Hitherto peaceful and happy homes. The prln-

Joshua Willig, wifo OF n farmer OF large wealth

Wlnlg Is young and handsome woman, be-

OF Tour children. Some time ago an intlmacy
sprang up between Mrs. willig and Graul, and
recently their names were associated In a mo-
torlous manner, and the tongue OF scandal was
Kept buoy discussing tho numerous escapades

Wlllig TO vieit his wife, aud although their In
tercourso was generally talked OF as scanda.
lous, Mr.. willig appeared blind to the real
conuition or anaits aud paid no attention to
the gossip with which his wfe's name was
connected. On Wednesday morning he left

mother and found her with Graul at Germans
Tavern. He demanded that she return to her
homo and return tho $1,000 che had stolen.
"Graul at once attacked young willig and
beat him violently about the face, continuing
the assault until Mrs. wlilig begged him TO
desist. AS soon as he was released, wfllg

"Mrs. Willig married some twenty years

IL was instigated by some of the most prom
inent and influential stalwart Republicans
in all this broad land.
The investigation was demanded because
those who were instrumental In bringing IL
about wero satisfied that the so-callod De-
partment of Justice had, under its present.
head, become as corrupt as the city govern
ment of New York was under the rule of
Boss Tweed. The inquiry was insisted
upon, not by Democrats alone, but, as be-
fore stated, by honest Republicans, who
were satisfied that, under the pretext of
Furnishing crime, the machinery of tho
Government had been used to prosecute
rather than to punish. 1t was instigated
and demanded because the reports of the
Department officially made to Con-
gress developed tho fact that three
men, claiming to bc lawyers and
honorable men--one from New York,
one from Philadelphia and one from tho
District OF Columbia-had drawn from the
Treasury of the United States thou
sands upon thousands of dollars
without rendering anything like a
reasonable equivalent. The inquiry was
demanded because the so.called Depart
ment Of Justice, by its own report, devel-
oped the fact that thousands of dollars were
paid to set of so-called detectives to stand
around bar-rooms, ride on street cars and
watch jurors.
The Republican will find that tho COM
mittee will be unanimous in the opinion
that the Government has been robbed by
the so-called Department of Justice in or
