Church, in New York, stands out in
bold relied against the dark back
ground of the evening sky, and
from its elevated position can be seen
from all parts of the city. From the

beautiful on clear night. while it

cover Of an oil painting, feet by 4
feet, by Paul Potter, of which the
following description is given;--"A
young bull, broken away from a tree
to which he was tied with a rope, is
attacked on all sides by six dogs.
The brown dog in the foregroud
which attacks the bull by the tongue
is masterpiece Of painting. Anoth-
or dog holding on by the BULBS head
is crushed against heavy tree, COW
ering one of the white dogs all over
with red blood spots. In the back
the bull is attacked by another pow
erful animal; whilst the hindcrmost
dog, clinging to the sides of the bull,
is dragged along by his infuriated
enemy" M. de ;Bergh, ,.an art critic
we'll known in Holland, says that the
famous Young Bull at the Hague,
which everybody goes to see, "is not
to be compared for granduer with
this invaluable treasure"

40 to 8, so that there is at last full
Senate. For the first time for many
years both the seats assigned by the con-

even now the state has only one repre>
sentative, for Kellogg represents nothing
but the returning board in particular and

wBUsttALhGErALL THE MONEY
SEEKING TO BE THE LEGALLY
RECOGNIZED wIDowER OF A
DIVORCED WOMAN. -I--. u

A technical matter in proceedings
which had been begun to set aside dl-
vorce upon the ground that it was OBJ
tained through fraud was the SUBJECT OF
an argument which was to have taken
place Yesterday before Judges Hall, Fell
and Mitchell but which tor some reason
was postponed. 1t appears that henry
Ditsche, who was well known in the up
per part of the city, died many years ago.
and his wife, under the iDtestate laws,
became heir to a considerable o -tion OF
his property. The widow subsequently
married Jacob Bruner. They separated,
and she obtained divorce from him on
May 8, 1875, on the ground of desertion.
A short time ago she died. leaving oy
will the bulk of her fortunei(nearly $780,
O00) to her relatives, excepting few be-
quests to friends aud charitable institu-
tons. To the German Hospital alone
she willed SIC, 900. Bruner, who has been
living in Wilmington, Delaware, from
the time he left her, now comes forward
and seeks to have the decree OF divorce
nvalidated. .B
1t he should succeed in doing this, he
as her husband, will be entitled to all her
personal effects, ,consisting of money, bonds
securities etc., and will also become heir to
all her real estate and can hold 1t for the
term of his natural life. Should this hap~
pen, her will cannot be enforced until after
his death, and then her heirs can get none
of the property except the real estate out
of which the bequest must hrst be PAID
Messrs. Hainrs and Stnltz back are Bru-
uer's q ryers, and Joseph t. Ford is the
couns for ihs heirs. Gust,yns Remak
was Mrs. Bruner's .awyer and obtained the
divorce Tor her. In bis petition to ths

THE BORDER TROUBLES.
A NEW PHASE TO THE QUESTION


WASHINGTON, December 11.-There are
several new points about the Mexican
troubles tonight. Senator Conkling in
troduced another resolution to day, which
was passed, providing for the appointment
of a special commission of seven Senators
to investigate the Mexican border Difficult
ties and authorizing them to send for per-
sons and papers and to report 10 the Sem
ate. Considering that a House committee
is conducting an Investigation, and all per-
sons, from the President down to the low.
est army officer on the frontier say there
is not the slightest ground for anxiety, the
resolution of Conkling is rather signifl-
cant. 1t is generally known here that Mr..
Evarts is opposed to the recognition of
Diaz's government, and that much of the
useless anxiety is due to the Secretary of
State and his course. 1t is even hinted
openly that he wants war with Mexico,
or that he wants to intimidate the success
ful power there to such a degree that he
may obtain treaty particularly advan-
tageous to the United States.
