EXPIRING GROwLS OF THE 'sNoTs."
Mr.. Crane Explains How they Came 10 be in Err
tremis.
A score OF the Citizens Association met last
night at Union League Hall, Mr.. Culver in the
chair, and John III. Crane secretary.
Mr. j. COMBS positively declined serving on
any more committees, as he had to bear the
burden and heat of the day, while others showed
no disposition to help him. There was too much
lassitude.
Mr.. Crane said it was the fault OF the associa-
ton that they had such poor meetings, the peo-
pie had got tired of hearing
THE SAME OLD STORY
told over and over again. The speeches were
all stereotyped. They had been reported to the
people dd ndUseaR. He had predicted that no
body would be present, and his prediction had
come true. These meetings and this apathy are
what is killing this movement. They had got to
do something or soon the association would be
ON THE DIssECTING TABLE.
Mr.. Culver said they must wake up and go
before Congress.
Chaplain Green, of South Washington, was
present with dozen copies of the organ of the
"Nots," which he distributed among the few
faithful present, saying every black man should
take copy, and every white man two copies.
He thought Joe Williams, of his district, would
be better and happier man ii he would take a
copy too.
Nothing further was done, except to growl
over the deprayed state of public morals and
the dreadful doings Of the Board of Public
Works.

More Domestic InfeIicity.

THE HOME OF THE HOLMsEs.
4, few weeks since James II. Holmes, clerk in
the bureau OF Education, and husband of ,Julia
Archibald Holmes, was arrested at the instance
OF his wife for beating her, and was also placed
under bonds to keep the peace. a short time
afterwards charge of assault and battery was
preferred by MIR. Holmes against a brother
OF his wife. When this case came before Judge
smell, although it appeared in evidence that Mrs
nsmes, brother had simply protected his sister
from her husbands violence, the defe ndant was
nned 50 and costs-amOunting in all to SIS.
On the 18th OF September last several ffidavits
were made before Justice Martin in relation to
me conduct OF Holmes. The first, by Mrs
Holmes, sets forth that for three or four years
past she mas experienced very cruel and abusive
treatment from her husband, and that in conse-
quence OF his violence towards her she has
believed her life TO be in danger; that within the
week before, her husband took her bed from her
room and placed it in room on another floor
connecting with his own bedroom, for the
accommodation of a woman whom she believes
he brought from New York ostensibly as his
private secretary; that her husband and the
above mel Toned woman occupied the two rooms
In common, and that upon her going into this
room once he struck her and forcibly attempted
70 eject her therefrom, leaving the marks of his
the room again. She further states that She
verify believes that her husband was living i'm
adultery with the said woman.
Inc second affidavit is by Clara NJ. Archibald
sister OF Mrs Holmes who testified that while
working in the Government Printing Office last
summer, she was continually annoyed by in
ai'u LutCeht propositions DIV Holmes;
that he finally attempted by force to accom-,
push ms evil purpose against her, and she was
compelled to leave her work and her sister TO
escape his prosecutions and assaults.
The third affidavitis by Margaret c. O'Brien,
niece OF Mrs. Holmes, who testifies to the bad
urea treatment I Of his wife by Holmes. She has
MIN strike her several times, and believes that
he has lived in adultery with the woman referred
to in Mrs Holmes affidavit.
We have received cards from Mr.. and Mrs
Holmes in relation to the above. In her card
1lrs. Holmes states that the publication yester-
gay IN morning paper was entirely unau-
thorized; that she is sorry she made an affidavit
IN her anger which does injustice to her
husband: and to the young lady referred
70; and that the private affairs of her family
nave been made public in a cruel and exagger-
ated manner; and that she and Mr.. Holmes now
propose, notw outstanding past difficulties to live
amicably and respectfully together as man and
vie. Mt. Holmes, in his card, Indignantly denies
the truth of the published charges against him.
and says that, desiring to relieve the Bureau of
Education Of any faint of reproach on his ac-
count, he has rendered his resignation as a clerk
OF that bureau. Ais ,ell that enGs weIlD
