THE HUSBAND WAS HIT.
Marital Troubles of MIR. and Mrs.
Charles Edyxnrds

There was an exciting encounter on o1st
street northwest between n end o streets
yesterday afternoon, in which Charles Ed
wards, colored man, received severe blows
on his head with cane in the hands of
Thomas Overton. Two years ago Edwards
and his wife lad some trouble and she
sought redress in the Police Court 1t was
apparent that there were no longer two
souls with but a single thought in the fam
lily, and certainly the two hearts did not
beat as one. Mary Edwards is a cookbook
ing woman and her manner of dress makes
her attractive in colored society. Such be-
ing the case, Mary had no trouble to find a
male friend when her husband left the city
and went to Chicago TO work. While he
was in the windy city working Mary was
having good time here, although she
had professed that she was sill true
TO him. Thomas Overton had been
calling on her and they had been out to-
gether He is waiter at Osborne & Ho-
bans but he says there were no improper
relations existing between him and Mrs.
Edwards. He had been calling at the house
for a long time. and in talking of her in
court this morning he spoke of Mrs Ed
wards as Mary
Yesterday afternoon he called at the house
TO take Mary" out for a stroll, and on this
nttle launt the pair encountered the hus-
band and trouble followed.
When the parties appeared in Judge Mill
ier court TINS morning a bandage covered
the head of Edwards who was suffering
from the effects of several wounds inflicted
with cane in the hands of Overton The
wife took the part of Overton and did the
best she could to get him out of trouble
She told the STORY of the meeting on the
street yesterday, and SAID she picked I'D
Overton's hat during the scuffie.
Il asked Mr.. OvertOn to walk down the
street with me-" she said. He didn' Z
ask me-
Where was his wife when you were out
with Overflow asked the judge.
Il don't know"
do you know her?''
Yes, sir. And 1 would have gone cut
with her If she had been there"
She added that Overton is not the only
married man she had walked with on the
streets.
During the hearing 1t cropped out that
Edwards was in prison when he was a boy
but that had nothing to do with this case
Judge Miller. I'm d!sposing of the case
said that although Overton and the other
mans wife may be innocent, he had better
keep away from the house and look after
his own family more.
For striking the husband with the cane
Overten was fined $50 or sixty days. The
husband was fined SO for disorderly con-
duct

THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE.
Argument i'm the Quo Wnrranto Pro-

TRENTON, N. j., March 12.-The argu-
ments before the supreme court in quo war
ranto proceedings to the legal senate
was resumed this morning Mr.. McDer-
mott, counsel for Robert Adrain dem },
continued his argument on a continuous
senate. He believed that If twenty-one
members of the senate should meet at
Trenton at any time and notify the gov
ernor, he must recognize them, even If they
were not called together. He argued at
length upon the matter of credentials and
quoted numerous instances from the prac-
tice in the United States Senate to show
that Senators were frequently refused ad-
mission on their credentials.
Mr.. McDermott emphasized his position
that less than eleven senators could make
a quorum. If the senate was a continuous
body, then a majority Of the senators in Of
fee made a quorum. In the recent or
ganiZation seven senators made quorum

OFF FOR THE POLE,
The Wellman Arctic Expedition to
Leave Washington This Afternoon.

Leave Washington This Afternoon.
This afternoon at O'Clock the members
of the Wellman north polar expedition will
leave Washington for New York prelimi-
nary to sailing Wednesday norning for
Europe on the steamship Britannia. The
members Of the party from Washington are
Mr.. Walter Wellman, the leader Of the ex-
petition; Prof. Owen 3. French, astronomi-
cal observer; DR.. Thomas b. Mohun, medi-
cal officer, and Mr.. Charles .. Dodge, art
list and photographer. The party start off
under the most favorable circumstances and
In the best Of spirits and confideat of u!ti-
mate success
Yesterday afternoon there was a pleas
ant gathering at the Press Club 10 bid Mr.
Weilnan Godspeed. For the past year Mr..
Wellman was president of the cl1o and
when he was asked to appear yesterday he
supposed 1t was with reference to some
business OF the organization. The occasion
was all the more delightful as being Il sur
PRISE. Inc Chairman of the house commit
tee, MIR. Butt, made a Few pleasant re-
marks and introduced the speaker of the
afternoon, Mr.. j. +. Durham, who gave Mr.
Gilman an eloquent send-off. and en- be-
hat or the club presented him with a beau
TRULY embroidered silk flag barring the
name Of the club and of the expedition, d.
rectlng him to tie 1t to the North pole and
IedNe IL Inere.
Mr.. Wellman has received a letter from
Col w. II. Glider, who IS regarded as one
OF the keenest and ablest of arctic STU
dents, and who made the famous sledging
Journey with the late Lieut. Schwatka
speaking or the Wellman expedition Col
Glider says: Il am so confident of your
success that l long to be with Won I am
sure you will return victor" In a recent
newspaper article upon the attack to be
made upon the north pole this summer Col
Glider says of the expedition from WASH
ington:
with the immensely superior material
now available for the equipment of his
party,both as to constant weights and food
ana arriving at the ice front in tune to
make an early start do not see 1oyy Well
man can fail to go far beyond the roint
reacheu Dy Parry, who not only started
late, but was hampered with equipment
which would now be regarded as exceed
ingly clumsy.
1T seems to me that they have chosen
the right path, and are going about the
work In the right way. 1t will be a pretty
race, however. between Wellnan and pea
~, and, though Peary started nearly a wear
ahead he has no advantage, for WeIrno N
cuts across lots, and when the race Tor the
pole actually commences he starts from a
point about 80 miles nearer the goal.
This is as it should be- 'earv IL tho
veteran. and it is fitting that he should he

all that either would ask. They are both
Americans, and as Wellman himself saws

OVER SIXTY BAPTIZED.
An Unusual Spectacle for March at
Springfield. III.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 12.-Three
thousand persons gathered upon the banks
Of Spring creek. about three miles west of
the city. this afternoon to witness the I'M
usual spectacle Of an open-air baptism Of
sixty-four persons in the month of March.
The ceremony was the sequel to a great
revival service which has been under the
leadership of Rev. James Thomas of Quin-
cy. at the Union Baptist Church. a colored
organization. The candidates and members
of the church were taken to the scene in a
special train of Six coaches.
When they arrived at the pool they
found the banks picturesque with dense
crowd of curious spectators. Several of the
girls of tender years seemed to be shocked
by the ordeal, and were carried, limp and
dripping. from the pool and handed through
the crowd up the bank to the canvas tent
which had been improvised for a dressing
room. The young men endured the cere-
mOny like Spartans. The candidates were
immersed in quick succession, the whole
service occupying little more than a half
hour.

Easy to Do

1.-THE carrying out Of the work is simple.
No contract can be made and no work &C
cepted without the approval of the super
vising architect
THE designer Of the building must super
wise the construction as 1t progresses, to
determine that his designs are carried out
The treasury architect must inspect it to
see that the government gets what 1t con-
tracts for.
Il cannot see any insurmountable diff
Guilty in these details.
The objection is made that this mode of
carrying on governmental work will adj to
the expense. This is a matter for expert
ment. Congress authorizes the experiment
do not believe it will add to the cost, and
do believe it will give US work that is
worth its cost.
1.-The selection of sites must always re-
main with the Treasury Department. The
suggestion that the bill be amended so as
to specify how the competing architects
shall be selected. and to limit their func-
lions TO the preparation of plans and speci-
fications, and to leave the execution of the
work entirely under the supervision of the
government architect, involves two propo-
sitions. To the first l say it is better not
to tie the Secretary's hands. lie is a wise
man, and his supervising architect can give
him the best of assistance. To the second
l say, the designer of the building ought to
carry it out, and the department will be the
loser If he does not
