HE ATTEMPTS TH1EvERY AT NIGHT.

NEW York, March 12.
The overthrow OF the Erie Railroad ring is
viewed with satisfaction in every quarter.
The Herald says no coupe detdt was ever more
successful since the famous second December
at Paris, when the Assembly was dissolved by
Napoleon and it's leaders imprisoned.
The history of the Erie ring will disclose
prodigality and crime that will astonish even
those who had appreciated the character of the
ring.
At a late hour, last night, Gould attempted to
abstract the books of the Company, but was
foiled. One of the Ring directors says that the
whole business is the work of the Atlantic and
Great Western Company, in order to get control
of Erie, so as to help the Atlantic and Great
Western out Of its difficulty

A ROMANTIC PHASE or REAL LIFE - HOW THE
Ko CKERs MADE up
In tho celebrated Koecker Divorce Case, in
Philadelphia, yesterday, Mr.. Ouyler, the counsel
for the wife, (who asked divorce) arose and
asked the court to withdraw juror, discontinue
the case. and withdraw the libel from the records
of the court. stating that from evidence which
had been privately submitted to them they were
satisfied that the charges could not be sustained
The main charge was that DIR. Koecker had been
criminally intimate with young lady, Miss
Annie Morgan. The witnesses TO prove this ap-
pear to have been mistaken, and Mrs. Koecker
in great mental anguish, resolved to end the
case. She went to her home, last week. from
the trial, 30 intensely excited as to become de-
ranged. She il now recovered from that but is
yet in a critical condition.
The case had its origin in the spring of 1862
and has been prominently before the conrts and
the public since that time. A large number of
distinguished barristers have from time to time
been concerned in it, and the contest has been
fought with unparalleled malignancy on both
sides. As Judgel Allison said, ut was cause
that should never have been brought into court.
The differences are now all adjusted, and both
| agree to live as man and wife should only live.
This reconciliation not effected by any pecu-
mary interests. These were all waved aside,
| when the object dear to their hearts was the re-
umOu of dsmembered family.

A Terrible Tragedy In Ohi0-Insnne Paren
Murder their Children.


A terrible tragedy occurred near Dayton Ohio,
on Saturday night Leonard Marguardt, Ger
mon farmer, murdered his wife, Mary, and three
Of their children, the youngest six months and
the two eldest respectively six and eight years of
age. Two children escaped. The murderer, who
is in Jail appears to be insane. 1t seems that
his wife was also insane. He says that he and
his wife afterprayer, Jointly murdered their child
rem, beating out the brains Of the youngest and
drowning the two others. Leaving the bodies Of
their drowned children on the river bank, and
the body of the infant in the woods, they return
ed home to bed. After lying there few min
utes, he told his wife that he WANTED to send
her to heaven" and then strangled her. He
then rose, and. after praying until 8 O'Clock
went to the nearest neighbor and told the story.
Marguardt has been IS years in this country, and
murdered woman was his second wife. The bo-
dies Of the children were found as described by
him. At an inquest held yesterday the two child
rem who escaped testified that on the night of
the murders they were "hunted" by their pa
rents, but succeeded in hiding themselves; they
saw their father "kll the baby first" and then
saw their mother kill the others. They also cor
roborated the fathers the story about the pray
ing.
