WAsHIsaIoN, Nov. 9.-HsarinQ of
the case Of Dickson, star route Juror,
IL dxed for Tuesday.
The Attorney General says the in
crease Of the capital stOck Of the Mo-
tnal Union was not justified by law, and
directly violates the statutes. Il il fair
TO infer that Moore d Co. arranged with
i've directors for the increase in order
to receive far greater amount of stock,
OF nominal but fictitious value, for
which no other consideration was ever
given. To the whole stock Of the Com
pany, the first 6000 shares being surren-
dered as invalid, as issued under a void
increase. which affects every share is
sued to nobody, or vitality %, and the
issue il also hollow and substantially
being usurpati0n Of the franchises
given in the State, and not merely a
technical violation of Law. Action will
be brought under q bond Of the
Directors for vacation of the charter,
asking that the property be sold or
transferred to reconstructed company
Or successor, and the property be CON
structed legally the proceeds to be di-
vided among the creditors and other
beneficiaries.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 9.-Last night Frank
I. Inglehardt, highly connected young
man, left house Of assignation vith:a
woman closely veiled, when Rush Leyis
and companion, who had been lying in
wait, fired at Inglehardt, only slightly
wounding him. Lewis escaped. 1t is
supposed that the woman was the wife
OF Lewis. Much scandal WAS caused.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis have separated TO-
day, be taking the only child. Divorce
proceedings have begun.
A Post dispatch says: Mrs. Tevis is
q lady we'll known in st. Louis socie3y,
niece of Gen. Sherman, Commander
in-Chief Of the Army, and also a niece
Of the late Judge Samuel r. Reber. Her
father, Col. Reese, is an officer in the
regular army, but is at present in st.
Louis. The lady is quite young and
very attractive, and is of the order best
described as red blonde" and her fig
ure is handsome and graceful. She
does not look more than about twenty,
but is twenty-sevon. and has been
charging the center of st. Louis society
very briskly for several years. About
four years ago she vas married to Mr..
Tevis, who was lately merchant in the
city. but now connected with an extern
sive dryeoods house. He is the son Of
John G. Teyis, an old and respected citi-
zen af st. Louis, and is relative of the
California Tevis. Everyone who knew
them supposed their home was very
happy, but for some time there has been
a ooldness between them, growing out
OF an anonymous letter received by tho
husband. This was explained and Mr..
Tevis seemed satisfied. That deception
WAS used there can be no doub}, for
only few days after the event de-
scribed above took place the shot was
fired. Tevis was taken away by his de-
tective friend, and the lady was sup
ported by Inglehart, until they stopped
q passing carriage and were driven to
lnglehart's apartments. From there
Mra. Tevis went to her father, not dar-
ing to 60 home. The scene between
them during her recital of the affair is
said to have boon painful in the ex-
treme.
Oh Give TO n Reform, ReFern!
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-It will be the
policy of some of the Republican men,
bers Of the Appropriations Committee
to cut down every estimate to the lowest
point, and give tho Dem ocrats enough
retrenchment. There will be strenuous
opposition TO 100000 being applied
for the purpose Of compl citing the mon
itors.
In fact the Republicans propose to
reduce the appropriations 80 low that
it will be impossible to ret.ench as they
did four years ago, without orippli nR
tho Government. Also to remove the
new revenue from tobacco, saving it
only on whiskey; enact broad, simple
Civil Service statute, and attach strin-
gent penalties to the assessments plan;
allow the Democrats to confuse them-
selves with the tariE, settle the elector-
al count question finally and then ad
jouru.
