sunday plea.ure.seekers.

The beautiful weather yesterday tempted
many to avail themselves Of their only day
Of recreation md to seek the numerous
points of interest and beauty around the
city.
The boats, as well as the more attractive
drives and walks, were crowded with quiet,
orderly pleasure-seekers, and the botanists,
minenlogists and artists were out in the
shady woods. The romantic regions Of the
Rock Creek valley from the ruins Of the re-
Gently burned mill up to the rocky reccsses
of Pincy Branch were threnged with ladies
and gentlemen, while the pleasant car
riage-way was one long line of vehicles.
The more distant, but equally beautiful,
points out Seventh street, the burned
mills and woods, were tho destination of
many riders and drivers.
The bicyclists were out in full force, and
took many different directions; some, to-
gether with few pedestrians, crossed the
Long Bridge and took the road toward
Alexandria, while a much larger number
bent their course toward Cabin John
Bridge and the Great Falls, via the Conduit
road.
The steam packet leaving the foot of
Congress street also carried a select party
falls, where half day was
spent among the most romantic
and pleasant auspices and sights and on
the return the excursionists spent an in
teresting hour at the wonderful Cabin John
bridge, where large number of persons
had previously arrived from the city in
carriages and on horseback.
Among the other resorts the trip TO Nor
folk and the capes was the most popular,
while many persons, not able to take so long
an excursion, sought the pleasures and beau
ties of the Soldiers Home, Arlington, Mt.
Pleasant, the Chain Bridge and other
places.

Insanity of n Lawyer.

Mr.. II. G. England, the lawyer, this morn
ing showed manifest indications of insanity,
and he was taken in charge by the authori-
ties. For some time past he has been telling
marvellous stories, and his auditors were in
clned to believe him somewhat of an
exaggerator. This morning he came into
the witness-room of the Criminal Court,
where lady was sitting, and without
notice OF explanation he began disrobing.
excepting dilapidated pair of drawers.
The lady did not stand upon the order of
going, but made hasty departure from the
room. Two Of the bailiffs got hold of Mr..
England and partially redressed him, and
then he was turned over to the authorities
and taken to Police Headquarters.

MARIA sYRNE,s REPLY
To Patrick Byrne's Application Fol
Divorce.

divorce.
Mr.. r. i. Hanley, as solicitor for Maria
Byrne, to-day fled an answer to Patrick
Byrne's petition for divorce and cross
bill seeking legal separation from him.
In the answer she states that II they had
not lived together continuously tho past
three years it was his fault and not hers.
She denies tho charge of being guilty of
habitual drunkenness for tho three years
past, but says that on several occasions, not
on account of her drunkenness, he has
expostulated and "implored" her in regard
to some trifling matter with blows and
kicks.
In the cross-bill she states that they lived
together until April %, 1888, since which
time the husband has wholly abandoned
her She charges that since the year 1866
and almost continuously from that time to
April, 1883, he has been guilty Of in
human treatment toward hor, by reason of
which her health has been impaired and
life endangered that without Just cause he
has frequently struck her in the face with
his fists, backing her eyes, kicked her,
| Knocked her down and beat her in other
ways. In 1866, at Poughkeepsic, N. ", he
| hit her on the head with the heel of his
| shoe. On another occasion he stabbed her
| in the arm with an awl, and on another hit
her ON the head with a broomstick, and
| while he was intoxicated ho chased
| her out of the house in the winter time,
and she was compelled to seek shelter else
| where. At No. 1876 Twenty-fifth street in
May, 1881, he gave her pair of black eyes
| and bloody nose because she tried to put
| an undershirt on him that was too tight.
| In December she was SO abused by him that
| she left the house and went to that of his
BROTHER in Newark, N j., where she re-
manned two months, and then went to tho
house of her mother, in Poughkeepsie,
| where she staid one month, and then re-
turned to her husband on the promise that
he would treat her kindly. During the
| latter part of November or early in Deem
Der, 1882, he beat her at q house
on Nineteenth street, between ID
and L Streets because she had
found and refused to surrender to him q
letter he had written to Nellie Maloney,
the letter containing, besides words Of love
which indicated his Illicit and criminal in
tercourse with her, the sum of S.. This
her, and she had him arrested, and he for
feited $40 in the Police Court. She charges
that he has committed adultery with Nellie
Maloney at 1412 Pennsylvania avenue, and
other places, and that the adulterous inter-
course has continued since May,
1882. In addition, she asserts that
her husband has admitted to her
that he seduced Nellie Maloncy, aud
therefore he felt bound in honor to take
care of her. The seduction occurred while
Byrne was her husband at No. 1412 Penn
sylvania avenue, according to his admis-
sion. The wife further states that her hus-
band is employed as Waterman al the new
State and Navy Department at salary Of
$50 per month and the largest allowance he
has made her for the house is $27. She i;

Professor Greener and the CoIored
Convention.

Professor Greener has received many let
tiers from colored men of the South and
West indorsing his course on the call for a
colored convention. The leading colored
newspapers are also giving the Professor
heartytsupport in his views as to the policy
of the colored race. The Savannah (Ga.)
Echo, of May 10, says:
Professor II. T. Greener, OF Washington, D..
O. ono OF the ablest cOlored men In the United
States, has expressed himself In regard TO tho
proposed convention Of representative colored
men. We indorse what has been said by Pro-
fessor Greener, who is an acknowledged leader
OF the colored people-one not pinned down
under the party lash, and one who Is In
dependent enough to express himself In.
When the colored people OF this country de-
sire an able colOred leader, indeed, they
should look TO such noted men as Mr.. dreoner.
