. Lucca’s divorce baving beon reopened since she has remarried, and bo also cited the more recent cave of Miss Adelaide Neilsor, ‘the actress, who was divorced a few daya ago from ber husband, Mr. Philip Lee, acitizen and resident of Kng- land, 1t now appears, upon a thorough investigation of all the facts in the case, that the two divorces are by no moans analogous, and that Migs Neilsou (Mra. Lee) and her counsel, Messrs. Beach and Brown, af- forded Mr. Lee ample opportunity to defend the suit, This would soem to dispose of the suggestion thrown out by thecorrespondent that Mr. Leo, like Baron Rhadep, would probably turn up in a few weeks, declare that he was never served with the papers and reopen the divorce, Tho other important point—namely, that bearing on the bona jide residence of the women who come here from Europe to procure a severance of their mat- rimonial ties—is also satisfactorily explained in the Neilson case, and the divorce therefore appears to be perfectly legul and proper in form. While watchiul of the proper administration of justice the Hrratp siates these fucts with pleasure, and 1s gratitied in being ablo to disabuse the public mind of any unfounded suspi- ciow of the legality of this proceeding, as evidenced by the communication of the correspondent and by the statements of prominent lawyers alluded to in tho Henatp of yesterday, miss xiLSON’s PMfboRRDING susTINIKD, Mr. Beach, Jr., who conducted the proceeding in behalf of Miss Neilson, stated in relation to the question of residence that it was an error, to ussumo that Miss Neilson, like Mme. Lucca, never declared her intentions to become acitizen of this country. On the contrary, said he, Miss Nellson renounced her allegiance to the British Crown iu 1873, and her naturalization papers were on tile in the office of the Court of Common Pleas, Reter- ring to the papers in the case, he said that her natu- Talization was one of the allogations of the complaint. “Miss Neilson,” said Mr, Beach, ‘18 uot only a citi- zen of this country but a resident of it, and intends to remain hero as far as the practice of her profession and her health will allow. Her profession, of course, pecossitates almost constant travelling, and ber deli- cate health has compelled ber to expend some time at watering places in Europe. That Miss Nelisun means to reside in New York is evidenced by the fuct that— very much to her misfortune—she owns quite an amount of property here, on which she has to pay taxeg Three years ago she bought this property, which ig situated at Kighty-secona street and tho Boulevard, tor $45,000, and I suppose, according to the present valuation, it 18 not worth over $22,000, So much tor her bona fide residence. Now us to the question whether Mr. "Lee was properly served with the papers. They were seutto oue of the most e:mi- neol law tirms in England, and a member of the firm peisonally served them upon Mr. Lee. The affidavit ol this gentleman, who proves tbat be knew Mr. Lee for years and personally served him, and a letter from Mr. Lee, in which he declares tbat he is unable to make a defence, are part 1 the record.”” Mr. Beach hero referred again to the papers and reud Mr. Lee’s letter, which ty in lour or five tines, und simply declares that in this action brought by his wife “he is unable to make a defence.” Mr. Beach de- sired also the fuct to be stated that Miss Neilson’s ap- plication for a divorce was not made to his firm in the lirst instance, but to a firm in London, and was trans- ferred to them, owing to her chunge of citizenship and her having renounced ber allegiance to the British Crown, He added that Miss Neilson certainly nad stil tho intention of making ber future home in New York ‘so fur as the exercise of prolession will aliow. MISTORY OF THR DIVORCE, Upon further inquiry it was found that this state- mont was correct in every particular, und that Mr. Lee substantially adimitued bis guilt, which, however, was so clearly proven by tue tustimony belore the reieree ag to Inake a delenze next to impussible, The hearing before the referee took place Jast month, and its secresy has been jealously guarded. ‘As the case, however, kas caused considerabie ta \d, a§ was seen from yesterday’s Hxra.p, an impression appears to have got ubroad tn some quar- ters that Miss Neilson was not entitled to the decree, a brief outine of the testimony may bere be given in justice to the Jady. Miss Netison herself was a wit- hess to prove her marriage to the defendant, Lee, in England, and also the tact that she hud not condoned his offence by resuming her marital relations with him iter she discovered it, The offence charged in her complaiut and tully proven by the testimony was adul- tery, committed 11 the year 1870, when Mr, and Mrs, Lee were stopping at the Fitth Avenue Hotel, in this city, The allegation of adultery covered a period of SIX montns of that year, beginning with March and ending with August. During this period it was proven thut Mr, Lee visited a certain house of evil repute in Twenty-titth street, where be maintained illicit rela- tions with one ——,un mmate of the house, a woman of notoriously uneli character. Threo gentlemen, weil known 10 y, swore that they went with Lee to the house; that he remained there over night, and this testimony was tiually supplo mented by the evidence of the woman, who admitted upon the stand the trath of the aliegations, This feature of the case was the most painiul one. The woman had tried Ler utmost to evade the process of tho Jaw, and bad taken retuge in other houses 1p this city with tbe nope of (hus eluding the search of the de- tectives. But her concealment was of no avail, and she Was found upd compeiied ty obey the process of the Court. ‘There were but four witnesses anogether, #0 that the hearing betore (he reierce only occupied a few days. Upon this sowing and the reading of Mr. Lee’s letter, 1n Which he declares that “he 18 unable to make a dete! ” tbe reieree reported in favor of an absolute divorce, Which Was granted to the lady, and, im the striking words of Mr, Beach, ber counsel, “stands bow as firm as a rock, and bothiog on carsh can move tt or set it aside.” LEGISLATIVE EXAMINATION STILL NECESSARY. Whiie this case certainly presents no ground tor su: picton aud is undoubtedly not one of « numerous class in which @ flagrant fraud upon the Court is practised, 1t may still be well for the Legislature to consider the sabject of our divorce laws in order to prevent such abuses as every und pow and thon occur. It seems to be the opinion of many lawyers with whom the writer has conversed tbat the statatury provision as to the residence of the party bringing the suit shvuid ve move rigorously defined, and at least one year’s bond Jide residence 1h this Stute be required, Tris provision ‘has now been introduced even tu the three States which bear a notoriously evil reputation for the luose- ness of their divorce laws—Connecticut, lndana and Hilimois—and it shoul be adopted by our Legislature. y murried women of otver countries apply for divorce they should be compelled to show that they have declared their intentions of becoming American citizons, and that they utd not merely come here to throw off a yoke solemnly jmposed upon them by a marriage coulract im avother country whose laws would probably not jusuiy such a procecaing. The whole matter is important enougn to be made the sub- ject of caretul examinavion ou the part of our Logisia- ture, BUSINESS OUBLES. Myron H.

SECRET COMBINATIONS OF WORKINGMEN TO MAKE WORK IN HARD TIMES—DABBLING IN POLITIC8—DR, -T¥NG’S BELIGIOUS BAIT—A WOMAN'S IMPOSTURE. For sote time past there has been a secret organiza- ton of workingmen forming in this city, branches of which aro also forming in all-the large cities through- out the country, In this city at the present time the number of members enrolled is said to be over 5,000, audas tho object uf the association becomes more widely known an imeronsing membership from week to week ts the result. This secret or- ganization grew ,out of, the terrible condition of the working classes in the earlier part of this season, and a cardinal poiut in its constitution is to prevent in the future such a state of destitution among mechanics as that in which they have found themselves this winter, It isunderstgog ¢hat the leaders of this combination have resolved to exclude from membership all who are notof thé first clas of mechanics, and who would not be Ikely to have power und ivfluence among their follow. cralismen, The movements of the organization arg to embrace ‘In their ‘scope me- chanicab labor tm all parts. of the country, and con- certed uction among the trades 18 e&pecially aimed at, In theearly part of the winter, and océusionaliy since then, eflorts were made by the trades jeaders to secure the opening of work 1 public improvements, but every attempt in this direction failed of meeting the degired result, Aboot a month since the Trades Assembly of the State of New. York was in session, and a commitiee was appointed to wait ou the legisia- tors trom New York city to urge upon them the claims of the workingmen tor consideration. In a conversation With the president of that body y day the Hxratp reporter niormed that the mittee met with a very poor reception, and that when the subject of maugurating puvlic improvements was broached the Jegisiaiors yuve them @ ‘cold shoul- der,” saying that economy was te feature of the prevent session of the Lewilature, and thut no recom. menuation looxing to an expenditure of the public junds iu the workimgmen’s vehull could be thought of, ‘The cominittes returned to the meetiag of the Tri Assembiy with very bitter deuvunciations of the rev tion they bad met with, apd a strong impetus wus given to the secret orgamzation which had just tuen begun to be formed. ‘The ‘trades leaders now assert that with the aid of this seeret associution they will be uble to send such men to the Legzslature in fuiure as will not leave the workingmen to the mercy of charitable societies tor subsistence, as they have been leit this winter, Vain hope! It is propased .o shun the politicans in this new moyement, and to compel the trades to rely upon themselves, and themselves alone, to force work. ‘The city is said to have been divided into districts tor the purpose of forming aud extending this secret or- ganization the more effectually, a commitiee of trusted inen being placed in charge of each district. It was further stated by the president of the Trades Assembly that the workingmen are looking forward hopetuliy to an abundance ol work this spring, now that the politi cal situation is more definitely determined, but espe- cially because the fail and winter bave been sv bad tor business, But, he said, it would take along time ut steady work for the greut majority of the incchanics to get to where they were betore the ‘hard times’? of the Jast ball year set im to aimost crash them, POOK WOMEN'S PRAYERS BEFORE SUPPER, At the Rev, Dr. Tyng, Jr.'s, church on Forty-second street every Tuesday evening a number of poor women assemble in the chapel and hold a prayer meeting, pre- paratory to enjoying un exccllent supper served in the busement of the church, Dr, Tyng bas bit upon un ex cellent. method of getting poor women to come to prayer meetings, and be has acted ou asimilar seusibie idea im regard to poor men, whom he feeds every Sun- day aftervoon with a substantial meal us an interlude between a temperance meeting and the listening to one ot his excellent Sunday evening discourses. Last Tues- duy evening about 100 women, old and young, some of whom had been at work daring the duy, partook of an excellent supper of oysters, bread aud butter, and tou and coffee, in the | basement of the church, Fora couple of hours betore the supper was served some of the ladies besonging to the Mary and Martha Society attached to the church were busy in cutting bread into slices and buttering them und making ready, in a general way, for tho meal, Tho prayer meetings and the supper have been a great suc- cess among the women, nearly all ot whom have be- come membors of the church, but among the men the supper seems to be the only atiraction, as they never put in.an appearance at church except when the meal 18 made to Serve aga temptation, But Dr. Tyng says that if only one man were brought in every Sunday evening out of the 6v0 ted {t would be worth the cost of the entire supper, and on that principle he continues this very acceptable charity in this season of destitution, A VERY LUDICROUS IMPOSTURE. Mr, John Bowne, Secretary to the Society for tho Amelioration of tho Condition of the Poor, siated yes terday to \be Hexap reporter, with whom he was conversing relative to the destitution in the city, that the gentlemen who so kindly act us visitors to the houses of the poor are not inirequeutly badly imposed pon by the applicants lor reliel, ‘The visitors of the above nated society are ospeciully liable to buve at- tempts made to deceive them, as the rule with this society 18 to supply funds to enc Of its visitors, leay- ing it to his discretion how much to give in each par- ticular case. By way of eX€mplification Mr, Bowne told the following story, voucuiny for its tru ‘A lew evenings since a brawny looking woman called at the residence of One of the socicty’@visitors in che Kloventh ward aud asked for immediate assist avce, The woman Was tn that apparent conditiwa of health which would at once arouse a kind-heurted gen- tleman’s sympathies, especially wheu the gentiéman himself was a tnarried mun and the father of a amily. Tue woman told ber story with becoming modesty and the gentloman immediately proflercd the necossary help, When the woman had just finished ber story the gentleman’s wile entered the room, and, at once realizing the tion, undertook very good na- turediy all th Mitantion required in the case, saying that under the circums ances she could attend to this charitable work with much better advantage to the ap- plicunt than could her husband. After a brief consul- tation between the gentleman and his wite it was de- termined to hire a room for the poor woman where she could give birth to her child, A warm meal was ai once suppited anu delicacies prepared tor the poor out- cast sufferer (thrown upon the streets in such A precarious condition. A good bed aud clean, comfortable bedding were turoished and ' all that =a woman could need in such circumstances was at her disposal. Arrange- ments were made by which a doctor wouid call ou ber ut a later hour and be 1n attendance i) bis protessioual capacity ut tbe proper time, The gentieman’s wife was sitting with ‘the apparently sick Woman in the newly lurnished partment, talking with Der in such friendly fasuion as seemed proper wader the cirewtn- stences. The lady rose to take hor departure for the night, and the woman also rose to give expression to ber thanks for the great Kinduess sue had received at such a trying period, when a rather startling disclosure took place uccidentally. Something suddenly fell ut the woman’s fect upon the floor, aud it proved tobe a neatly ticd-up bangle of rags, which had been wound around her body for the purpose of deception, The poor, sick woman got away &8 soon ag possible and Do effort has siace been made to discover tLe direction she took.

Mr. Von Sachs’ son, who took the vex back to Mr, Clayion’s: on the alternooa of Febraury 10 stated that ho gave it to One of the clerks, Who Was standing near the safe, presuming (hat it was all right.

Counsel for Cornelius:Hopes the Great Resid ary Legatee Will Be Generous, CHANCES OF A PROBATE FIGHT. The Discontented Heirs Won't if They Can, but Will if They Must ‘To find out, if possible, what plans, if any, have been” made to contest the will of the late Commodore V: derbilt, a HgRaLD reporter yosterday called at the oftice of Colonel Etpan Allen, the iawver whom Mr, Cor+ nelius Vanderbilt bas retained in case the latter shoald determine to contest the will in the Surrogate’s Court, At was ascertained that no positive steps for a contest have as yet been taken, and that Mr. Cornelius Vander. bilt still hopes fora settlement, notwithstanding his brother's assertion “that he will make no promises,” ‘Che reporter learned that the Commodore’s testament will be offered for probate next Tuesday morning, If Bo settlement of the affair nay been mado before that time it now is tolerably certam that Mr, Cornchus Vanderbilt intends to begin a contest, the end of which ‘will be impossible to foresee, If they can get av ami- cable settlement the intending contestants will not make any opposition to the probate: if they cannot they will make a fight at that time, If the will is ad- mitted to probate without objection it 18 likely that no opposition will be made afterward. When the Huxatp reporter entered Colonel Ethan Alicn’s office, at No, 102 Broadway, he found that gen- tleman busy at his desk. A copy of the Heratp was on the desk before him, but Mr. Alien had not yet tound time to read it, The reporter called his atten- tion to theariicle on the Vanderbilt will, and Mr. Allen read it aloud very carelully trom beginning to end. Then, courteously laying aside bis other busi, ness, he stated to the HERALD reporter that he would be happy to give him ‘any information he coulda on the subject. The tollowing conversation then ensued :— ReroxtER—You see from the article in the HzraLp that Mr. William H, Vanderbilt does not believe @ contest probable concerning the will of the late Commodore, I wish to learn what are the prospects ot coutesting It. Has Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt come to any determination yet? Mr. ALLEN—All I have to say in regard to that is that there is uothing misstated in the article in to-day’s Henan, so far us I know anything of the facts in re. gard to Mr, W. H. Vanderbilt, All that he bas sald may be correct, The prospects of contesting the will are exactly sush as given im the Heratp the other morning. Froin the first moment that 1 got into the cuse I said to Cornelius Vanderbilt to leave no stone unturned to settle this matier satisfactorily to all the members of the family outside of the court and to avoid a lawsuit If possible, RerorteR—Then you think there may be no contest? Mr, ALLEN—It is not yet certain bat that the desire to avoid a laweuit will be fully realized, If tho differ- ent members of the family, who ure now dissatisfied with the will, are satisfied in any way that their brother William may choose there will be no contest, Other- wiso I am of the opinion that there wil! be. Reporter—Should there be a contest how many of the heirs would be likely to:participate? Mr. AuLEN—I don’t know. How many sisters bas Mr. Vanderbilt? Ibeheve he hasseven. They may not contest, I can’t tell. 1 cun only speak trom rumor, butI understand that tome others besides Cornelius will enter an opposition to the will, but can’t aay how many; but I do say that I am of those who hope that no contest will take place, Rerortsr—What do Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt and the vthers intend to demand as a basis of settlement? Mr, ALLEN—They will make no demund atall. They think the provision of the will ts unjust that leaves the great bulk of such a vast fortune to oue ont of ten, und they teol that a larger portion of the fortune should be given to them—a settlement that would not only be reasonapl id equitable, but entirely just, Rerortxr—Have any papers ‘been prepared in ros gard to the case looking toward contesting the wil? Mr. ALLEN—No, | don’t think the proceedings have been gone rato to the extent of-preparing (or a contest, ‘The hope ts that it will be settied without that, RereortER— When is tho citation of the Scrrogate re- turnable? Mr. ALsex—Next Tuesday morning, at ten o'clock, in the Surrogate’s Court, Rerorren—What would be the usual proceedings in the case of such a coutestr Mr. ALLEN—No steps can be taken before next Tucs- day in the Surrogate’s Court. The usual method 18 to file objections, These objections must be led when the will 1s offered, If there is auy coniest it will most probably come up at this time, when the will 1s offered for probate,. 1t $8 true the contestants. wouid have a year to putin their clams atter that, but then they would have to set aside the probate, Thay can take & year after it is udmitted to probate, but then the pro- ceedings would be a different one. Rerorrek—On what terms are the diflerent members of Mr, Vanderbilt’s family in regard to cach other? Mr, Attxx—From what I have seen and heard I think that Mr. William H. Vanderbilt is entirely cor. rect 1p saying that every member of the tumily is on good terms with him. Kach one that I have seen at least. has for him only feelings of tho kindest nature, agi 1n some instances thix amounts to strong affection, His brothor Cornelius, 1 tee! confident, entertains tor him the warmest brotherly regard. He has never said anything to the contrary. RevontkR—Do you think, should Tuesday pass without any signs of a contest, that any will take place afterward? Mr. ALLEN—If there is any contest at all objections will be made at once, and the fight mudo on the pro- bate, but it 1s impossible to say to what extent the Oxht will be continued :f once commenced. Rerortkk—How could % be arranged between tho brothers? Mr. Autex—I don’t know. They might soe each ‘other and | Know nothing about it. 1 have desired them to arrange this as a family matter, without in- tervention of counsel or lawyers of auy kind, aud therefore if Cornelius should see bis brother IEmight not hear of it, I an, however, hopeiul that there will be no contest from the very expressions of kind- ness on the part of William H. Vanderbilt tnat | read in the HERALD, Kevortkk—How much do you suppose would sat- isfy the contestants, should they make opposition? Mr. ALLEN—lI don’t kuow what they will demand, I dou’t suppose they want William “H. Vanderbilt to hand over half his fortune and divide it up. 1 suppose they would be satixfed with any reasonable assur. ance. 1 think it very likely that such assurance may be xiven. Rerorter—What do you think Mr, William H, Vanderbilt meant when he sutd, ‘I shail have a right to do as | please with my own?” Mr, ALLEN—That seems to imply, in iny judgment, @ disposition «nd desire to treat lis brothers and sisters with brotherly kinduess. krom Mr, Alieu the reporter made his way across the strect to No. 4 Pine street, the office of Mr. Dudley Field, who, be had heard, was engaged as counsel tor Mrs. Allen, who had been spoken of a8 ove of the possible contesiunts, There the following brief inter- view took place:— Reporter—Mr. Field, 1 am a reporter for the HeRacp, and have come to ask you what information you can give tu regurd to the Vanderbilt will case, Mr. Fixup-—1 have none, [ don't know anything about it. Don’t ask me, ReportTRR—i thought you were engaged ag counsol by Mrs Allen, one of the contestants? Mr. Firip—I don’t kpow anything about it Tain’. any body’s counsel for anything.
