BEGAN aH the morning Of their we'd

had once been engaged. She said
she loved him and mad peu0red her

He SAYS that a man named Frank
Anderson was attentive 10 her and
that she expressed admiration Of
Sam Register, of Baltimore. and also
q Mr., Mayer. Mr.. Christiancy closes
his letter by appealing to Mr.. Lugep-
beel to interest himsef in his daugb-
ter's welfare, and to save her from
her reputation. For several
weeks past Mrs Christiancy has not
upon the sessions Of the ex-

she put in an appearance, under cir
that cannot be consider
ed very complimentary or in keeping
with good Judgment Recently the
husband has put in evidence the dep
ositioEs of witnesses to show i'm
proper intimate relations as having
existed between her and Mr.. Geo. W.
Haight, of Hartford, Conn, and her
recent visit to that city, when he en-

she was seen passing along the trent
of City Hall park escorted by gen

door of the room, she knocked and
the door was opened and at glance
the attorneys recognized her COM
panion as Mr.. Geo. w. Haight, but
did not speak, excepting her counsel
whom she expressed a wish to see.
He passed into the hallway, where
a short consultation ensueG, and
then Mr.. Haight and Mrs. Chris
tiapcy departed together, and the
hearing was resumed. 1t was thought
that the object Of the visit was to
provoke q scene. If 80 intended, the
purpose failed, as neither the bus
band nor his counsel condescended
TO give the bold move more than
passing notice.
The dead lock in the house con
tinues as il began. The result of
deliberations amounts to
zero. Meeting at the usual hour,
the house did nothing until o'clock
again at it did nothing for
two hours more. On one or two oc-
casionS, the Republicans were able
to muster quorum, but it availed
them nothing at all The Democrats
have fully decided to fight the battle
out on the line originally assumed,
and are undeniably masters Of the
