RUINED BY LOTTERY PLAY.

Mary Brown, who set fire Monday evening
to her apartments on the fifth floor OF the
tenement house No. Ais West Thirty ninth
street, thereby imperiling the lives OF twenty
five families, was taken before Justice Smith,
at jefferson Market Police Court, yesterday.
She is the wife of Edward r. Brown, a sober,
industrious carpenter, by whom she has four
children. Size is fOrty-six years old, and is
said to be on the verge Of insanity from the
effects of hard drinking. The story of her
husband, as related in his affidavit, was to the
effect that when he returned home from work
on Monday evening he found the woman drunk
and no supper prepared for him. He had given
her $40 on Saturday night the larger portion
of which she expended in the purchase of beer
and rum. After upbraiding her for negleGttng
to get him some supper, he left the house
His little son, William, told the justice that
his mother had assaulted his father with an
ice-pck when he requested her to prepare the
evening meal. Not long after the husband
had left the apartments smoke and flames
were seen issuing through the windows
startling the other occupants OF the house,
and creating great excitement in the neigh
bOrhOOd. ROundsman Mccarthy who ran up
stairs into the burning rooms, found that q
mattress which had been removed from IN
adjoining bedroom was burning, and that the
fire had communicated to the woodwork In
the room. A smell of kerosene pervaded the
apartment which was deserted. The fire was
extinguished by members Of the fire depart
ment but not before 0he building had been
damaged tothe extent Of $500, and the furni-
ture Of the Brown family totally ruined.
Formal affidavits, embracing the circum-
stances attending the insane act Of the pris-
Oner were then made by witnesses. She was
committed for trial without bail, and followed
the officer into the prison without betraying
the remotest approach to penitence for her
crime or sorrow at parting from her husband
and children. While in the station-hOuse on
Monday evening Mrs. Brown informed one of
the officers that her troubles arose, to some
exent, from passion for
POLICY PLAYING,
O. passion which is rather common among GER
tain classes of women in the lover walks OF
Metropolitan life. The $40 which her husband
accused her of sguandering for drink was, she
said all spent save tOrty-One cents in petty

TO-DAY's ECLIPSE.

An eclipse of the sun occurs to-day, ana In
this city will be almost total. Our city is out
of the line of totality as calculated and fixed
l,v some Of the astronomers, but compare
lively such short distance that to observers
the appearance of the phenomenon will be
that of q total eclipse.
This eclipse is one which has attracted the
attention Of the scientific men of the world,
and from all parts have come men OF genius
and talent to witness it.
An appropriation of $4,000 has been made by
Elp Congress- of the United States to defray
The expenses of observations by the astrono-
mers OF the government,
Under the direction OF the naval observa-
tory at Washington, five parties have been
sent out and are stationed at alneFehI pOlnCs
lin the country. BY these parties spectrosco-
pic and thermo-electrio observations Will re
made, and photographs taken. They Will
also search for nitrO-mercurtal planets, ana In
fact every opportunity for investigation OF
discovery will be taken advantage OF, and as
Che work has been systematically arranged,
fhp combined results of the observations Of
she astronomers will not only be OF great IN
tprest to the scientific world but will also be
sef much Importance, and will no doubt de-
pelop facts which will add to it's knowledge.
The eclipse will be visible Throughout North
America. 1t will pass north somewhat south
III Denver and north of Salt Lake City into the
41Iif OF Mexico, between bIliS Guy anu oai w.

That there ID possibility that it will be total,
that the moon as it approaches the earth is

TUR RAGE.

The races which were given yesterday by
the Neptune Rowing and Tub Club were wit
messed by large number of people. During
the race the crews of the Hope, Lee and other
rowing clubs who were practioing, pulled in
to the head OF Elmira street and Witnessed
the contest. The first was single scull race,
four entries, as follows: John Clancy, F.
Roig, John Roig and Wattigny. The course
was across the river and back. It was won
by +. Roig in eight and half minutes, John
Roig second.
The feature of the day was grabbing
match for two ducks, which was very laugh
able. There were twenty-five contestants.
O. Wagner and John Roig were the victors,
and went home presumably happy, each with
q duck.

SOUTH CAROLINA's THREAT.
Judge Kershaw's Declaration That He
May Disregard the United states writ.
IN. Y. Tribunal

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The Charleston
News of yesterday commenting upon the an
nouncement that the government would pro-
badly. proceed by writ OF h0beds corpus from
the Circuit Court Of the United States to re-
lease the revenue officers confined in that
State, says:
Unless the government recedes distinct
issue will be raised with the State courts. In
intimated that any resort to compulsory pro-
cess might lead to unpleasant consequences,
and in his charge to the grand jury at Pickens
last month he said that II the United States
court acted outside of it's authority, it would
unlawful interference" That Judge Kershaw
will regard the proposed action of the United
States court as outside Of its authority is
evident from the decision already rendered
by him. We presume that he weighed the
full meaning Of his words, and the State
will stand by him and his officers in making
them good.
