NICkeRSON,s WIVES.
THE LEGAL FIGHT FOR THE POSSESSION OF
HIS PROPERTY.


HIS PROPERTY.
WASHINGTON, July I'm the Equity
Court the caes Cf Emma G. d. Nickerson
against Maj. A. H. Nickerson, Lena Dill r
Carter Nickerson and VIM. B. Matthews,
came on for hearing before Justice James.
The suit was brought for the appointment Of
a receiver to take the rents of The house on
Dupont Circle, and an injunction to enjoin
the sale or further disposition of the prop
erty pending the hearing of the bill. A tenn
porsry restraining order had been icaned,
and the motion was whether this should be
dissolved or made perpstual. In answer to
the original bill, Mrs. Lena Diller Carter
Nickerson put in a voluminous answer, ac-
companied by supporting afidavits. She ab-
solutely denies the charge of adultery, and
claims to have suffered by Nickerson's de-
ceit more than the original Mrs. Nickersop.
The Dupont Circle house, decided her by
Nickerson, she considers legally her own, for
she AYERS that when the property was given
to her the first Mrp. Nickerson was the law
full wife of lhe major. The case was ad.
iourned until Monday.

THE MATTER.

THE MATTER.
WASHINGTON, July THE Criminal Cour,
to-day heard argument in the Hitz case, in
volving the point that will affect the pending
csse against Ex-senator Kellogg, which b sd
been postponed in order to allow of its dis
position. As in the Kellogg case, pleas of
abatement had been fled in the Hitz ca.e,
but they are bssed upon Numerically oppo
site grounds, SO that if the Court should de-
eide in favor OF the government in the Hiiz
case, and hold the point to be material, it
might result in the failure of the indictment
in Kellogg's case. The point ia question is
whether the Court committed an error in
filling vacancies in the grand jury that re-
turned indictments in these cases from the
box, instead Of summoning talesmen. After
/ hesring long argument, Judge Wylie re-
served his decision until Saturday next
