Suit Against the District.

James Conlon and others, by their next
friend, Margaret Conlon, and through their
attorney, Mr.. Frank I. Browning, to-day
entered suit against the District of Column
bia, claiming $1,000 damages. The plaintiffs
represent that they are the lawful owners
of certain real estate in square north of
square 931, on Boundary and l. streets
northeast, improved by three
story house, and charge that on
August 12, 1882, the defendant, while
laying brick sewer on Boundary street
entered upon the property of the COM
plainants, trampled down the herbage dug
up the earth to a depth of twenty feet along
the sides and under the brick front Of the
house, and on April l, 1883, on account of
the digging the front Of the house fell
down and was destroyed. In consequence
the complainants have been deprived of
the premises and a place of shelter and
claim damages,

Another Suit For Divorcc.

Messrs. A. G. Richards and o. S. B. Wall,
as solicitors for Katharine Voegele, to-day
filed petition for divorce from her hus-
band, Avis Voegele. They were married
in this city January 8, 1882, and lived to-
gether until April 6, 1883, except at certain
intermediate times. She charges that on
March 10, 1852, he beat her cruelty, thrust
her out of the house into tho public street
and put;her health in jeopardy. On the 9TH
of May and at divers other times subse-
quently she charges that while in state of
intoxication he armed himself with pistol
and attempted to shoot imaginary OBJ
jects, which he thought that he
saw in the house, and so recklessly did he
flourish the pistol that the complainant,
with her children by q former husband, was
compelled to seek safety in flight, until the
drunken hallucination passed away. He
repeatedly made threats of doing her bodily
harm, and she was compelled, on April g.,
1883, to have him put under bonds to keep
the peace. She further complains that her
husband has contributed little or nothing to
her support, but has led life of debauchery
and idlenesn.

lice official from Virginia was constable

Norfolk us enormously published in morn :
ing paper. The missing man is Lieutenant

Major Dye and the Georgetown police for
some days and then disappeared. A week

the police have been looking for him since.
The last seen of the missing man was on

a Novel Journey to the Mountains.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore San says that party of eleven, six
gentlemen and five ladies, belonging in
this city, are making preparations for a.
tour of six weeks In the mountains Of Vir-l
ginia. They will walk all the way, and
will start about July l. They first visit
Warrenton. They will carry two tents,
one for the ladies and one for the GENTLE
men. Four of the ladies are single, and
will be in charge Of a married lady who
will accompany them. They will have one
wagon to carry their tents, luggage, provi-
sions, &C., the party taking turns
at driving. They will not carry any
servants, but will do all their own
work. One of the gentlemen is a
physician, and will have charge of the lay
ing out of their camp. Another, q we'll
known artist, will act as steward. The
ladies will take turns at cooking. They
will travel mostly in the early morning
and evening hours, but never expect to 20
more than twenty miles in any one day.
Almost every item of cost has been aticipa-
ted and they find that the entire expense
of each will not be more than it would be
for one week at summer hotel, counting
the expense of getting to it and back. 1t
is not, however, to save expenses that the
party propose to walk. They prefer that
mode Of travel, with the incidental enjoy
ments of camping out aud Bohemianizing
generally.

Madame Tapp's Case.

Lizzie Cleary, alias Madame Tapp, was
charged with keeping disorderly house on
Maryland avenue, which was raided last
evening. The defense were not ready for
the hearing, and asked that continuance
be granted and the defendant released on
personal bonds. Judge Smell said " 1
cannot accept her personal bonds, as she
was the first prisoner ever brought before
me, and has turned up at intervals ever
since" The case was continued for hear
ing and bonds fixed at 500.

The currents in which Events Run.

Much attention has been given OF late years
10 the currents In which events run. II has
been noticed that events OF the same class do
not occur at Isolated times, but are sure to
follow each other In rapid succession. For
instance, some thirty or forty persons day
or two ago went to d. Robinson CO.'S, 909
Pennsylvania avenue northwest, and bought
a suit OF those splendid boys clothes kept
only by them, and now the whole town Is run
ming there to buy their boys clothes just be-
cause they keep the best.

a New but Interesting Point.

Tho quaint and ancient burg of Upper
Marlboro, Nd, was yesterday tho scene Of
most interesting discussion before the
Orphans Court, which court Is presided
over by three judges.
It appears that. in 1867 one Levi CAN'T,
colored, q master carpenter, died intestate (;
that he had contracted with others and
managed his own affairs for years. The
Orphans Court of Prince Georges County
appointed an administrator, who was prop
erly bonded. The said administrator never
accounted, hence these proceedings. In
answer TO a summons to so account he yes
tcrday, through his attorney, Hon. George
Merrick, put in an answer to the effect that
the said Levi CAN'T, at the time of his
death, was n slave, and could not hold
property. This proposition brought on q
long heated debate between Mr.. MerriclS
and A. II. Jackson, esq, of Washington,
attorney for the heirs Of deceased, Mr.. j..
insisting that as defendant had pleaded
that CAN'T was a slave at date Of death
1t devolved upon him to prove that fact !;
that the court by appointing an admins
traitor had recognized the right Of CAN'T to
hold property, and that in no event could
he hold the assets of the estate, but must
account, and that If there were no heirs on
either side entitled to the estate it es-
cheated to the State Of Maryland and that
the action of the Probate Court rendered
the case res adjudicatd. The courtroom was
filled with deeply-interested audience,
and frequently expressed sympathy with
the contending attorneys. After hours
spent in this debate, the court adjourned
the case to August, when final hearing
may be expected.

 Mr. Anthony Trollope had the singular faculty of appealing at once to the widest and the incest circle of readers he had the keenest perception and intellect and he had with these gifts the power of so clothing his thought and penetration in words that could be understood by the general reader while they had also an instinctive revelation of life which delighted the most fastidious critic. He was at once, in word, universal and partlc. ular, both as an author and as man. His sympathies and his genius were wide and close He had studied mankind in 30 broad spirit and with so piercing gaze that, on one hand, he never failed in giving pleasure to the ambitious reader or the ordinary &C., quaintance on the other, in providing some nice point for the student of fiction, or giving some special word of counsel or sympathy to the friend. In his fiction, as in his private relations, he presented 8 combination which is rare, indeed, and valuable, not only on &C., count of it's rarity. He was, in the best sense of the word, 8 masculine man and Wr1- | ter and yet he knew more of the feminine mind and nature than any author of his gen. eration. All novel readers are well acqualnt- ed with the finely touched scenes between | women alone to be found in profuslon ln his ! novels and which were once the occasion or | question to him by one who was sitting next to hiro at dinner: s'Mr Trollope, how do you know what we women say to each other when we get alone in our rooms (! l The question conveys In sncclnct way Au1A sense of the extraordinary insight MT. Trol- Iope had into the working of the feminine as | we'll as of the masculine mind. His men, whether they were heroic Cthey were seldom in the conventional sense) or commonplace, or mean, or scoundrelly, or mixture of all, were always real living men. His women, | whether they were sweet and tender, or harsh and malicious, or innocent, or design. ing, were real living women and he could make his men talk to his women, or his men to his men, or his women to his women, with equal naturalness.
