New York World.

New York World.
The intense interest manifested in England in
the Crawford divorce proceedings, which has I'M
doubtedly resulted in running Sir Charles Dixie
as public man, is shared on this side of the At
lantic. Many Americans, however, are greatly
puzzled over the reports of the trial, as the pro-
cedure in divorce caaes in England is very pecul-
lar. Formerly there were no divorce courts in
the country. In order to secure the nullity Of a
marriage, suit for damages had to be brought
against the correspondent If this proved sue
cessful, Parliament was petitioned to grant di-
vorce Under this system gross abuses were
possible but Englishmen We're slow to consent
to a change.
Finally case arose which SO incensed the
public that mode of procedure became an
absolute necessity. A husband obtained YER
dict against young man who had been visitor
at his house, and Parliament was
petitioned to decree an absolute divorce.
During the tendency of this application
the wife, who had been condemned without a
hearing, made most extraordinary statement
in proof of her innocence. When put TO a test;
eminent physicians showed conclusively that the
woman had been the victim of conspiracy
which had been concoeted by her husband to get
rid OF her. This made it apparent how easy it
was to take advantage OF the law aud in 1856 the
Divorce Court was established.
It is in part remnant of the old Ecclesias.
teal Court, but several important statutory addi-
tons to the procedure have been made. 1t is
first necessary to secure divorce nisi. but the
divorce cannot be made absolute until three
months afterwards. Any person is at liberty to
petition the court for trial If they can pre-
sent evidence to justify it.
In the case in which Sir Charles Dixie has lust
been found guilty Donald Crawford sued for di
vorce from his wife, and Sir Charles was made

street, he was not to be reasoned with, and
imagined that there was no healing the wound
he had received. From that time on he was
not in condition to dispassionately consider
the situation. What may at first have been
but suspicion Of the remotest possibility of
wrong, may have gradually grown into what,
to his diseased mind, was something too ter
rible to bear. And all this may have come
out of absolutely nothing. It has been said
that he was aware of the attentions that
young Hoover was paying his wife and that
he, confident in her integrity, sanctioned it.
Then came the story of the gossips. tThere
must be some fire where there is so much
smoke" SO they argued in their contemplate
hearts, and where there was not even smoke"
they kindled fire that ended in a tragedy
that appals all who contemplate it. Who can
say that this is not wholly the work of the
busybodies that are to be found in every
community There is no town or city in the
world, perhaps, that is not absolutely cursed
with the presence of such persons. 1t is to
avoid the idle prattle of such as these
that it is necessary to exerercise a
care when no care would be re-
quired were it not for them. There
are those in the city of New Albany who
know that they have talked about Charles v
Hoover and the wife of Professor Strunk.
With what evidence or lack Of evidence of
anything that could be wrongly construed
they themselves now realize 1t is more than
likely that not one of them would have opened
his or her mouth had the bloody end been
visible from the outset The idler would have
thought before giving publicity to the
thoughts that suggested themselves to his
impure and diseased imagination. For all
that has been shown to the contrary, the man
who has been sent to his grave and the
woman who has been covered with shame that
she can never wholly shake off, were
as pure in their relation one with
the other as though they had never
seen each other 1t is to be hoped that this
may yet be demonstrated, for the fair fame of
those most intimately interested and for the
credit of humanity at large This done, it
would be salutary lesson to those who al
lowed their tongues to turn warm-hearted
gentleman to mailman and a murderer, and
to wreck one of the sweetest of families May
the truth, and all the truth, come out in the
trial that is to follow. And if it be so that the
man who has given his life and the woman
who is now in the depths Of humiliation and
shame shall be shown to have been blameless,
il were great pity that the harpies who are
morally responsible for the terrible tragedy
that has sickened all who are made familiar
with the details could not be held accessory
to the crime that has been committed.

what to do, but in few seconds, after let

submit to disguise. Some lamp black

face, neck, hands and arms were made as
black as the blacklist negroes. Then a

in the library and parlor, talking to

singing. He was good reader and
fine singer, and 1t was during this time,
when he was black rs the ace OF spades,
that we spoke our first words OF love, and
a pure, lasting love 1t was. Well, on the

house, searched the second time, but, of
course, with no more success. The Con-
federate had been previously instructed
how to conduct himself, and what to do at
the proper moment, but lucky dilemma
presented itself. The officers horse had
slipped and fallen, injurlng him so that
he was unit for service. My father
preferred the officer his carriage to ride
in to headquarters, where he wished to
make his report, and it was accepted.
Sam, the disguised Confederate, was de-
tailed as coachman. 1t was risky task,
because he was liable to be detected at
any moment, but with that bravery which
he always manifested, he assembled the
box, took the lines in his hand and drove
the horses from the barn to the residence
door. The officer went alone, leaving
his men to guard the house. After reach
ing the camp the injured officer went into

superior officer, the disguised Confederate
got down of the box and sauntered Off
