Chicago, July 17.—A case ol un usual depiavity’ on the part of a husband was brought out yester- lay in a justice court. William Brown anti his pretty young wife were arrested on complaint of Mrs. Kate Murray, of No. 669, 23d street t'he wife said she wa, married 10 Brown about eight months ago, and since that time has been continually abused. He has not worked a week du:irtg all that time, hut has compelled her to steal, w.ii'e he ptwnedtlie articles thus obtained. Flic buiglary at the house ot Mrs. Kate Murray was planned by him, and he tvtn went so far ■ to open the Iront dooi and compel her to go through the house while he remaned at the entrance as guard. It was known that there was $600 in money in the house, but the poor girl did not succeed in finding it, and relumed with a hawk book containing $100, t quantity of clothing and an orna mental clock. After getting the property they went home, and on the way he gave her a severe beat ing for not finding the $600. The -tolen property was taken to a pawnshop, and from the descrip tion given by the pawnbroker the guilty parties were apprehended. Brown was held to the criminal court, and the young wife was re leased and sent home. BETTER THAN IT SEEMED. A New Swindling Dodge Worked by a at n u t West. Altai' 1 fo.n-a-.i A | leasant faced, gentlemanly young stranger walked into one o’f the most sw*ll of Kearney street’s magnificent drinking places recent ly and called fora punch. When the concoction was completed he raised it to his lips at the same time that he tossed a dollar on the bar in payment. The coin fell like the hunk ot lead that it was, and the sound produced by its contact with bar was as flat as the keicntng of a frog in the water. The sound at- (■acted the attention ol two or three of the- poung man’s neighbors as they eyed him with some curiosity, as if wondering what sort of a vei- dant he was to attempt to pass such a coin. The barkeeper simply glanced at it and smiled, and wait ed for the stranger to produce a substitute. The dollar piece did look disreputable and no mistake. It was battered and bruised, had a plug in one corner, and the milling around the edge was in a state of sad decay, while a ided to all this was a color that betokened it to be lead from Leadville, and no mis take. “What is the matter?” asked the patron of the house and proprietor of the queer piece of bogus. The crowd laughedT and the bar keeper suggested that another coin be substituted for the bad dollar. ‘ Oh, that’s it, is it?” responded the gentlemanly young man, pre tending to examine the date on his unsavory profier. “Well, don’t you know I’m glad you refused it? That dollar is worth five times its ( ace value to any one who has com mon sense.” Two or t ! ree of the party grab bed a look at the date, and then iattghed again. “Why, you are fo-.dish, young man, said one of them, pityingly. “As money, a bushel basket of those things would not be worth one dime. I thought at first it might have an old date, but if it w re coined while Noah was afloat iothe ark it would not be worth more than it is, which is simply nothing.” THE REVOLUTION IN MEXICO.

Last evening it was reported that they had met the combined forcesof Col. Cavajos and Hermandez, fi 1 ty strong, and had been signally de feated, \yith heavy loss in killed «nd wounded. Pedro Davila, Adolfo Gonzales and Topias, with many of their followers, are prison ers, and all bandits with the revo lutionists are being killed as soon as captured. There has been no report as to the loss among the troops. The revolutionists were neatly tripped. Part of the revolutionists have taken refuge in the American cut off above Santa Maria, and Sheriff Buton, of Cameron county, and Ifis men, aided by Mexican cavalry, have gone to raid it. It is reported that three revolu tionists previously reported as cap tured and brought into Matamaras last night will be shot in the morn ing. 1 he Santa Maria, Texas, corres pondent of the Globe-Democrat, telegiaphs that parties from the other side of the Rio Grande report a gang of outlaws from this side, under General Antonio Milstead, entered Peladas ranch night before last, outraged some of the w omen and robbed the citizens of their arms.

According to the law a license has to prescribe the person who can sell and the place at which he must sell.

MUTTON PLENTIFUL. George Boothe purchased a flock tf twenty-two sheep to give the commence ment visitors all the mutton chops they could eat while in our city. He turned the aforesaid muttons into pastures green, but to his utter dismay when he went out to kill a few, he fonnd that the dogs had got into the flock and nineteen large fat sheep were lying around over the pasture cold in death. Mr. Booth being a good member of the church did not say much, but he thought a grea deal, and in a very short time. His firs visit after he came back was to the drag store, and a small bottle was f urchased that had marked in Lig black etiers on the label “poison.” This was' taken ou and put in pieces of beef, and scattered! around the pasture. The result was very satisfactory. Dogs of high and low degree eat thereof, and soon afterwards their bodies strewed the ground as thick as the sheep. Not content with poison ing the dogs Winchester rifles were brought out and Sunday the sharp crack of the rifle could be heard and many a valuable dog given- to sheep killing hit he dust nations in the h?n<U ot the queen Th; meeting was held In Mr. Glad stone’s official residence, in Dowing street.

New, has just been received of a terrible colli* on a mile north ot Cuckville s'ation, on the Nashville and Decatur railroad. A special engine going north ran into the Co lumbia accommodation, killing six or seven, among them A. L. Rob inson, former ticket, agent; Engi neer Beech, of the special; Engi neer Lauman and Fireman Roberl Brown, oftht accommodation, and the baggage master, Monroe Wil son. With th.s the bar-keeper felt im pelled to give the young man some kind advice, to the effect that he had better not make any more at tempts to pass the dizzy thing, or he would be liable to arrest for shoving the queer- “That’s all right, gentlemen; I’ll bet any of you $10 that that coin is worth five times its face value, just to show you that I know what 1 am about.” “Oh, we don’t want your money,’ put in the barkeeper; ‘‘just pay lor that drink and say nothing more about it.” “Very well, sir, I’ll pay for the drink with any sort of money you like, but when you grow wiser you will be sorry that you did not take your payment out of that worthy but m suied coin,” and with this the owner of the violation against the law of counterfeits produced a wallet tailly bursting with its horde of bills and gold, and passed over a halt t agle for the punch. ■ The sight of his wealth at once caught the ciowd, two of them immediate ly offered to accept the bet he had proposed a tew seconds before l’he young fellow pretended to hesitate, and tfien insinuated that they should give him odds on thy wager. “Very well, since you are so clever a numismatist, I will give you a chance for your money; I will bet you $20 to $10 that that coin is not worth $5 to any one ex cept yourself. Of course you can not be the judge of its worth, as you are betting on it.” “Well, that is fair, although I would prefer to appraise the value of my own goods. I will take your wager, and leave it to any common sense man that you may select.” “Done.” “Bet me, too, on the same terms?” asked another of the party, and an other, and still another. • The young man accepted all the offers, and tnen offered to wage the barkeeper drinks for the party on the result. The drink mixer [ac cepted, and piled $to on top of the liquids. A respectable old gentle man was called from the other end of the bar to hold stakes and act as referee. The money once deposi ted and the terms of the bet ex plained, the half tipsy air that the young fellow carried suddenly dis appeared, and with his penknife he carefully priod the dollar apart. The two halves split like the case of a watch, and in the centre was a lit tle excavation containing a splen didly genuine 85 gold piece. The releree passed over the staxes with out a word. The barkeeper made a bluff at a smile, but it seemod more of a counterfeit than the poor old dollar. The three \oung men who bet fled in search «.f fresh air. The young man quietly fclded up his dollar, took his drink, remarked that it was a pleasant day and went, letving atrail of thick black gloom behind him that could have supplied the town where Ban Fox got beat for the Suburban. Burled in consecrated Ground—Archbishop Fabre and the Verdict. Montreal, Qle., July 16.— Great excitement has been created here among Catholics over burial of a suicide in consecrated ground and with all the usual last offices ol the church. The facts in the case are briefly as follows: L. B. De- Gonzague, a native ol France, a re spected merchant 'in Montreal, be came financially embarrassed, and, owing to morbid feelings of pride, did not apply to the friends who would readily have made up a much larger amount than the sum he re quired. On Wednesday morning DeGonzague shot himself through the head in Island Park. On the body was found a card stating the cause lor the suicide, and request- • n j to be buried from Notre Dame Hjspital, of which he had been a nunificent benefactor. Friends a' once sought Archbishop Fabre a d interceded to have his bodv buried in consecrated ground. Thi" was at first refused, but being varmly pressed, the Archbishop postponed his decision until after the verdict of the coroner’s jury. Although all the evidance at the inquest went to show that De Gon zague was perlectlv sane at the moment he committed suicide un der temporary aberration was ren dered. Armed with a verdict, an influ ential deputation again sought the brchbishop and obtained his con sent that the body should be buried with the full rights of the church. The matter has eocited a great deal ol talk among all classes here. SAM JONES' RIVAL. REFUSED TO WED HER. - ROPE WALKING.

Bloomington, Ill., July 16.—On Friday evening last Mrs. Ida Clarke a very attractive young Protestant dressmaker, espoused the Hebrew faith. The ceremony was perform ed by Rabbi Schaumburg and was witnessed by numerous Blooming- ten people. It was understood that she took the step because of her engegement with the young He brew named Holland. They had been keeping company for several months, and a hippy wedding seemed in prospect. The nuptials were to have been cejebrated this evening at the bride's home. The young lady and her family had made all prepara tions, including wardrobe and wed ding repast, and friends had been iuvited. This morning the groom utterly refused to be married. Rab bi Schauraberg tried to induce him to ( keep his promise, but he was firm in his refusal. He gives no reoson for his act'0.1. •ERIOUSLY HURT.

Dr. Lowry was called in and found that the child’s scull was mashed on the side which will in all probability cause its death. How S. W. Wesley, the Cowboy Revivalist Preached to Kansas city Sinners. I have got tired of this two-bits religion, that has a spurt of a revi val for six weeks and then goes to sleep, and says that the world can go to hell for the balance of the year, as far as it is concerned. There was a man once who said he could stand any persecution that Christ had. He said he could prove it, only he didn’t wish to go so far as to be crucified. He was asked he was willing to make the test, and was cautioned that Christ prayed for his assailants and for gave them, and that he would have to do likewise in order to do wfiat he boasted. Well, the day finally came for the trial to be made, and the aflair began. He started down the street toward the judgment hall named for the occasion. The crowd of citizens hooted him and railed at him, and .the little boys spit on his freshly blackened boots, but he muttered: “Forgive them, for they scarcely know what they are about.” A young man tripped him, but he arose from the hard brick pavement and said: “I’ll for give him; he knows no better. As he was walking up the steps of the judgment hall, a fellow threw a rotten egg, striking the would-be Jesus under the eye, the contents running down his face and beard. In a spirit of meekness he took out his handkerchief and mopped off his face and heard. Then turning to his persecutor, he said: "My friend, this Jesus business will soon be over, ancl you will get the dam'dest lickin’ you ever got in your lile.” I knew a man named Thompson once who went to preaching all of sudden. The church wanted to hear his experience, because the leading men thought it would be very instructive for young Chris tians. So Brother Thompson be gan: “I’ve been called up to tell my experience, ah, and I’ll tell you how I come about it, ah. I got to think ing about religion, ah, and I went out in the woods, ah and sat for long time on a stump, ah. There thought, ah, and I thought, ah. meditated on the wickedness of the world, ah. Pretty soon I looked across a little brook, ah, and I saw Brother Jones’ old jack walking obout in his barn, lot, ah, and he opened his mouth, ah, and said, ah ‘H-e-e. T-h-o-m pson! He, ah Go preach, ah! Go preach, ah Go preach, ah!'” I tell you, brethren, there are lots of these small-calibred jackass oreachtrs. 5 tempt to sell at the Kimball house under a transfer of that license, the city claimed, would be illegal. KIM.FULLV DODGING THE QJJKg- TION. The case came up in the Supe rior Court this morning at nine o’clock, and an expectant group of lawyers and citizens gathered about the dramatic personal to see what the result would be. Judge Clark called the case, the attorneys announced ready and the hearing proceeded. Ml Hoke Smith of counsel for he Kimball House, reviewed the circumstances of the case before the court, stating that at the time ae on was brought against them by the city, they were selling beer by the quart and allowing it drank on lie premises. This had been done however with the knowledge on their part that the Mayor and Coun cil had expressed the opinion that it could be drank on the premises. To st p this the city had arrested them. To protect themselves in what they believed a legitimate pur suit ol their business they had filed their hill und procured the Court’s estraining artier. Since that time they had in deference to the public sentiment voluntarily stopped all drinking on their premises, and for the past week had simply exercised their clear legal right ot selling by the quart under the terms of their li cense, and had prohibited all drink- 'ng on their premises. As they had elinquislted the right far which they contended in filing their bill, and as there no longer remained any necessity for the Court’s restraining order, they now moved to dismiss their hill, in the belief that they would be r.o further molested, blit would be allowed to proceed in their legitimate business of selling hy tho quart under the terms of their business, and would not need to appeal to equity any further. An order was taken dismissing the bill and the lawyers and specta tors withdrew badly disappointed! and without having had determined any of the points thoy thought would be argued. * COUNTERVEIT MONEY IN GKEKNE. The arrest of Mr. J. H. B»wlcs, in Woodville, on the'charge of counterfeiting, was doubtless a source of surprise to his neighbors, as it is said he is rather a promi nent man there. Mr. J. C. Bone, for whom a warrant was also sworn out, eluded arrest, and it is thought among the officials here that he is the more guilty party. Mr. Bowles has given bond in the sum ®f 8500, and the hearing will be had before U. S. Commissioner Haight on the 2Sth inst. THE GUHERNATOIUAL CONVENTION. Speaking of the 28th inst., it is on that day the gubernatorial con vention meets here to take the last step in the most wonderful cam paign ever seen in Georgia. There is much speculation as to the course the Bacon men will pursue in the convention. Some maintaining tba by that time all the bitterness of the campaign will be past,and in a spir it of unity and good temper Gen. Gordon will be nominated unani mously; while othres think the Ba con men will insist in casting their ballots for the man ot their choice. Representative’s hall is being got ten in readiness -for the occasion. The only person I have heard nam ed for chairman of the convention is ex-Gov. James M. Smith. McNutt, Ga., July 17th, 1SS6.— In justice to myself, I will say that Mr. Duke Hamilton, in his reply, was too arrogant in accusing me of bringing a “foul charge” against ■im. Mr. VV. A.
