Behind tbe couple were several well-to-do appearing people of the French work ing class, among them a tall young fellow who held himself erect and showed in his gait-i that he felt that it was really tbo bap-pleat dsy fof his life. Tbe bootblack' cry and tbe scurry ho and his companion made toward tbo advancing party attracted the attention of tbv passers-by. and before "the fairy" and her attendant had passed well within tlie con tines of tbe park, their progress was Im peded by a crowd of several hundred people. Tlie park police came to tne rccue and cleared' the way to the City Hall, and in a few moments the weddins party were within the Mayor's office. T'hey bad walked from Cham ber-rtreet.

bkeptics frequently stretched the bcrlpture on a rack to extort from them a meanins which ther did not give. Jeu Chrtfct and His teachings were generally free from their shafts. The people should be taurht that the preacher is not religion lishtninc-rod and ther tbe neeauve m-Nliunia. To deal in fancies and speculations waa little better than mockery. As to tbe doubtersthey were always in a minority in churches, and there were better lor treating with them than by tnjectins doubts and speculations into tneeara of the othvr bearers.

There was nothing more common in this kind of controversy than tbe flippunt manner of handling things that have taken up he careful time of wise men for years. A father did not Bod it necessary to exulain to hia daughter the detail of wickednea to teach ber tbe value or puntv, and preacher need not drill their people in infueaty to teach tbem us louj.

A real estate a rent was questioned relative to tbe Value of some Brooklyn property owned by Mr.1e 1' mother.

De Meli snd Baron von Geyao Ik July. 188L The guests were not inown by tu-lr by number. For instance, the witness would go to the foot 'of tbe stair, and call oft to the chamber-maid In German: "Tell Ndl 28 to come down to breakfast," A tekfcram was brought- ne morning for Baro i von Geyso, and the gentlcmah who was with Mrs. De Meli took it from the. wl npss.

The tonduct of the man and tbe woman was "very friendly." Tbe witness recognized photographs shown btrn nt Mr. Be Meli am tbe Baron as tbe persons who staid attbehotr- Mr. Parson mixed the witness up on his ite in tbe cross-examination and succeeded in showing that in Germany, as in America, hotel raltcr are always on the lookout -for gratuiti, know a pretty when they see one, ai can easily forget a great many things wbiuh it is not discreet for them to remember. 1 be German decreebf divorce came to the sur face gala and provoked a discussion which lasted nearly all day. Mi Parson stated his objections to it in very decided form.

He objected generally to the "so-called" decree that it was not pleaded in bar. tt admissible stall. It could only be as evidence. I The German proceeding was begun for tbe obvious purpore of preventing a trial upon tne anents oi tne case. ine defendant knew that hi wife had no mean to litiaate in Germany, and- he knew.

also. that pven were this net so she could not recognize' that Mr. Parsons said that the decree was not admissible under The pleadings. It purports to decree that Mrs. De MeU-Com-mitted adulterr withataron von Geyso in August, 1W1.

Time and pktcejare material. There fat no allegation in the answer that the offence was committed in Aua-ust, but between July Sand 13, lettL Another objection was that the decree was not properly authenticated. No jurisdiction by the uernian court, eitner or toe parties or ox tne alleged cou rso'of action, appears. On the contrary, the so-called iifcree expresses that tbe par ties were American citizen ana oeiongea to thi State. The ourt here will not give effect to the di termination of foreign tribunals affecting the matrimonial relations of American citizen married as auch.

The so-called decre purports that the court made its determine ion according to American law. It does not as mme to follow the German law, and it does not I olicw the statute here. The marriage was celeb ated in Dresden, but purposely a kn Americin marrlajre. It Was not a marriage by German law. It created no state or condition with wtiish German law could deal.

The German proceeiinar was betrunln Novem-- -ber. 1XH2. Tbe defendant tetttines that it was be- frun with the advice tt his lierman counsel that tne court here wou 1 1 recognize the decree. The manifest object was obtain an ex parte ileoree in a proceeding beg in subsequent to this suit, and to use It so as deprive Mrs. De Meli of a trial.

Judge Butnsey finally decided that there was no evidence showing that Mrs. De Meli whs not a citizen of New- irk, snd that the German court had, therefore; no jurisdiction over her The decree was. in his opinion, only to much whste paper, n4.be accordingly ruled it out.

THE OfFLZASAlTT COMPAKT WHICH WAS FOBCED TWO BEPCTT MARSHALS. UnHed Btate Dety Marshals Grimes and Smith went to St. Louis recently on business, snd on their return to this City yesterday narrated their experience with a feUow-peaeenser coming East.

A man boarded tbe train at St. Louis with them, and bis conduct immediately. excited surprise. Deputy Marshal Grime said that the man sat down in a seat behind him sad began to mumble nonsense to him. Tbe words "horrible deed" and "mnoccnt" were distinguishable.

The officer immediately became suspicious, as a dreadful murder had been committed in St. Louis juat before they left that city. Deputy Marshal Grimes told tbe man to keep quiet, and went and sat down several seats away. where be could watch tae mans movemema. It ki the euatom on the I In bv which they were traveling- for the conductor, after punchinjr the passenger's ticket, to give him a check to stick.

unoer tne nana ot nut on iriunii Eastern eoaxla. Whert the conductor came around a second time the strange man could not find hia check. That night when the two Marshals went to sleep Smit put bis hat with his check in it in tbe rack over tbe window and went to sleep. After awhile the conductor came amend airaln and asked to see bis cbeek. Smith said it was in hi bat, but tt could not be found there.

It was found afterward that tbe strange man had stolen it, for when the conductor went to him be im mediately showed a check. This man watched tbe movements of tbe two officer closely, snd at one place where the train stopped for luncheon, on going into tho restaurant and finding tbe officers there be ran out hastily and returned to the train. Finally he went to Grimes, while on the train, and said: "I know you fellows are officers you'd. better arrest roe now, but I'm innocent." The officers put him off. but watched all bis movements closely and warned tbe pas sengers on tbe car to do likewise.

When they were about SO miles from Pittsburg Smith fell asleep, and Grimes was looking out of the window. Suddenly tbey both beard a pistol-shot. The ball has commenced exclaimed Marshal Grimes, a the both sprang up. Tbey saw at once that it was the atrange man who had fired the shot. They rushed at him and he drew a long knife.

After a strugs'le tbey overpowered htm and put a pair of handcuffs on him. Then they found that he bad shot himself in tbe breast. Marshal Smith was Inclined to doubt thi at first. i You're not shot," he said. Tes.

I am." replied tbe man. 8mith thrust bis hand under tbe man1 clothes and found the wound. The man would not say why be had shot himself. He gave bis name as William Lay ton, but would say nothing more. The officers ascertained that he came from a town in Iowa, and was irolng to loin friends in Pittsburg.

They telegraphed ahead to that place, and when tbe train reached that city an ambulance was ready to receive the wounded man. The. ambulance surgeon said that the man's wound was fatal. Tbe Deputy Marshall both said yesterday that they were quite sure that the man was insane, andfteyhad much difficulty in allaying the fears of the passenger on the train. Deputy Marshal Grimes said he would not be at all surprised to find thst the man had committed some crime which had preyed upon his mind and upset his rtason.

I THE LEGION OF HONOR FRAUDS. I MISS WILLIAMS OFFERS TO BEAK HER XN- CXK'8FOTSHMENT. John D. Dr. Rufus W.

Pea cock, and Elam W. Corey, who are charged with having defrauded tbe American Legion of Honor at Jersey City by fraudulent insurance of persons afflicted with incurable diseases, were arraigned yesterday In the Hudson Quarter Sessions, Prosecutor Winfleld said, before the Jurors were selected, that the State had decided to enter a nolle prosequi in the case of Corey, the understanding being that he was to be used as State' evidence. He waa called a the first witness. He testified that hi son, Marvin who was one of tbe insured persona, died Oct. 18.

1883. He bad been unable to work ainoe previous May. Harrington and Pea-susvested In June that he and Ma the cock son loin the Lesion and they effect od his admin. sion, the lad being insured, as be understood, 1 ror iMi. Alter aiarrin oeatn uorey wa told bad been added to the amount of the insurance for the benefit of Eva Williams, his son's cousin.

Mr. Corey knew that he had no niece of that name, but Dr. Peacock told him it was all right. Tbey then went to an oyster house on Eighth'avenue. near Twenty-thirdtreet, where Be wa introduced to Eva Williams, or a young woman who wa caned Dy that name.

When they left the place the girl went to Jersey City with him and signed a paper. he escorted her back to New-York. A few days after he received a two-thousand-dollar check for himself and another for for Dr. Peacock. The latter wa indorsed "Eva Williams." He went with Dr.

Peacock and had the chauka Subsequently Dr. Peacock told him there was likely to be trouble about the matter, and gave him a letter signed Eva Williams and directed to him, (Corey.) telling him to get tbe letter mailed in Pennsylvania. The letter thanked Corey for getting "Cousin Marvin's" insurance for her, and said she was going West with a family whose destination was uncertain. Subsequently Corey met Harrington in a saloon, when tne latter said If you testify against me you wont live 10 daysV On cross-examination, tbe witness said he bad discharged bis lawyer because they bad got most of hi money without rendering him any service. Dr.

W. J. McDowell testified that he was called to attend young Corey on the 2Bth of August, and be found him in the last stag of consumption. The di9uae had evidently been running for some Eva H. Williams testified that she was a neice of Dr.

Peacock. The doctor, told her in November last that a cousin of hers had died and left an inheritance of her favor. She said she bad no such cousin as he represented, and refused to touch the money or to have anyl thing to dp with the case. Her story of the affair was the same as that given- in Ths Times when Dr. Peacock was arrested.

At the conclusion of her testimony. Mis William created a sensation by asking the, court If a lie could make a statement. Judge' McGill told her she could, whereupon she said: "I could not the money which Dr. Peacock wanted me to take, because it was dishonorable, but if it be possible to do so I will bear his punishment for the sake of my aunt and go to prison for him:" A bush fell upon the court-room which lasted until Prosecutor Winfleld exclaimed In loud tone: "I know you would!" when the audience broke into applause, Judge McGill raiiped loud) with his gavel and declared the court adjourned until to-day. It was through disclosures Miss Williams made to her friends in tbe order that the charges were made against Dr.

Peacock. Harrington, and Corey. SELLING A CLUB'S FURNITURE.
