Our readers will remember the above
named case, which recently created such a
sensation here. The facts were that Ada
Hammell daughter of the well-known art
ist, was on intimate terms with young
man named James b. GroOms, that the cou-
pie were engaged, but could not obtain the
consent of the girls parents to their union
The girl had criminal intercourse with
Grooms, who also induced her to steal a
box containing large amount of money
belonging to her father.
The two then eloped and went to Lexing-
ton. Ky, where she was abandoned by
Grooms, and through want of the necessary
means to sustain life, was compelled to en-
ter house of prostitution. She was soon
after found, however by her parents, who
had Grooms arrested on charge of bastardy
The case was taken up before the Court of
Common Pleas.
This morning, on motion of Judge A. J.
Pruden, on part of the plaintiff and with
consent of the defendant, Judge LOngworth
ordered The suit to be dismissed at the plain
tiff's costs, and the papers withdrawn from
the files in Court
BY this course a lot of nastincss will be
saved from the public eye.

JUDGE HILTON.
He Talks Back to the Women.

National Associated Press to the Star.
New York, June 6.-In reference to the
letter which Mrs. DR.. Lozier says Judge
Hilton wrote to a young lady at the Cooper
Union School of Design, wherein it is al
legged he said the price OF board at the
Woman's Hotel would not exceed 81 per
week, the Judge says:
"Its all bosh. Not word of truth in the
assertion. There is no such letter in exist
ence. If these women had such letter,
don't you think they would have been only
too glad to read and publish it. l wonder
at newspapers giving such an amount of
publicity to the vile slandersof these female
creatures some of whom would
not be allowed to enter the
door of any respectable house.
Such talk as they indulge III is all non
sense. Stewards intentions have been car
ried out to the letter by Mrs. Stewart and
her niece. He never intended that women
should sit at these tables who were earning
less than the servants who waited upon
them. He never designed, when he planned
that magnilicently finished building with
its elaborate appointments, costly furniture
and marble floors, that ii should be tenantcd
by scrub women. Why, some Of these fe
males were not satisfied unless they could
have men call upon them in their rooms,
a state Of things you know that could ne.
be tolerated. Again, others of these
women who are loudest in their
denunciations of myself, evince habits
of very offensive character while
stopping there, and frequent complaints
were made. The respectable inmates who
took board at the hotel were well pleased
with the treatment they received, and even
proposed to hold a meeting and adopt
