who shot Mosher and Douglass, the alb
ductore of Charlie Ross, as they were
burglarizing his residence about year
ago. 1t seems that Charles and Amelia,
his wife, were not all in all to each other,
and Charles INDUCED la breaking the.
seventh commandment now and them
Whereupon, several months since, Anne
liza sought and obtained a decree of di-
Vorce from her unfaithtul spouse. Ac-
cording to the laws OF this State, for
such cases made and provided, Judge
Van Brunt-being the guilty party
could not marry again, the decree dis
tinctly stating: SIT shall not be lawful
for the said defendant, Charles H. Van
Brunt, to marry again until said plaint-
i'll is actually dead" But Charles is a
youthful old fellow and becoming en-
amored of Miss Jennie Bull, OF Roches-
ter, N. Y, but at the time salaried
singer in an Episcopal church where the
Judge attended, ne set his wits at
work We u,ss 70 pa,, circumvens .a the law. law:
the su9rsp Mis a to was oa Eeaand seaf aofsss as
companied by her fond mamma. Soon
thereafter the Judge followed, and on
English soil the knot was tied, three
clergymen officiating, so as to make sure
that New York courts couldn't unite SO
much tied knot. There has been a
greathue and cry since the couple re-
turned about soillng the ermine,
about impeachment and all that, but
nothing has yet been done beyond talk.
AS proof that the leaven is working,
however, it may be noted that it is Gus
| tomary tor the Governor to detail from
| the Common Pleas judges one to
| sit as assistant on the Supreme Court
| bench. Heretofore Judge Van Brunt
has been chosen for this honor, but this
| year he was ignored, and another se-
lected In his stead. AS the Judge is re-
quired to pay tour thousand dollars a
year alimony to Amelia, he has the sym
pathy of men who find the providing
pocket-money for even one woman u
burden grievous to be borne.
THE BROOKLYN DAILY ARGUS
| is notable example of the power and
influence of an honest Journal, indepen :
dent in all things, neutral in nothing,
like the STAR. Although only about
three years old the Argus has accom-
plished work Of which it may we'll be
proud and tor which il has the gratitude
of all good eitizens. 1t was started for
| the express purpose of breaking up the
| Brooklyn ring. 1t has labored persist
emily and tearlessly to that end. Un-
trammeled by allegiance to any party, IL
has bent its energies to battling coffup-
ton wherever found, exposing and De-
feating stupendous frauds, working for
laws to crush municipal rings, and saw
ing to the city thousands OF dollars,
And now it is rewarded by seeing the
magic chain broken asunder, the ring
deposed and a great reform victory.
| THE HARD TIMES
have increased the number of beggars
until they are almost int0lerabie. Tney
call necessarily and beg for bits of
bread, and if refused they ask tor swiu !,
and oitentimes no doubt the latter is de-
voured by pigs not altogether iphuman,
The most Of the beggars are women and
children, many of whom show that only
dire necessity has sent. them cut on sucn
a mission.
| A DIET KITCHEN
has recently been established by the
Brooklyn ladies, similar to the one IN
Boston, where food is prepared and fur
nished gratuitously to the destitute
sick.
THE NEWEST THINGS IN NEcK,TIEs
for ladies is satfron-tinted silk net, wover
in large meshes. These ties are yari
ouslY trimmed, some all around, some
only on the ends, with a heavy silk edg
ing of the same tint. A few come ii
: grays, but the yellow shade is quite the
most popular. Rutfs of Valenciennes
also come in the same tint and the edg
ing by the yard, that can be plated a
