of the clerk of the supreme court OF Washing
ton county, to-day, William Sprague filed
petition praying for divorce from his wife
Catharine Chase Sprague. The petition re-
cites the facts of the marriage, and says thai
he has ever since on his part kept and perform
ed all his marriage covenants, but said Cathar-
inc Chase Sprague, unmindful Of her marriage
covenants, hath violated the same, in this,
that she h as willfully and without cause de-
serted the bed and board.of your petitioner,
which desertion, although not for continued
term Of five years, yet was under such circum-
stances as to entitle him to decree for divorce.
That she has committed the
CRIME OF ADULTERY,
and has been guilty of other gross mis-
bchaviors and wickedness, repugnant to and
in violation of the marriage contracts, IN this
that she persistently and against the express
wishes and commands of your petitioner,
and after great public scandal had been occa-
stoned thereby, kept the company Of and been
on terms of close and improper intimacy with
other men, and of the same men whose names
had been associated with her in public scan
dals aforementioned.
That without cause she has declared she
would never live with your petitioner again.
That she denies TO him and his household
the care: and duties incumbent on her as vile
and mother to fulfill.
That she has, without cause, turned and
driven her Oldest child and son out of doors.
That she has persistently and against the
will of your petitioner Squandered his proper
ty and means by engaging in most
LAVISH, EXTRAvAeANT AND FOOLISH EX-
PENDITCREs
of money.
That since the fxancial embarrassment of
your petitioner in 1878, and after repeated en-.
treaty, request, demand and command TO the
contrary by your petitioner, and
after full explanation to her by him
of his financial situation and the inevitable
effect Of such proceeding on her part, yet said
respondent notwithstanding all the same has
still persisted, so far as possible, in the same
reckless, eXtravagant, lavish and foolish eX-
pendlture of money and style of living, thus
further (as explained andpointed out tosher in
the manner aforesaid), embarrassing and de-
feating your petitioner in his effort to extll-
cate himself and any remnant OF his estate,
commingled with the estates Of Others, from
said financial difficulties and embarrassment.
That she has many times since her marriage
with your petitioner, and against his wishes,
absented herself from his house and home for
long periods of time, living abroad and at
hotels, thereby subjecting your petitioner to
further great expense and depriving him OF her
society and assistance, to which as her hus-
band he was entitled.
That she has wilfully persisted in a course
Of Flanderous and abusive language and publ
cation, of and concerning urpetitioner, with
the view and purpose of harassing, vexing and
annoying him, and with such effect thus rem
dering his life miserable and thus destroying
his domestic peace, and all happiness incident
to the marriage relation. Wherefore your pc
titioncr prays, etc.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION.
The House went into committee of the
whole, Mr.. Phtnam in the chair, on the pro-
posed constitutional amendment prohibiting
special legislation. Several clauses of the bill
were discussed and approved, when the COM
mittee rose, reported progress, and asked
leave to resume consideration of the bill at
2:30. The House then took recess till 2:20

HOUSE.

The forenoon session of the House yester.
day was marked by little Of interest. The first
petition of the session was offered-a prayer
from the alleged murdercrs of Mrs. Lick GRAY.
ing pardon on the ground of the injustice OF
their conviction. Shortly after II o'clock, the
special order, Mr.. Hicks constitutional
amendment prohibiting legislation, was taken
up and the debate begun. Only two or three
clauses had been approved when the noon re-
cess was taken. The discussion was resumed
directly after dinner, when Mr.. Hicks found
himself in a sorry plight. Every lawyer on
the floor was arrayed against one clause or an.
other of his amendment, and he was goaded
most mercilessly, now by argument. again by
questionings, supplemented by badinage and
ridculc He was rendered almost frantic by
the exasperating tactics of the opponents of
the measure, who seemed to take delight in
tantalizing him by resort to every method
known to parliamentary law. He talked and
shouted himself hoarse; he ran his fingers
through his tawny locks until each particular
hair did stand on end like quills upon the
fretful porcupine; he argued, bullied and en-
treated, but finally accepted the inevitable and
acknowledged himself beaten. In place of his
carefully drawn and long matured list of in
hibited topics-the dear gazelle which he has
loved, cherished, nurtured and defended for 10,
these many years-the provisions of the Wis.
consn constitution were substituted. He
tried persistently but in vain for the
poor consolation of adding some of his own
clauses. One after another they were cast
aside, and all that remained of the original bill
was the enacting clause and the dry detail of
the ranner ipwhich the ballots to be voted by
the electors shall read. Mr.. Hicks was defect
ed and no wonder. He made gallant fight,
however. The opposition was too much for
any one man to contend against.
When the committee rose perfect avalanche
of bills was precipitated upon the Speakers
desk, and the pages had lively scamper to
collect them from the anxious members, all
eager for precedence on the file. But half of
them conld be read before adjournment. The
most important of the number were four bills
offered by Mr.. sabin designed to consolidate
the railroads in this State forming the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha system. One
gives the new company the right to purchase
the st. Paul & Sioux City, West Wisconsin and
North Wisconsin roads, and invests it with all
the rights of successorship; another author
ICES the construction of branch lines; another
confers upon it the right to purchase other
poration with all the rights and privileges that

sess,1including the right of eminent domain.

Mr.. Conger inquired whether this was question

could not imagine any question of higher privilege
than one which involved the election of President.
The speaker replied that the chair had not been
asked to recognize any member upon that question.
The gentleman in charge of the resolution was not
pressing it.
Mr. Copger remarked sarcastically that if there
was need of any urging from his side of the house
he was ready to urge it.
