: A singular VIII Case.

Boston, November IA singular will
case, involving considerable money and sev-
ersl people well known 10 this community,
came up to-day in the Supreme Court. 1t
was hearing on an appeal from the decree
of the probate judge allowing the will of
Mrs. Mary NJ. Perkins, the wife of Ezra G.
P,rkns. She was formerly notorious in this
city under the name of Mrs. Hardy, the
spirituslisliG medium, and whose house, No.
Concord Square, was one of the noted
''spook roosts" in the city, and the scene of
several exposures of the tricks of the me-
dams I he story, as told TO Judge Allen by

former husband of Mrs. Perkins, is substan-
TALLY as folloVsj
o., April s, 1869, John Hardy and Mary
II. Smith were united in marriage, and
lived together until about May IL, 1877 /;
that early in April, 1877, Mrs. Hardy in-
formed her husband that she desired 10 sep
Arste from him and obtain a divorce, in
order that she might marry Ezra G. Per-
kinsj that Mr.. Hardy was unwilling TO assent
10 the proposition, but at last, feeling COM
PEELED by force OF circumstances, did consent
TO certain proceedings being taken TO enable
Mrs. Hardy TO obtain a divorce. AT this
time they had accumulated considerable
amount OF properly, and lived together at
No. 4 Concord SqusFe, Mrs. Hardy being

and Mr.. Hardy pursued the business of a
painter, the earnings of both being allowed
TO ACCUMULATE for their joint bent tit.
IT was Gnaily agreed that she might APP
ply for and obtain div9rce, and to allow
this plan TO be carried out Mr.. Hardy con-
scented TO pul himself in position TO allow
evidence OF adultery 10 be presented against
him, although he was not guilty OF that
odense, The consideration on the part OF
Mr. Hardy was 5000, which was paid him,
and accordingly Mr.. Hardy nade spplica-
ton to the Probate Court of Salt Lake, in
Utah, and on the oath OF April divorce
was granted to her. The marriage with Ar,
Perkins then took place, and it is claimed
that Mr.. Perkins was cognizant of all the
fraud which was perpetratea upon the court
in Utah, which, it is claimed, had no iuris-
dic.ion over the parties or the cause.
On the other hand, counsel for thu estate
Of Mr.. Perkins contend that Mr.. Hardy con-
scented in writing 10 the divorce, and that,
therefore, he is barred in setting up the di-
yoToe az entitling him to a share in Mrs.
Perkinsls estate. The main point at issue is
clause in the will: 81 will leave 10 my
husband" etc, under which clause it is
CLAIMED that Hardy was her lawful husband
and il entitled TO the property. The case is
presented as a statement OF facts to be argued
before the Supreme bench on the questions OF
law.

ONLY four more working days before the
election. The work remaining to be done
must be done promptly. The public speak
ers and the newspapers have performed their
duties. They have served as the means to
an end, and that cad is to bring out the
voters. They have served a useful and neces-
zary purpose in furnishing figures, facts and
arguments upon the great iseues OF the day.
But there is now other work more important
than making speeches and reading newspa-
Pers, and that is TO bring out full vote and
TO prevent those frsuds which HubbeI's cor
ruption fund is SO we'll calculated to inspire.
A full vote is all that il necessary for the
Bate Democrats TO win glorious victory.
The plans for getting out a full vote must be
mstured and carried out. 1t is not prudent
to neglect any means of victory.

SOMETHING OF A SENSATION.
LOGAN AND BLAINE SAID TO BE woRKIs


WAsHIEGToE, November 1.-The latest
political sensation comes from Chicago, in a
dispatch to the New York Herald, 10 the
effect that Senator Logan has cut loose from
President Arthur's interest, and is hsnd-in
glove with Blaine in the race for 1884. The
general terms are that the one whose strength
is the greater, and whose chance appears at
the proper time the better, shall have all the
aid and comfort the other can furnish. If
Blaine secures the nomination for president,
Logan will accept the second place. If Lo-
gan wins, Blaine will be the head of the
Cabinet and bide his time
This inform alton is very important, if
true; and, while it may be, there are no
indications hereabout which confirm it.
Logan is a machine politician, and is willing
to serve any Ii aster who serves Logan. 1t ia
a MISTER of history that he has secured
more personal appointments from President
Arthur than any one in public life. Last
winter there was vacancy in the pay corps
of the army. The pressure for the place
was tremendous, and influences were at work
to secure the vacancy for The son of a per.
sonal frieud of the President. In spite of
all other Republicans, Logan succeeded in
having his son-in-law appointed. He is one
of the few who have an open sesame to the
White House after 10 O'Clock at night, when
the presidential legs said to hs under a
small mahogany table, and when a small
game is going on with the ceiling fer limit.
There are other reagons, however, which
give the ruuor the irSol a plausib;i;.v II.

sonal interest, either Logan or Kasson man
aged the floor. The Republican majority in
Congress in Ihose days usually followed
soiidly the bellwetherP, and Logan was the
recognized one on the floor. Logan has a
very ambitious wife. She is good deal bet

humiliation of the administration, has in
duced the senator TO enter into an offensive
and defensive alliance with Blaine
1he eltms ut of doubt touching the rumor
ls that Logan could hardly add strength 10
Blaine, and for this reason BIaine's friends
will be slow TO believe it. Logan has no ma
tional strength. Outside of Illinois he has
no following ct ali. In Illinois it is all be
can do to hold his own. He secured the
senatorship only by scratch, and if he
were now a candidate TO succeed himself il
is doubtful if he could win. If Blaine finds
