Important Supreme Court Dceimon Affecting Patents Income Tux Will H" Larner than Expected, and Will Conic Easy Seamen Rescued. Mra. Vanderbilt Granted a Divorce. A decree of absolute divorce was grant ed Tuesday by Justice Barrett of the New York Supreme Court to Alva E. Vander hilt from William K. Vanderbilt. The testimony and the report of Referee Kelly are sealed. The name of the eo-respond-ent is unknown. By the terms of the decree the custody of the three children. Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt. William K. Vanderbilt. Jr., and Harold S. Vanderbilt, is given to Mrs. Vanderbilt. A liberal allowance is granted Mrs. Vanderbilt. The complaint in the action was served

upon Mr. Vanderbilt Jan. 3 lust, and shortly afterward an answer was tiled in behalf of Mr. Vanderbilt. He raised the issue as to the allegations of the divorce ; by denying in his answer the charges made in tlie complaint. ami upon that issue tlie ci;se was sent to Mr Kelly as referee. The referee's report finds that the a llega t ions of Mrs. Vanderbilt st forth in the complaint are true, and that Mr. Vanderbilt has been guilty of the nets ■ charged against him. Neither the com- ! plaint, nor the answer, nor the report of the referee, m>r the testimony is up n : for inspection. The only paper that can I be seen is the decree of the court. This, j in addition to setting forth the facts as above stated, finds that Mr. Vanderbilt ii< man of considerable means and well ( able to provide for his wife and children, j and that the wife is entitled to a suitable ' provision tor the supiMirt of herself and | the maintenance and education of the } chiliinn. The woman in the ease was i the notorious Nellie NeU-tretter. a Wellknown woman of Paris, of Hutch birth. j PtitcntH Do Not Hold. The case of the Bate Refrigerator < on pany against I'ram is Sulzberger A Co . upon whit h the question of American pat entH expire when foreign patents 1 have been previously issued, Wax decided at Washington in an exhaustive opinion i by Justice Harlan of the I , S Supreme i Court. It is estimated that imt L-- than j $t 1.000.0<M1 of capital hinges on the de. ion. which determines the status of mmo valuable patents. The court held that the invention for which Bate rvceiiid apt i ent was previously patented in a foreign < country and that the Foiled Stan - pa: ent expired with the foreign patent Tim ! decision is against the electric and other ; patents involved in the decision of tin* suit. There was no dissension. The i.m- . involves the const "net ion of section IVm i of the Revised Statutes, which provi b , that “every patent granted for an inven . tion which has bun previou-ly patented in a foreign country shall lie so limited as I to expire at the same time ns the foreign j putent, or if there be more than one, nt I the same time with the one having tie shortest term, and in no case shall it be ! in force more than seventeen yem-."

NATIONAL SOLONS. REVIEW OF THEIR WORK AT WASHINGTON. Detailed Proceedings of Senate and House—Bills Passed or Introduced in Either Branch —Questions of Moment to the Country at Large. The Legislative Grind. After sharp debate in the Senate Wednesday, the financial issue which had blocked the progress of the appropriation bills was swept away by the withdrawal of both Mr. Gorman's amendment and Mr. Mills' proposition to repeal the law., authorizing the issue of bonds. The day ; was wasted in the House, so far as the purposes for which the day was set aside i were concerned, namely, to consider bills | reported from tie Committee on I’ublie ' Buildings and Grounds. The conference reports on the bill to prohibit the importa- . lion of goods in bond through the United | States into the Mexican free zone, and on I . tlie pension and post office appropriation - । bills, were agreed to. Several pension and other bills < f minor importance were passed by unanimous -onsent. i 1 he Senate Thursday passed the sundry l civil bill, invbnii-m the items apprepriating over S.>.< hfithM| io,- sugar bounties. y Ihe legislative, executive and judicial api propriation biL was also passed. In a Sfieecfi in the Senate Mr. Chandler declared Senators Murjdiy, Roach and Martin had been ele ted by fraud. The House 1 decided to further insist on its disngreenient to the Senate amendment to (he diplomatic bill providing for a cable to Hawaii Senator Hill, «>f New York, bitterly scored Senator Cha miler, of New Hampshire, I' riday for his merciless attack upon Senator Roach. Senator Morgan's strong ’ opposition prevented an api»ropriation to defray expenses of the Bering Sea arbitrators. The Senate has confirmed W. L. Wilson as postmaster general and Judge Shmniter as ; n assistant judge in the , ('hieago district. Bills to proto, t or kill i seals; to pay West Virginia its share of . refunded (ax. and the Senate anti-lottery bill were passed by the House. The naval appropriation bill was passed , Saturday by the Senate after it had been ! amended to provide for the building of i but two battleships. The appropria:ion ; for ('lm ago's new post office building was I cut down to by tlie e inference | eommitlee. Tl <• Senate receded from the j Hawaiian cable amendment to the diplo- , mafic and consular appropriation bill. I Both houses Lavi adopted a resolution < looking to the participation of Congress in i the dedicatory ceremonies at Chickamauga. An agreement was reached by ! both houses on the sundry civil and Indian J appropiiation bills. A bill granting a pension to General John C. McClmnand was passed by the House through the efforts of General Sickle.-. A resolution designating Speaker Crisp as one of the delegates to a bi-metallic conference was i unanimously adopted by the House. i Both houses «»f Congress adjourned at | noon Monday. Tattle business was trans,n< ted in the tii al hours. Ex-Speaker I Reed mid two of )iis friends refused to vote for a resolution thanking Speaker Crisp for his fairness. Appropriations'' - ' made by the Congress just adjourned aggregate $'.t!ML225,2S!t. about $37,000,000 ! les- than those of the Reed Congress. । I ' LEPROSY IN NEW YORK. A I’liysiciaa Estimates 1(H) Cases There anil in Brooklyn. A physi.'ian in a New York hospital estimated that there are neatly 100 cases of genuine ieprosy in New York and I Brooklyn at the present time. A notieeaj ble case is that of a young woman who , j was -i on in Park Row the other day el- . bowing her way through a dense throng lof people. She was indeed a repulsive . oliject. Iler ears were almost as large as one's hand, thick, purple, and hanging ■j down an imli; her lips were thick and seemingly hard; her hands were stiff, covered with s«-ales. the lingers being drawn and puffed up. and her nose was abnor- ; mtilly (level .ped, the nostrils probably be- ; ing closed. As she passed along at a । rapid gait her big, white, scaly hand lay t caressingly on the shoulder of a 10-year- . old girl whom she was pushing along I through tine crowd. I For thirty years certainly, and no telli ing how mm h longer, leprosy has been present ii Nt w York. By reference to ' the charts of physicians who make skin ! ■ more thaiu one person who lived (here all i localities w hich jiroduce leprosy subjects I are designated by a red tracing. This i red traei ig envelops the metropolis, ami । the records of physicians will show that । more than one person who lived here all his life has been stricken with the dread , disease. It is very difficult to get the ac-

tnal facts in such eases, because the as- , flieted persons are very sensitive, and the , physicians who att- t 1 the n as much as possible protect them from exposure. Among the lepers in New Y'ork is a finelooking. .- ill young, fellow, of MTli-y. . ~| -’S.

Eight; cottages were destroyed and twelve partly burned at Pitman Grove camp meeting grounds. New Jersey. Dr. L. L. Payne, aged (>•>. of Lexington.
