Mr.. Stewards only formidable rival in
the wholesale line is Mr.. Clatiin. Claim
sells more at wholesale than Stewart, but
Stewards retail business puts him far
ahead. The rivalry between the two
houses is very great, and one is all the
time trying to undersell the other.
Stewards great retail store will be again
enlarged next summer. He has at last
secured the two large buildings at the
corner of Ninth street and Broadway,
aud will have them taken down in May.
One of these buildings has been occupied
for several years by Goupil, the well
known picture dealer. Goupil is moving
up to Fifth avenue, and Stewart will then
have the whole block to himself. About
the first Of May his principal rivals ip
the retail ailline-Arnold, Constable d Co.
will take possession of the magnificent
store built for them at Broadway and
Eighteenth street. 1t covers whole
block on Broadway, and is a much finer
looking building than Stewards, though
not quite 30 large. Another big dry
goods firm, Lake & McCreery, will also
move up town in May. A splendid build
ing has been erected for them one block
above Stewards, aud just opposite the
ST. Denis Hotel. When Arnold, Consta-
bic & Co., and Lake & McCreery move
up, Lord & Taylor will be the only large
retailers below Tenth street. 1t does not
seem many years since the principal
retail trade was centered between Canal
street ard Stewards old house at Cham
bers street, and the center is now fully
two miles up Broadway. At that time a
man proposing to open store at Union
Square would have been pronounced
mad, and now almost every house in the
neighborhood is converted into store.
Stewart led trade up to Tenth street
about ten years ago, and it is now
couple Of miles above him. Cor. Boston

Rights of Property of Married Women in
the District.

The Senate yesterday passed the bill
regulating the rights of property Of mar
riea women in the District of Columbia,
which provides that the right Of any mar
ried woman to any property, personal or
real, belonging to her at the time of her
marriage, or acquired during marriage,
in any other way than by gift or convey
ance from her husband, shall be as abso-
lutte as if she were femme sole, and shall
not be subject to the disposal Of her hus-
band, nor be liable for his debts; but
such married woman may convey, devise
and bequeath the same, or any interest
therein, in the same manner and with
like effect as if she were unmarried. Any
married woman may contract, and sue
aud be sued in her own name, in all mat
ters having relation to her sole and sep
arate property in the same manner as if
she were unmarried; but neither her hus-
band nor his property shall be bound by
AIRY such contract, nor liable for any re-
covery against her in any such suit, but
judgment may be enforced by execution
against her sole and separate estate in
the same manner as if she were sole.

Hon. Pierre soule-A Former United States
Senator and His Son Insane.

From the New Orleans Times, l0th.I
The melancholy fact can no longer be
concealed. One Of the brightest of intel.
lects and bravest OF spirits has sunk into
hopeless imbecility. A rare genius has
suffered total eclipse. Passions once
so strong, noble and generous; faculties
that were wont to engage the admiration
of all, to illumine all subjects and dtfase
O radiance In oil circles, have succumbed
to some mysterious power, and now thick
darkness and debility possess the mind
and soul of one of the most gifted OF our
citizens.
Yesterday petition was presented to
Judge Dnvigneaud by Messrs. Charvet
and Duplantier, praying that Pierre
Soule be interdicted, and that curator
be appointed to take charge OF his affairs.
The petition alleges his permanent and
co mplete prostration and incapacity.
This distressing misfortune has long been
known in the community. From delicacy
to his esteemed family, it has not been
regarded as proper to be referred to In
the public prints. This reasoa can no
longer suppress the expression OF our
profound sol row aud sympathy Tor the
distinguished gentleman and his af1lcteo
family. The unhappy condition OF Mr..
Soule has been produced by family sor-
rows of the most distressing character.
His only son some time ago. manifested
symptoms of ment, VI alteration. Ihese
have become permal tent, and now both
father and son dem and the incessant
care of devoted relativ, ,s and friends. 10

prime as one of the most vigorous
minded of men, wit facult. 'es OF extraor,
binary brilliancy, and 80 we'll preserved

calamities-could unseat an intelLsct so

Recalling the brilliant career OF the
affiicted gentleman, when the balls o!
legislation and the courts of justice rang
with the echoes of his melodious tones,
and audiences we're held enchslned by
his magical eloquence; when his noble
presence in every assemblage and on all
occasions drew upon him the admiring
gaze of all beholders, the beautiful and
melancholy lines of Shakespeare occur
to us with peculiar force and impressive
ness:

pleied at the Central Pacific shops II

1t is divided into large nHmber Of
eompartments-one lined with zinc for
meat, several for groceries, vegetables,
etc. one with a wire door for live fowls (;
large tanks for fresh water, and all ar
ranged as neatly and eompactly as can
well be imagined. At one end Of the car
there are several bertbs for the accom-
modation Of the train hands. The car is
strongly built, and. having both rubber
aud steel springs, is probably one Of the
easiest riding in the State.

Fearful Scene in a Church.

From the Waukegan (1llJ Gazette. March l3.l
For some week or two past six mis-
sionary priests have been holding forth at
the Roman Catholic Church in this city,
and have attracted large audiences, a
great many persons not belonging to the
same having attended from curiosity. On
Monday evening last the church was
filled at an early hour. In the body OF
the church, lighted by two chandeliers,
and toward the west end, were number
of Protestants. The person in charge OF
the lamps, shortly after seven o'clock,
undertook to lower the chandelier nearest
the altar. 1t is en- iron frame, with the
peudant-rod working with screw. Un-
fortunately he turned it the wrong way,
after adjusting the lamps, and the result
was to unscrew the two rods, the chan
deIier falling and the burning oil spilling
over the excited crowd underneath. a
general panic ensued, windows we're
broken. and for time the scene dehed
description. The doors of the church
open inward, and the surging crowd OF
course rendered the work OF opening
them slnost impossible for time. A sea
of fame, some six feet square, threat
ened the building. and that it still stands
to-day is owing to the intFepidity of few
Protestant gentlemen, assisted by two or
three Romanists, who tore mp the altar
Garnet. which was wooden, and smothered
the Gre. The accident resulted in badly
bruising and slightly scorching several
persons. we are glad that no fatal ter
minetiou ensued, but that It IS not our
painful duty to chrenicle q terrible
tragedy this week, is owing to the pres
suoe of mind of a few individuals.

sehenek ON Grant.

The man who, of al! others, seems most
disgusted at the new regime is "Generar
Schenck. His initial grumble was de-
lvered on Friday, when he,ias one OF the
committee appointed by Congress, waited
on the new President, in the customary
way. to inquire if he had any communi-
cations to make to the two Houses. Ins
committee found Grant in his Office, in
formed him of their mission, and were
told in reply by the great Ulysses that he
had sent his chief-of-staff to the Senate
with a message" Thereupon the Con-
oressmen took their leave politely, and
rode back to the Capitol. On the way,
scheuck broke an ominous silence to IN
on;re what in the hell the President OF
me limited States had to do with chief
of.staff and all the committee joined
in the belief that it tcds a little singular

pression more from past haoit than iu-
