HOW THE WOMEN VOTED,

Describing an election for school trus-
tees in Denver, Colorado, on the 18th
inst, the News, of that city, says: "Three
hundred and twenty.three votes were
cast by women, and some laughable Incl
dents occurred during the day. The mar
ried ladies' almost invariably gave their
husbands initials, and one of them want
ed to vote for her husband, who couldn't
come,' she said. Several ladies, in giving
their names, added very earnestly thatthey
didn't want them to go into the papers.
Only one vote was challenged that of a
young miss of eighteen, who knew she
was old enough 10 marry, and thought
she was old enough to vote. Everything
passed off pleasantly enough, but thei Q
was little quiet indignation at the al
tempt to run in an opposition ticket by
bidding for the suffrage votes, and the
women would have damaged their cause
materially If they had suffered themselves
to be led away captive by the scheme. :
Fortunately, they did themselves the
credit of voting according to their iudg-
ment, not their prejudices.

A BOSTON SCANDAL.

Boston is to enjoy the luxury of scan-
dal case, the trial of which was TO have
commenced yesterday, being that of
Mrs. Sarah M, Rice, the keeper of a first
class boarding-house, against John Il.
Coolidge and other leading citizens of
Boston, for conspiracy and defamation.
Amongst Mrs. Rice's hoarders was Mr..
Joseph Sweet Coolidge and his wife, who
had lived happily together for ten years,
when she went to Europe and sent over
word that she would never live with her
husband again. In 1871 she began an
action for divorce in Boston, but gave it
up. In 1873 she began another in Du-
buque county, Iowa. on the grounds OF
adultery with Mrs. Rice, and also of cru
elt7. Scanlon. a detective, was employed
by her to work up the case. He discov-
cred plenty If witnesses, such as they
were, and took their dispositions, but the
Dubuque action was met in such way
by the husband that the libel was dis
missed. Scanlon went over to the hus-
bands party, and some of the witnesses
testified that their dispositions were OBJ
tanned through improper Influences. The
documentary testimony was very nm
favorable to Mrs. Rice as it respected
her relations to her boarder, and now
this suit is brought to vindicate tie
lady's good name and fame, and her
damages are laid at $4,000. The de-
PENDANTS are all of the best society of
Boston, one member of the Coolidge
family, an uncle OF Mr.. Joseph Coolidge.
having married daughter Of Thomas
Jefferson, and biogrulh of the Virgin

Miss Coolidge, his gr nddaughter. Nj.
Putnam, another defendant, is a son of
the Rev. George Putnam, for long
time the popular pastor OF the Elliot
Unitarian Church in Boston.

Rev. A. ID. Davis spoke for short time.
during which he denounced the LAWYERS
Tor not coming out on the side of temper-
ance. But the reason was easily account
ed for as they knew very well that if the
sale OF rum was stopped they would have
no business. There had only been one
lawyer who had dared to come out on
the side OF temperance, and lie advised,
and wanted all temperance people. who
had any work for the lawyers to take it to
that one who had signed the pledge. He
ADVISED The same thing on the part of the
physicians. At the close of his address
he was followed by Mr.. butcher, who
was received by long and continued ap-
plallse. lie said that he was glad to get
back TO his nearest and dearest friends,
he felt that he had home here in the
hearts OF the people, if nowhere else
While he had been away he had told the
people, where he lived, what great big
hearts the people of Delaware had, and
some of them had asked him in surprise,
"Why, MIR. butcher, how is it that YOU
love Wilmington more than the home
that you have lived in for over I8 years?'
l answered them in the language of Cice-
ro' Che should have quoted Brutus) "Not
that | love Caesar less but Rome more:'
mot that | love Massachusetts less but
Wilmington more" lie closed his re-
marks by saying, 1--WE will fling out oul
banners, and inscribe upon them 'Wil
inington for Jesus and Temperance.
During the evening Mr.. Wells announ
ced that on next Wednesday the temper
ance people would hold picnic, ant
they wanted temperance people to aitent

THE WAR IN THE EAST.
THE COMING EVENT ON THE DANUBE

LONDON, June IA special dispatch
from Vienna to the second edition Of the
Daily Telegraph says "On the Cars
arrival at PloiestI a council of war will
be held, and on the 7th instant orders are
to be given for crossing the Danube at
lbrail and Turnu Magureli. An impor-
tant demonstration under Prince Charles
will be made from Kalafat."
IMPORTANT MOVEMENTS ON THE AsIAT-
IC SIDE.
LONDON, June 1.-Reuter's telegram

An important movement is being car
red out by the Ottoman forces from Van.
The Russian left wing has made a
fresh moven ent upon Kara Killisso and
Taprak Kaleh. A detachment of the

Olti and Marines. Mukhtar Pasta is

great fire has occurred in Tiflis. The

DELAY OF MOVEMENTS.
| LONDON, June ] "A special dispatch
| from Vienna To the Times has the following:
"One thing seems pretty certain that for
one reason or another, possibly for several,
dslay has occurred in the Russian az III, G
in ASIA Possibly even the necessity OF
sending some OF the reserve troops from
| Trans Caucasus to secure communication
through the Caucasus may have contribu-
ted - retard the advance. Fortunately for
Russia the Turks seem scarcely in a posi-
tion to take advantage of this delay. AL
accounts from the spot agree that the con
dition of their forces is even worse than il
generally believed. They are considerable
fewer than has been assumed, aud with the
exception of arms lack everything requisite
for an army in the field. There seems ever
TO be hardly any reserve stock of ammuni
ton, especially for the artillery. IL is i'm
possible 10 expect that all these shortcom
mings can be remedied before the Rlssiaut
push forward to l rLeroum.''

full talk which the Presidents friends

that there is disaffection as well as apathy
in ihe Republican party in the Buckley

sets in the election will revert to the de-
mocrats by default, in any event the
chances for radical victory are painfully
small.

A PIP FROM NEW YORK FOR THE

FROM MPIIILADE
Messrs. r. X. Robinson, d Co., and
Heald d Co., bankers of this city, who
are agents for the sale of the new five
per cent. water bonds, have received a
bid from the New York house of John
Zebly, Jr., for the whole loan. ($150.000,)
at 95 per cent. They also received a
bid from Philadelphia house, for part
of the loan at the same rate. Both offers
were submitted to the city officials, and
were declined by them, and have been
withdrawn by the bankers.
1nasmuch as but few cities have latte +.
ly succeeded in negotiating per cent
loans, notably, Baltimore and Reading,
the offer to take our loan, shows a con.
fidence in our financial condition, inte.
gritty, resources and credit.
The officials may have thought that
they were doing right, but considering
the way that bonds are selling, it look
very much as though the offer was
very good.
