R. H. McDonald Jr. has filed a suit for divorce from his wife. Hoping to void the scandal attendant upon publicity the action was brought in the Superior County of Contra Costa.

McDonald is 33 years of age and his wife 23. He is Vice President ot the Pacific Bank and a son of Dr. It. II. McDonald, the roan who invented Vine Bitters, and is a standing candidate for- Governor of California and President of the United Slates the Prohibition ticket.

All the circumstances tend to' render case more piquant for the purient fancy or the scandal lover than it would be if they were the simply domestic infelicities of Mr. and Mrs. Darby or Joan of the Watts tract. McDonald bajes his suit on desertion, charging specifically that his wife would ama aar nnxtiu nun, mail, daily: TEAK IBB WMKlt TntlBDNE; rciutiiio irur Iathioit, tnin: OH .8) 50-S1X 25 TO TOURISTS. rrom tmtlpn nfflocr resorts who desire Dai.t or TkiVrxlt Tribune may kave the paper nent, promptly by notlfylnx this til Oca.

Tivou-Slw, or Tlv Fire of Ute. 1, 1887. Big SMpa. European Governments are ing a great deal of, money on their baUle ships, a fct not accounted for by the figure cut by their fleets in recent wars. It is easy to understand why England should fr-pend large sums on her navy, because she is the great commercial nation, and her commercial fleet is, perhaps, her only vulnerable point.

But it is not easy to understand why Austria, with- little commerce and lew seaboard citie liable to bombardment, should spend' noney when money is so scarce witl it. The same thing is true of Russia, for its money is even scarcer titan that of Austria, nd her seaboard I cities are so well fortified as a rule as to be almost tin- Approachable by ahestile fleet, unless composed of Ships oi the very largest character. An interesting problem of the next war will be tlie powers' re- eietance of fortifications to tke big guns now cairied fey first class ironclads. It is possible that no' such thing exists as fortifications impregnable to the onslaught of the 110 ton And even larger guns now carried by iithe big ships. If a ship of Ihe character, olj the new English ship, the Vfctoria, with 'and her 110 ton guns can sail with comparative impunity ups the Neva and, disregarding the guns of the Cronstadt fortifications, shell the ity of St.

Petersburg, this will ii.4 troduce an altogether new factor to" v- he counted as part of the cost of pro-' "yoking a war with England. Not-! "withstPTiding her J5ize, it is not 'very easy to hit a Vessel of this sort, because she can bei forced to a speed of seventeen knots an hour, and to produce any impreaeion on her thick 8kin guns of the heaviest caliber would be needed. These are expensive and not many rptnenta have money enough to upend on them after they have paid the cost of Iheir enormous standing rmiesi It is not certain that we in America are spending our 'money very judiciously. The. ships we are building are neither big nor little, arid -consequently not much good either for attack or defense.

The fact is nobody thinks we are likely to 'r need "them for either purpose, and our efforts are half hearted. And yet an ironclad fleet is something like a pistol.

1 ATKINSON'S DEATH. The Coroner's Inquiry Into the Shoot-' Ing by Konjonr. Coroner Fronk this afternoon fceldan inqnest on the body of Frank S. Atkinson, shut by old Boijour at about 6 o'clock, July 22d. The testimony developed almost nothing which has not already been fully set out in The Tkibcse's accounts 'of the shooting.

Thomas Ahern, who owns the proper.y where Bonjour kept his salcon, ridiculed the idra that the old man was at all demented. Witnt-ss had found the oldgrfellow a man of good sen9e, goockaSrrpntation, and good business tact. Neither had he known bim to drink. On the other hand Sergeant Fletcher thought that Bonjour whs a heivy drinker, generally under the influence of liquor, and from drink or other causes not right in his mind. Several witnesses testified that Bonjour was alwavs quiet and peaceable, while Atkinson was quarrel-tome when under the influence of liquor, though no one testified that he ever at' tempted to strike or injure any one, even when in his cups.

Shay of the firm of Shay McDonald, contractors, for whom Atkinson workeo, testified that desied waa the best mnn who ever worked for him, aad that when jitrid off at 4:45 o'clock on the day be was shot, be was sober and good natured. WHY HE NEVER RETURNED. Stewart Savs lie Found Ills Wife to Be I'ntrne.

A short time ago Nellie E. Stewart commenced suit in the Superior Court against Benjamin F. Stewart to obtain a divorce on the ground of desertion, the alleged that her husband had abandoned her without cause over a year ago. She also set forth that he is receiving a ealarv of from $M) to J100 a month aa a jeweler, and she says she is in destitute circumstances and wants a reasonabie amount of alimony. Stewart interposed a demurrer and filed an answer, which came np before Judge Greene to-dav, but as the parties! were not readv tlie case went over for a week.

The defendant in bis answer says that the reason he left his wife a v'ear airo was because he found that she was untrue to him, and that she has been intimate with a man in Oakland and in San Francisco, but whose name he cannot ascertain.

The Founder of the Great Bisdon: Iron Works. One Upon Whom Fortune Smiled Awhile Then Frowned A Han Prominent in Early Says. John N. Risdon, one of the prominent men in the early history of California for many years a resident of East Oat land, died yesterday at his home. On Thursday last Mr.

Eisdon suffered, a second stroke of paralysis and sank slowly until death relieved him. He received his first stroke five or six years ago, and since the occurrence his health has been in a shattered condition. The life of Mr. Risdon has been one of great extremes of fortune He belongs to the1 list of California's self made men. He began 3ife with prac tically nothing but strength, youthful ambition, and good health.

Ten years ago John Risdon wealth was esti- mated at over half a million. He now leaves his widow with little more than a comfortable competency, BIOGRAPHICAL. He was born at Ann Arbor, in 1822. He began life for himself at the age of 14, and engaged in various oc cupations until the breaking out of the California gold fever. With his young wife he decided to emigrate to tlie glit-terine El Dorado, and took Dassare bv way of Panama.

In the isthmus, now- ever, he was struck bv the outlook of commercial opportunity, and decided to remain. He opened a store and conducted business for eighteen montn, out tne ongnt coloring ot re-'ports from California lured him to the western goal, and in 1850 he landed in San Francisco. He was one of those who saw their fortune mirrored in San Francisco trade, and never entered the mines. John Snow had shortly previous opened a boiler making snop and small foundry, and with him Mr. Risdon became associated He knew nothing of the practical operation of a foundry, aud he devoted himself to the business end of the concern.

A few months' experience satis fied him that the business! was one of brilliant prospects if properly eon ducted, and in 1853 he land a Mr, Coffey, then acting as foreman of the shops, purchased Mr. Snow's interes and enlarged the foundry. Coffey fc riisuon tounary was awell fer.own sit in the early days. The wof-ks occupied me present location ot wuntington Hopkins uo. on Market (street.

THE RI8DOS IRON WORKS. 1 The business grew arid tjie firm floii ished. Finally, in 131, Mr. Risdon dreamed a dream of still greater enter prise. The dream was realized and a few months the Risdon Iron Works were opened.

The enter prise was started on the joint stock plan. Mr. Risdon was the largest stockholder and President of the company from which the the foundry took its name. He acted as President until about ten years since when business-reverses met him and his great wealth flowed out as easily as it had come. He left the foundry and retired to private life in East Oakland where he since has quietly resided with her who now mourns bim as his widow.

Mr. Risdon in manner was and reserved and while taking a strong interest in all public movements he never appeared as a prominent talker. He was known as business man of solid common sense. He was a member of the Vigilance Committee of '56, and a director of tlfe Mechanics'' Institute, and a director of the Fire man una lnsarance company. Ho leaves two children, Robert Eisdon who resides in Oakland, and a daughter, Mrs.

A. W. McPherson, who for some months has been with her father. DEATH OF MRS. GLASCOCK A life of Unostentatious Usefulness ODlt.lv KnilMl.

I Yesterday morning the long and use-1 ul life on earth of Mrs. Margaret Glascock, wife of ex-Judge W. H. Glascock and mother of ex-Congressman John E. Glascock, was ended.

Her passing away was as quiet and gentle as had been her life. Hers is a face 'that will be missed by many friends who have been wont to find strength and comfort In her calm sympathizing judgment and strong character. lliqtigh few have know her except as an invalid, yet her illness and decrepitude have been solely of body and her mind has ever been strong and deal. She had strong political and re ligious sentiments. She was bom at at Milton.

Her father was John Raglan, a descendant of famous Welsh stock which early, settled in the Southern States and which has sent forth many branches noted in legislative halls and always as stauncn upholders of prinoi pies they believed to be correct-i In 1841, while living with her parents in Misaissiprii, sue married Mr.

In both cnuren ana pontics she took a most iervia interest, iter name though. was a haven for favored friends who desired the influence ef her strong and thoughtful judgment.

Agreement I'nder Which Kverythlng Now In Abeyanre. Following is the text of the memorandum of agreement between the attorneys in the liquor license cases, under- which the test cases are to be taken up, indemnity money deposited, and prosecutions remain in abeyance J. A. Johnson, for the people, and C. T.

Johns, and Moore fc Reed, for defendants, agree: 1. Defendants shall withdraw and not renew demands for jury trials in all cases pending, and shall waive jury trials in all such cases, and in case of fHrthcr arrests shall for each defendant waive jury trial. I 2. Defendant sh.ill. Upon one or nore cases, as they see fit, by apeal to the Buinor Court of Alameda county, or to the Supreme Cpurt of the State of California, as they see proper, seek an authoritative decision on tho merits of the ordinance in question a to its legality and validity.

Johnson agrees to co-operate freely. 1 Attorneys for both sides agree to" raise no technical objection upon any statement or petition as to ivs form, it being the intention of both sides to get an early decision upon the'legalitv of the ordi'nanoe. Johnison, however, ds not agree that he wiill waive any question of jurisdiction or power to entertain. Jf the Superior Court of Alameda county a firms validity of ordinance, then defendants shall and may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of California for judgment on the merits, either by habeas corpus or other proper and legal method, and to obtain final decision may advance as many cases as thev please. Johnson, however, is nt bound to waive, objection to jurisdic tion Or objection that the judgment cannot lie attacked in manner chosen by attorneys for defendants.

However, in proper case, where jurisdict'on to determine is vested, he will aid in getting speedy hearing on merits, as will also attorneys for defense, i 3. All defendants will, bv Saturday, July 30, 1W, deposit with Messrs. Moore, Reed, and Johns the sum of 100 each, which said sum is bv said Moore. Reed, and Johns to be paid over to J. W.

Tompkins, Citv Marshal of the city of Oakland, immediately upon decision in favor of validity of the ordinance by the court of last resort, and is to be returned to defendants immediately in case said court declares the said ordinance to be invalid. In all casts where the sum of $100 is not so deposited each defendant will submit to arrest and give bonds for appearance in court when his person is required; but Johnson agrees not to try, said defendants unless necessary, and excepting only test cases, not at any "time crevi ces to final decision herein agreed to be sought. If by final decision the ordinance is sustained, all defendants arc to pay license; and abide by decision while the ordinance is force. If by said final decision the ordinance is held to be void all cases represented by above named attorneys for defendants to be by Johnson dismissed without court costs. I'nder this agreement a statement on appeal in the case of the City vs.

F. I'aoli is now being arranged. Eighty-seven liquor dealers have their names on the list furnished the City Marshal of those who have deposited each. A previous statement, that $11,000 had betn deposited, though obtained in the office of Moore Reed, was apparently incorrect. John Slavich of 910 Broau-way and F.

Cooper of 601 Third street took out licenses to-day nnder protest, making a total of forty liquor deWers who have paid up. Some thirty others have been arrested, and are untie." lends. This would indicate that at hast 1GO saloon keepers are still in business in the citv. DEATH WAS TOO SLOW. William Stewart, a.

We are never likely to need any of them, but wehave mopey enough to spend in preparat'oh for a remote but dangerous contingency. A few words of description of the big ships now building or just launched will be of interest. The French armor clad Maxceau, launched about three weeks ago, has 10,500 tons displacement, with engines of 12,000 horse power at forced draught, which should give her a speed of nearly seventeen knots. Iler turrets are well protected by steel plates, and will contain powerful guns. The returns, the Hoche, the Magenta, and the Neptune are all French armored vessels of about the same displacement, now in course of completion.

The Victoria, a heavy British ironclad, launched during the present season from the sliipyard, has exactly the same horse power, 12,000, as the French vessels just mentioned, and, like them, is expected to make seventeen knots. She carries armor eighteen inches thick and two 110 ton guns, besides over forty smaller onesT, including a dozen aix inch guns. Prior to her construction the heaviest British vessels in the fleet; were the Benbow and the CamperdoWn, Which will be fully reauy lor service of their type; next year. The which is that of barbette vessels, 14 the Anson. The wister ship of tlie Victoria will bo the Bans Pareil, while' the Nile and Trafalgar, also turret ships like them, will be even heavier, reaching a displacement of close! upon 12,000 tons, 12,000 horse power each.

They will not be com pleijd until the year IBM. While they are to cost a little more than the Victoria and Sans Pareil, they carry guns of smaller cali-fcer, the main battery of each being four sixty-seven toi guns. ItAly shrinks at ho expense for her navy. The Italia 4nd Lepanto have cost $4,800,000 each; and the three sssels of the Andrea Dorea type each. 1 Two, later vessels are to cost $4,409,000 each; The Francesco Morisirii has a displacement of tons, a speed of sixteen knots, and a battery of four 103 ton guns.

One of I he most remarkable features in this Re Umberto is the power of her ei igines, which are Maudslay's, and de' elop the unprecedented collective horse power of 19,500. A. great effort is being made to build ahips which will make over eighteen knots an hour, as for purposes of attack speed is one of the first requi-- Bites. A very high; speed has been developed by the new torpedo boats, and naval architects are aoyi trying to attain the same jspeedjwith ships of the middle class such as we are now building. Consequently a description of Italy's jnew cruiser, will be of interest here.

She has A length over aUof 267 feet, a breadth of 37, a depth of 20, a draught of 14 a displacement of 205Q, tons, and a horse power of 5000, which can be increased under fprced draught to 7700, and will then give a speed of Unknots. Shew fitted with triple expansion made by Messrs. Hawthorne, Leslie Co. of.
