bursting II Democratic Boom.

A paragraph appeared In the local demo.
cratic organ yesterday morning stating
that meeting of the republicans of the six.
teenth district was held the previous night,
100 being present, at No. 223 Second street
northwest, and upon n vote being taken they
decided not to turn out in the Garfield and
Arthur procession, but wait for the democratic
pow.wow the Goth Instant and participate in
1t instead. There were many persons who
doubted the correctness Ofthis story, AID among
them was a representative of THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN. Inquiry last night revealed
the fact that there was no such number rs 223
on Second street northwest and further that
no meeting had been held. The last number
on the square is 221, adjoining which is a
vacant lot surrounded by a high board fence,
tho ends of which are sharpencd to keep out
intruders. Also, that the Swaggart mentioned
as having called the meeting to order was Il
myth, gentleman OF that name, who formerly
lived in the sixteenth district, having died
several months ago. The bottom having fallen
out of this "boom" the democracy will have to
try another way to create enthusiasm for their
approaching ratification.

tion for divorce from his wife, Mary Noonan.
Tho bill sets forth that the petitioner is forty
years Of age, has resided here for the past
twenty years, and that the wife Is thirty.one
years old. They were married by the Rev
Father Rochfort at 81. Aloysius' church in 1865;
that there are four children of this marriage
living, aud he has one living by former mar
riagc; that The second or third year after bis
marriage with her he observed that she was
intoxicated and has since continued going
from bad to worse, and during the last six
years she has become IAN habtual confirmed
aud inluriatcd druukard;" aud he charges
that she has abandoned her home and children
for months at a time; that her thirst for strong
drink has become 50 Unsuitable that she will
soil tho clothing from her back to procure it,
and has sold her childrens clothing for tho
same purpose that owing to her wauton
cruelty, bsd treatment and worse example he
Is compelled 10 keep his eldest daughter away
from homc; that for the past eight or ten years
lao has been compelled to cook for and to wash
and dress his children. He further states that
ho has borne with her coAduct twelve or thir-
teen years in the hope that she would reform,
and when lie demonstrated with her he has
quite frequently been met with the reply, "Pll
continue TO drink as long as l live" aud he
says she lis beyond reformation, burden TO
herself aud dreadful incubus. That
through her cruelty and diabolism the atiec-
tions OF her children have already become
