In company with two or three friends, Poole went to the Wash ington House, So. 3 Railroad avenue, and called for a dish of clams. Ira Munn, the barkeeper of the hotel, asked Poole if lie hao the money wherewith to pay tor his meal. Poole lespouded by prodticine money to the amount of about $100. The dish called for was placed upon the table, when Munn incited upon immediate payment. Poole, made angry by ihU demand lor payment belore the tood was ea'en, rose from the table, and with Lis Iriends sturtd to leave tho room. Poole, as he reached the door, remarked that he should patronise no house where be received such treatment, whereat Munn plunged a, jack-knife into Poole's left side, penetrating almost to the heart.

A HUSBAND SUED BT HIS WIFE FOR THE SUrTOKT OF THEIH ILLEGITIMATE! CHILD. From the Chicago 7'ribune. August 3. A very curious matrimonial problem comes up to be solved this morning before .Justice Sum- merbcld. The solution may be simple enough, but tho case itself is certainly one ot the most extraordinary in the annals of domestic life. A woman suing her own husband tor tbe support of their illegitimate child, may seem at first sight a mere absurdity, yet such is the true statement of a little domestic ditliculty which has recently arisen. it appears that about nve years ago Patrick Ward, an Irishman, who owns severul houses aud lots in this city, took to himself a wife whose name is Mary. By him she had two children, and tbe pair appear to have lived together in perfect amity and mutiHil contentedness for a long term ot years. Business propered With Patrick, and he grew rtcn. ine chitaren grew and flourished, and Mary was blest. About six months ago. however, a coldness spruntr up n the domestic circle, owing, aa was alleged by the husband, to Mart's over partiality lor the bottle. Mrs. Ward lelt the citv to visit some friends who resided in another State, and when she was gene Patrick found life movmg so smoothly with him in her absence, that he deter- miped to nve alone lor tne miure. ne suea tor and obtained a divorce trom the absent wile, hiW'iie in hi6 bill, aabitnal druDkennesr. When Utn mtiiMfld. Uai.nV relented some what, for h".s old affection for her revived, and.. without telling her what had transpired wnne she was awnv. he welcomed her back to his bed and bosrd. The result of Ihe reunion was that a third little one win about to be added to the famiiv. As toon as he became alive to the pro bability of an increase. Patnck bethought bira self once more of his divorce, aad informed Mary of the disagreeable fact that she was no longer bis wife. The result was that the doubly wronged and injured wife and mother repaired yesterday to the office of Justice Bummeitield, and ewoie out a warrant against Patrick for the support oi tne ennu. The case wi'i be exu mined thia morning before the Jostice. This Is the way Mrs. Smith advertise her husband: "Lost, Straved, or Stolen. An individual. whom I. in an urgent moment of lonelmrw. was thoughtless enough to adootasmy husband. He Is a good-looking ana leetno Individual, knowing enough, however, to come in when it ittlus, unless some cood-looklng irl ofers him the shelter ot her umbrella. Answers to tbe name of Jim.

The New York Ntiaiu Nagar KeOnery fiald to be Victimized to the Extent of 8I20.00M The l(ltaltr aald to nave jione to California. It was discovered on Wednesday last, if rumor bj correct (though for some reason oust known lo tbemhelves the otlicers of the institution vic timized retiibe to extend any Information to the r porters concerning it), that a heavy dedica tion, or rather misappropriation ot funds, had taken place among tbe employes of rhe New Yo. k Sieum Sugar Rctining Com oah.v. The party impli cated is said to bu Mr. Isaac W, Dean, of No. 141 We-1 Twenty-tir6t street. Mr. Dean was the Wall stieet salesman of the Company, and, it rumor speaks truly, has been tor some time appropriating to his own use large amounts of ibe lunds that were intrusted to his care. Tie sum total ot these peculations is variously estimated at iroui $85.0(10 to $120,000. With a tioitiou of the money thus obtained, it is said, lie lelt this city on Wednesday last, pur steamer, lor Caliioiuia. The delault.s aie reported to have been brought about in this manner: The party in quest ii u has been in the employ ment, ot the Company lor many years, and in ordering sugar iroin ih? refinery lor customers, was in ihe habit of raakiug his order lor the goods much larger than was needed. diHonsing id the surplus on his own individual account. The cret of these nefarious operations is suid to have leaked out in tins wise. $:i()00 worth of sugar was purchased lrotn tho salesman by a grocer on the east side of the city, the am-eii-ruent being that it should bo sold oil a credit of thirty days. Tne reported deiattiter, hovvever. it is said, subsequently induced the aroeer to ciuh his own bill at a very liberal discount, which the trrncer did forthwith, taking ajproper voucher theniore. When the oill came to maturity a collector went from the Company's olhce to procure the iucds, when the whole transaction between the grocer and tbe sales man was brought to light. The grocer's state ment was, of course, carried to the Company's oilice, and the salesman was at onco upbraided with the alia r by the head buyer of the estab lishment and the Company's confidential clerk. He acknowledged the truth ot their statemeut, but earnestly implored them not to im inn tue President ot the Company with regard to It. Btating that ho would make tho matter all right the next day (Thursday hibti. In consequence ot this promise tuey pave no information to the President, supposing that the money would be forthcoming, it was not, nowever, ana. tht tacts in the case were mule known to tne President, Mr. Moller, of fio. 31'J Fifth avenue. humor has it that no sooner had Mr. Dean left, tbe buyer and confidential clerk on Wednesday, llianhe jumped into a coach, visiter bis resi dence, and, alter hastily packing a trunk, was driven to the pier from which the California steamer sailed. This statement comes lrotn the coaebmar, though many believe that he wa too shrewd to have gone in a direction where notice ot his alleged peculation would have been given by telegraph long belore he could set loot on tbe shores of the Pacific slope. That he has gone lo some foreign port, or that he is yet secreted in and about tne city, seems much more probable in many minds. Fifty thousand dollars i3 about the reported amount be is suid to have taken away with him, wher ever ho may be. Mr. Moller, the President of the Company. movs that no detinue information can bo given With regard to ltean's operations, or H's where abouts, at present. He denies that he has de frauded tho Company to Ibe extent of $120,000 or y 80,000, as bad been repotted, or that h took aw ay with him any considerable amount of the Company's lunds. On the contrary, Mr. Moller stated ibat, according to Ins information, Dean borrowed money irom his Iriends with which to pay bis passage from the country, and no pro' te-ts that the Company are in blissful ignorance concerning any lacis connected witn too ma1' tcr. w nether the President s statement or com' mon rumor be correct, of course time will tell, Mr. Dean leaves behind him a very Interest ing family, consisting of a wile aud five ehil dren.

Tbe Cincinnati Enquirer says: "Nothing has transpired since our last to indicate any change in ihe discount market. The receipts ot curitncy are lair, and most of the bouses report balances slowly increasing. The applications for loans are on a modorte scale only, and the supply of currency being ample tor all lecitlmaie purposes, tbe market is in a comfortable woiklng condition. Rates of interest are steady at 810 per cent, lor first class sienatures, and 12 per cent, for good mer cantile paper. Outside parties are still, in many cases, obliged to seek acconi modations on the street, where 15 per cent, is the ruling rate, as this class of borrowers meet wlih but little eu couragement at the regular discount houses. There is 1 ttle or no paper of a speculative char acter oOering, as there is no animation in our general markets." The Chicago Jtepubiloan says: "There is no essential feature of change to note in the character or coudition ot the money market. Owing to tho quie t which so generally prevails in commercial circle, there is but a very moderate demand for loans, and the banks readily accommodate all good paper at the legal rate of interest. Eastern exenange is still in very light supply, and the market is firm at par buying and 1-10 of one per cent, premium, selling." The European circular of L. P. Morton A Co. makes the following allusion to the pros pects ol the cotton crop: "The prospect of the groviog'crop, we think, has improved within the past thirty days. From an actual inspection ot the growth, and a per-i-onal investigation of the condition of labor, we incl ne to the belief that 2,000,000 bales may be made. Should tbe present month prove wet and windy, or should the frost be unseasonably early, this will not, in all probability, be reached, Tbe extremes ot judgment now appear to be 1,800.000 baits and 2,000,000 bales, in view ot tbe above contingencies." 1 PHILADELPHIA Sroi'K EXCHANGE SALES TO-DAY Reported by Do Haven k bra .
