ceremony. As though to make up
for the long period of inattention ,
Doislbly of doubt as to the bridge ,
Brooklyn burst forth to-day in royal
style as an entorlai er of her dis
tinguished guests. Brooklyn haa been
'rarely honored with n visit ol the
prcoldent , yet to day it was nn
mlatakablo thr.t 'the chief mui'lstr to
of the nntiou waa bnt an adjunct of
the great event and not hhmolf the
principal attraction. The chatter
about the onourrencn of the bridge
opening on Qafon Victoria's birthday -
/ day ia only nuiudng now that the
JP great ceremony Is over , but is simply
| fair to remember that while the bridge
, P trustees had no thought of honoring
her Brltanio majesty in the selection
of the day , they unconsciously en
listed the cleric of the weather on
their Bide by it. "Qaeen'u weather"

WASHINGTON , May 1M Judpo Advocate -
vocato Bur , if ho was bout to Phila
delphia by the war department to
make examination of the judicial pro
ceedings and nil papers in the Nicker-
son divorce case , has returned and
will forthwith prepare a report to bo
submitted to the adjutant general ,
The investigation , cfliosis any , cannot
fall to result in the court-martial of
Major Nlckerson , for conduct unbe
coming an oflioor and gentleman.
POINTS IN THE CASE.
Col. Niokorson is a major on the
retired list of the army. Ho wan an
officer of volunteers at Gettysburg ,
and was shot through the body. He
was taken np for dead , but survived ,
and was again wounded when , as an
oflicor "of the regular army , ho entered
the service against the Indians on the
western frontier. Hit gallant service
and the Influence of General Crook
secured for him promotion to the ad
jutant general's department. Hn
came hero from the department of the
Columbia A few years ago and wont
on duty , but ho was not disposed to
yield proper obodlenco to the authori
ty of Adjutant-General Drnm.and last
year he asked to bo placed on the re
tired list. Col. Mitchell , of General
Hancock's staff , succeeded him in the
adjutant-general's department ,
Nlckerson ha a been something cf a
swell hero. Ho is a member of the
Metropolitan club , and has gene much
into society. Ho owns a houoo front
ing on Dapont Chclo , near the resi
dence of Mr. Blaluo. Ho bus involved
himself in a most ULploasant scandal
by procuring a fraudulent dlvoroa from
hla wife , a moat estimable lady , and
marrying a young woman In Baltimore ,
whom ho haa brought to his house hero
as its inlslrecn. A letter was to-day
addressed to him from the war depart-
mcnt , ordering l.ioi not to luavo the
city except with the permission of tha
secretary of war. In ordar to obtain
the dlvorca Nickercon stated to the
court that hla wlfo had deserted him
and that ho was a resident of Phila
delphia. Neither statement had a
particle of trnth. Mrs. Nickarson haa
sent the whole correspondence between
herself and her husband homo from
Europe , and is herself daily expected
jcr a..Ivj IE J ii TotJc. t
She wont to Europe with her Ilttlo
daughter over throe years ago at the
urgent solicitation of Nlckorson , who
argued that they could educate the
daughter more cheaply in that way.
He told her that if she remained hero
they wonM bo subjected to a largo
oxpunso by havlug to keep house and
entertain frocly , but if loft alone ho
could live quietly in bachelor quar
ters , while she in Earopa could aho
live cheaply , and could go to different
points where the host teachers in lan
guages and other accomplishments
could bo obtained for the daughter.
Mrs Nlckorson foil into the trap and
went abroad. As coon as she
wan out of the country N'ck- '
croon began to plan a
severance of the relations
between them. Ho wrote to her and
sent her money , but after a time
stopped writing to her and sent letters
only tj the little girl. It is said that
Mrs. Nlokcrson wished to return , bnt
that he refused to send her funds
enough at any ono time to enable her
to do so ,
The correspondence shows an artful
scheme to mluload and cheat his wife.
His hope must have been that when
she discovered the fraud eho would
consent to it , and lot him remain with
the newly married wife. Bat Mrs.
Nicksrson sent his letters to the secretary -
rotary of war , and Nlckorson will un
doubtedly bo dismissed from the
army.

DENVKU , May 24. Mr. Bush's nix
thousand word answer to ox-Senator
Tabor's complaint , by which ho seeks
to recover a claim of 20,000 , ia cer
tainly , in point of legal phraieology ,
unique , and no doubt will acceptably
fulfill tho.purpotoa of its being a coun
ter charge. The $10,000 claim is thus
explained : "Defendant further states
that lu 1882 plaintiff ( labor ) wan and
for 22 years had boon a married man ,
husband of ono wlfo , and father of n
f&niily ; said wife was then living in
Denver , Colorado , was of sound
mind , good health , and honaatly and
falthtuily devoted to the plain
tiff ; that for some time prior
thereto said plaintiff bacamo enam
ored of another woman , not his wlto ,
commonly called "Baby Doe , " on
whom ho had sot his heart with all
the ardor oi a glowing passion which
characterizes an old mac's icfidolity
and his yearning after groou fields
and pastures naw in matrimonial ven
tures. Thereupon ho applied to defendant -
fondant , beaooahlng him by the love
the plaintiff bore said Doe , by hla
earnest deilro to possess her on his ,
and his alone , by his deslro to break
away from the bouda which for twenty
years had bound him to hla wlfo , that
ho should exert himself iu hia behalf ,
for , as plaintiff informed defendant ,
odd Dee only partially recip
rocated the affection and endear
ments bestowed on her by
plaintiff ; that thereupon , on the 8 h
day of March last , said plaintiff pro
posed to defendant to enlist the sur-
vlcan of defendant to aid him in all
legal aud proper moans , both lu pro-
caring said wlfo of plaintiff to sue for
aud obtftla a divorce from plaintiff , erin
in case that could not bo effected , to
aid plaintiff in all lawful waya to ob
tain proof sufficient to enable plaintiff
to procure a divorce from eaid wife ,
and olao aid him in effecting a mar-
rUgo with said Doe ; that this defen
dant , to thin end , should look np and
Beoaro testimony by affidavit of par-
iias nh" 'could tf tif # to cv s com
mitted oromlttod within 20 years last
past by the wlfo of plaintiff , which
would bo actionable , and which
would enable plaintiff to procure
divorce from his wife , and then and
there ertld plaintiff promised to pay
defendant in on.ro the result of his
efforts in that behalf should result in
divorce from said wlfo and marriage
with Bald above named D jo , to pay for
such services the full oum of $10,000 ,
Defendant horn claims he paid out of
his own funds at plaintiffs request
largo Bumi of money for uorvlcca ren
dered iu that behalf , among which in
mentioned 8250 to ono Goodrich ,
which your reporter la creditably in
formed is the celebrated export di
vorce lawyer of Chicago ; $1,000 to
ono Dudley for services unspeci
fied. Defendant claims to have
faithfully and successfully performed
all those norvloos and for which ho
still remains unpaid , Defendant
further Bays In the month of March ,
1882 , plaintiff became Imprjeaed with
the idea that ho waa at that time an
Incipient statesman iu embryo , and
that it needed only the vivifying in-
fiusnco of popularity to bring him
him out. That in the fullness ol
time by liberal expenditure of push ,
pluck , pelf , and puff , ho might bo
able by book or crook to obtain the
requisite number of votes In the logls
laturo of the state of Oaloradc
at the next session thereof to ou-
able hlw to tcka a saat bj
the aide ot great aud good mon ir
the halls of the United Statci
senate and to immortalleo the name ol
Tabor , that compared with him tin
( rent trinity of Clay , Galhoun anc
Webster should bo forgotten , and al
lenaer living men loat in the brllllano ;
of his senatorial career. And hi
thereupon proposed to defendant , if h <
would at all proper times and placen , ti
tbo best of his ability , help plaintiff ti
emerge from the obecutity of Callfor
nla Gulch and embryonic state afore
said iuto the realms of Bti\tcsuianshl |
and the status of a statesman , hi
would , in case ho was rmcceee
ful , pay defendant ? 5,000. Defendant
fondant claims to hav3 faltii
fully and successfully performed al
these services for which ho still re
mains unpaid , and that In the montl
of January last ho paid at the rcquon
of plaintiff to mombora of the logisla
tuio and others various sums of mono
to about nixty different people , i
sums of $5 to $170 , aggregating abac
$1,500. Defendant's attorney Inti
mated to your reporter that all lurg
sums used for election purposes wer
paid by Tabor himsolf.

ho would not weaken hla force by the

When ho starts back wo will hoar

"How long do you think it will bo
before ho returns ? "
"Crook wrote to mo that ho expect

as one ha already been occupied by
the expedition , I confidently expect
to hear of hla return within four
wcoki. lie knows bosfwlmt ho haste

estimate the numerical strength of the

"What do you think of the prospect

after the Apaohos are oonquorodl"
' 'There is now no indication of any
of the reservation tribes breaking out :
all aooin to bo well contoutod and
poacoablo. The apaches are really
the only race that has never been sub
dued. The Mexicaus rocnntly killed
all tholr women aud children , and
they are desperate and will fight to the
bitter ond. If the troops are anrprliad
or entrapped , they cau hope for no
mercy , bnt all will bo killed. Bnt
Crook's scouts are BO familiar with
the country that there is hardly a pos

CHIOAOO , May 24. At the Iowa
trnuklluo association commlnslon there
was submitted a dispatch from Com- I *
mlealonor Fink announcing that east
ern trunk lines had decided to stop all
pro-rating arrangements oi California
business , and that hereafter they will I
charge on nnch business tholr regular , '
proportion between Chicago or Mlula-
slppl rlvor points and the seaboard. . '
This important action waa taken by I
the eastern trunk lines booauco here * \
toforo Commissioner Fink was per
mitted to direct the route for west
bound California business. Slnco
the extension of the Southern
Pacific to Now Orleans , Contra !
Pacific people have boon diverting all
the business they could to go by
steamer to Now Orleans aud thence
by rail to San Francisco. Beside * .
thlo , the Central Pacific , for many
years past , has made contracts with- ' .
California shippers , who pledge them
selves to iniiko no shipments whatever ,
'
by the Pacific Mall Steamship line , }
giving thorn rates about one-third of i
the published tariff rates. Thus A _ I
shipper who would not make exclusive
contracts with the Central Pacific waa
charged about three times an high '
rates as other shippers who did make '
a contract with that road. The trunk , .
lines have pro rated ou contract rates
thus sacrificing much of tholr oarnlngo
on such business. Hereafter they
will charge tholr full proper ! ions on.
published tariff rates
On account of this notion the roadsr
from Chicago and Mississippi river
points west will have to stop their
pro-rating arrangement with the Pa-
clfio roads also , as they cannot afford
to accept a pro-rato only on contract
rates , and then pny the caaturn roada ,
tholr lull proportions of published
rates , After discussing the matter
for some tlmo , during which oplnlontr
were irooly expressed that the action
of the trunk linen was just and proper
and calculated to break up the
discrimination heretofore practiced by
the Central Pacific , the Kommlaalouor
wan instructed to request the various.
