been arrested by private detective ut TiAny's who
testified that the day before Christmas they pro.

containing three bracelets they only returned ons
Moving up the counter they were followed by him.
and tho two bracelets. which he Of the pris.
oners take. were found lying at her feet. On his
cross-examination the dotective admitted that ho
had only been in Tifany's employ but three weeks.
and that he had had other employment
but that of private detective his own
account for the past twelve years. Mr.. Howe said
the women should have been discharged by the
police magistrate for the socalled aud sefconsti.
tuted detective not corroborated by any Of Tif
fsuys employees or any other person. and that 1t
monstrous to commit those prisoners upon his un-
supported testimony for the danger resulting from
such precedent would deter all respectable ladies
from shopping, and inasmuch no jury could by
any possibility convict, tho accused should be dis
charged. Assistant District Attorney Leary could
not question the character OF the prisoners, but

s3.0Oo Justice Donohue has just rendered decision
in favor OF the city upon motion made by the
Corporation Counsel to set aside the verdict a.

showed conciusively that tho wagon upset $50
feet away from the bridge. The verdict set aside
by Justice Donohue upon the ground that there was
evidence to connect the injury claimed to have
been received by the plaintiff with the rut in tho
roadway. and upon tho further ground that the
verdict, sustained ut all must be upon the owl

DECISION OF JUDGE VAN HoEsEN IN TIE RoBs
ERrsoN DIVoECE sU,r.

DECISION OF JUDGE VAN HoEsEN IN THE ROB-
ERTsoN DIVORCE SUIT.
Judge Van Hoesen yesterday rendered decision
on the motion for substitution OF attorneys In the
old divorce suit OF Phoebe Robertson against West
moro r. Robertson. Some time ago decree Of divorce
was obtained by the plaintiff. and eight days before
the decree was granted she married Richard C. Fell
lows. lawyer IN this city. Subsequently Mr. Fol-
lows sought TO obtain . divorce from her. and in
order to do So a. alleged induced Robertson 20 come
to this city and institute proceedings to open the
Judgment obtsined'by the plaintiff against him. Mr..
W. II. Van Wyck was employed a. counsel. and re-
Gently motion was made to have w. w. Badges
substituted In his place. Mr. Robertson having
In the meantime concluded to abandon the proceed
ings to reopen tho Judgment Mr.. Van WICK and
Mr.. Fellows were unwilling to drop the proceedings.
Judge Van Hoesen. In his decision says that it IL
perfectly clear that the defendant employed Mr. Van
IL. this action but it is evident that he has since
changed his mind and now wants the judgment to
stand: There Is no objecion he says. 70 substtu:
tion II Mr.. Van Wyck be paid. The attorney cannot
recover however for any services rendered after his
client has requested him to act. There must bo .
Reference therefore,, to ascertain the value OF Mr..
Van Wyck's services. and whether ho agreed to acs
gratuitously in attackng the Judgment. The Judge
ceedings, but leaves it to tho General Term to
determine whether Mr.. Van wyck or Mr..
Smythe shall be heard. In concluding sSa Judge
ment the Court would pause before grxAkinR .
divorce If such state OF facts exists In this
were brought to its attention. and 1t may be that
the General Term will deem it its duty to consider
whether defendant who makes oath that he is not
guilty OF the adultery charged upon him. who has
never had opportunity or trying the issue in tho
aud who avails himself OF his right to appeal
from the judgment pronounced against him without
his having been heard. ought to bo permitted to
mako bargain with the plaintiff by which .
divorce. which. If his oath be true. ought not to
have been granted. shall be allowed to stand. The
plaintiff suffer injury from the presentation
Of this question to the General Torn.

The Loss Of the Yacht Antelope.

From the Chippewa County News we
CLEAN the following particulars in re.
gard to the loss of the steam yacht An
telope, mention of which made last
week: The boat had sought harbor
in bay, in or near Michipicoton island.
but the wind coming up on Saturday
night, rendered it impossible to remain
there. They therefore ran out, but be-
tore going very far the boat struck a reef
which for the sea and darkness had..not
been visible until.they were right upon it.
Here they remained, keeping the boat
free from water which came into it every
sea that washed over, the best they could
until Sunday, when the City OF Owen
Sound came along. She was signaled,
and attached line to the little craft, and
pulled her off the reef. She immediate
ly filled with water, either from leaks or
the sea, and went down in water l20 feet
deep. The line was still fast to her, and
was buoyed, so that it can be readily
found. 1t is supposed that by this the
boat can be raised and towed to shoal
water, where she can be recovered.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1879-07-05
Close of volume Nv.

With this issue of the TRIBUNE closes
volume four. Like many another infant
it embarked upon the sea of newspaper
life amid uncertainties. 1t has passed
successfully through the trials agd dam
gers incident to an intantile career and
now, after four years, still survives. Like
many another child it has had its trou-
bles, and it has only been by the most
skillful nursing, by all interested, that 1t
has not succumbed.
We congratulate ourselves that the
TRIBUNE is now an established fact. For
the generous support we have received,
on the part of many of our citizens, we
feel grateful, and hope we may continue
to merit their favors. Since the estab-
lishment of the paper our main effort
has been to work for the interests of
Northern Michigan In general and Che
boygan county in particular. That our
