business in the machinery line. The present
machine is good sample of the mechanical in

IMPENDING CABINET CHANGES.
Trouble Between the President and
Secretary BOUTWELL,.

WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE Presi-
dent has been very busy to-day in con-
sultation concerning the changes made
necessary by the retirement of Secretary
Cox. 1t seems that Immediately after
his resignation was received and &C
cepted, that position was rendered to
Mr.. Dclano, who agreed to accept it,
provided he could have the privilege OF
naming successor for Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, so as to insure his
numerous friends in the bureau,
and especially in Ohio, against
removal. Mr.. Boutwell, very naturally
desired to be consulted in the matter,
and it at once became apparent that
his ideas in regard to new Commis-
sioner and those of Mr.. Delano did not
agree. The latter wishes the President
to appoint General B. r. Cowan, now
Supervisor for Southern Ohio, and in
consultation to-day the President was
strongly inclined to make the appoint
ment. In case he does the Presidents
near friends assert that it vii! involve
a direct break with Secretary Boutwell,.
They also declare that the President
has already taken some steps looking
to a change in the Treasury Depart
meut before the meeting of Congress.

MANSFIELD, October IA most re.
markable breach OF promise case has
just been commenced here bv Mary E.
McNelly against Michael Nohsck, OF
this CITY, Matson and Dirlam, attorneys
for plaintiff. The damages are laid at
$4,000. The remarkable feature of
this case is in the fact that The parties

six years, supposed to be man and wife
and have three children, and at least
one of these children is married and has
children, making the parties of the suit
grandparents Nohock, the defendant,
has la,ely fallen heir to a considerable
property, and his changed condition has
tempted him to rove in fresh pastures,
which of course has excited the jeal-

hence the suit
A Mrs. Royce obtained, in the courts
OF this county, about a month ago,
divorce from her husband, Thos. Royce,
for adultery, free-love and such moral
delinquencies, and was allowed alimony
and the custody Of her children. To
day Mr.. Royce filed motion through
his attorneys, Burns & Dickev, to set
aside the decree so far as alimony ani
the custody of the children is concerned
The trial is set for the November term.
From what has leaked out in regard to
this case, it promises to be Of the most
sensational character, revealing depth
of moral turptitude that will be perfect
ly astounding.
