possible to estimate with any accuracy the
extent of the damage and amount of loss

probably have to go into dry dock and be

permit no one on board or even on the dock,
and will say nothing about the fire or its
probable origin. It is generally believed
have ignited it.

AS late as forty years ago an Eng
lish married woman was, financially
speaking. the mere chatteI of her hus-
band. She had not the right to con-
troll her own income, if she had one,
or even to enjoy her own earnings if
she earned anything She might have
worthless, drunken, brutal hus-
band, who, after ill-treating her for
years. might turn up again some evil
morning from Norway or Nicaragua
or Newgate and break up the home
she had formed for herself and her
children during his absence, seize
and SQuander what money she had
scraped together, sell her furniture,
and then abscond again for an in
definite period. II she had riches,
her wealth could not be secured to
her without cumbrOus and costly
legal settlements, while dissipated
or heartleSS husband might wrench
from her every penny of interest ac-
cruing from her capital. There was
no cneap or expeditions law of di-
yOrce which could free her from the
matrimonial tie when her life had be-
come intOlerable through the cruelty
or lntidelity OF her husband. She had
first TO 90 to the Ecclesiastical courts
to get divorce from bed and board,
and next private act OF Parliament
had to lie procured before the con-
jugal shackles could be dissolved. To
get divorce was like walking over
broken bOttles-you bled at every
sttp. The cheapest divorce cost

INCIDENTS OF A WINDY DAY.
Two Iiunaway Hats, an Oficious Citizen
and Perhaps a Spree.

Two Iiunaway Hats, an Oficious Citizen
and Perhaps a Spree.
A wind propelled brown Derby hat
rolled rapidly from Park low toward
Nassau street yesterday afternoon,
saws the New York Sun, pursued by a
Young man, whose lack Of headgear
and eagerness in the chase gave in
dication that he was the owner. AT
the corner of Ma sau and Spruce
streets he collided with an older man
and knocked off the latter's silk hat,
which also became the prey or the
wind, The two hats rolled merrlly
down the Spruce street incline. the
Derby we'll in the lead, and the two
owners followed them, while crowd
gathered to watch the fun. Up the
hill there came putting a portly and
comfortable looking party, whose at
tention was called to the hats by
sundrY howls of:"Hi!" ''Ho" ''HeY"
and other equally ineligible inter
jections from the owners. The portly
party essayed to stop the first hat
with his hands, in the manner OF one
who grabs for a chicken, gingerly,
and with an evident fear that it
might bite. The Derby lodged
nimbly by and the rortly one then
took chance at the tall hat. He
stuck out his foot The silk hat
lightly tripped over it. So did the
owner of the Derby, who was close
behind and didn't have time to stop.
He plunged forward on the back of
his neck, Topped over once and
landed sQuarely upon the silk hat
with force highly detrimental to its
appearance.
Up he rose with a howl Of rage and
welted the surprised portly party in
the diaphragm. Before the other
could retal1ate the owner of the silk
hat arrived and poked his fist into the
the collar of the proprietor of the
brown derby which was meantime
making good time toward William
street. Then there was real TRAN
gular mix up, and the crowd of
spectators howled with glee. Pres
emily the man without the brown
Derby bethought himself of his hat,
having satisfied his rage by kicking
the shins of the other two men. He
saw it in the act of rolling beneath
the feet of team of draught horses.
After they had passed over a micro
scopical examination would have been
necessary to identify the remains.
The owner left them lying in the
road, went back to the other two,
who had descended from mutilation
of each others features to mutual
objurgation, and suggested that they
all have a drink and talk the matter
over. They disappeared into a
neighboring saloon. and the crowd
melted away. Two minutes there
after a messenger boy emerged from
the saloon and returned shortly with
two skull CABS

and broke out in a wild screech, ac-
companied by many grunts, much
smiling, and the most horrible grim
aces. rolling his sightless eyes about.
In nearly unintelligible jargon he
told Of the life and exploits of a great,
good, and honest official-a mythical

and very painful to listen to. When
be had finally brought his song to an
