The Devil Prompted Her.

Mary Bracket was charged in the Police
Court this morning with committing q
deadly assault upon Sophie Brown. Both
damsels are colored, and are members of
Brother Brooks Fifth Baptist Church.
Sophie stated to the Court that Mary, on
Tuesday night last, made most unpro-
voked assault upon her with large rock.
The defendant was then placed upon the
stand, and said: deed, Judge, dat woman
has jist made my life torment. She
'clises me of taking her husband from her,
when God knows l never hardly looks at
de man. Sometimes he make eyes Mt me
in church but Lord knows never pays
any tention to him. Continuing, injured
Mary said: AZ was coming from Brother
Brooks church, last Tuesday night when

Another Divorce Shit.

Elizabeth Lee to-day filed bill for di-
vOrce from her husband, William II. Lee,
and alimony peadente lite and counsel fees.
The parties were married in this District
October 10, 1865, and lived together until
August IL, 1881. At that date she left hcre
and him to visit some friends in Ohio and
has not seen him since. She charges that
almost ever since their marriage the de.
PENDANT has been in the habit
ofadulterous intercourse with other women,
and for the past three years has committed
adultery with Mary Rucker, rented room
for her at No. 6ls North Capitol street, and
she has child by him now about 2 years
old. In the month of July, 1881, she
started to get a divorce from him, but
upon his promises of reformation
she returned home, and was in.
duced to live with him again. She
returned from Ohio few days since and
found that during her absence he had been
living in adultery with Mary Rucker.
Mr.. Fall, the counsel for Mr.. Lee, says
the answer will be filed very shortly;
that they will deny all the allegations set
out above.

The Organization of the House.

There are according to the official roll Of
the House. as made up by the Clerk, LAG
straight Republicans, or / short of ma
jority over all. They are as follows; Cali
fornia, 2; Colorado, l Connecticut, 3; ILL
nois, 10; Indiana, 8; Iowa, o; Kansas, 3;
Kentucky, /; Louisiana, 1 Maine, 81;
Maryland, l.; Massachusetts,, 10; Michigan,
8; Minnesota, 3; Missouri, l ; Nebraska, Il
New Hampshire, 1; New Jersey, a; New
Oregon, l. Pennsylvania, Is; Rhode Island
2; Tennessee, 3; Vermont, 8; Virginia, g
Wisconsin, @; total, 1i6.
There are 1876 Democrats, 8 Grcenbackers
9 Readiusters and 1 Independent Republic
can (Smith of Brooklyn). 1t is pretty
certain that five of the Greenbackcrs, the
two Readjusters and Smith will act with
the Republicans on all matters except, per-
haps, questions affecting finance. This
will for all practical purposes give the Re-
publicans u working majority of fifteen,
which completely cxplodes the idea that
has existed in the minds of
some that there was to be coalition
between the Democrats and Greenbackers
for the purpose of organizing the House.
Especially is this idea exploded since Con-
gresham Hewitt, of New York, has said he
would not enter into such bargain. OF
these lag straight Republicans Mr.. His
cocks friends claim for him at least fifty
seven votes on the first ballot for Speaker.
This is seventeen votes short, sevcnty-four
being necessary TO secure tho caucus nom,-
nation. Mr.. Hiscock may find 1t
much harder to secure the seventeen
than he imagnes. Mr.. Kasson's friends
claim for him on the first ballot about forty
seven votes, while Mr.. Keifer, of Ohio,
says that if he does not develop more
strength on the first ballot than all other
competitors except Mr.. Hiscock he will
withdraw from the contest. There are
some seven or eight other candidates claim
ing that each of them is the coming man,
but until all the members arrive the safer
plan would be to defer all predictions.
