Turner's Entertainment.

The entertainment given under the auspi-
ces of the Turner'S, at their hall on Com
merce street Sunday night was a marked
success. The enclosure in front of the hall
was brilliantly illuminated with torches, and
was fitted up with seats and tables, around
which sat groups Of people, gaily chatting
and drinking beer. Over the entrance to the
hall was a transparency throwing into bold
re ief the word "Welcome." In the center
of the hall was a large American flag sus-
pended from one of the posts.
Before the gymnsstic performance began
there was dancing. Professor Beckman's
band discoursed sweet music for the dancers.
At ten o'clock the stage curtain was raised,
revealing the Turner'S, dressed in their tights,
and the bar on which they performed SO
well. Their acting WAS good, and many very
difficult feats were accomplished with ease
and grace. Their acting was far better than
that seen in many shows,and elected frequent
applause. They acquitted themselves well.
The performance was followed by tableaux,
after which the dance was resumed and con-
tinued until two o'clock the next morning.

The divorce suit mania has sprung up
again it seems. The first two that have been
brought in long time we're filed in the.
office of the district court yesterday.
In. Cook fled q petition for divorce from
his wife, Salle Cook, now resident OF Atlas
cosa county, whom he alleges ne married on
the 18th day of February, 1877, in Gonzales
county. After only three months marriage
she left him, vowipg that she would live with
him no longer During the time they lived
together she on several occs-
sions, with the use Of her tongue,
drove him from his home. Where
fore he prays that the bonds of matrimony be
dissolved.
Mrs. Bridget Phelan filed petition pray
ing for divorce from her husband, William
thelan. She alleges that she was legally
married to him in 1860, ia the city Of st.
Louis, and that they removed to this state IN
1878. The fruits Of their. marriage are nine
children, four of whom are dead.
Three oftheir surrounding children, are two
sons aged fourteen and twenty years, and
daughter, eighteen years, cripples for life.
That about six months ago he began to i'll
treat her and that one cold night during last
January he drove her from her
home, and she was compelled to seek shelter
under the roof of a stranger. She AYERS
that he threatened to shoot her unless she
left, and that he repeated it again on the
night of the 7th of June, and that since that
time he has failed aud refused to provide for
her and that she is now in destitute circum-
stances; she has no separate property, but
that her husband is in possession of COM
munity property amounting to $40, 600, and
she prays the court that an order be issued
restraining him from disposng Of said prop
erty, that he be required to pay into court
$50 per month for her support, and that the
custody of the children be awarded her, and
that he be required to pay the further sum
of $500 into court for the prosecution of the
suit, and attorneys fees. The petition prays
that the bonds Of matrimony BIO dissolved,
and that there may be division of the COM
munity property.

Sad Accident.

Yesterday morning sad accident betel q
little six.year,od son OF Mr.. VAIL. The
little fellow was riding on the Main street
car line with his mother, and it seems he
went out on the front platform with the dri-
yer, who put him back into the car and re-
marked to Mrs. Wohl that it was dangerous
for the boy to stand on the platform, as he
might get hurt. The boy soon came out
again, however, and losing his balHnce fell
from the steps, the driver put on the brakes,
but was unable to stop the car in time, and
one of the wheels ran over the boys right
arm from the elbow down, splitting open the
flesh, but not breaking any bones. He re-
ceved medical attention, and is not danger
ously hurt,

New York, July l0.-A special from st.
Johns, n. F., says the United States steamer
Alliance arrived here this morning. The AL
lance left St. Pierre on the 22d ult, and
proceeded in the direction of Grand Banks.
During the interval, which was marked by
auspicious weather, the work of surveying
and making numerous shoals in the
neighoorhood of Virgin Rocks and
the eastern reefs were energeticslly
carried on, and has terminated in the result
of reconstructing the old chart of the vast
system of shoals southeast Of the Newfound-
land coast The labors Of the Kparsage and
Vandalia over the same track will be most
effectively supplemented by the Alliance
and scientific location given to
shoals and rocks along the grand banks that
hitherto were but vsguely and only approxi-
mately known. The Alliance will recoal and
reft at ST. Johns, and proceed to complete
the work of the survey.

A New Trunk Road.

Buffalo, N. Y, July l0.-It is currently
reported that the Buffalo & Southwestern
Railroad company has leased the New York,
Lake Erie and Western Railroad company
for term of so years. The par.
ticulars of the lease have
not been made public but will
in the course of few days. By this
arrangement connection will be made at
jamestown with the Atlantic & Great
Western, by narrow gauge of the latter
road. If desired, by this connection through
trains can be run between this city and
Cincinnati, st. Louis and Chicago, thereby
forming another direct trunk line west. The
leasing Of the road by the Erie will doubtless
add mentally to the business interest of this
CITY.
