pressed his firm conviction that the

Three Hundred.

Those who love to pass leisure mo-
ment punching ivory balls at five
pins, have had their inclinations con-
siderably dampened by the recent ac-
ton Of the grand jury and the verdict
Of juries. Over three hundred indict-
ments have been found against parties
for playing pool. BY common consent
and the silence of the law, the game
has been legalized for years. The word
legalize is, of course, loose term in
this connection, but 1t expresses an
idea everybody well understands.
There is scarcely man in this city
who has not, at one time or another,
played pool. No one ever dreamed
they were violating the statute, but
thought their amusement entirely in
nocent. Now that the law-for 1t is
law to indict pool players--is about to
be enforced In all Its vigor, the own
ers Of pool tables will devise means
to evad 1t. This, AZ experience shows,
will not be difficult. % 'almtiiaas

that they are all agreed to swear him
in on them. Nevertheless, we would
like to see the list of Republican sena-
tors who will append their names to

London Times: The withdrawal Of
Mr.. Hayes and Mr. Wheeler from

that victory would be dishonor is
scarcely, perhaps, TO be hoped for, but
at least it may he said that two public

as it has always been, with and with,

years, and the chief difficulty in the
way of an adjustment will be removed.
1t Is the apprehension of an attempt to

illiterates and foreignersi who have
not learned the American language
should be DISTINGUISHED for the future,
may or may hot be u reasonable one,

coming from the chief of party which

A VERY STUPID JOKE.

tice appeared in Leavenworth, Kan
sas, Times, saying that R. S. Craig
and Miss Jennie Tanner, who are
prominent society people, were mar
ried. This caused some comment
among their numerous friends, as
nothing of the kind had been thought
of. The notice, as published, proved
to be untrue, and when the matter
was probed to the bottom it was found
that the notice had been inserted at
the instance of William Valian, who
thought he would play joke on the
young people. The Times, when it
found it had been imposed upon,
wrote up the matter in its true Ii ght,
and gave the name of young Viliant

over the matter, and the law viii

PRoOEEDINGs OF COURT
New CASTLE, Dec. 10,

The prisoners, Collins and Chambers,
who were convicted of outrage upon
Mrs. Smith, were brought forward and
sentenced. Upon the Court asking of
Saml Chambers If he had anything to
say. he replied that he was an innocent
man, that Collins had said to him that he
had made that confession because he was
afraid of being hung by the people. He
said the woman Smith didn't give in the
same evidence here that she did at the
'Squire's office ; aud the colored woman
who had said she knew him didn't
live where she said she did and that If
she did she got his name from the chill
dren on the road. His employer always
gave him a basket of peaches to throw
out TO keep the boys from breaking into
new baskets, and when they saw him
coming they always spoke his name, and
it was in this wise she had learned his
name, and she became familiar with his
face by looking at him in his cell
George Collins, in answer to the same
question, said, 81 was at home that
night"
The sentence of the prisoners was that
"On the 22d of March, between the hours
OF 10 and o'clock, they he taken from
their place of confinement and hung by
the neck until they are dead"
Other business was disposed of, after
which Court adjourned until next term.
The names of those who received
licenses aud those who did not, were re-
fused TO the reporters for publication, for

embezzlers, and that they have fed
from the city. Misappropriation OF
money was begun about a year ago
and was carried on until detection
became certain. The deficiency is
estimated at $4,000, but some of
the creditors think it will reach
100000. The books of the firm
show that the cost of carrying on the
business had been $4,000 a year,
while the income was only $4,000.
When the firm collected money they
put it in bank to their own credit
and drew checks against deposits for
their own use. The assets of the
firm amount to about 5000.

DR.. WALKERS WIFE.
WHAT SHE CLAIMS AND WHAT HE
SAYS.

WHAT SHE CLAIMS AND WHAT HE
SAYS.
DR.. Joseph Walker, the vinegar
bitters manufacturer, appeared before
Justice Bixby' Tuesday, in the JEFF
ferson Market Police Court. New
York, to answer a charge of deser-
tion by his wife, Eliza Jane Walker.
Mrs. Walkers complaint alleged that
she was married to the Doctor in
August, 1868, at San Francisco,
CAL; that both before and since her
marriage she has been largely in
strumental in creating the business
income of her husband, which, she
says, has amounted to as much as
100000 a year that she lived
with the defendant in this city from
1869 until he left her, and since the
fall of 1876, at No. 343 West
Fifteenth street I; that since last
August the Doctor has warned peo-
pie not to trust her on his account,
and three months ago abandoned her
and her children, leaving them to
look out for themselves, and contri-
buting nothing to their support, and
that she had nothing to live on, and
wishes her husband to be brought to
account. The Doctor, in defence,
made affidavit that he has a suit
for divorce pending against Mrs.
Walker, and that in four weeks the
question of alimony raised by her
suit will be decided that he owns
no real estate except house and lot
in Brooklyn and one in Jersey City,
both of which are heavily mortgaged;
that he is not the proprietor of the
vinegar bitters business, but that it
is owned by Mcdonald 4 Co., of No.
526 Washington street, who pay him
a royalty only that he has received
only $4,000 as royalty from them
since the lst of last January, and,
owing to the large expense which
Messrs. Mcdonald & Co. are at pre-
sent going into for the purpose of
extending their business, he does not
expect to receive any income from
the sale of vinegar bitters for one
year to come. The Doctor further
says that Mrs. Walker has been a
very "expensive luxury" to him,
having, together with the lawyers
which she had saddled him with,
cost him within very short time
over 100000. "And that's where
my fortunes gone" said he. Justice
Bixby decided to compel the Doctor
to pay Mrs. Walker 500 per week
for her support until the decision re-
garding alimony shall be rendered,
and to hold himselfready to appear
before the Justice on the day after
the aIimony decision is rem
dered
