THE DIVORCE MARKET.
Two Unhappy Couples Separated, One APP
pIicntiOn and One Demurrer FiIcd.


Judge Wylie yesterday granted divorce a yin.
mat in the case of George Jones against Elizabeth
Jones' The parties were married in Monmouth,
England, August 7, 1877, and shortly aiterward
came to this country In April, 1879, while plain
tiff was away from home defendant deserted him
and sold his household eflectsand remained away
two months; she then returned and finally de-
serted him In July of the same year. The complain
ant believes that previous to his marriage with dc.
fendant she was married TO some person not known.
of matrimony with Hamilton Sample. They were
married in Buffalo, ~ Y, February %, 1873.
Shortly after their marriage the defendant used
cruel and abusive treatment toward her, so as TO
endanger her life and health. He hnbitually
abused her, used vile and opprobrious language,
The complainant was allowed TO resume her
maiden name of Blanchard
A bill of divorce was filed yesterday by Charles
Gersdorff against Marie Gersdorh The parties
were married November 16, 1878, in this city. On
the 22d of November complainant left the United
States, in company with defendants father, for
Cairo. Egypt, where they entered the printing bu
reau of the Khediye of Egypt and defendant fol-
lowed next March, In the summer and fall Of
1876 she committed adultery with several men,
among Others an Italian with whom, in Decem-
ber, 1876, when complainant lett Egypt, she was
living AS man and wife, and, TO the best of his
knowledge is still living with him.
A demurrer to the bill of Sarah A. Decker, who,
on November l6, instituted suit for divorce from
Lewis Decker ON the grounds of desertion and
Moore. The law of this District requires that a
person shall reside in the District for two years
prior to filing suit. and must be an actual resident
here when the suit Is brought. The plaintiff sets
forth that she was deserted in November, 1873, but
fails to show that she was resident of this Dis
years since she was deserted, on this ground the
demurrer Is based.

Gnitenn.


The country is to be congratulated that
the testimony in the Guiteau trial has
closed, The remaining proceedings can
not occupy more than q week. The
prisoner has been allowed to create much
disturbance during the progress of the
case, and can, if permitted, seriously re-
tard, confuse, and thereby in part neu-
tralize the argument Of the counsel for
the prosecution. His constitutional
right to be confronted with the witnesses
against him almost placed the court at
his mercy while the testimony was be-
to compel him to decent behavior and at
the same time allow him to remain con-
fronted with the witnesses in the court
room. This difficulty is now at an end.
There are no more witnesses to be ex-
amined. He is entitled to public trial.
This does not necessitate his continu-
Gus presence. lie is entitled to the
assistance of counsel. The Court has al
ready informed him that he had a right
to be heard personally in his own de-
fcnse, or by counsel but that he cannot
do both, and that, having employed coun-
sci, he cannot usurp their functions.
There is precedent for removing Il turbu-
lent prisoner from the courtroom during
the argument of counsel, and this course
was sustained by the New York Court OF
from bad behavior during the argument,
we'll and good. But if he shall persist in
cunningly breaking the thread of the
argument against him by Interruptions
and insults he ought to be excluded from
the courtroom. On Wednesday Inc
loudly threatened to slap the mouth
of a deputy marshal. From this
il is but step to actual assaults upon the
officers in charge of him, and perhaps
upon the Judge on the bench. The wretch
feels that he has nothing to lose, and he
really believes that the more outrageously
he can conduct himself the more likely
people will be to think him insane He
thinks that public opinion is to contro
his case, and vainly imagipes that he hal
made an impression by his blasphemou
stuff about divine inspiration, his hypo
critical cant about saving the country
and his beastly antics in court during tn,
trial. The case should not be concluded
in the midst of Il tumult caused by tn,
assassin, but should be relieved from dis
order and raised to the plane of grave de
liberation, even if, in order to produce
this condition, the insolent rufiian has tc
be removed from the presence of thu
court

Register RamsdeIrs Suit for Damages.

Yesterday in the Circuit Court the case of Mr.
ii. j. Ramsdell against the District of Columbia
wns on hearing. Mr.. Totten appeared for the
plaintiff The District was represented by Messrs
damages sustained by FILLING ON Massachusetts
avenue, near the Louise Home last January, and
thereby breaking his leg and sustaining other
ere injuries. He attributes the accident to the
defective condition OF the sidewalk and to the ne
glect of the defendants IN not removing the ice
and snow. Mr.. Rumsdell was placed on the stand
and testified To the accident He was asked If the
night was light one and said: "lf the lamps
were lit suppose It was, for It Is only on,light
nights the gus Is lighted, not on dark nights" Mr..
Richardson testified that where the accident oc.
Cured ice was on the sidewalks for some weeks.
The case had not been concluded when the court
adjourned.

WOULD il not be well to enlarge the
scope of the Southern Republican
associations so as to take in their
Liberal allies? In the Virginia as
sociation this is practically done already.
All who honestly united to put down
Bourbonism there find themselves now
welcomed. If the movement ito spread
into other States let the initiative be
taken by the State associations. Let the
doors be thrown open to all who will as
sociate to overthrow the Bourbon rule
which has cursed the South for half a
century. Washington is the natural centre
of political thought and activity, and here
Republicans, Greenbackers, and Read
justers may properly unite in common
purpose to redeem the fairest portion OF
the continent from the barbarous and
reactionary class, who have SO long pre-
vented its development and progress
Let the associations take this broad and
liberal ground, and those who think alike
will act together, The names may be
appropriately modified 70 cover all allies
of the Republican party in this great
work of nationalizing the South.

THE ALEXANDRIA FASTER.
She Dies After sixty Days Fasting, Being
DirecIch hY the Lord.


Miss Chloe Ann Violet, who began fast sixty
days ago under an Insane deluson that God had
commanded her TO commit suicide by fasting,
died Wednesday night, at her home in Alexandria.
Although she claimed to have begun the fast about
sixty days ago, she was not all that time without
nourishment Several times small portion of
milk was Introduced without discovery into the
been given as medicine. There seems to be no
doubt, however, that she was once without food
for forty three consecutive days Miss Violet, al
though emnciated, retained consciousness
and talked freely, indeed cheerfully, up
to the time of her death. She was
thoroughly impressed with the belief that
her time had come, and that the Lord desired,
yea, commanded her to abstain from all kinds Of
food. She further believed that to die fasting
would be u safe passport to Heaven, and the gates
of the Golden Ciiy would be thrown wide open to
her; but 10 die In any other way would be dis.
obedience to the command of the Lord, for which
she would have to suffer in the next world For
sixty days she cheerfully acted out this deusion.
her only regret being that she allowed herself TO
be induced to abandon her first attempt, some
years ago, TO sarye herself to death, Her friends
declare that she has not taken particle of food of
any kind since the 9th of November last, except n
little milk the other night, which a lady handed
her for water, and which, AS soon us she discoy-
cred the mistake, she spat out; not even medicine
would she take fearing that her life might be pro-
longcd thereby. of course the lady was insane,
and some people think the authorities ought to
have interlerCd and had her sent TO an asylum for
treatment. Her fnther, Mr.. Robert Violet died
from an overdose of laudanum, and her brother,
Albert Violet drowned himself in the river, Off
Queen street. about ten years ago, Miss Violet
was highly respected by all who knew her and
her death is severe blow to her aged mother, who
has, her many friends say, had her share of this

THE CHRISTIANCY CASE.
Arguments In the Equity Court M DO the
Tnlsing of GcrInin TcstiinOnX.


In the Equity Court, before Judge Wylie, MesSrs
Cuppy & lngcrsoll, counsel for ex-senator Chris
tiancy, appeared in support of motion for the
appointment of n commission to take the testi-
mOny of complainnnts sons, Victor and George
ChriStianoy, at Lansing, Michigan Messrs. Cole
and John N. Oliver opposed the motion on the
following grounds; That the plaintiff introduced
the witnesses in his behalf before the examiner,
and might then have examined all the issues in
the cause, but declined TO do so, and dismissed
them without doing so; and because the solicit
tors for the defendant desired to orally cross
examine the witnesses IL they should be examined
upon the subject-matter mentioned i'll the inter-
rogatories.
COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENSE STATED
that the witnesses had once appeared before the
completed at that time. and ii the counsel did not
choose to do so they alone were to blame and
must abide the consequences. They had not the
right 10 recall and reeXamine the witnesses after
they were discharged. Judge Cuppy maintained
that the witnesses were called to give testimony
only the issue made up by the original bill and
answer and were SO sworn. They were not ques-
toned as to the cross bill and answer, and IL was
not intended to examine them upon those issues
until the testimony in the other instance was COM
pleted.
THAT HAD NOT YET BEEN DONE.
Miss Mary Chamberlaine Mrs. Lille M. Chris
tinnoy tho defendant. and her mother, Mrs. Lu-
genbeel, had not yet signed their testimony
hands, and until that was done the testimony in
the original bill and answer could not be consid-
cred as finished and closed. Mr. Oliver said that
there was rule of the court which permitted the
examiner to sign witness name to testimony
where the witness had failed TO do IL. Judge
Wylie asked for the papers showing the manner
in which the two witnesses in Michigan had beer
sworn to testify, and after commenting upon the
uncommon length of time the case had rur
through, promised to give an early decision.
