Important neclslnn ABOUT nlxorrss

On the 23d OF April Mrs Theodore T.
Cook was granted decree of divorce, and
a week afterward she married W. ". Rich
ards. In 1882 Mrs. Richards died, bat Mr..
Richards was prevented from administer
ing upon her estate by the former husband,
on the ground that the divorce, not having
been entered as judgment, the decree bad
no binding effect upon him, and that the
marriage of his wife with Richards was
null and void. The matter was carried TO
the Supreme Court, which tribunal, in
April last, sustained the position taken by
Mr.. Cook, and declared that the marriage
of Mrs Cook with Richards was null and
void. Yesterday the Supreme Court re-
versed its former decision, holding hat
Richards was legally married to Mrs. Cook
and is therefore entitled to the property Of
his wife.
This decision IS very important matter
to the community, from the fact that bum
dreds Of divorces have been grained by our
Courts, the DEGREES signed By the JUICES,
but through negligence of attorneys CT of
public officers no judgments have been en-
tered. When the former decision of The
Supreme Court was given it created con-
sterna;ion in many households OF the city,
and as late as yesterday the divorces case of
George B. Tolman vs.. Eliza L. Tolman,
tried before Judge Wallace and taken un-
der advisement, is based on the ground mat
the divorce of Mrs. Tolmau from her fret
husband was illegal, because the Judgment
was never entered.-S f. Bulletin.

A Florida Trick.

Florida has no game law, but there are
numerous citizens of the peninsula who
are law unto themselves, and shoot game
only in what they consider TO be the
proper and legitimate season. Some of
these people lately adopted novel device
to force folks to conform to their own
standard in this respect. The sportsmen
of certain county met and endeavored 10
hit upon some plan 10 prevent quail from
being killed prior to October 18th, the ne
groes being the principal offenders. They
adopted the device OF arresting those who
were found with game in their possession
and severely reprimanding them aad
threatening dire punishment should they
repeat the offense. The plan worked y,ry
well until one of the prominent men Of lie
county and member of the State Il s-
lature began to shoot young quail 4ad

The Restriction Law Put Into Force ON
the Mexican Border.
Ell PAso (Tex), October 26th.-The sud
denly announced enforcement of the Chi
nese restriction law at El Paso has cast
great CONSERVATION over the Chinese colony
here. Heretofore the Chinese inhabitants
of El Paso have been in the habit of going
across the Rio Grapde to Paso Del Norte
and all other portions of chihuahua in the
most unrestricted manner. In fact some
in the big business have kept separate es-
adjustments on the Mexican and Amer
lean sides of the river. A sudden stop was
put on it to- day. The blow, being totally
unexpected was the more stunning. To-
day all Chinese wanting to cross the Rio
Grande into Mexico were readily allowed
to go, but none were allowed to return to
Ell Paso.
Among the leading Chinese here many
are possessed of ample means and have
quietly consulted eminent legal talent as
to themeans ofevading the stringent clauses
of the law, but met with no encourage
ment from that quarter Applications to
take out naturalization papers are prompt
ly rejected by the Clerk of the Court John
Chinaman is very unhappy to-day.

WASHINGTON, October 26th.-C w. Zu-
lick, Governor Of Arizona, in his annual
report to the Secretary of the Interior,
states that there has been during the year
steady progress in the growth and develop
ment Of the Territory. The population
has largely increased the Indian depreda-
tions are thing of the past; life and prop
erty are now safe, and law and order are
supreme.
During the year 295, S41 acres of public
land were entered by settlers 200 miles OF
canal for irrigation are in operation and 100
miles additional will be built during the
present year.
The Importance of Congress authorizing
photographic survey of the Territory to
demonstrate the feasibility of artesian
wells and water storage reservoirs is dWelt
upon at great length.
The yield of gold aud silver last year
was S5,77l 800.
The Governor renews the recommenda-
ton of last year for the necessary appoint
ments for the survey of public lands in the
Territory, and urges the settlement OF
private land grants and opposes the propo-
sitiou before Congress to transfer these
claims to special Court created for that
purpose.

The Gubernatorial Fight in New York.

In an address delivered the other day at

his opponent, David B. Hill, and the
methods which are being used to re elect
him.:
For pettifogging by high official l
| have never seen the like OF that and he
has been pettifogging this temperance
question all over the State The sole and
controlling resson why be vetoed the high
| license bill was because the liquor dealers
| demanded it.
Now. as is natural, the liquor dealers
| boast that they control the Executive of
the State. 1t is shameful boast, and no
| greater infamy has ever come upon the
State than that it could be possible that
such boast could be made. If the people
| OF this State want that boast renewed next
year by the Liquor Dealers Association
they should elect David B. Hill as Gov.
ernor and not myself. have not come
| here begging your votes. l come as the
representative of a cause, not as personal
candidate. If the people of New York de-
sire the shame Of the control of our State
| Government by the liquor dealers To con-
tinue, they don't want me, aud | don't
want to be Governor"

not exaggerate the situation and it would
be lasting disgrace to the Empire State to

Belief That Minister West Would
Rather be IN Russia.
WASHINGTON, October 26th No new de-
velopments are expected in relation to
Minister Vests unfortunate blunder until
next week, and it is possible that Mr.
Cleveland will take DO further notice Of
the matter. The general opinion here is
that, whether Lionel fell into q trap de
hberately prepared for him, or whether his
correspondent in Los Angeles was inspired
by the sincerest motives in writing his let
ter, the future usefulness of the British En-
voy TO his Government in this country is
at an end.
Should Mr.. Cleveland be reelected, Sir
Lionel can never hope to enjoy such init
mate relations with the President during
his second term as he has during the last
four years. On the contrary, if Harrison
is elected. no foreign Minister who can be
accused of having, even unwillinglv, been
a contributor to the result, can enjoy the
impartial esteem of members Of both politi-
cal parties in this country.
That Sir Lionel viii be requested to leave
the country, or that the British Govern
ment will be requested to ask his recall,
seems highly improbable Mr.. West, how
ever, may of his own resolution, request the
Foreign Office in London TO transfer him to
some more agreeable post. His Lordship
recently fell heir to fortune and title il
England, and 1t is not unnatural that he
should wish to visit his new possessions
and to take rest from his arduous duties.
From Washington to st. Petersburg would
be g promotion for Sir Lionel, aud one
that he would doubtless appreciate. His
predecessor in Washington. Sir Edward
Thornton, who had represented bis Govern
ment here with eminent satisfaction for
many years, went to ST. Petersburg. and
thence to Constautinople where he ae-
quilted himself so poorly in certain diplo-
matte negotiations that he was retired

THE RAILWAY MYSTERY.
A Ray of Light Thrown Upon Lopj
Hidden Crime.

New YORK, October 26th-About one
year ago Sophie JansoD, a young and pre-
possessing woman, 25 years of age, left
Sweden to visit her sister in Brooklyn. She
arrived at Castle Garden, which she left for
Schmidt's Hotel in this city. Since then
all trace of her has been lost Her married
sister, whom she had come to visit, has also
disappeared.
The mysterious disappearance of Miss
Janson was not made known until a few
days ago, when Mrs. Sandborg, residing at
Erastina, Staten Island, returned from
visit to Sweden, where she met the young
woman's parents, and learned that they had
heard nothing of their daughter since she
! arrived in this country. Miss Janson, when
she left home, had about s. 900, and wore
considerable jewelry.
As the disappearance of the young
woman occurred about the same time as
the discovery of the murder of the young
woman at Railway, n. j., Mrs Sandborg
is inclined to believe that the murdered
woman is Miss Janson. She will go to
Railway tomorrow, and, if possible,
identify the clothing of the young muir
dered woman, which is in the possession of
Railways authorities.

The discovery of the crime of Gordon
