Police NOteSs

The police detectives were busily engaged yesterday in trying to find cut who broke into Joseph Kaiser's merchant tailoring estab. ment, No. 367 State street, early on Sunday morning, bzt at lasS accounts no clue had been obtained. The val1e of the goods taken was between $25O and $500, which was mostly composed of made up garments. MT. Kaiser thinks that if the police had been prompt in their attention to duty the robbery would not have occurred as he had 8 light burning at the front and rear of the store. It is very evident that lamps should be placed on or near the tracks through the entire cuts of the railroads in the city so that the police can have full view of the rear of the stores.

 PROVIDENCE, July 2.-During the session of the Common Council this evening MT. Clark of the Eighth ward succeeded in secur- ing action on his resolution directing the city treasurer to refuse to pay out money from the treasury for dinner on the Fourth of July for the members of the city council and their friends.

 NEW YORK, July 2.-An elopennent in Brooklyn has just come to light which oc- cured three weeks ago, but has been kept secret by the friends of the parties most in- terested. These are Major William J. Powell, a prominent Democratic politician. and the wife of George W. Frost. Mrs. Frost had been married 13 years and had one child-a little boy, Powell was an invited guest ct the mansion of Mir. and Mrs. FEost, and his sister is the wife of Mrs Frost's brother. Mir. and Mrs. Frost lived happily together and Powell began to pay frequent v1sits to their homo. He had 8 key and opened the door for himself when Mir. Frost was at his business place and the boy was at school Hearing of these frequent visits MT. Frost remonstrated with his wife. She grew an gry, then sulky, protesting that Powell called only as a friend of the family. On coming home on Wednesday, June 13, Mr. Frost found that his wife had gone away taking with her her clothing and jewelry. They were traced to hotel Powell claims that she suffered cruel treatment, but all there is to it, apparently, is Mrs. Frost's complaint that her husband would not take her to the theater, he being prominent Methodist. Powell eloped many years ago with g Miss Goddard Mr. Frost has begun proceedings for divorce.

ensued upon the question of admitting ve1s bal evidence as to the doings of the trustees and superintendent, as board, in reference to the disposition of bodies, but MT. Brown withdrew the question. A record of the trustees' meeting, dated March, 1883, was admitted, and letter to State Board of Health read. It states that the disposal of dead bodies was placed in the hands of Thomas J. Marsh, jr., in whose integrity the inspectors had full confidence. From Oc- tober 19, 1873, to October l, 1882, there were delivered to medical colleges 594 adult and 36 children's bodies. The whole amount paid the colleges for services connected with this was $S, ,817, of which $5, ,914 went to the Meanings for transportation, $514 to T. J. Hall for assistance and $1, 799 to Thomas J. Marsh for personal oversight.
 Mir. Nourse, former trustee, on cross examination testified that the report of the trustee of March 22, 1883, included first 8 written report made by Thomas J. Marsh, ir. At previous times Marsh had submitted his books and vouchers for inspection. The books on which were recorded bodies sent to medical colleges were never asked for.
 At this point the Governor made request for these books and MT. Brown stated that by his advice Marsh would never produce them, if he has them, because making public the names of those sent to the dissecting ta- ble would be an outrage on public feeling. By unanimous vote Marsh was ordered to produce the books and memoranda. Ad- journed-
