An interesting suit was tip belorc the , Civil Tribunal to-day. The plaintiff, Monsieur Yerbye, who was form erly French Consul at Chicago, asked the Court to invalidate bis marriage contract in the United States on the ground that the lady was the lawful wife of another man. The lady Drought a counter action for alimony. The facts of the case are briefly these: In 1871 Mrs. Adele Seymour, nee Toung, a widow, was married in London to Monsieur Borgclla, who was obliged to leave France on account of his connection with the Commune. Soon after the mar riage the Borcellas crossed the Atlantic and settled in Chicago, where three children were born to them. In 1881, alter the amnestvof political offenders, Monsieur Borgella abandoned his iainilv and returned to France. Madam B'.rcella tried to trace his whereabouts, and while so encaged she became acquainted with Monsieur "Verbye. In 1886, tne ladv, who had by then given up all hope of find ing her husband, obtained a divorce from him on the ground oi desertion, and then married the Consul. This nmon was un fortunate, and within six months Monsieur Verbye had bolted and was appointed to some post in China. During the voyage he wrote to his wife, informing her that he would never return to her. The plaintiff's counsel contended that his client's marriage was bigamous and in valid, as a divorce procured in Cnicago by two French subjects was not good in French law. The court decided that Mrs. Yerbye be came a French subject by her marriage with Monsieur Borgella; therefore tlie American court had no jurisdiction, and her divorce from him was accordingly in valid, and her marriage with Monsieur Terbye was accordingly bigamous and void, but as the lady acted in good faith, it must be considered a putative marriage and therefore Monsieur Terbye, although re leased lrum his wife, must make her an allowance of 6,000 francs per annum.

It Still Iteinalns Great and Is Growing In Strength. mr DnxLAfs caule compaxt. LONl02f, Feb. 2. Seven times within the past seven weeks has Ireland pro nounced emphatically in favor of Charles Stewart Parnell. The meetings at Cork, Dublin, Limerick, Tralee, Athlone, 'Water ford and Ennis have been remarkable for sustained enthusiasm for the deposed leader, and the Nationalist demonstrations have had great effect in England, as proving the activity of the man who has been ot late read out of the party. The members of that division of the party led bj-Justin McCarthy stated this aiternoon that an arrangement had been reached by which Dillon will become Chairman ot the Irish party, and Parnell will for the time efface himself, and O'Brien will return to America to resume the collection of funds. A less sanguine spirit prevails this evening, owing to the refusal of Gladstone to give the assurances demanded by Parnell as the condition of his present retirement, which will only last until the genefil election.

Cardinal Lavigerie, the Archbishop of Algiers, has addressed a remarkable circular letter to the clergy of the diocese of Algiers. In this letter, while advocating adherence to the French Re public, he pleads for the formation of a purely Catholic party, distinct from mon archical and imperial elements, with which, he says, religion has hitherto been identi fied. He recommends that French priots adopt the programme approved by the Vatican, recognition of the established form of gov ernment, in order to be in a better position to defend religion openly. In addition he recommends that the priests should strive to separate Catholic action from that of the old parties; that tbey shdnld not allow religion to be abused in order to perpetuate systematic opposition, and tbat they should forget internal divb'ins so as to present a united front against sectaran oppression.

Mrs. Maria Keene is a small woman, nicely formed, and has a very girlish look, full of life and good spirits. She is accomplished and has an ex cellent education. She is, furthermore, the mother of five children, the widow of a na val officer formerly at tho Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the alleged niece of Jnstice Blatchlord, of the United States Supreme Court. After the death in New York State of her first husband, she came to- Rhode Island, and the summer resort of Biverside found her three years ago among the thou sands who occupy the" neat little villas during the heated term. She was very modest, loved all her babies and took the fondest care of each one. Among those whom she called upon was Mrs. Henry C. Pollard, wife of the well known detective of Lonsdale and the Blackston; Valley country. .At the seashore house of the Pollard family at this time was voung Fred Keene, nephew of the celebrated detective, and an heir to considerable real estate and personal prop erty. Detective Pollard was guardian over Keene, who was then about 18. A Courtship and Marriage. Unknown to the Pollard family the widow of 48 and young Keene bad become infat uated with each other, and lor weeks their courtship was secret and deep. Finally, when it began to he suspected, the Pollards took quick steps to have tbe widow leave the cottage, and she went to another village not far away. Young Keene then, to the surprise of the Pollards, followed the widow, and the announcement was made that a mar riage ceremony had been per ormed, and that the couplewere legally man and wife. The Pollards expressed themselves as greatly shocked and horrified, and they in sisted tbat tbe ceremony was an illegal one, for they alleged tbat Keene at the time was only 17 years nf age and a mere child. The relatives of Keene employed counsel and sought to have the marriage set aside, but it had been regularly performed by a well-known- clergyman, and all efforts in tbat direction failed. The charming widow went to Providence and secured the services of a lawyer too, and her interests were carefully looked after. Suddenly Keene disappeared, and the re port was current that he had been sent to Europe. Keene gave bis name to the Town Clerk, who granted the license cer tificate, as 21. He said later to his bride that he was but 18, and this she believed. Mrs. Keene "Will Fight. The relatives claim tbat Keene was only 17 when married, and they alleg: he will not arrive at his majority for one year to come. Mrs. Keene contends differently, and she has taken steps to secure means from bis accumulated fortune for the main tenance of herself and children, as she claims to be entitled to as tbe legal wife of the long absent young man. She alleges that Keene was of age some little time ago, and that his continued ab sence in Europe, if he is abroad, is enforced for the sole purpose of preventing her from securing her rights under the marriage of three years ago. After the marriage to the widow, Keene was supremely happvand was passing a honeymoon of unalloyed bliss, when suddenly it was ruptured by his being called away from his family on a mission, whence be has not yet returned.

Con stable Taylor arrested a man on Friday, who is known here as Frank Wolf. He was charged with stealing chickens. Wolf is a scion of npbility and his real name is Count Von Wollf. About five years ago, while he was at home on his father's estate in Ger many, he met and fell in love with a beauti ful American girl, who was residing in Germany for her health, and his love was reciprocated.

In the town of Marcy, about five miles from this city, tbere occur red last evening an attempt to murder a young woman named Lena Marks. She is aged about 20 years and resided with her father, who conducts a pie bakery. In tbe evening she left the room in which ber father, mother and several brothers were seated, and went out to tbe bakery, situated a few rods from the house. Sbe had been there but a few minutes when the door opened and a stranger stepped into the room. He asked her to follow him, and on her refusal to do so, he turned toward ber with a bottle and handkerchief in his bands, and after a moment's struggle the girl lost consciousness. About 9 o'clock the family became alarmed at her absence and the brothers went to the bakery. She wasibund lying in a pool of blood just outside the bakery door with her throat cut from one side to the other. After hours of work she became conscious, and though sbe is badly wounded, and has lost a large quantity of blood, it is now believed she will recover. The doctor who attended the, girl thinks that sbe was first assaulted, a ad then that her assailant attempted murder to escape detection. She is still too weak to tell the Btory in all its detail NOT THE FIRST TIME. Coni intied from first page. lamp high enongb to get the gas. Ho con sidered it safe'to use naked lights. benator Thompson-A man could not examine more tlian 40 contiguous workings tborongbly in two honrs. Mr. Moorehcad Ho had In his time two fire bosses, V. Snaith and his son-in-law. There were from 00 to 220 miners in tho workings. Benator Hines One man is enough to every working place. It was difficult to say where the gas camo from: There were always feeders in the mine and some in tbe main air way. Tbere were two continnous feeders, one near bull wheel and the other on tbe traveling way turning off the timbered heading and which could be lighted at any time. There was al ways enough air to carry this gas awaj. The wholo mine had but two Are bosses. Complied With the Mining Law. Inspector William Jenkins was examined by Senator Thompson and stated that he had been engaged in the mining business since he was a boy. He was 52 years old. He had been mine inspector in this district for six years. He know Eaton, the mine boss, for five or sir years. He was hero abont a year. He met him some Ave or six times during that time. Eaton sent him all the reports each montb, and he considered tbat ho had complied with tbe mining law. The witness went through the mine on tho J8th of January, and was through the "dip." Ibe ventilation was in fair condition. He made measurements of air, and found that tbere was 55,060 cuble feet passing in at the inlet every minute, and tbis wassplit, 23,940 feet flowing into the din and 31,120 into tbe Slope mine. There was 10.950 feet at the third flat, and 10,040 at the second flir. Ihe fire boss re ported to him that there was no gas in the mine. Witness fonnd the Are boss' marks at some places. Tbe absence of works in other places might be accounted for by the miners taking" oil the marks as they advanced. All had naked lights. Safety lamps were never used. He never saw gas in the dip wortslngs during tbe last 12 months. He always asked the mining boss as to tbe condition of the mine. He considered it a safe mine to work without safety lamps. He had spoken to Superin tendent Lynch about putting in air com pressors instead of steam, and tbe change was made. The only thing that could have avorted the accident was bv tbe tire bos discovering.be had tiro in tbe mine and using safety lamps. If these lamps had been used tbe catastrophe would bave been averted. Being asked to give some information rela tive to tbe accident. Inspector Jenkins said that the men had started to draw the ribs ten das before, and In doing so had drawn posts, and the strata over the roof had fallen. Tbere was also a "squeeze," and tbe probability was tbat gas had generated on tbe fall, and being caught by a gust of wind would be brought down on tbe lamps, Igulte and spread, and in spreading bad raised tbe coal dost. The coal dust wonld have Intensified the explosion and generated carbonic oxide gas (afterdamp), which was a deadly poison. The System of Robbing. To Senator Thompson tbe Inspector stated that the mine was being "robbed" in drawing the ribs, and tbat asqueeze bad followed on tbe robbing. He thought that tbesystem of draw ing out and widening rooms, as was the system used here, was a proper one. In some mines the rooms were driven and larger pillars left than was the case here. He tbonght tbat tbere could not bave been a great amount of fire damp, judging by tbe small amount of damage in the mine, outside of tbe loss of life. There was considerable squeezing where tbe ex plosion occurred. There has been gas since In the rooms and where tbe fall oc curred. There is also a good raising of tbe bottom by upheaval. He could not dis cover anr feeders in the bottom. He was of opinion that tbo gas generated at tbe time of tbe explosion came from tbe fall in the roof. A certain amount of coal is always left to pro tect tbe slate. Examined by Senator Hines, tbe witness said it was a wise plan to use safety lamps at points where pillars were being driven. He noted that tbere were no fire boss' marks on two places where men had been working. The number of fire boses employed de pended on circumstances. Tbe fall was about CO feet by 70 or CO feet. The witness pointed out tbe locality on the map. He be lieved tbat if safety lamps bad been employed in drawing ribs tbat tbe explosion would not have happened. He was sure the fire boss could not examlno all the "dip" workings in the time given him two honrs. If tbere were any rooms which had not tbe marks, tbe fire boss bad not visited tbem, as in duty bound. The Cause of the Accident Senator Hines What caused the accident? Inspector Jenkins An explosion of gas. Tbe Senator What caused ItT The Inspector A naked light The Senator How did tbe gas come there? Inspector The gas was liberated by a fall of Biate irora tne root, it tne nre uoss naa exam ined tbe placo and found gas he should not bave allowed the men to work; bnt he reported "all right." Tbere are no old workings near tbe "dm" workings, it is all solid coal land. There or six years, and regarded him as a competent man. He bad reason to believe he performed bis dnty; never had anv complaints aoout mm, and never beard anything bad about him. He bad beard people say tbat he did take a little beer when off duty. He bad inquired -into Snaith's character before be gave him his certificate as fire boss. He had ex amined him as to all the requirements of law. on safety lamps, gases ventilation, etc. He bad beard rumors about him since he got the certificate. He beard Snaith had been to Oreensburg for a certificate as mine boss, and tbat not getting it he bad felt mad. and going over to Kecksburg had got a. little boozy. Ho would on that occasion, probably, hare been under tbe influence of drink. Trying to Avoid Trouble. At this point thero was some interruption, due to a remark of Superintendent Lynch'. Representative Mnllin said that tbe committee was not there to precipitate any conflict be tween tbe firm and tbe employes. "So far as I know," said Mr. Lynch, "there is the best of feeling between tbe firm and tbe employes." i "It is strange," said Mr! Moorebead, "that the only subpesnas issued bave been to em. ploves; none bave been served on tbe firm." "Yes," rejoined Mr. Lynch, "and there has been a committee going around seeking to find out what tbey can against tbe firm." Then followed criticisms on the present mining law, and Senator Thompson said: "We are all agreed tbat tne existing mining law? both here and in the anthracite regions, is de fective. I suggest tbat every inspector here present do suggest such improvements to it as may occur to him, and make a joint report to this committee. We will wait a week or so for j on." He Helped In the Inspection. John Eaton, a miner and brother of tbe mine boss, was in the pit at the time of the explosion. He took one of tbe fire bosses places and went throngb from two to three flats, while Snaith took the rest. Snaith told him be wasn't to go into tbe old places, but be did so every morning. So man could make a carefnl examination of the mine in less than four hours. Tbere was plenty of work for three fire bosses. Keigbley paid one boss oil and told tbo others not to go in the mine on idle days. He never saw gas in tbe mine. Tbere were small feeders of gas in tbe mine. Snaith was burned at time of former explosion. George Peffer. an engineer, was burnt by gas while attending to a pump in tbe mine. Tbe fire boss had been there shortly before because he (Peffer) signed tbe report and tbe ink was not dry. Miner Carroll testified to the condition of tbe mine. He thought tho fire .boss was cul pable. He only saw three safety lamps at the mine. Snaith could take drink like any other man. There were once ibree tire bosses em ployed but two nf them had been laid off, as be was told, to save expenses. W. H. Dnrrali knew of a small feeder of gas in the head of 14 which would burn for half a minute. Small falls were frequent Stewart Gordon had been nve years in the mine and knew of two explosions. Saw Snaitb in mine morning of accident and took him to be sober. Tbe week before I saw gas in tbe "dip." The reduction on the nnmber of hands was about one-third. James Conlon salu tbat tbe men used to go to wort without waiting for fire boss. Thev looked at tbe face to see if it was rigbt Drank a Good Deal nt Times. Rob Gardner said Snaitb used to take a good deal of drink. He never saw the fire boss, and only knew room was safe when he got there. Snaith used to drink iu public He never saw tbe fire boss when going into tbe mine. Pat Doyle saw 2 feet of gas burning in tbe mine when he went in after Kvans was taken out burnt Tbere should be more fire bosses. One man conld not do tbe work. One-half tbe men did not know anything about lire marks. Abont 15 other witnesses gave evidence re garding tbe manner in wbich the mine was operated, and referring to the deceased fire boss with more or less candor. Peter Loutber, his son-in-law, banded in some strong testi monials in his favor. His opinion was that one man could not do tbe work required of his father-in-law. One Hungarian testified that he was working in a beading first in advance and had been told by Snaitb to lookout for himself as there was gas In tbe mine. The testimony given by tbe witnesses was all in tbe same direction as that noted above. When The Dispatch correspondent left the mine at 6 o'clock- tbe evidence ot tbe men bad Just closed. Senator Thompson said that tbey bid closed the inquiry at tbe mine, and would Lear tbo rest of the testimony in Harris burg. He said that Superintendent Keigbley, Mr. Lynch and Mine Boss Eaton had been ex amined, with tbe result tbat much wbich ap peared.doubtf ul bad been cleared away. They cave tbetr evidence in a straightforward and open manner, and with a desire to make tbe matter clear. The committee will leave for F.J.KiLivr, IT'S SOMETHING NEW.

M'CLELLAND TO NTKTRK The Soho Iinnncr Makes a Duslness-IJJce Proposition to Edward. , Tbere is likely to be another interesting foot race here before long, because of tbe following business-like challenge of E. C. McClelland. Tbe latter called at this office last evening and said: "Ed Nlklrk has been wanting to run me a race of three-quarters of a mile for a long time, while I have been holding out for one mile. Now, I will make a fair proposition to him. 1 will split tbe difference and run blm a rare ot seven-eighths of a mile for 250 a side. If be thinks well ot tbis, 1 will meet bim at The Dispatch office Saturday night at 8 o'clock prepared to wake a match." Tbe above challenge seems in all respects a fair one. At any rate, it would be satisfactory if these two prominent runners could get definitely matched. THEY'LL HAVE TO MEET HTM. Pat Farrell's Backer Sends a Definite Tele gram to an Eastern Club. John Quinn, tbe 'backer of Pat Farrell, wired the President of ( the Hudson County Athletic Club last evening to the effect that Farrell will fight Carroll, of Brooklyn, for a purse of $5,000. Mr. Quinn said to tbe writer: 'I nave sent tbis telegram because Carroll's party are trying to arrange a match with Fitz simmons. Carroll will not fight tbe Australian a limited number of rounds, but wants to unlit blm to a finish. Farrell will'figbt bim to a finish. This will show at least that we aro not talking for talk's sake. Parrell is ready for any of them." Disappointed Magnates. Speaking of tbe baseball magnates in Chi cago, tbe Times of tbat aity says: Both O'Neill and Itobison are after players, and both hope to pick up a few in Chicago. O'Neill has set bis mind pn Van Haltren and tbe Cleveland magnate is just as anxious to secure tbat player, bnt Van Haltren is conceded to be one of tbe most useful men in the business, and Anson will surprise the community if he gives bim up. Robison has no better than tbe nucleus of a team, and O'Neill's onttlt needs strengthening in half a dozen places, ltls not probable that either will secure Wilmot and Carroll irom Chicago. "The Beforeo's Statement. Enos Quinn, tbe referee of the Homewood Park shouting match Saturday, called at this office, last evening and stated ,that, while he measured tbe charges into tho guns. Horsficld bad possession of bis gun quite a while after it was charged. Mr. Quinn also contends there was more shot in Horifield's gun than he, Quinn, put in. Each partv having made a statement this controrersy must cease. . Sporting Notes. THE Boston Association club will be known as tbe lted btocklnss.

Italians Put on Trial for the Murder of a Countryman AU bnt One Discharged and This Trial Continues Other Work of the Judges. Tbe trial for murder of Josenh Higgins, 'John and Anthony Jfaliki, John Andrelis and John Atches, for the killing of Michael Gazowski, was began in Criminal Court yes terday morning. District Attorney Johnson and Alex EL Goss represented the Common wealth, while Messrs. Moore, Newlin and Friedman appeared for tbe defendants. The murder occurred on the night of October 5 at McKee'a Bocks, where tbe mon lived in a sbanty boat. Together with tbe dead man and some others the defendants were . drinking beer and whisky, and at one stage of the orgie Oazowski was accused of stealing some of the beer. After fighting for a time he and some few others were chased off the boat, when tbey turned and threw stones at the boat. One of the inmates then went ont and fired a shot at those on the bank above, and a bullet penetrated Oazowski' s stomacb, causing bis deatb the next day. Dis trict Attorney Johnson reviewed the facts and asked for a verdict less than first degree, as tbe evidence he was to produce, be said, was not strong enongb for the higher degree. The stories ot a nnmber of witnesses were heard, including Dominick Barto. who testified to having purchased the two kegs of bepr and taking it to the boat wbere tbe fight started, and to tbem all being ordered ontby tbo owner, John Mallki. The fight tben besran, and tbe beer was stolen. Hisrgtns said somebody was throwing stones, and ran to get cartridges. At tbis point District Attorney Johnson said be would not askfor tbe conviction of any of tbe defendants but Hlsgin-". and a verdict ot not guilty was taken as to the others. Higgins was then put on the stand and testi fied that he did not encourage the others to shoot. He ran into a back room when tbe stones were thrown and did not return. A man named Leonius or Levanius went ont to the end of the boat and fired at tbe crowd on tbe bank. Leonlns is not one of the defendants. By the testimony of the others it appeared tbat Hteginswas never known to carry a pistol, while Leonlns was always with one. When told tbat a man had been shot he disappeared and has not since been seen. At this point conrt adjourned lor supper. When conrt reconvened, at 630, W. D. Moore, Jsq. made an address in favor of tbe defense, asking for acquittal. He was followed by Dis trict Attorney Johnston, who argued that the evidence showed the shooting to be uncalled for. wlthont reason, without provocation, and wltbont justification. Judge Stowe's charge was. as usual, directly to. the point. Tbe jury retired, and the Court waited for a time for a verdict. No agreement having been reached, however, by 8:15 o'clock, the court adjourned until thi? morning. TO-DAYS C0UET CAEEBDAB. list of Cases to Be Called Before the Judges.
