As there seems to be a general misunder-
standing about the difference between the
Union Pacifc'an Central Pacific Railroads,
a few words Of explanation may be adgisa-
bic. The quarrel last winter wasabout the
point of junction, the Union Pacific want
ing it at Promontory, and the Central Pa
ci6c at Ogden. An act Of Congress, passed
on the 10th of April, settled that by provid
ing that the junction should be at or near
Ogden, providing that the Union Pacific
should build line from Ogden to Promon-
tory, and that the Central Pacific should
then take it at cost The point of junction
will be few miles west Of Ogden, and the
present quarrel is as to which company shall
have the government bonds for the section
from this point to PromOntory, nearly fifty
miles The Union Pacific built the section,
and claim them On that account The Cen
trail Pacific takes it after it is built and also
claims them. Congress may have to settle
the difficulty.

A THEATRICAL BREACH or PROMISE CASE.
The Affections or an Actress TriHed With to
the Extent Of $4,000.
From the Detroit Post, April 49,

From the Detroit Post, April 1871
Some time since the item was floating around in
the papers that Ada L. Webb the popular and fasci-
mating actress and one OF the celebrated Webb SIS
tiers, was about to be married Later the paragraph
was current that she had married and retired from
the stage; and later still was paragraph deny
ing the last mentioned report. Amid al these these
likely that the fair Ada not entirely free from
matrimonial entanglements OF some sort. And such
seems have been the fact for we find on the rec
ords Of the Wayne Circuit Court that action was
commenced on the 26th ult. by Ada 7. Webb against
John Skae for breach OF promise OF marriage and
the damages are laid at $4,000.
Three counts are set up The The first is that IN the
wy S and o hae p1ea their Is
not exactly the phraseology Of the legal document,
but IL conveys to the popular mind Q better
would the verbose document OF half dozen pages OF
legal cap, with Its whereases and saids and afore
saids. In fact, they made verbal agreement to be
married to each other within year, or in January,
1859. The sisters were playing an engagement In
this city at the former date, and skae was most
assiduous In his attentions "a lover. The first
count further alleges that Ada made this promise Of
marriage in good faith, sincerely relying upon the
man; that she then expected to fuifl her pro.
mise, and was ready TO DO 30, and has been ready
ever since.
The second count charges the unfaithfulness OF
Skae, and sets forth that whereas the plantiT was
ready at the time agreed upon TO be married. and
has been ready ever since the defendant positively
and absolutely refused TO marry her. Sne alleges
that she repeatedly aud frequently urged upon him
to make good her hts promise OF marriage. but he
has ncf OH lrOui tiIic W tiuc uuu uOW utteiil
refuses to marry her, although she was ready and
willing during all this time.
The third and last count sets forth that upon her
engagement with Skae to be married In January,
1s6e 1t was understood that she was to retire from
the stage, which profession she had previously fol-
lowed as means Oh support TO herseii and her
mother: that she did so retire from the stage
on that account, and has since that time
been deprived Of that means OF support. For this
reason and Tor injuries to her feelings by reason OF
the failure OF the defendant to fulfil his promise she
claims damages to the amount OF S50,0oO. The at
torneys In the case Moore Grlfin Tor the plain

case s likely to he very closely contested one, but
