Mr.. HEMPHILL's REPORT.
Mr.. Hemphlll's report on the subject says:
There is every reason why the people OF the
District should have the same facilities for the

joyed by most of the states and territories,
and it is especially just that they
should be permitted 20 transact such
business by interpretations OF their

the business would be transacted by foreign
companies without any such subsection or tax

Why Clara r. Bell Brown Wants to
Be Divorced from Austin Il. Brown.

Clara R. Bell Brown has filed bill for d.
yorce from Austin P. Brown through Mr.. d.
w. Classic, asking that a former decree di-
vorcing them be annulled and that alimony
and the custody of the children be awarded
her. She states that they were married
at the Epiphany Church October
20. 1870, and have two children:
that they lived together happily till respondent
entered into business with one Warren Brown
of Maine, who brought his wife and daughter
Cora to this city. She charges that respondent
became infatuated with the daughter, took
long drives with her, &c, and that he COM
mitted adultery with her. She states that
respondent proposed to her to take the children
go to Europe and travel and he would allow
her 81 900 per month and then urged her to
get q divorce. but not to use tho name of Cora
Brown in her petition. She states that she
was induced to sign a paper while sick; that
the contents was not read over to her, and
December 5, 1878, she was handed what pur-
ported to be decree of divorce. She further
states that she, believing that she was free to
marry, on April 8, 1882, was united in the bonds
of matrimony to Thomas B. Meeks i'll Balti-
more, and lived with him his wife until he
tainted her with living with him in adultery
alleging that her divorce was not legal.
She states that she then returned here
and endeavored to see the papers in
the divorce case of December. 1873
and it was not until July or August that she
succeeded. She now AYERS that. while the sig
nature to the petition in that case resembles
her own, that she did not write it; that the
charges in the petition are false and
scandalous and if she signed any such
paper her signature was fraudulently procured
She states that the respondent grudgingy
doled out to her from S25 to $40 per month for
her support, while he was living with Cora
Brown in affiuent circumstances. She now
asks that the decree of 1873 be set aside; that
decree of divorce be granted her with
alimony, DC.
