An Insurance War.

Wilmington had little "Wall street,
fury, yesterday, with this difference.
The war was between the insurance COM
panies. The three old companies hav-
ing recently combined to crush out the
young rival for our peoples custom. The
Euery Erening and Commercial seems to
out the chestnuts by the old companies.
But, the conspiracy was sprung little
i'm advance of the time. The false apd
libellous publication in Mondays Erery
Euentng and Commercial refutes entirely
the vile and slanderous assertion of its
editor in Thursdays edition. Certainly
the gentlemen who preside ever the
Delaware Sta'e Fire and Marine Insur-
ance Company ought to have the same
right to build up company here that
those who preside over the three old
companies enjoy. There is ample room
for another company, as the great sue
cess of the traduced and prosecuted new
one proves. The officers of the new
company declare that their company Is
safer and stronger in assets in proportion
to the amount of their insurance than
other companies in the city and that

so wisely as TO have very few losses,
while it has paid all its former losses. We
hope to see fair play in this matter The
strength of character, and OF purse, too,
seems to be on the side of the new COM
pany, since they have no debts and
claims securities that are even better
than cash, and not so readily depreci-
atcd.
The upshot of the matter was that yes
terday VIM. Bright, President, DR.. J. Il.
Tantum, Vice President, and John Wood
and ID. T. Hawkins, directors of the
Delaware State Fire and Marine Insur-
ance Company, were arrested on charges
of libel preferred by VIM. T. Croasdale,
editorof Erery Erening and Commercial.
Each of the accused gave bail in the sum
of $1,000 Tor appearance at Court. A
counter-suit by the Insurance Company
against the Il. Il. and Commercial is
projected.

Extraordinary interest in Baltimore

John d. Kremeiberg agt. Gertrude j.
Kremelberg. nee Miss Jenkins, and the
decree granted by Judge Gilmor, giving
to the complaint an absolute divorce, has
produced a decided sensation in society
circles. Mr.. Krsmelberg is a wealthy
merchant, and his wife was one of the
most brilliant and beautiful debutantes
in Baltimore society few years ago. She
Is only about %, and preserves all those
charms which, In her youth brought hosts
of admirers TO her feet.
In 1872 Mrs. Kremelberg went to Eu-
rope with her three children, maid, ami
Miss Jennie Kremelberg, daughter of
her husband by his first wife. AT Baden
Baden Mrs. Kremelberg met Baron AL
brecht Won Bruneck, a man OF good posi-
ton in society. The acquaintance ripen-
ed into love. The Baron went to SwltZ-
erland, and in his first letter to Mrs.
Kremelberg speaks of the memory of the
kiss she gave him at pairing, and tills his
letter with other endearing expressions.
In other letters he invites her to Switzer.
land, which she accepts, and together
they visit LuZerne and other places OF
interest. Miss Kremelbsrg wrote TO her
father of the intimacy and he went at
once to Baden Baden. She told him that

Mr.. Kremelberg at once brought his
wife to Baltimore, and wishing to avoid
scandal they took up their residence in
separate apartments in the Carrolton
Hotel. Her family refused to credit the
story of her guilt, and she resumed her
place in society. Testimony was intro
duced to prove the purity of Miss Jen-
kins during her girlhood, and not single
cloud was found on her reputation down
to the time OF her trip abroad. Six
months after her return she consulted
counsel and wrote to her husband, de-
mauding restoration of c0niugal rights
This was refused and "A formal separa-
tion took place, he agreeing TO pay her
$1,000 year. 1t was also shown that
during her two years trip abroad her
personal expenses were $50 200. Several
months after the separation Mrs. Krem-
