~ MUSIC, LOVE. AND LAW. An Organist’s Double Marriage and a Woman’s Essay on Matrimony. pe Be A WIFE'S ANTE-NUPTIAL CAUTION Strange Mixture of Love, Marriage, Religion, j Furniture and Philosophy, pede Ger SE In the month of April, 1876, Louis Bergo was mar. Tied to Mury Frances Berge, in Jersoy City. They Wore at the time residents of this city, but bo was or- gaust of ove of the Jersey City churches, and both were professfonal teachers of music, In November of last year they separated, anda dis Pute arising between them as tothe ownership and possession of their household turniture they then ‘went into tho courts to settle it, About thesame time the wife commenced a Ault against her husband for a Umited divorce on the ground of crue) and inhuman treatment, The furniture litigation came before Judge Brady in the form of an application on the part of the wife for an injunction to restrain the husband from interfering with the furniture. JUDICIAL ADVICE, The Judge coupled his denial of that motion with ome paternal advice to the partics to resume their relations to each othor, reecstablish tho disrupted household and enjoy the {urniture together, This advice, it seems now, must have been misin- terpreted by the husband; for, although he followed 1t to the extent of re-establishing a home, he did so, it 48 allegod, with a former wife from whom he had been divorced, instead of with her in whose interest the Court had advised. This led to the commencement of @ vew divorce suit, in which the wifo asks for an ab- solute decree in her favor on the ground of the bus- band’s adultery with his former wife, the first suit brouglit on the ground of cruelty being in the mean- time permitted to sheep. THE ANSWER. In bis answer to the complaint in the present sult the defendant admits that what he terms ‘a so-called matriage ceremony” took place in Jersey City, but alleges that in February, 1876, a decree of divorce was granted to his former wife by the courts of this State, jn which decree he was prohibited. trom marrying again during the lifetime of the wife from whom he was divorced. With a knowledge of this condition of Mhings, he says, the plaintif! went with him to Jersoy City to be married in order to evade the laws of this State. He denies the charge of adultery made against him, and charges the plainuff with having committed adultery with two partics. The case came up in Su- Preme Court, Chambers, yesterday, on a motion on the part of the wile for an order granting her alimony and counse! fee, ‘Lis motion was based on affidavits read by Mr. Dudley Field, defendant’s counsel. THE WIFE'S VERSION, In ber own affidavit the wife goes on to tell quite an extended story as to the circumstances of hor mar- riage with the defendant, their subsequent difficulties od separation and his business and condition in hfe, Bhe admits that she knew of his divorce from his tor- iner wile, but says he gave her to understand that he was at liberty to marry again, Sbe denios that she accompanied him to Jersey to be married in order to evade tho laws of the Siate otf New York, and says she went thore solely at his request, ho expressing a wish to be married in the church of which be was or- ganist. On their way thither they crossed the Cort- landt street ferry, thelr carriage stopping at his request at several places. At one stopping place they took ina package, at another some flowers for her and at a third agontieman, They Gnuily stopped at Grace Qhurch and the defendant got out of the carriage, In a few minutes he returncd, saying the pastor, Mr, Rice, was lil and they bad better go to Mr. Hodgson, who was Conducting services at Trinity Chapel. ‘They soon ar- fived at their destination, and were speedily united in the bonds of matrimony by Kev. Telfwr Hodgson. Sbe since ascertained that Mr, Rice was pot ill at the time, but’bad been for several weeks absent in Europe, It is utterly false that ste ever committed tery with tho parties named in the defend- anv’s answer or with auy one, aud so she kiows bo one ever accused her of the Slightest improper uct until so accused im the answer. In November, 1876, she lived in a house on Fitty-second street, given her as an ante-nuptial gift by the delendant’s father, but which was covered with mortgages to more than its valuo and to satisty which it was subsequently sold. The furniture of the house Delonged to her and about $3,500 worth of shoes music contained in belonged to him. On the 26th of the same month she received from him a tele- graphic despatch to meet him at a lawyer's oflice down town. She went there and found tho office closed, and on ber return to her house spe found that her piano, Diankets, towels, household articles, lace tidies and other articles bad been removed by the defendal Carta were waiting at the door and the defendant had commenced to rip up carpets preparatory to removing them with the furintore, and she was obliged to call in ® policeman vo stop him, HEE MARRIAGE GIFTS GON®, Her silver ana kuives and forks, valued at $500, and got ut her first marriage, and about $40 worth of her sheet music, bad already disappeared. Their sep tion dates from that time, As Lo his pecuniary avility to respond to an order for the payment of alimony and counsel fee, sho seys thatat the time be aban. doned her ho received a salary of $1,100 a year ag or- ganist; ho rented out seven or eight pianos and or- gans, receiving therefrom about $600 a year. Ho taught music, irom which ho derived irom $500 to $1,000, received an income from tausical compositions and inventions, and 1s now, us sho believes, 10 circum- stances equally as good or better, He owns organs d pianos ot the value of $4,000, sheet music $3,5 besides a number o{ other musical instrumen value of which 18 uncertain, All that has be served to herself is furpiiure of the value of $500, which has been pledged iving, She ous two ‘children by her first husband, aged respectively seven and three years, for wom aud herself her only means of support is her efforts in giving lessons on the piano, and at this sbe has hitherto earned compar- atively nothin Accompanying oer alfidavit are two made by the gentlemen charged in the answer with maintaining improper relations with ber, aud in which each of them denies in most positive and emphatic terms that avy improper reiations at any time existed between them and the plainull, far as stony. Tn bis answering read by his counsel, M: John Schuchmann, the defendant reaffirms bis alleg tions of adultery agamst the plairulf, and that tl marriage in New Jersey wok place after deliberation und covsultation between them, and with the purpose of evading the effect of the decree of divorce granted tn this State, In confirmation of this latter assertion he gives extracts of a letter written to him bz plaiotift just preceding the marringe, This letter is somewhat out ol the ordinary line of gushing love effusions, and shows a disposition on the part of the fair writer to blend love, philosophy, religion and business all to- gether. 1n it sho 18 represented as expressing herself ag follows:— PHILOSOPHY AND LOVE.

An affidavit was also subinitted on beball of the de dant, made by bis divorced wife—the same with m be is charged in the complaint as having committed adul- tery—in which she denies that he committed adultery with ber, After com: by the respective counsel on the conflicting allegations of the alfdavits Judge Donohue took the papers, reserving his decision, THE MOVING SEASON, ANTICIPATING THE ¥iusT OF MAY—THE TEN- ANT'S MISERY TIME—A RUSH TO NEW JER- SEY—-CARTMEN AND EXTORTION. ‘The aunual moving season, so fraught with terrors to housekeepers and discomforts to the heads of fami- lies, has aiready begun a fow davain advance of the usual day, which bas been without apy well-known reason adopted for the hegira of tenants, Tho custom ot moving on May 1 has not been adopted in every Stato ot the Union. New Jersey, for lastanco, basher regular moving day on Aprill, This gives rise to numerous inconveniences, as leases being mado out with the dif ference of a mouth necessitates the loss of 4 month to those changing their residences from one State to the other, This custom of making out leases from anyone fixed dato to any other is purely arbitrary, and can, of course, be varied at will by tie mutual agreement of jJandlord and tenant. Nevertheless the lst of May has been looked upon so Jony in this State as moving day fhat tho custom has almost the semblance of a law. ‘The lines of new departure this ycar from the usual custom, apd the tendency to move cariier than the eacred day has created some remark. FROM MOUSE TO FLAT The hard times havole{t their mark upon the build- ing trade, as well as upon all others; and while fewer buildings have been erected a greater number of peo- ple are forced by pressure of circumstances to seck more modest homes, Thus there seems to be quite a good demand for houses of the more mode: kind, while many of the larger mansions are left gutenanted, with bills ‘upon the fropt windows, A great deal of trouble is obviated by those who move earlier than the great mass of tho people, In former years the custom was so strictly kept on May 1 that one family would often be bringing their household goods to their new quarters before the former inbatiiants bad carried. away all theirs; thas producing an inextricable con- fusion, and oftentimes giving riso to scenes which would require @ man of more humor than an undor- taker todescribe. There ts every likelihood that the moving this your will be more brisk than usual, but on account of this earlier beginning of the movement it will not be 80 voticeable, Many people are giving up their houses and moving into flats, These flats are be- Ing rapidly built ull over the city and are well patron- ized, Butthere are many other people who cannot muke up their minds to live in this manner, and ure being driven by the high prices of city rents to resi- dences in the suburbs, The tide of emigration 1s set- ting westward toward Now Jersey, Brooklyn is not much benelited by it, but the towns on the Morris and | Essex, New Jersey Central and Pennsylvania railroads bave been wondertutly increased by the exodus from New York. WHERE THEY ARE GOING, A number of sinall villagos have wit or three years, on the line of Newark branch hin the last two the Paterson and of the Erie Railroad, grown up which are almost entirely tilled’ with New York residents, Ample accommodation and low uc. commodation rates are rapidiy building up this part ot New Jersey, This transmigration of New Yorkers to the cheaper awellings in New Jersey hus been more than ever noticeable during the past week, when all tho ferries across the North River, from Liberty street to Twenty-third strect, have veen crowded with ex. press wagons and conveyances of all kinds tuking over articies Of housebold furniture. This emigra- tou, though never betore so extensive as this yea has been going on in a quiet way for several years back. Arlington, Centreville, Peru, Avondale and Highland, on the lino of the Midland Railroad, bave been buit up in this way. On the New Jersey Central a ona and Dunellen, while Linden, Metuchen ana Elizabeth, on the Penosyivania Railroad, are tilled with people whoso business is in New York. THE EXTORTIONATE CARTMEN. ‘The cartmen, who usually make May 1aday of ex- tortionate prices, will flnd themselves oheckmated this year. Thoy are weil prepared jor the work of removal, ut they will flud more competition this year than thoy expected. Those who are moving at present in this fine weather, escape ali the extraordinary exac- tions, however, They are not subjected to the discom- fort ol parieying in the rain with tue unwilling cartman a few moments betoro the hour fixed for the removal of thor goods. It is their arbitrary manuer of acting, feeling sure that they bave the poor tenant in their power, that makes the lst of May such a disagreeable day. Then the damage to furniture, caused by ite re- moval, is ofton very great. All theso circumstances, wore, no doubt, considered by the great American philosopher, Benjamin Franklit, when he wrote in bis “voor Richurd’s Alinanack” the profound remark that shee removes are as vad as a tire, All tenants should know that the rates of cartage have been fixed by law. In case of any attempted ex- tortion ou the part of the cartmen, no matter whether a bargain has been cntered into or not, the tenant can easily force the cartman to comply with the jaw. In case of refusal the ouinber of the cart or truck should be taken and a complaint made against the delinquent at the City Hall, BOARD OF UN DERWRITERS, The regular annual meeting of the National Board of Underwriters came to a closo yesterday afternoon, ‘The Board bad two sessions during the day, The first commenced at bal!-past eleven o’clock and ended at two P, M.; the second opened at turco ana the session terminated at hall-past four o’clock, Mr. Goorgo L. Chase, of Hartford, the president, was in tlle chair, About fifty members of tho Board took purt in tho discussions. The officers and members of the meeting refused to afford apy information to the press as to the pature of the business transacted, It is known, however, that a cortsin resolution was debated at length, and that the question was mooted as tothe advisability. of dissolving the Board. Some of tho members present deny this, Tho resolutions, whatever may have been their purport, were relerred back to the Executive Committee, with power, tor tinal action, The oflicers elected ior the ensuing year are:—L're: —Aifred G, Baker, Phila. delphia, Vice President—B.

The Taxpayers’ Association of the Twentieth and Twenty-second Wards sent in a petition yesterday to the Board of Aldermen calling the attention of tha; body to the “unlawiul dumping of garbage by the city authorities on open jots at the foot of West Thirty, sixth and Thirty-seventh stroets, now daily going on, | to the great detriment of that locality, und cudangor- ing the public health of the city, such fith’ being ac- cumulated there in buge masses, which will soon de- compose and spread disease far and wide.’ The peti- Hon also states “that the cleaning of strects in both of said wards west of Eighth avenue has bvoen neglscied and that the same are yet in 4 pitiable state and secm to I@e been overlooked all winter, and that the pave | ing of said streets isin a very dilapidated condition aud needs thorough repairing.” ‘Ths petition was reterred to the © itteo on Streets. Alderman Cole prevented a resolution requesting the Police Com mis#ioners Lo take into considerauion the feasibility of making a contract with Mr, Frank Swilt, o} Brooklyn, for removing all the garvage taken iro the streets, Itis understood chat Mr, Switt is willing to dispuse of Wuis garbago on Barren Isiand aod ober localities aba very smail expense to the city. The matter was referred to the Commitice on Police and | Heaito, et SAILMAKERS’ WAGES. Thirteon of the forty-two master sailmakors in Now York assembled at the lolts of Mr. T. K. Armitage, No. 62 South street, yesterday afternoon, to consider tho price to bo paid and the number of hours their jour- neymeu should work. Mr, Jonn Crystal was elected chairman and Mr. T. A. Gerry choson secretary, It soomed to be the sense of the meeting that New York cannot at the present wages paid the journey men sail- makers, wich is $3 per day of nino hours, compete with Eastern ports, ‘lo be pinced on au equal looting with tuem a change should be made, and this | could be attained by offering the men thirty | cents per hour, and giving them the privilege | of Working ten hours.

THE MATHEWS COLLECTION, In many respects the collection of paintings belong- ing to Mr, Nathan Mathews, now on exhibition at the Kurta Gallery, 19 one of tho most interesting which has been offered for sale this winter, It is not a large collection and the works are very uneven in quality, but the presence of some dozen great paintings lends it deep interest tor all who fove urt 1 t# refreshing to turn tram the braun of pice tures which make up collections to Daubigny’s great Jandscape, representing an evening sunset, It is called in the catalogue “Evening,’! and we accept with confidence the further information tendered—tbat it 18 a master piece. No one who sees it will douds Wns af- sertion for the moment, tor, aithough the uneducated eye may fail to detect the qualities of workmanship which make it great and wich are go subtle that only the practised eye can estimatothem at their true valuc, the tmprossive strength and delixhtiul sentiment of the work cannot fail to appeal to all who look upon this splendid canvas, The technical work is marvel- jJous and bears traces of scrupulous care. Every inch of the canvas bas been painted over and over again, and itis impossible to say how any effect hay been roduced, because the whole picture is made up of on infinite blending of minute details, In exaimining the piciure closely all the forms are found to be modelled with marvellous dotatl so that there 16 not anywhere on the canvas a plain suriace or patch of positive color, So charmed are some of the artists with this picture that n proposition has been made ta start a subscription for is purchase with the object of plucing it in one of our public art galleries, Tho idea is a good one and it is to be hoped that fs may bo put into execution, Anothor picture of great merit is Gerome’s Dante, which has become known through the medium of engravings and phoio- graphs. Lt represents the author of the “Interno’ in ‘one of his evening promenades the object of super- stitious wonder to the Italian peasants, [he chudrea taking refuge with their mothers as “the man who had been in bell’? passes by, give us 4 trutbial enough idea of the way in which the immortal poet was popu- larly regarded’ during his lifetime, lu composition ‘his work 18 striking and impressive and is tree trom many of the defects which inar some of the aptist’s luter pictares, 1t 1s painted with all the resources o! Gerome’s admirable fechnique, There 1s algo a tine ampie ot Tissot’s work, representing the period when he was ap enthusiastic weber of the pre-Kaphaciite school. It 18 called in the catalogue “The Evening Promenade,” but this is a lame and insuflicient tite, for tho picture is full of sadness. The’ idea sought ‘to be represented by tho artist hus the last promenade of a cavalier in the Mide dle Ages velore bis departure for the wars, aud the serious and even sad sentiment which pervades the Composition carries out tuily this idea, je color in this work is remarkabiy orilliant, as the picturesque Flemish costumes of the groups’ allow the artist Ini Opportunity to imtroduce with advantage bright color efiects, Charles Jacque, whose best works are seldom seen in tis country, is hero represented by a very fine pastoral subject represen ing a Brittany shepherdess, ana a group ot sheep which ure admirably realized. This picture is painted with great breugth and directness, and completely wipes out @ sheep picture by Verboeckoven, which hangs on the south wall, There is also a very tino Achenbuck, wholly distinct from tho canvases, which usually represent iu this country this clever painter, Corot, however, is not seen to advantage, as his name is attached to one ot those sketchy works which have rather injured that great urtist’s reputation at this side of the water. It ts certainiy very clever, buc tt hus none of the strength and grandeur of tho works which made Corot his great European reputation. There isa small but strong canvas by Pelouse, whoso we are seldom seca ip Amorica, which will give & fair idea of stylo of dealing with — landscape. ‘These, with some half dozen ot hers we have not space tw reier vo, make the glory of this collection, The re- maining Works were of tho usual kind—that 1s to say, neitber very xood bor very bad—but pleasant enougn to lovk upon and good enough for those whu have not the meuns to purchase really great pictures. ‘This col- lection W:t remain on iree exuibition during the week, and will be sold at auction on next Monday evening by Mr. Somerville, JOHN BEAUFAIN IRVING.
