Two DIVORCES ON SATURDAY-In the
Equity Court, on Saturday, Judge Wylie made
decree of divorce in the case of Mary Jane
DIndelot VS. Jerome Francis Dandelot. The
petitioner alleges that her maiden name was
Mary Jane Cox; that she was married on the
10th OF December, 1866, by Rev. Vim. O'Rielly,
in Providence, X. l., and that che lived with her
husband until February, 1871, when they sepa-
rated because he INDUCED too freely in The use
OF intoxicating liquors; struck her with his
elenehed hand; and in December, 1870, threw at
her an iron stove plate; and that he committed
adultery with women of abandoned character
The judge also granted decree in the case of
Ann Eliza Young ast. William w. Young. The
plaintiff complained that they were married in
the city OF Georgetown, by Rev. VIM r. Wicks,
on the 18th of November, 1874; that she ia now
43, and her husband 80 years of age; that thew
have five children; that he has at various times
maltreated her by kicking and choking her and
striking her in an inhuman and cruel manner;
that he is now employed in the Census Bureau
at salary of slG0 per month, and has employ
ment outside of the government; that she has
been required TO support her family by her own
industry. She prayed, therefore, for SIS a month
alimony, and that she might resume her maiden
name, Ann Eliza Cook, with the right to again
marry If she desires to, and that she NAV have
the custody Of her children. all OF which was
granted.

TIE WoMEE's CLUB WANT Mrs. SPENCER
TO DEVOTE HER ENTIRE ENERGIES To THE
WoMAN'S CoLLEGE."-At a meeting of the
Woman's Club on Saturday evening, encour-
aging letters were read from Mrs. /. L. Hooker
and Mrs. Josephine Butler, of England. GRAFT
Tying reports of progress at the Woman's Col
lege were presented. A petition, signed by all
the students of the Woman's College was pre-
sented, urging Mrs. Spencer " to terminate her
relations with the Business College, now heavily
taxing her strength, and devote her time and
talents to the interests of the WOman's Club and
tne Momans College, which so greatly need her
emclent services" The position was unani-
mously Endorsed by the club and il is probable
that Mrs. Spencer will sever her connection with
the Washington Business College, and devote
all her energies to the WOman's College. The
treasurer report, which was read shows that
since the last mass meeting 81 ,0S6 has been col
lected and disbursed in the purchase of furni-
ture, partial payment on the house. and the
expenses of putting the college in operation. OF
the subscriptions made at the two mass meet
ings, about 500 remain uncollected and win
soon be called in. :

RAILROAD Acc1DESTs.-We publish this
morning full particulars Of the horrible ac'
cident which recently occurred near Nash
vile. To persons who travel much these
"accidents seem to be great crimes
against humanity. Is there no way In
which the travelling public can be secured
against such .'acctdents? Bridges do moi
become weak or WORKOUT by "accident.'
Bridges are always pronounced by railroad
men to be as safe as any other part of the
road, let the height of the bridges be what
it may. But here is 4 miserable apology
for a bridge-one only twenty feet high -
over small stream but eight feet deep, the
breaking Of which bridge has nevertheless
carried woe and suffering to many family
A mere fall of twenty feet might have killed
none of the passengers 4; but to fall that
distance in the body of IN upturned rail-
road car, and then have the seats fall upon
you, and then have passengers, seats, and
all tumhlcd into eight feet Of water, is Il
different thing. There should be somebody
hunted up and punished tor the criminal
carelessness which permitted this "acci'
dent" TO happen.

A NEW SOUTHERN RAILROAD CONNECTION.
The new piece of railroad connecting the
delaware river with New York city by way
Of the great fruit region of Vineland was
completed last week, and the road will be
open to travel and traffic DeXt week.
The New York Post of Friday says
company has formed which will put line
of ierry-boats on the Delaware river to con-
meet the southern terminus of the new line
with the Delaware railroad system. AT the
same time short railroad line to connect
this ferry with the Delaware railroad at
SMYRNA has been let out on contract to an
energetic contractor, who meaus to have it
completed in time, we hear, for the Della

ised, we shall get our peaches frem Della

land region, much cheaper and more quick

Correspondence OF the Richmond :.ispatch.1
BALTIMORE, July I, 1871.
What shall [ say OF this noble city OF my
NATIVITY? Baltimore Of old, famed for hcl
monuments. now famed for her enterprise,
| energy, and prosperity, and generous I'M
pulses Of her people. You know that the
name OF Baltimore is deSerycdiy dear to the
people Of Richmond.
My musings on nearing Baltimore, after
an absence of many years, may not Dc OF
any special interest to the multitude, yet
they may help to illustrate what is meant by
progress. Thirty five years ago [ went to
school in Baltimore at or . O'Clock in the
morning, and remlincd in school till 8 in
the afternoon, having recess Of one hour
1t midday. After in the afternoon till
lark | could run from one end OF the town
10 the other; but how is 1t now? Why.
now L could not so over and around Bal
timore in less time than week. WHAT is
The cause of all this great prosperity: Some
will say natural advantage of location !;
others will say railroads and industry and
energy of the people; but whatever it
NAV be, why MAY not some such
Influence be brought to bear on
Richmond? Life is active here; labor
and industry ale considered honorable, and
'hlngs arc progressing.
Streets are graded, paved, and improved,
strect-cars traverse very many Of the streets,
and render access to every portion of the
city easy. 1T takes money to carry on all
these improvements, but it is money well
spent. and the history Of no city can be
furnished that exhibits a case OF enlarged
prosperity without Il previous expenditure
Of money. The farmer gamers in rich
harvest OF golden grain rs the result OF MS
previous expense of tertilizlng; the man
Of bushes, expects prosperity only in pro-
portion as he invests in business; so, also,
in securing prosperity to city, money
must he spent to natural advantages lnusI
be added all the artificial means that money
can procure. These reflections may pe
puerile, or they may be enlarged ldeas r.
sultinc from sight of a great ana nopla
city. together with the cherished nope tlat
our own seven-hilled city, thirty years
hence, may enjoy prosperity similar to that
which is enjoyed here. .,,, co,,o
