REsCUlNG A TWO HUNDRED FOUNDER
And Being Remembered in a Will for
the Kindly Act.


NEW YoRK, October l3.-The Sun to-day
prints the following story: Among the
bequtsts, aggregatiDg $4,000 made by the
late James d. Stryker, of Lambertville,
y. j., whose will has just been filed for
probate, was one of $3.50 to Conrad \. Jor-
dan, Of this ci y, treasurer of the New
York, Ontario & Western Railroad Com
parry, and for many years cashier of the
Third National Bank. There is history
attached to this bequest. Years ago Mr..
Jordan was clerk in the Hanover National
Bank of this city. On his way home over
the COur,laud street ferry one
Bitter Night In December,
he saw lady attempt to jump back from
the departing ferry boat She had boarded
Ike boat in advance OF the gentleman to
whom she was engaged, and whom she sub
seQuently married, and finding that be
could not catch the boat she attempted To
return TO him. She fell into the water, and
dissI peared beneath the mass of broken ice
that filled the slip. Mr.. Jordan jumped in
after her and held her above the freezing
water until both were nhshed out. The
risk Of the venture was augmented by the
fact that the lady weighed POO pounds. She
was a daughter of the late Mr.. Stryker.
Mr.. 10 dsn
R,fIsed 20 Tell His Name,
but Mr.. Srryker discovered it after pro-
tracted inquiries, and his daughter sent
Mr.. Jordan 800. Mr.. Jordan returned it
with a note saying, in substance, that he
old not save persons from death for a con-
sideration. In place of the bill dozen
bottles Of currant wine were forwarded to
MIR. Jordan by Miss Stryker, with the as
surauce that she made it herself. Once a
year until his death Mr.. Stryk ker called
upon Mr.. Jordan to remind that gentle
man OF his gratitude. The amount that
Mr. Jordan receives under the will he will
invest iu a souvenir of the event. He is a
wealthy man.

lation on
The Subject of Divorce"
The Lssgue seeks TO unite all good citi,
zens who would by investigation, pubIica
tiOn of documents and addresses, aud bv
public meetings, enlighten the puolic on
the evils of divorce and secure improved
legislation on the subject. The officers of
the League are: President, Bishop Pad
dock; Vice President, Rev. Alvah Hovey,
D. D., LII. D.; Treasurer, w. G. Ben-dict,
of Boston, Mass. Corresponding Serre.
taries, Samuel w. Dixie, of Royalter. Vt,
and Rev. F. B. Makepeace, Of Andoyer,
Mass.
The statistics show that New England
granted 2,ll3 divorces in the year 1873;
Maine 5S7 in 1880; Rhode Island 27l, and
New Hampshire in 1882, 3l4. In the three
latter states there has been OF late
One Divorce 10 Every Ten Marriages.
In four of the New England States, where
726 divorces were granted in 1850 there
were 100 in 1870 and l, 439 IN 1873. Phila-
delphia reported l0l in 1862, 2l5 In 1872,
All in 1882. The rates OF divorces 10 mar
riages in Ohio rose from to 26 in 1855 to
to II in 1881. In Minnesota the two most
populous counties increased their divorces
in ten years fifty per cent faster than their
marriages.. The ratio to marriages m Chi
cago, Louisville, Connecticut and twenty
four counties in Michigan is about to l3.
In San Francisco and in counties OF num-
ber of States it has been tot.
The League holds that
The Increase OF Divorces
is directly traceable TO lax divorce laws and
loose court practice under them. Changes
made in the divorce laws show that the
number OF divorces in those States has in
creased or diminished as the legal facilities
for obtaining them have been enlarged or
restricted in them.

PIrrTDrRGH, October 13.--Matters con-
nected with the coke trade are exciting in
terest. Three firms. it is said, are aiming
to control the product Of the ConnellsviIle
region, while the railroads entering the
region are enjoying dead lock over an at.
tsmpt TO form new pool. President
Quincy, OF the Pittsburgh, McKeesport and
Youghiogheny Railroad, say he is not pre-
pared to express an opinion as to whether
or not
A Pool Will be Formed.
Another meeting will take place soon,
when il will probably be decided whether
Vanderbilt will have to 20 il alone or enter
the pool. The Vanderbilt line at present
reaches exclusively only two per cent. OF
all the ovens in the region, yet its per-
centage demands in the pool are said to he
so exhorbitsnt as to make coke men be-
lieve its foothold in the region will be
greatly increased within very short
time.
An operator yesterday threw some light
upon the movement. lie attributes the
pool difficulties to an attempt TO stand
aTdize" the region on the part OF three
firms and then Gictate terms TO the rail.

owned ,O26 ovens and was interested in
GCS more, total OF 1854 ovens. J. N.
Scboonmaker controls o75 and Rafferty, Il
Dornelly ss6 ovens. These three firms are
interested together in certain plants and
the brick company, by its recent purchases,
secured the control OF 1863 more owns
giving il total holdings now OF 3,lOi ovens.
Thus these three firms control Bi ovens
ont of a total OF 9.3n9 in the region on
March |, Twelve furnace and iron com.
panies have 2lg7 ovens, and consume their
own product. which leaves them out ss
competitors in the market. Deducting the
lumber Of idle furnaces that the three
firms men toned control, and what ls man
ufsclured by consumers only l,9o6 ovens
Remain ~ Competitors
for the three firms. This is mereIya drop
in the bucket when it comes TO MAXIM
prices, and as options sre held upon a
goodly number Of these | so ovens. which
are owned by small operators, their SAL
will still more greatly decrease the NUMBER
of small competitors. This means that the
small operators will be frozen out ot the
business and the price OF coke made TO suit
the convenience Uf the sci lera. Andrew
Carnegie owned one fourth interest IN the
Frick Com psny, and will be enabled to buy
coke for the Edgar Thompson Bessemer
Works at prices that will give him
Control of the Rail Market
This control OF the business, it is asserted,
is being worked in the interest OF the
Vanderbilts, and has made them demand
20 large a percentage Of the coke traffic
that the other raIlrosd companies are
paralyzed at their audacity.

Rape Case-KeView OF the charge.

Special to The Register.
NoUNpsv LIE, October 13.-The celeb a'ed
suit of Grandstaff VS.. Goudy, heretofore
noticed in the REGISTER, came mp for hear
ing on Thursday afternoon and terminated
on Friday evening, by verdict for Goudy
of mot guilty" II will be remembe red
that Goudy was indicted for assault with
intent to rape, upon Grandstaf's wife,
Goudy is poItly gent and in his S)th year
of age, and is in good circumstances while
Mrs Grandstaff is we'll on 10 40 years OF
age and not altogether prepo sing II ap-
reaiknce, or of that type of u Id caicu-
lated to excite the commission o the o.
tense charged. Her testimony was to the
effect that
The Night
OF the alleged commission of the crime her
husband and daughter were absent in
Netzel county, and that she was awakened
during the night by some one pulling at
her shoulder, and discovered it 10 be old
man Goudy. She resisted him in his at
tempts to get in bed with her and escaped
from him to another room, when at this
very opportune moment her husband aud
daughter arrived. Goudy was found by
the husband in very scsnt attire, and was
unable to explain to his satisfaction the
occasion Of bis visit. Goudy in his testi-
mony did not deny being there, but said he
went with the expectation Of finding out
who il was that had taken
some Money
from Mr. Turner, Of that neighborhood;
he thought Grandstaff had the money and
his wife would tell him. He further said
that Grandstaff demanded OF him the sum
of 81, 900 or deed for ten acres OF ground
as pay for his nights visits and his silence.
Much of the testimony was unfit for pub
lication, and quite uncomplimentary TO
both parties. Criswell and MCCarriher were
the complainant's attorneys, while J. L.
Parkinson appeared for the defendant. A
motion has been made for new trial, and
il is very probable that such will be granted.

To the Editor Of the Eagls:
In mentioning the burial of Thomas NJ.

ed. Allow me to brighten them by added
touches, that the sunshine knowledge of
good deeds) may blend with the shadows,
(the sad features) thus making the picture
more pleasing and complete. He was not
brought here for the purpose Of burial, but
for medical treatment, and was Frustrated
the day following his arrival at the home
Of d. X. Allen, where he received the best
Of care during an illness Of nearly two
weeks. Mrs. Allen, feeling 10th to solicit
assistance, gave her entire attention to his
wants and needs. Her kindness of heart
prompted such faithful service As 10 elicit
frequent expressions of gratitude and ap-
probation from her patient, and also the
remark that he believed the haI Of Provi-
dence led him to this home, where ready
hands and faces expressive Of sympathy
and interest, made less sad the thought Of
dying among strangers. How refreshing
to find these self, and world forgetting good
Samaritans along LIES way. Rev. J. b.
Royal, father of the deceased, is In the city
at this writing, and will take his two orphan
granddaughters TO his home Mt Vermont,

of your paper, to tender his thanks to all
who rendered service, and especially to
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen, and to Mr.. c. P.Shaier
in whose care the children were placed by
their father before coming to the city. He
has kindly cared for them and given aid in
various ways, and also to Garfield Post Of
this city, who conducted the burial service
over the remains OF stranger comrade,
and mingled their tears with the fatherless
