divorce brought in the courts OF the
District of Columbia by a man named
Glasscock against his wife, filed in court
TO-DAY yoluminous afidavits setting
forth that the case is n OF conspiracy
to blackmail and that the plaintiff ana
respondent have continued 10 reslae
together as husband and wife after tne
suit was filed. In sworn statement
furnished by his attorney, Senator
stewart saws: From the foregoing,
Won will see that there can be no con-
sideration by me of any suggestion OF a
settlement of any demand of this wom-
an or of her husband, and there will be
none. They are certainly blackmailers,
and it is nv duty to state these facts to
YOU frankly and truthfully, that you
may know what I solemnly declare TO
be the truth, namely, that [ have had
no relations whatever with this woman
except as herein stated and that there's
no foundation for any charge of any
name or nature against me. Some OF
witnesses whose names are mentioned
in the case have previously figured
very prominently and ~unpleasantly IN
congressional Investigations and re-
ports.
Until a new supervising architect of
the Treasury is appointed. MIR: Charles
Is. Kemper of Staunton, Va, the chief
clerk of the Office, will be in charge of
the Office. General John B. Clark,
chief of the construction division, WILL
oficiate as chief clerk.
Among the callers at democratic
HEADQUARTERS this morning was Mr.. K.
T. Irwin, of the 9th Virginia district.
He SAYS the nomination of Judge Nor
rison for Congress has settled all the
democratic differences there, and that
as the district is democratic, all that is
needed to secure the Judges election is
that the democratic vote be induced
to come out, and that he thinks the
proper means will be taken to effect
that purpose. The impression at head
quarters is that there will De little or
no trouble in carrying any of the Vlr-
pinia districts but the End and 4th, and
not much in them. Chairman Faulkner
left for West Virginia to-day, but will
return early next week.
Intelligence from the Petersburg,
Virginia, congressional district here to-
day is to the effect that the withdrawal
of Mr.. Goode, the populist candidate
for Congress in that district, is in the
interest of Mr.. Thorp, the republican
nominee, and that with the populists,
as with Senator Sherman, it is anything
to beat down the democratic party.
The enquiries for land on the south
side of the Potomac are increasing here
daily, and land agents say that when
the Mt. Vernon Railroad shall be ex-
tended to this city it wont be long be-
fore its entire length between the two
cities will be lined with houses in
which people whose business is here
will live.
The general but gradual revival OF
business is making itself felt in the
treasury by the heavy demand for
small notes of the denominations OF
ones and twos. Money of this class is in
great demand in the South and South
west especially. Preference is given to
orders when gold is deposited for small
notes.
DR.. Abbot, president of the Mount
Vernon Railroad Company, has not YET
returned from the North. When be
shall, his attorney here, Colonel An
derson, says the work of producing that
road from Alexandria to this city vii.
commence.
1t is said at populist headquarters
here to-day that if suitable arrange
ments can be made Senator Stewart o.
| Nevada will make 8 speech in Rich
mond next Saturday. MIR. Goodies
course in withdrawing from the contest
in theP Petersburg district is not endorsed
there. 1t is stated there that a popu'
list will be run in the Norfolk district
and that he will get q large vote.
First Assistant q. s. Attorney Gener
al Holmes Conrad, of Virginia, will, as
soon as the cases he has in charge that
are set for the October term OF the U.
s. Supreme Court, shall be disposed OF,
go to West Virginia aud make some
speeches for his friend Congressman
Wilson.
The Department of State has been
notified OF the death of George Albert
Liernur, a citizen Of the United States,
