In consequence OF the unusual de-
uland for transportation facilities over
the system Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road from New York on the occasion Of
the funeral obsequies Of the late Gen.
eral Grant, it was d, emed advisable to
annul the regular Saturday night 50
excursion to the seashore. AS the sue
cess of these excursions seems assured,
filling a want long felt by the Washing
ton public, the company announce the
third of these excursions on Saturday
night, the 18th instant, at the low rate
OF 50 for the round trip. In order 10
provide for the accommodation of ladies,
arrangements have been made to set
aside a number of Eastlake coaches eX-
clusively for their use. An agent OF
the company will accompany the eX-
cursion train and look after the COM
forts OF the eXcursionists. Parties de.
string it, and being of sufficient mum
bers to Justify it, will be provided with
coach for their use. The special train
will leave the B. e. p. station promptly

Time softened Her Heart.

Lucy Koran, pretty young woman,
dressed in a handsome sky-blue silk
dress and an exquisite poke bonnet.
occupied a seat on the front bench at
the Police Court to. day. A good look
ing young man, named Joseph III.
Koran, was called up and charged with
assaulting and threatening to kill the
young lady, who stated that the de-
PENDANT was her husband. The wit
ness testified reluctantly and said she
didn't want him pul ished now, because
he had promised to never do SO again.
She was compelled to state the facts,
and said he struck her on the head and
threatened to kill her. Judge Mills
gave the youthful husband some good
advice and released him on u nominal
fine and his personal bonds to not re-
peat the oifense.

establishing NnrdeIlo's Guii,

Nardello, the Italian murderer, still
claims that he had two accomplices in
the murder of Carmine Rotunno. De-
tective Raft states that the prisoner Is a
deep scheming fellow. His scheme to
get out of the scrapo was to make the
authorities believe that Gesimente and
Abondante were guilty and then turn
states evidence against them for his
own immunity. These men are also
damaging witnesses against him. De-
tective Raft has also discovered that he
gave bluod-stained $40 bill to a
woman the next day after the murder.
No stock is taken in the story of the
prisoner about accomplices.

Mrs. POrZLER,s ANSWER.
She LEFT the city 90 Escape Her
Husbands Cruelty

In the case Of George NJ. Potzler,
who petitioncd for divorce from his
wife, Catherine Potzler, charging her
with desertlon aud adultery, Mrs.
Potzler, through her attorney, Mr.. II.
c. Murdoch, has made answer and
filed Il oross.blll. She admits going to
Pensacola, Fla, but denies committing
adultery, while there, with man
named Alexander. She alleges that for
long time previous to her going away
her husband treated her with extreme
cruelty and contempt, using Indecent,
gross and insulting words to her,i in the
presence Of her children and their en-
ploycs, beating her with his fists and
knocking her teeth out, and otherwise
abusing her with violence, until she
was afraid TO live with him, and left
about March n last and went to live
with her son and wife.
The former was a private In the
Second u. $. Artillery, which was
ordered to Pensacola, aud as she was
glad to escape from her husbands
cruelty she went with them, but re-
manned only several days having re-.
ceived letter from her husband to
return, which she did. The cross-b bill
is almost repetition Of the answer,
excepting that she AYERS that on the
18th of March last, after she had left
her husband, and since this divorce suit
was instituted, he has constantly sent
the children and others to her, asking
her TO stand and make no answer TO
his charge OF adultery, thus asking her
to allow him to brand her as public
prostitute. She asks for divorce,
counsel fees, and maintenance.

the Congo basin has been variously esti-

Iowa's Liquor law is sustained by the
Supreme Court of the State, and thus a
tendency is shown to deal firmly with
this evil. By this law now made sure by
its enforcement, not only the sale of in
toxicants is punishable, but all ofenses
against the good order of society caused
by such sale are held against the vendor
IS ~nuisances, and are punishable like any
other crimes against the community.
The prohibition sentiment 10 advancing.
Iowa Republicans. who claim to be good
politicians, say that it is doubtful how
that State goes next Fall on account Of
Prohibition. The course Of the Repub-
lican leaders has got the party on the
losing side in the State, and should it 20
Democratic it will be on that account
purely and not national politics. In.
ternal quarrels also have hurt the Re-
publicans, and altogether the party there
is in . bad way.
