FIRST DAY IN THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December 3.-The
opening of the short session IN tae House
was picturesque in a way but devoid of in
teresting features. The victorious Repub-
licans and defeated Democrats exchanged
greetings and gave and took thrusts on the
result of the recent political battle with
much animation but thorough good nature.
The galleries were crowded and half the
desks on the floor were smothered with
flowers. The leaders on both sides got en-
thusisstic receptions from their respective
partisans, the appearance OF Speaker
Crisp. ex-Speaker Reed, Mr. Wilson and
MIR. Burrows being the signal for long and
loud outbursts. There was no chance in the
first DAVIS proceedings for public reference
10 the election so that the actual proceed
ings were duh and uninteresting. Seven
new members were sworn in and after
long wait, the Presidents message was
read.
Although listened to attentively it was
concluded without single mark Of ap-
proval or disapproval. The death Of the
late Representative Wright, of Peunsyl-
vapie. was then announced, whereupon
the House, as mark of respect, ad-
iourued

vEen she entered the circuit court, ac-
comlonied by Sister Ellis and her co,.n-
sci. She terk her usual chair before the
judge, her profile to the jury. Tie audi
ence was composed mostly Of members Of
the bar, aud was an Her than customari-
ly assembled to hear the testimony In
the case Judge Bradley first announced
his decision of the prayers for instruc-
tions. Nine prlyers of the plaintiff We're
grPnted in modified form and five Of
them refused. Six players of the de.
fendant were granted in modified form,
or substitutes granted, and five were re-
fused. Inciderta tally the judge said that
while the burden of proof rested on the
plaintiff to show thst a contract to marry
was entered into, if the defendant set up
the defense that the contract was not
made in good faith, the burden of proof
would rest upon him to show that there
was an understanding that the contract
was not to be carried out, and that the
statements made in the presence of other
parties were made with this understand
ing on the part of the plaintiff and de-
fendant.
The judge was anxious to limit the
time for argument to five hours on each
side, but after both sides had protested
against time limit he yielded the point.
Attorney Caldcron Carlisle opened the
argument for the plaintiff.
