an improper intimacy has existed between her and their
boarder. He has several occasions ordered Joyzean

Faure says he demonstrated with his wife for
acting in such manner, and was told
by her that II he did not like 1t he could go else

between the husband and wife frequent. About
last evening Faure and Joyzean met in front Of the house

attempted TO stab him, inicting slight wound Faure
OF the face the blade passing downward and entering
the Fifteenth Precinct hearing the disturbance arrested
Faure and took him TO the Mercerst Police Station. In
the mean time, yoyzean had been assisted into the
house, and DR.. Kinney was called in and partially

covery Of the wounded man. Joyzem was sent 10

men made by her husband is untrue and that three
months ago he failed in business and this, she thinks
made him partially insane The intimacy between herself
and Joyzean she declared had existence In her
husbands distempered imagination, had she ever
told her husband to 60 elsewhere for home. The

SENATOR WILSON WILL NOT CALL UP THE CON-
FERENCE COMMITTEES REPoRT-HE INTENDS
TO SMOTHER 1T TO CRAFTY GEN. SHERMAN.
WASHINGTON, June est is now about three
weeks since the Conference Committee the Army bill
agreed upon report Senator Wilson was chairman OF
the Committee the part of the Senate and Logan
the part Of the House. The bill agreed upon by the
conference very fair compromise measure taking
threeourths Of the Senate bill and adding OF
the distinctive features OF the House BILL considerably
modified 10 suit the views OF the Senate. According 10
the practice in Congress became the duty Of the chair
men to make the report to their respective
Houses, and have il acted upon without delay.
Gen. Logan promptly performed his duty, made tho
report explained the bill agreed upon, and the House
adopted it at without division. Senator Wilson
kept the report In his desk for three four days and
then had IL printed, with the announcement that he
would call up for action at early day He has
yet called up, and when asked the for his
preeedened delay pleads the pressure of other business
in the Senate. Meanwhile other Senators post
lively that the report viii not be acted upon this session.
and certain STAFF officers who hang about the Hobbies and
their salaries by endeayoring 10 control the lega
ton OF Congress- boast that the bill is dead and that
they have that Mr. Wilson will bring II up
unless obliged to, and that he does bring up be viii
oppose IL aud secure KS defeat.
The bill Is regarded all hands as an excellent
measure 1t reduces the army to it, proper dimensions
IL will save 100000 year, and IL does injustice to
man. II has the misfortune, however, to offend Gen.
Sherman because 1t proposes to give him only saooo
year. fteenroom house free, with fua enough 10
warm II, and forage for all his horses He now gets
about $4,000 year, including all allowances and alter
considerable eypherng he concludes that his income VIII

Likely % succeed.
The whole army favor the BILL except few officers in
the stan who want promotions aud perhaps half dozen
line officers who have promises OF appointments i'm tina

gentlemen the Senate committed the absprity proyid
