Dxs Moinxs, la , August 5 —The courts here are just now unraveling the mysteries of acurious case. Several years ago, a man named D. G. Horner came to this county with a wife, purchased a farm, and amassed considerable wealth. Oct 18,1879, he died, leaving his wife and a young child. An administrator of his estate was appointed, and, at the urgent request of the widow, the property was disposed of as rapidly as possible, and converted Into gash. The administrator had nearly completed bls work, and was about to pay the widow the proceeds of the estate, when rumors came to him that the alleged widow was not the actual widow of the deceased. Boon after camp one Mary Mannauh, who represented her self as the guardian of Busan Horner, the lawful wife of Horner. Mrs. Mannaugh engaged counsel, and began an action in the Probate Court to set aside all proceedings and have the estate awarded to the said Busan. Mrs. Mannaugh alleges—and says she is prepared to prove—that the said Busan was married to Horner in Waukesha county, Wiscomdn, April 12, IBeB,l Beß, „ b X p * ri,h pr,ett > f»iker I. Joseph Quinn; that, soon after their marriage, they went to Chicago, whert Hornet entered upon a course of riotous living, and beat and otherwise maltreated his wife: that fittest: months afterwards he took his wife back to her relatives, she being afflicted with a loathsome disease, and broken in health and body; that he then abandoned her, and subsequently, wUhtbe woman who now claims to be his widow,eatne to Iowa; that the mind of Bnsan succumbed to the torturing strain, and she became a maniac and was .teSr l her relatives and friends. The guardian EX^ISSSr^SSS» r Lorawum, Auguftt - B.—Yesterday a

committee from the moulder’s union wait. «1 up-m Preskfent Npim of tire Ohio Falls ear company, M Jeffersonville, to demand an increase of twenty-five eeaf per day hi wages. At present the monk era are being paid 25, ahd they claim that other manufacturers in Indiana are paying >2 60. It is understood the reply of SfMragve wm unsatisfactory, and to-day the men, after a cast b made, will quit work. It was reported that a strike of moulders in the Louisville and Nashville railway shops had something to do with the proposed strike on the other ride of the rivet, but how true this is cannot be ascertained, as the men positively refuse to give any information whatever, in icbiton to the matter. It is known that a couple of Louisville strikers obtained employment in" the Ohio Falls car worts, and Sprague* having been furnished with a black list du which their names appeared, refused to keep them in the employe of his works. There are nearly twelve hundred employed in the car works, and as each department is dependent upon the other it is probable that if the moulders strike the whole establishment will cloee. Striking moulders from the Louisville and Nashville railroad shops in this city expected to have their demands acceded to, and return to work, but they were disappointed and are still out. Their connection with the oar works still complicates the situation and will probably cause a serious str.ke.

London, August 5. —The English steamer from Vera Crus brings the following: City or Mxxico, July 80.—The noted pronouneiado, Manuel Marquiz, after having been defeated by General Atero, near Urea, left Sonora and entered Arizona. July 18th. On July 18th an American force started to drive him back, and the latter, upon the instigation of the Mexican authorities, wm arrested within the American line, al Catobazea, where he was attempting to organize a fillibttstering party. The proas of the capital very urgently express the hope that the American authorities will deliver to the Mexican authorities that constant disturber. Although the election has passed, the opposers of Gonzales are untiring. Many newspapers are very threatening, declaring they prefer war before Gouzales. A revolutionary fermentation continues in many states, especially in Jalisco, Senalza and Guanayato. Notwithstanding all the threats, however, congress will declare Gonzales to be elected president. The ring leaders ot the riot at Guanyato, where Gen. Gonzales was fired at, have been arrested. The cause of the riot was a deep tmtegfiolsm between the local ad. ministration favoring the candidacy .of Benitz, and supporters of Gonzales. Official news, relative to the elections of senators and deputies, shows that all political factions will be well represented in the 10th congress. The deputies in the late congress, who voted to delay the passage of railroad bills, have all failed of reelection.

He replied that he had been stationed at Mobile. In the course of the conversation she stated that Aldrich was her husband. To this Doneldee replied that he was already married and the father of a family. The young woman loath to believe this, followed Aldrich to -Mobile, where she found him. He professed great affection tor her, admitted that be was married, and urged her to deny their marriage for the present, until he could gjt rid of his present wife, as without this denial he would be prosecuted for bigamy, and lose bis position as well.
