the law in question, nor whether it
is or is not in any way subYersive,
directly or indirectly, of the recipro-

that the existing inequality Of rights

without other remedy the law of

The MAIN CoMpLETED.-rhe ninth
ward is now supplied with water, the
six-inch main over Market street bridge
having been completed on Monday. The
pipe at the south end of the bridge runs
perpendicularly out of the ground to
beams overhead, and it is then taken
acr9ss beneath the roof, to the northern
end where it descends and pursues its
underground course until it connects
with the main in the Ninth Ward. To
prevent the pipes from becoming losened
by the vibrations of the brige, caused by
heavy wagons crossing. Three slip joints
have been put over the pipes for pro-
lection. Stop.cocks have been placed at
each end Of the bridge by which the pipe
can be emitted in a very few minutes.
The work has been done IN complete
manner as the improvement will be per.
manent, no matter wh 5ther the large
main under the creek, at the Eleventh
street bridge is used or not. by using
both pipes the water will always he kept
in motion. and not allowed TO become
stagnant as heretofore.

PoRr DEposIT. Md, February 9.--The
river at this point has risen upwards of
fifteen inches within theIpast twenty -four
hours. About 5 o'clock this afternoon
the ice began to show signs of jamming,
and. at one time it was feared that rail-
road travel from Perryville to Port De-
posit would be impeded, if not entirely
discontinued, but about $50 o'clock this
evening ths ice ceased running, and the
7oclock train from Perryvile managed
to come in on time, although the conduc-
tor of the train thought it prudent to
land his passengers about mile the
other side of Port Deposit. not daring
to come up to the depot. The ice field
at Havre de Grace remains firm, and the
gorge at McCalPs Ferry. about twenty
niles from here, holds fast. The safety
Of Port Deposit now depends entirely
upon what may take place at MeCalps

MIMIC AND REAL DIVORCE.

AN ACTRESS SEPARATES FROM HER HUs-
BAND TO MARY A wEALTHY.w1DowER.
New HAVEN, Feb. 5,-Mr. Charles E.
Furbish's dramatic company, the Fifth
Avenue Combination" has for several
years travelled in New England, giving
representations of Mr.. Augustin Daly's
plays. The leading lady Of the organ
ization has been Furbish's wife, known
as Georglana Langley. She is beautiful,
about thirty years old, and an excellent
actress. She made a marked success in
the drama Divorce" and now she has
obtained a real divorce from her hus-
band. s-,'
Last summer Mr.. and Mrs. Furbish
stayed in this city for rest, occupying 9
fine cottage, driving fine horses, and
amusing themselves iin good society,"
Here they made they made the aquaint-
ance of Mr.. Don Thompson, a wealthy
widower, and his daughter Lizzie, a
pretty young brunette. These four Y ere
much together in quest of recreation
and it was soon noticed that in their
rides Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Furbisl,
occupied one wagon, and Mr.. Furbish
and Miss Thompson the other. This ar
rangement was not satisfactory to Miss
Thompson, because she discerned that
her father was falling in love with the
| fascinating actress. She called Mr.. Fur
bish's attention to the subject, but ht
took no active measures to stop thu
course of events. Early in the fall, h,
reorganized his company for the dran1at
| ic season, but his wife refused to trave
any more. She said that she intended t.
retire from the stage, and he interpreted
that to mean that she intended to get {
divorce from him and marry Mr.. Thomp
son. He went off on his tour, and {
short time ago received a notice that she
had begun suit to get rid of him. Hei
accusation was drunkenness, and he
wrote to her that he should make no op
opposition, that be was satisfied that she
loved another. Later he sent her tht
message 81 hope you are as happy as
am unhappy" His mother sought X
contest the suit, bat the court ruled thai
she could not do SO except with his con-
sent, which she could not obtain. The
divorce is now granted,
Mr.. Thompson continues his attention
to Miss Langley (late Mrs. Furbisb), ane
they understood to be matrlmonialyfen
gagged. Miss Thompson is greatly in
censed, and when somebody suggested
that she might balance the account by
marrying Mr.. Furbish she replied, "Wel
revenge is sweet" That remark ha:

to the former husband of her prospec-
tive stepmother. re ..Fgt

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The electoral
commission remained in secret session
until 8 o'clock this evening, and then by
mutual agreement adjour ned to meet to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock with the
understanding that a vote will be taken
to-day. '-
At the hotels and all the public places
tonight great variety Of rumors were in
circulation as to the decision of commits
sion. One statement most freely circu-
lated was that it had arrived at the de-
termination to 60 to the fullest extent be-
hind the returns desired by the demo-
cratic counsel. The Foundation for this
was based on the important circumstance
that Jerry Black had been seen to rub
his hands with great satisfaction, and
Gen. Garfield was obs erved walking
homeward looking very disconsolate.
This rumor found hundreds of believers.
So great is the interest taken in the ac-
ton of the commission that scarcely any
thing else was talked of. t4
| tits understood also that the indications
to-day were that there is not likely to be
any serious difference of opinion among
the Supreme Court justices, and further
more that the idea that the determination
of the questions before the commission
are likely to consume all the time to the
fourth of March is entirely without foun
dation. 1t is not believed that more thar
