FOR DIVORCE. The Suit of a Former Butler of Ciencrnl Grant. WASHINGTON. The President Satisfied With the Utica Convention. Additional Information Wanted in Regard to the Wallabout Lands The Claim of John E.

Wheelock to be Pressed. WianiKQios, April 21 Special to the Eagle. A Congressman who called npon the President thia morning declares that Mr. Arthur is ell satisfied with the result of the convention in New York. If ho prop erty represents tho President's sentiments.

Mr. Arthur antlopated an unqualified defeat at Utica. The general impression hero is that it is a waste of time to talk about Arthur's chances at Chicago, and that tho moBt his friends can hope to do is to defeat the man from Maine. Anything to beat Blaino" is now a vociferous a cry here as Anything to beat Grant" used to be. It is claimed that Sherman will fall Into line against the "Plumed Knight," whom he will noyer forgive for the strength he is 'developing in Ohio.

Enthusiastic Arthur men aro trying to keep their courage up and placer a favorable Interpretation upon tho result in New York, but thoy are promptly answered by the claim that not only were the Arthur men defeated, but that they displayed unexpected weakness in being un. able to defeat Blaine without going Into a hostile A meeting of the Senate Sub Committee having the "Wallabout Lands bill in charge was held this morning, Thoy decided that further information concerning tho matter wsb needed from the Secretary of tho Navy, and that ofilcial is to be asked to submit it. This will involve nrtner and probably fatal delay so far as the present session is concerned. What other information they can possibly expect it is difficult to conceive, Congressman James and Campbell having already gone exhaustively ovor tho ground. There are uo couRicting interests at stake, the Government being as willing to sell as the market people are to see the land Bold, but tho force of red tapo is asserting itself triumphantly.

MessrB. Blackburn aud Hewitt have deserted Randall, so far as one of the Senate amendments to the Naval Appropriation bill is concerned. They have both mado brief speeches favoring tho appropriation of enough money to arm tho new cruisers. Blount promptly took up Baodall's cause. Ho said that Blackburn and Hewitt were striking powerful blows at the Committee on Ap propriations.

All that the committee wautod was to have a conference committee appointed so that tho Sen ate and the House might arrive at a compromise. The Republicans were anxious to mako extraordinary ex. penditure simply because it was near election time and he hoped tho House would trust Its own commitete to deal with the Senatorial conferees. Randall has been beaten by a vote of 114 to 94, the Senatorial amendment being concurred in on motion of Blackburn. A dozen Democrats voted with the Republicans, and Borsheimer received general congratu lations upon the issue of his fight with P.andall.

Tho outcomo of the Pacino National Bank Investiga tion will be the passage of a bill taking proper precau tion to prevent s'mtiar disasters. Tho law will be amended providing that when a national bank increases its capital such increase Bhall not be used toward pay. tag the existing dobts of a bank. Congressman Lamb, on behalf of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, this morning presonted a report in the matter of the arrest and imprisonment of John Wheelock in Venezuela in 1879. From a review of the correspondence submitted by the President and Secre tary of Stats the committee deduce the following facts First, that John Wheelock, a citizen of the United States, while in pursuit of lawful business in Venesula, was arrested by a officer of the Venezuelan govern ment and most Outrageously tortured aud that his claim for damages for the torture inflicted upon him was promptly presonted to the Venezuelan government and has been vigorously argued.

The committee is of the opinion that more vigorous measures than diplomatic correspondence are necessary to secure justice for the citizen of tho United States thus grievously wronged, and recommend the adoption of the following resolution Resolved, By the Senate and Honse of Representatives of America in Congress assembled, that the President be. directed to bring to tho attention of the Government of Venezuela the claim of John E. Wheelock, a citizen of tlie United States, for indemnity for gross outrages and tortures inflicted upon him by an officer of said Venezucliau Government, aud to demand and enforce in such manner aB ho may deem best an immediato settlement. Tlie resolutions wero placed upon the House calendar and will come up in their regular order. Wheelock claims $50,000 damages originally.

m. Dsay was alert in Lis wstcnfulness over wart Interests, and shone In tho negotiations as brightly as his carefully polished silken tlie. Silas B. Dutcherwas a valuable auxiliary first of Arthur and then of Edmunds. His exertion to beat Governor Cornell for delegate was as good an illustration of tho uncertainties and Ingratitude of politics as the oldest politiciana had ever witnessed.

Senator Daggett was an activo worker throughout the proceedings. Ho finally got into the convention as a substitute for a sick man from Suffolk. He acted oatentationsly against his former cronies Miller and Cornell, and tho hisses that followed ought to have mado him sick also if he had not been fortified by the proximity oMho Hon. Thomas Piatt. George B.

Deane, a right bower of General McCook and an anti machine Blaino man from New York, Ibjected to Daggett's admission, whereat" the Stalwarts, who exhibit a warm affection for ihe Senator since hia conversion from Garfloldism, were considerably irritated and distressed. THE STAVE! COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS. Contrary to expectation all four of the Brooklyn State Committee members have been reappointed. Iu tho Second District Major E. H.

Hobba was opposed by John H. Kenible, a devoted henchman of Dutcher from tho Twenty second Ward. Dnteher exhorted like Methodist parson to advance Eemble's prospects, aud Major Hobbs had about abandoned any idea of winuiug when Ditmas Jewell, of New Lots, who cast tho deciding vote, threw it into the scale against Dutcher and Kemble. Tho Third District delegates held a brief conference just before starting for home, Jonathan Moore, the incumbent, was a candidate for reappointment on the State Committee. A complication arose out of tho attitude of tho Seventh Ward delegates who demanded recognition for William Ray, tho President of tho Seventh Ward Association.

Ray was defeated for National delegate and felt pretty sore over it The delegates finally concluded to roolect Moore to tho committee and make Ray a Presidential elector. Ex Senator Russell wanted to be au elector, too, but the representatives of the district from the Eleventh Bat down on him, to the great disgust of his lieutenant, Assistant Postmaster Brown. The delegates from tho Fourth District ro electcd Wm. H. Beard with little difficulty.

A schemo was on foot to defeat Beard, but with his customary luck he landed squarely on both feet. Major Tato and the delegates from tho Tenth Ward did active work to render Beard's election certain. In this district John Winslow was named aa Presidential elector. Tho Fifth District Republicans for some inexplicable reason re elected Louis E. Nicot to the State Committee.

Nicot who is about aa microscopio a specimen of a politician as there is in the country, of late has been carried around in the pocket of Daggett or Dady, and is now a factional appondago of Police Justice Naeher in the Sixteenth Ward. James L. Jensen, was talked of for the place, but he seems to have lost his grip Binca his defeat for County Clerk, and refused to stand against Nicot. Tho Presidential elector In the Fifth District is Francis F. Williams, of the Eighteenth Ward.

All the Brooklyn men have loft tho city, and but few delegates are to be seen about the hotels this morning. M. E. P. ALBANY.

Political Tails: at the Capital, Tho Action of the Utica 6nvcation Discussed by Jutlffe Tracy, Senator Daggett, George Bliss, MicliaeJ J. Dady and Others Special to the Eagle. Albany, April 24. When the Assembly convened this morning there "tvero not moro than a third of tho members present, ao demoralizing was tbo effect of. tho Utica Convention.

The 6leepy Republicans dropped in gradually and the bu Bin ess of tho day went on in a listless sort of way. There 1b a wide diversity of opinion as to tho truo significance of the convention. Speaker Sheard maintains that it was a victory for Blaine, because on the vote for temporary chairman it was mado cltar that the Plumed Knight from Itaiuo had tho most friends. Michael T. Dady, aa a good representative of thur men, says it was a glorious victory for tho Administration because Cornell and Miller wero defeated aa delegates at large.

General Tracy, who was one of the most active men at tho convention and assisted in bringing about the combination, in an interview thin morning said I regard it as a long Btride toward bringing the in dependent and regular voters in line for tho aupport cf tho nominee of tho Chicago convention. It was a victory for true reform, for ciYil service and the Administration. It was unquestionably an Arthur victory, aud tho effect will be to make 100 delegates who are now dissatisfied with the President perfectly in accord at Chicago. It shows that Arthur aud his friends are working with tho independent element in perfect harmony. It was a most emphatic declaration against Blaine that he Is not a eafo candidate and cannot carry tlys State.

I regard it the best stroke for Ar thur during the canvass. The resu't of yesterday's convention was brought about by the Kings County delegation. They held the balance of power. I was present at a conference in New York on Monday when was considered. It was there decided that Roosevelt was the key to tho position and that his cooperation must ba obtained.

This was readdy given by the young reformer. It was seen that the Edmunds delegates were unorganized and had no loader and that Roosevelt was the one man to bring them in line. I went to tho convention to advocate the election of Mr Beecher as a delegate at large. If there had been one Artlmr man oii tbo delegation Mr. Beecher would liavo been that one.

I was opposed to the mentioning of my name in the caucus and did not knoM that it was to be brought up." General Heath, who was one of tho recognlzed leaders of tho Brooklyn delegation, says that it was not particularly an Edmunds victory, but that Edmunds is merely the name of the elcmont which is anti Arthur and anti Blaine, and that they do not consider that they have committed themselves to tho candidacy of the Vermont Senator. Mr. Boyuton, who was Chairman of the Convention, takes a different view of the matter and eaya that the Edmunds men are for Edmunds and for no one else. He regarded tho Convention aB a great victory for Edmunds. George Bliss Bays "I am well satisfied with tho result in this State.

It puts Cornell out of the way as apolitical factor. It was clear the Miller people were anxious to throw him overboard as his vote fell much below that of the Senator. It Is possiblo that Whitelaw Reid may have some feeling at being unceremoniously tossed overboard without a show of any kind. I do not think Blaine had 170 honest votes in tho Convention. I certainly look npon it aa a victory for the friends of the Administration." Senator Daggett thus sums up the Convention The Blaine and Arthur forces wore about evonly divided.

The Blaine people thinking the frionds of Arthur would not consont to the election of four delegates unless permitted to select two, refused to enter into any combination with the Arthur men, believing that tho Edmunds men would join them." Tom Piatt, who knows more of politics in one minute than Miller has learned since he became a leador, did not take this view, although he probably hated Arthur more than Miller loved Blaino, Miller's counsel pro vailed. It is regarded as a victory over the Blaine element and negatively a victory for the friends of the Administration, although It Is not pretended that tho candidacy of General Arthur is directly promoted by it. It has disposed of the leadership of Miller for tho present, at least. For once Kings County settled a question of importance in a convention. The reform element and the so called Daggett machine wero iu accord.

Either tho reform element is worse than represented, or else tho Daggett machine is not half so bad. H. E. G. A YICTORY FOK "PLUNGER" Lonb.on, April 24 The second Spring meetingcOf the Sandown Park Club began tc day.

Speculation About the Work of the Assessors. A Considerable Increase of Talnatlons Expected Appointments by Commissioner Fleeiuan Decoration Day Expenditures. The Assessors are now in the midst of work of valuing property for tho purposes of taxation. Thore will bo a considerable Increase of the aggregate valuations, but not so great, it is believed, as tho in crease of last year over 1882. Last year tho Increase of assessments of real estate was of which $6,871,900 was for new buildings.

This loft $9,521,680 to be attributed to other causes these are actual increase of value and rectification of former valuations. Theio was last year a decrease of $1,108,391 In the val uations of personal property, so that the actual total Increase of valuation (personal and real) was $15,198,189, ThiB year the increase of value of old buildings will not bo so great as that of 1883; but the new buildings will be more In number and value. It la probable that the tax levy itself will be greater this year than it was last, but there will be a partial offuct in tho Increased assessment valuations. A reduction of State taxes is expected.

Boston, April 24. The story of the arrest of Tilden Abbott, tho de faulting treasurer of tho Union Market National Bank of Watertown, as far as is known to the hank people, is as follows Becehtly a certain blacksmith in Fierco City, in some manner, unknown, came Into possession of a copy of the circular cut out by the officers soon after Abbott's flight, which contained a description and photograph of the defaulter. He became convinced after watching the clothing dealer 'Foster' that he was the man called for in the circular. On Monday last he telographed to President Shaw giving him au Inkling of his belief, and asking as to the amount of reward that would be paid for Abbott's arrest. The President informed him that $1,000 and a certain percentage of the money recovered would be paid.

The blacksmith then caused Abbott to bo arrested, and on Tuesday morning he telegraphed tho fact, stating also in tho dispatch that Abbott had confessed to his identity, and that he was wUling to come on without requisition papera The prisoner will not, iu all probability, arrive In Boston for a week or ten days, as there will be many matters to adjust in Pierce City pertaining to tho property in which Abbott had Invested a portion of his ill gotten gains. Ho will be Indicted and tried iu Suffo County, and contrary to the impression that has prevailed, the directors of the bank will do all in their power to havo him punished to tho fullost extent of the law.

They did ao, and a verdict oi gumy was finally rendered yesterday. A very serious complexion Is put upon their deliberations by the action, as alleged in five affidavits, of one or mo jurymen Frederick B. Parker, of 210 Madison street. Tho oharges mado against him in these afflda vlts, which have been submitted to the District Attor.

ney and are now in the hands of Judge Mooro, are as ioiiows That on Tuesday afternoon, when tho Jurors were allowed to go homo, to appear in court tho next morn morning, Parker went round to the Windsor. He went to the bar and called for a glass of whisky. Mr. Bich ard Mansfield, the present lessee, told him that whisky could not bo served, as tho hotol was a tomperance house. At this time TyrreB came out of his oifice, and, according to the affidavits made, tho following conver sation ensued botween Parker and Tvrrell.

"How do you do, Mr, Tyrrell? I was never In this nouso before." Tyrrell paid no attention to him and was walking away. I suppose you saw continued Parker, "No, sir," was the reply, "I don't remember having seen you, and my mind Is annoyed now aud you must oxcuso me." "Don't you remembor mo?" was the next nuostion. No, sir I am in trouble now, and I don't know anyone (Impatiently)." Why, I am ouo of your Jurymen, and I wont to speak to you. Haven't you a private room where I can seo you Mr. Tyrrell looked at the man and said that he had.

ana conducted mm to the parlor. Mr. John M. Gol den was there, and was introduced to the juryman, who said his name was Parker. The affidavits go on to stato that Parker said Thore is no evidence in my mind to convict Tyrrell, but I want to make some money.

I am his friend," (this to Golden), and if it is necessary I will stay there for a week, and ho can never be convicted." Goldon thought that no juryman would bo such an Idiot to attempt to get money, personally, undor bucIi circum. seances, aud put tho man down as a fraud. Ho told Tyrrell to leave the parlor, and then oxcusod himself from tho alleged juror for a few minutes. This Was for the purposo of introducing other people in tho parlor who had been in conrt during the proceedings, auu wno wero rami! ar with the faces of tho jurors. These persons so introduced wero John Funk, who had been a witness for the prosecution James Tyrrell, a New York policeman Richard Mansfield, the lessee of the Windsor, aud Martin D.

Tyrrell, who was on trial. Parker, according to tho was recog nized as a juror. 1 ho affidavits charge that Parker said: "Give me $50 down and I'll stay for a week, or stay till I rot, and and it tho jury disagrees I'll ask for uo more; but if there Is an acquittal, I want another $50 and I'll do my best to secure an acquittal." Then, according to tho sworn Tyrrell, by advice of his friends, temporized with Parkor and ayked whore ho lived. He said, At No. 210 Madison street." Ho was toid that he would bo allied upon.

At 10 o'clock last night John M. Golden and Martin Tyrrell drove to his house in a cab. Captains Jewett and Mclaughlin wero present when tho cab stopped at the house. Tho ring at the door bell was answered by a man who lived on the second floor. He was asked If Mr.

Parker lived thore and he replied that ho did, and wauted to know what was wanted of him. While Golden was speaking (so tho affidavits state) Parker opened the front door. Ho was clad in a long white niht shirt. He was romiuded of his visit to tho Windsor yesterday afternoon and ho replied (so it is alleged), "Oh, yes, do you want to settle Well," was the lesponso tho fact is that Tyrrell did not know whether you were a juryman or not, but as long as it is all right we want to see what you have to say." Just at this time a female voice from upstairs shouted Yon come iu or you'll catch cold 1 and the door was shut. "Is thero any doubt about this story? asked an Eaoi.e reportor of Counselor Woruberg Tyrrell's lawyer.

"No, sir, according to the affidavits I submitted to Judge Mooro this morning the facts as you havo them are all correct, and I will say further that Judge Moore and tho District Attorney will take immediate action upon them." The reporter saw Mr. Tyrrell and asked him if he intended to pay Parker money whon ho called on him "No, sir," was the emphatic reply. "If my liberty was to bo bought iu that way I only wanted to bo sure as to the identification of this man and to have tho necessary stops taken for hiB punishment, just as I have done." THE KEM151 SEASON ENDED. A. Brilliant Celebration of Slaalts pearc's Birthday Anniversary.

The performances of the Kemble Society at the Academy of Music last evening constituted one of tho finest tributes to dramatic art which has be'on attempted on any Bcale In amateur theatricals in this city. Society was no tiptoe of expectation tor weeks in regard to tho production of Much Ado About Nothing by the Kcmbles, and the result was a fuU house. Now Srring bonnets and garments sought opportunity for an airing and found it. From the entrance to the Academy until the guestB reached tho door of the auditorium was a continuous Bysteni of floral groupings and embankments of plants. The font do Cologne poured out lis rlchncsB upon a thousand handkerchiefs and tho atmosphere was permeated by the moBt delicious of odors.

Each end' of the proscenium was piled up with calla lilies and other flowers. Tho dress and family circles and boxes wero gracefully festooned with evergreens, and a hundred bird cages held songsters whoBe volcos were heard frequently during the evening. The souvenir was highly praised as a work of art. It contained a beautiful representation of the church Bcene in the fifth set, finely engraved and embossed in colors. Conterno's music was spirited aud interesting, aud did not pass without recognition.

When the curtain rose on the first act the house seemed to bo taken by storm, and the applause which followed Jeft no doubt aa to tho appreciation of tho artistic work done in the stage settings. It waB a scene or beauty done up in tints, and with such skill as told of. deft hands and exquisite taste. The other scene which surprised the audience was the church In the fifth act. That, with the music, was a contribution to tho evening's entertainment never equalled on the professional stage.

Of the acting it would bo invidious to mention one namo for praise without all, for the Kemble did really seem to be at Its best. Every parson in tho cast was perfect, and thore wero no balks to mar the unity of the play. Beauty and talent combined to make the whole affair by all odds the very best dramatic essay ever made in tho Academy. The costumes were brilUant and rich. The reading was done as if for the purposo of revealing the design of the author, and this furnished to tho vast company what was really a feast of interpretation.

Mr. J. De Cordova was stage manager, and to him, with the dramatio, reception aud other committees, who have carried the season so successfully to a triumphant end, are duo the thanks of thousands of guests who will not soon forget auy things which they have enjoyed at the hands of the Kemble, and never the rendition of Much Ado About Nothing."

A COLD BATH. Unpleasant Adventure of Two Far Rockaway Belles. They Are Rescued from a Roadside Creek by a Brooklyn Dentist Au TJnromantio Livery Stable Keepor's Claim. A trait has been instituted by J. Walters, a livery stable keeper of Far Bockaway, againBt Dr.

Samuel S. Guy, a young dentist, who has an ofilce at No. 132 Flatbush avenue, this city. Tho facts are as follows: Dr. Guy has for a number of months past boon In tho habit of visiting tho Misses Mott, daughters of B.

B. Mott, a wealthy resident of Far Bockaway, usually selecting Sunday for that purpose. He made his customary call on Sunday last and was accompanied by a friend whose namo does not appear. Having arrived at Mr. Mott's resldenco the young men had to expeiiouco tho disappointment of finding only ono of tho young ladios at home.

After a short conversation in the parlor a walk to tho beach was proposod aud agreed to. At tho latter placo Dr. Guy and his friends were introduced to young lady frioadB of Miss Mott. Tho afternoon was pleasantly passed in conver sation and at six o'clock Miss Mott, it is Baid, pleaded previous engagement with a gentleman acquaintance. Alter tno departure of Miss Mott Dr.

Gray proposed ride to Jamaica. After some slight hesitations tho girls agroed and a conveyance was securod at Walter1 livery stable. Nothing seemed to occur to mar tho rieasuroof the quartet until the return fromJamalea, shortly after 12 o'clock. Having arrived midway be tween that place and lar Bockaway one of the traces of tho carriage broke. Dr.

Gray descended from tho car. riage and mado an attempt to repair tho brakeaffft After many unsuccessful ondeavors ho was about to give up ih dispair when a vehicle was heard approach lug trom tho direction of Far Bockaway. Tho doctor in a lond voice cried for assistance, and iu so doing frightened the horses attached to his own carnage. In their mad endeavors to roleaso themselves from the grip of Dr. Guy, tho animals upset tho conveyance, throwing tho two young ladies into a creek, ou the outsKlrts of the road.

On beholding tho young lames struggling in tho water, the doctor threw off his coat and plunged iu to rescue them. With much dif ficulty he succeeded In bringing thom to the shore, lhelr Easter toilets wero completely mined. As tho team had run away whilo tho ladies woro straggling in tlio water it becarao necessary to find other means of reaching Far Bockaway. A conveyance obtained at Dooloy's Hotel, close by, In which the "party were driven to tho residence of the young ladles. It was after 2 o'clock whon the quartet arrived at tho homestead, aud the father of tho girls refused them ad mission.

Thoy finally found sholtor for tho night at tne home of a relative Whilo tho young ladles were enjoying their sudden bath one of them lost a gold watch belonging to her motner. lollowing morning a biU from tho livery Btame keopor for damages to his conveyance was pre sented to the doctor and hiB friend. This tho yonng men refusod to pay, lionco tho suit brought by Mr. Wal. ters.

Tho caso will come up for trial In a fow days. An Eagle reportor saw Dr. Guy this morning, but ho declined making any statement in the matter. One of tho girls was tho heroino of tho trouble, about a yoar ago, whon her mother shot at Wilson, the Brook lyn furniture dealer. AN IJIPOSTOB GETS HIS DDE.

The Blaine and Arthur Machines Smashed. The followers of the "PInmed Knight" YilrtrinicItefT hr ffniolv Pnmhinnfiiin. Kiugs County Plays an Important Part In tlie Contest Packard's Successful Eace Against Wood Pulp Miller How the Bosses Wero Slaughtered The Field After the Battle. Special to the Eagle. Uuoi, April at Tho Independent Republican cyclone has spent its lorco, leaving the fragments of the rival machines anil the rcinaiu of many slanghtercd bosses in its track.

The mortality list embraces nearly all tho old time Stalwart and Half Breed chieftains. Warner MlUcr has been thrown flat on his back, anil his followers have token to the woods. Miller's wound is broad and doep, and all tho wood pnlp in the world will not heal it. Hia political race is run. riven his recent allies are berating him, and when he drove over the hillB to Herkimer to.night in company with his man Sheard the common Judgment was that he bad been Bhelvod for all "Ime to come.

His principal fellow suffer, Thomas 0. Hatt, crept away on a late train, enveloped in a haze of despondency. Piatt was by long odds the moat adroit manager on the ground, but all his tact and influence failed to stay the storm. Collector Robertson, General Btepladder "Lew" Payne and the other Blaine leaders have fled to theirtenta, aud even tho moro robust of. their legionaries, McCook, Pitts, Wadsworthand Bloane, ore in hospital.

Prone on the Oneida plain lies the "Plumed Knight, "and in the distance the few am vi vora of the Mulligan body guard are swiftly fading from view. Political intrigue has met its Waterloo, personal magnetism" has failed to InBpire tho party patriots, and Blainelsin has received a setback that will probably deprive the country of the campaign ot fire" promised by a devotee of the tattooed historian. The voice of the Empire State is againBt Blaine and Blaiucism, Miller and Millerism, and all the Fharisees who have followed in the Half Breed train. THE ADMINISTRATION DEFEAT. But the Stalwarts are no better off than their old time adversaries.

Apart from contributing to the overthrow of a hated adversary they have ao cause for crat lfication. In what they set out to accomplish, an advancement of President Arthur's prospects of renomi nation, they have ignomluiously failed. Tho Adminis. tratiou flag is not even at half mast it has been pulled down altogether. The ancient machine is not temporarily disabled; its cargo and wheels and levers are riven by tho lightnings of Independent Republicanism.

Not only has tho Arthur cruBade received a shock, but unless all signs fall it has been thoroughly destroyed. To the President's ambition New York has dealt a fatal blow. 1 ho Commonwealth has made it plain that it will not indorse his candidacy. The Stalwart giants have fallen before the impetuous onslaught of tho antl machiue reserves, and their weapons are in the hands of strangers. For a little time they will seek to disguise their surrender irith a pretense of having accomplished by indirection admission of defeat will come later on.

It must bo admitted, however, that they retained to the last the ingenuity and tact which havo made them a power in the land. Tho conditions of their environment were not such as commend themselves to the Stalwart mind but they made the best of a bad situation. Assailed in front aud on both flanks by the hordes of Blaiucism thoy sought succor in the ranks of tho heretofore despised and derided. better element." Though the Independents condescended to nothing more than to cover their retreat the concession served to Bave them from a massacro by the Half Breeds. The combination was a strange but effective oue.

Never moro will bo doubted tho aphorism that politics mako strange bedfellows. Who would havo thought a week ago of finding the dreadful O'Brion and the lamblike Roosevelt beneath the same coverlet Who could have imagined ft year ago that tho wily Daggett would recline himself upon tho bosom of B. Piatt Carpenter 1 Who within a mouth could havo prophesied that the lordly Dady would be tho gallant who was to lead blushing Ethan Alleu Doty a danco in the combination cotillion, or that Barney Biglin would hobnob with tho curled darlings of tho Union League Club, or that Henry Beard would roar tho pralsos of Packard, or that Hon. Bernard J. Mulhollaud would turn up iu tho dud esquo ranks of Republican aristocracy 1 Surely tho eruption is phenomenal but as Captain Miko Cregau puts it, we must take it as it nccs and swallow tho medicine." And after all, nobnoy ought to bo astonished after the mantle of peaqt and concord has de acended Eimultaneoaslymiorf Mo Too and the Bald Eagle of Westchesfcr.

The Arthur men can find oon (olation in reflecting upon the slaughter of Half Breed lam, and the apostles of Blaineisin are entitled to whatever compensation may be extracted from the thought that, if one is to bo killed, a sudden stroke is preferable 4o prolonged and exquisite torture. THE JUBILANT INDEPENDENTS. The Independents alone are entirely happy and with reason. To bo sure there were not many of them, but Ihey wero of dynamic. quantity and they exploded their project to mighty purpose.

This time chauco threw many advantages in their way. But it is equally truo that they exhibited rare traits of leadership. Bofore this handful of new comers on the political Held the weather beaten veterans of Stalwartism unfurled a flag of truce and yielded a swift surrender. Before their sturdy onset the standards of Blaiucism was trampled in tho dust. The practical politician for once found himself at the mercy of the idealist, and tho result proved that what the idealist was aftor was not "blanked barren ideality" either, as the late uncle William Alleu would havo it.

The Edmuuds men saw from the outset that they held the balance of power. They conducted the delicate negotiations leading up to their triumph iu a manner that would have been creditable to the most experienced of managers. What they desired was the overthrow of both Arthur and Blaine In tho pivotal State of the Union. This is precisely what they have succeeded in doing. They were not modest in the advantages which ihey took of the peculiar situation.

They could get a great deal and they took all they could get. In fact thoy took everything in the convention that was of the slightest value, and left a liberal allowance of sawdust for the opposition to subsist upon. Roosevelt ought to bo proud of the Tictory, which was emphasized by the handsome vote ho received for delegate at largo of 472 out of a tol of 497. To the laBt he was distrustful of tho "boys from New York, but John O'Brien stood tip to his work like an able bodied martyr and stemmed the tide of disapproval from the under crust. Roosevelt will stand by Edmunds until a better cudgel can be found for tljc heads of the machine managers.

Ho is said to think highly of Hawloy. President White, of Cornell, holds steadfastly to similar views, and both Gilbert and Packard are reliable in a like direction. It is certain that all four of tho delegates are anti Arthur, anti Blaine and autl Machine from the Boles of their patont leathers to the crowns of their reformatory heads. THE PART BROOKLYN PLAYED. Brooklyn exercised the most potential influence that operated in the convention.

The Republicans of Kincs havo been ao uniformly and offensively snubbed in tho State councils of the party that it will require time to realize the extent of tho impression which they made. If they had not united it is safe to say that not only would the Edmunds Stalwart combination slate havo failed of success, but it would never have been agreed upon. Tho Independents of the local delegation made a masterly move in capturing the Kings Comity caucus on Tuesday night. The vote of 20 for Packard iu that conference represented fully one half of the actual anti machine strength subsequently revealed at the larger Edmunds conference. Brooklyn scored a point by not having a single Blaino man iu the delegation.

It helped to put the Stalwarts into complacent liumor. But all favorablo conditions would havo been unavailing if Packard had not beaten Tracy and Winslow in the cancus. Only concentration upon an extreme anti Administration mau, such as Packard undoubtedly is, would have kept tho more pronounced anti Stalwarts cut of tho Miller fold. A transfer of six Brooklyn fotea would have given the temporary organization to and ihey would no doubt have been fonnd if the issue had been equally mado between the Administration and tho Mulligan Guards. It is doubtful if the local Stalwart leaders, like William H.

Beard, Marshal Tate aud would havo consented to tho arrangement itfor the earnestly expressed doslro of the por zdas supposed to represent the views of Mr. Arthur. As it was the 11 workers on tho delegation made a serious kick iu regard to Packard and wore with difficulty persuaded to stand up to thoir work. Packard turned out au excellent candidate. Although unknown in State politics he exhibited running qualities of a high order.

It was no small honor for this Young Republican to worry Warner Miller all round the conventional track aud tlieu beat him on tho home stretch in fine style. The fact that Packard had the smallest vote of tho four delegates chosen is no reflection upon him. He was not on the ground and no special work was done for liim beyond tho lively manifestation of interest of MesBrs. Willis, Doty, Emerson and a few other Independents. All Ihe Brooklyn delegates voted for him.

The only break In the Kings County delegation occurred in the balloting for lelegatee. Forty five of the number sustained the Edmunds combination of White, Roosevelt, Gilbert ar.tl Packard. The deserters were Tcnilinson and Nio mc tz, of Red Hoik Toiut, representing the Fifth Assembly They voted with the Blaine people for Miller and Cornell and sustained Roosovolt. Both cast their votes for Packard. Thoy are said to bo controlled by James Johnson, a Custom House ofilcial, who 00SSC3 tho Twelfth Ward Republicans.

Johnson is a notorious political trader and for years has managed to turn up on tho winning side. Thia Unio he has been badly left. According to tho statement of Sonator Daggett ho professed to bo for Arthur and ho afterward told George Giluly that bo was for Blaine. His delegatesvotod for Miller and Cornell, and tho anti Blaino men say ho did 60 because of tho preference brought to bear upon Johnson by Collector Robertson Daggett rather offensively suggested to Johnson Inst night that in the future he would havo to look to Robertson for his livelihood inBtead of to tho Government. Johnson craven, ly pocketed the insult, and whined that ho had been for Bdmunda all tho time.

Beyond the elevation of Packard to a placo on tho delegation at large, few Dimes of distinction wero conferred on tbo local delegates. Mr. John Winslow was on tho contested Seats Committee, General Heath was a member of the Committee on Permanent Organization, and Colonel 'Stephenson reached tho modest position of teller to count the decisive vote. Of the Independents the most effective workers wore General Heath, Ethau Allen Doty, Mr. Emerson and Supervisor Willis.

The regular clement bad among its most conspicu members General B. F. Tracy, Senator Dag. fjttt, John Winslow. Colons: William H.

FX.UBHIHQ, IV April 24. Supervisor Dykes has been furnished by Mayor Low with a copy of the amendments the Water bill which woro submitted at the conference between the Mayor and Assemblyman Chnroh and Supervisor Dykes, the latter representing the Board of Supervisors of Queens County. The proposed amendment to the first section provides definitely for the extension of the present water works' "from Bockville Center tond as far as and Including Massapeq.ua Pond, in the County of Queens, and the streams running Into the same." Section 5 is amended so as to provido for the filing or maps of the conduit line and ponds in tho ofhee or tho Clerk of Queens County. Seotlon 9 is amended so that the commission to appraise land damages Bhall consist of one citizen residing in Brooklyn and two citizens of QueonB County. Section 11 has been almost obliterated and the following amendmopt substituted: "And may also enter upon any streets, roads or highways, through or across which any pipes or conduits are to be laid or constructed, according to tho plans adopted pursuant to tins act, leaving Such streets, roods or highways tho same condition, as nearly aa may be, as thoy were before such entry.

Provided, however, that after the completion of the work contemplated, to be done by the plan or plans adopted as the city shall not take from the water shed drained thereby, as shown by the survey, more than forty per of the average annual rainfall thereof without nrst obtaining the consent of the Board of Supervisors of Queens County, to bo expressed by a resolution of said board, passed in the usual manner, or in lien thereof of a determination of a board of arbitrat oja to bo appointed. In case the Board of Supervisors' shall at any time or times refuse or neglect to act favorably upon the application of said city that more 'pan forty per cent, of the average annual rainfall of unco, may oo utxen, suau upon mo request or the Mayor of said city be the duty of said Board to appoint one expert engineer, and of the State Engineer and Surveyor to appoint another expert engi neor, who together with one to bo appointed by the Mayor of said city shall constitute a board of arbitrators, any two of whom may after hearing the respective parties determine what increase, if any, tho city's water supply shall be permitted within tho district drained." Section 26 provides that real estate acquired by the city shall be taxed only at the value of the adjacent lauds used for agricultural purposes exclusive of any improvements thereon, and all such Improvements are hereby made exempt from taxation except that dwelling houses and machine and pumping works and machinery in such machine and pumping works upon auch lands may be faxed in the same manner as against individuals." Section 28 1b entirelv eliminated from tho bill. Supervisor Dykes said he would not accept tho Mayor's amendments. "Why?" "Because the suggestions made by Mr. Church and myself havo all been rejected by the Mayor, and only theMayoi's suggestions have been added to the bUl.

Those suggestions are all iu the interest of the city. The bill is in uo particular improved in its relation to protecting Queens County in the enjoyment of its water snpply." Other persons i authority by whom the amended bill has been scrutinized regard it as more objectiou able than tho original bill. If the city would bind itself to take only forty per cent, of the rainfall of the water shed, the bill would not bo objectionable. Special objection is made to the arbitration clause aud to the provision which, if it does not epevially authorize pumping stations, does so impliedly. Queens County, it is said, will only consent to the passsgo of the amended bill when it restricts the city to forty perceut.

of the water and prohibits pumpiug stations. Kbn. THE NEW DIME SAVINGS BANK BUILDING. No 'i'rntu in ilic ESuinor Xlint a. Defect Sins Been Discovered in I lie Title to the Jjaitd.

There is no foundation for the rcmor cir cnlatiug to the effect that work was to be suspended on the new building of the Dime Saviugs Bank, now in courso of erection on tho corner of Bemseu and Conrt streets. Ex Mayor Hunter, the president of the bank, says there is no truth in the rumor that a flaw has been discovered iu tho tille to tho land. The counsel or the bank, Mr. Marcollus, said that the property was purchased from the Weaver estate about a year and a half ago, and that the Weavers at that time had been iu undisturbed possession for more than thirty yeara. It is probably the work of malicious persons who seek to damage tho good reputation of tho bank and cause a stampede among tho poor depositors," said Mr.

Mar cellus, "but I can assure you there is no foundation for tho rumor." Tho building will probably be completed in September. The reporter saw men at work on tho buildiug to day.

An action for absolute divorce has been commonced in tho Supremo Court of this county by Emllo J. A. Jourdan against Phcbo SuiTth Jourdan. The plaintiff is a Frenchman by birth, and has been in this country a little over ten Ho was for sometime butler to Oeneral Grant. Mrs.

Jourdan Is of English birth, and is 41 years of age. She la a handsome brunelte, and, like her husband, la rather small of stature. At present she Is residing at No. lOGGreon polut avenue, whilo her husband keeps an estaWlslmiont on Forty sixth Btreet, near Fifth avenue, nq York, whero ho manufactures laco curtains. The parties wero married in Paria on December 6, 18G7.

Traveling In the country at the timo was General Huutor, whoso acquaintance the Jonrdaus formed. They wore kind and attentive to tho General, and he rewarded thom by giving them a letter of introduction to General Grant, at the same time stating that It was easy to get along in this country, and that they could mako a great deal moro money hero than thoy could in France. In 1863, Mr. and Mrs. Jourdan packed up lhelr effects aud sailed for this country.

When they landed hero they Roucut General Grant, who. wlfon tba letter of dnciion waa handed to hiin, immediately employed tnem, giving Mr. Jourdan tho position of butler, and Mrs. Jourdan that of maid to his wife. In 1870 they left General Grant for the purposo of accepting similar positions from Mr.

Green, who was thou chief clerk iu tho Treasury Department. Following this they entered tho family of Oloufe Stevenson, who waa then the Swedish Norwegian Consul at Washington. It is alleged that Mr. Jourdan was unable to koop a position longer than a few years, on account of his wlfo's dlspo. Biiton, and he accordingly came to New York and established himself in tho business of cleaning lace curtains, on Fifth avenuo.

He was nccompauicd by his wife, and they lived happily together for some time. Opposite thoir resldenco was a fashionable boarding stable, in which was employed one William Willis, who had come from the same part of England as Mrs. Jourdan. Ono day Mr. Jourdan received an anonymoni lettor stating that during his absence Wiuja was In the habit of visiting the house.

Ho paid no attention to the letter and the result was that Willis continued his visits without interruption. In 1877 Mr. Jourdan caught Willis in tho house and accused his wifo of being unfaithful. The result was that a general row occurred lu which WilliB took Mrs. Jourdan's part.

Whlla Mr. Jourdan waa absent one afternoon Mrs. Jourdan packed up not only her own clothing but a great deal of her husband's. She wrote a long lettor to Mra. Bourgne, of No.

688 Seventh avenuo. In which aha stated that she was going to Europe and that she did not think that any ono in this country carod for her. In the letter she wrote the following I am afraid I can never return Then I must go Good by I Faro thee well, And if forever. Fare thee well. This waa signed "Byron." Mr.

Jourdan, believing that his wife had gono to England, gave up housekeeping. A few years ago Mr. Jourdan learned that his wifo was residing at No. 106 Greenpoint avenuo, whero she was keeping a laundry shop. On further Investigation, it is alleged, ho ascertained that Willis, the coachman, wai a constant visitor at tho house.

He accordingly brought suit, and placed his caso iu tho hands of Joseph Peainall. The answer sets up allegations of crnclty. Joseph Tearsall for plaintiff Thomas Peyton for defendant.
