COMMITTEE MEETINe.-The commit
tee on streets met last night. 1t was
decided to recommend to Council the
grading of Patrick street from Wilkes
to the corporation line and to ask for
an appropriation of $3.50 to shell that
street. The question of grading Fay
cite street was laid over till an estab.
lished grade of that street was decided
upon by Council. The electric railway
company was notified to comply with
the present grade of Royal street 10
paving that street along the line of its
tracks. 1t is said that the residents of
Royal street will now ask that that
street be paved from Duke to Wilkes.

The Affair.

1t now appears that the immediate
family of DR.. Glennan is not the only
one suffering from q shortage of har.
mony, but that the family of MI. An
drew silling and of his son Arthur, who
is correspondent in DR.. Glennan's di.
vorce petition. are also in a d~eplorably
sorrowful condition on account OF Mrs.
Glennan's actions. Mrs. Glennan's
friend, Mr.. Silling, is a married man,
and yesterday his wife and mother
spent the day in Washington looking
up odds and ends concerning the firta.
tion of their husband and son with DIR,
| Glennan's wife. The Silling family
now reside in Manassas, but up to a
few weeks ago lived in this city. The
intimacy between young Silling and
Mrs. Glennan, it appears, has
existed for about three mouths. Mrs.
Silling, the younger, stated that she
was married January %, 1884, and that
until her husband met Mrs. Glennan
this summer their married life had
been filled with happiness. Her hus-
band, she said, had provided for her
we'll, and there had never been a rup-
ture between them. Although her
husband was on the road most of the
time, he was devoted to his wife and
home. Since last August, however,
his intrigue with Mrs. Glennan caused
him to neglect his family which he con-
tinued to do until the revelations q few
nights ago. She gave a detailed &C.
count of her husbands adventures and
intimacy with Mrs. Glennan at Har-
per's Ferry, Washington and Alexan-
dria during the past three months as
they had been reported to her from
time to time, and averred that during
his relations with this woman she (Mrs.
Silling) had received but 81 from him.
Mrs. Silling also told how she had
come in possession of postal cards sent
by Mrs. Glennan to her husband, in
which he was addressed as "Sweet,"
&c. She charges her husband with
giving the woman a watch and chain te-
longing to her and which was her we'd
ding present. Mrs. Silling is q rather
progressing lady, with jet black eyes
that snapped viciously as she related her
story. At times she would grow calm,
and once when speaking of being left
alone in the world absolutely penniless,
she sobbed pitifully. Again during the
recital of her woes she alluded to her
husband as a scoundrel and asserted
emphatically, as she stamped her foot
on the door: HE ought to be shot,"
AIrs. Silling has not made up her mind
as yet whether she will sue for a divorce
from her husband. She says she will
not live at the Silling house any longer,
although Mrs. Silling, ST., has offered to
take care of her. Mrs. Glennan and
Mr.. Silling left the Twelfth street
Washington boarding house yesterday
morning, and their present whereabouts
are unknown. Silling paid his board
bill and informed the landlady that he
was going to leave the city. Mrs. Glen
nan declined to give her future address.
saying hat she was going to live with
friends. She did not pay her bill at the
house, but ordered it sent to MIR. John
Glennan, her brother-in-law.

POSTING DELINoUENTs.-Some exas-
peration was occasioned to-day in this
city among a certain class by seeing
posters placed on fences and walls an
nouncing the sale of the respective
amounts they owe certain parties. 1t
seems that the bills have been placed
in the hands of q collection
agency and that judgment has
been obtained against the delinquents.
One man, upon seeing his name in front
of figures indicating his Indebtedness,
quickly liquidated the bill, but those
unable to pay or having no inclination
to do so are exasperated beyond degree.
The bills are mostly for refreshments
furnished.

THE DANGEROUS CATRIFLE.-Much
complaint has from time to time been
made of the fact that boys are often al
lowed the free use of catri1es in the
streets of the city. They are seen
shooting at sparrows, sometimes while
these birds are hopping about in the
streets, and no little apprehension is
caused thereby. On Tuesday afternoon
while a lady was walking on Washing
ton street a ball from one of these rifles
struck and broke her eyeglasses which
were hanging to her dress at the time.
The attention of the Mayor having
been called to the matter, he hos issued
orders for the immediate arrest of any
one caught using catrifes or any other
description OF firearms in the streets.
