WONAN'S CHARGES
PROVED IN COURT
Former Treasury Officials
Wife Granted Custody
of Children.

Chief Justice Clabaugh. OF the District
Supreme Court. today awarded Mrs.
Lily s. Lewis an absolute divorce from
Harry S. Lewis. formerly an official Of
the Treasury Department, and now en-
ploycd in New York.
BY the terms OF the decree she is
given the custody OF their TWO children,
Fielding. aged eight, and Arthur. aged
two. The court ordered Mr. Lewis 10
pay counsel fees.
The marital troubles Of the Lewises be-
gan last January. when Mrs. Lewis
Ned a bill alleging cruelty The notoriety
incident 70 the case caused the Treas
ury officials 10 request the resignation
OF Mr.. Lewis in April. and a few days
after he left for New York, where he
secured a position.
Said Husband Struck Her.
In the bM Mrs. Lewis declares that
her husband had been guilty OF strik-
ing her. @ nd that although he received
a good sa4ary and she had reasons TO
believe he bought silk stockings and
gloves which she never saw, he failed
20 properly provide for herself and her
children.
She said that she was obliged 10 take
in boarders TO make both ends meet
and that Lewis would drive them away.
Harry H IIoIlauder has acted IN the
cspactty Of attorney for Mrs Lewis
during the entire trial and it is due
largely TO his handling Of the case that
tho present victory resulted.
First Asked Separation.
Mrs. Lewis originally filed suit Tor
separation and alimOny on the charges
Of abandonment and cruelty. She
claimed at that time that her husband
brYtauv maltreated herself and her
children.
Afterwards she secured information
which led her TO file a suit for an abso-
lutte divorce on the grOun- Of tnfdelity.
In this bill she referred to the pur-
chasing OF silk stockings by her nus
hand which were never received by her.
Lewis made no effort TO refute the evil
dence brought against him.

did not dare attack except by shells
from his batteries. The meager result
of this was the capture of a disabled
caisson. Stuart then moved on TO
Gainesville, and from there to Buck
land, to deceive Hancock with the i'm
preston that he was trying to get back
to Lee.
Apparently Stuart's ili-success lis
couraged him from attempting to cap
ture an: more trains in the rear of our
troops, for he gave up his original de
sign of moving on TO Centerville. In
stead he made a long sweep to the
southeastward by the way of Brentsyilic
to reach Wolf Run Shoals, where he
crossed the Occoquan and headed for
Fairfax Court House. This took him
very much farther to the rear of our
army and nearer Washington, and
heightened his march very materially,
to the detriment of his horsenesh.
At Fairfax Station he found only a
small body of cayalry-ScottS 900
which put up a pretty stiff fight. in
which the Major Of the LIST y. c. Cav,
and an officer whom Stuart valued, was
killed. He next struck for Dranesville,
where he found the campfires of Sedg-
wick's Sixth Corps still burning, and
captured several stragglers from the
corps. Then he pushed on for the Po-
tomac, and found a citizen. who guided
him to ford. He did some damage to
the canal and captured several boats
loaded with troops, negros and stores.
He then learned that Hooker was north
Of the Potomac. had been the day be-
fore at Poolesyille. and had left in pur-
suit of Lee. This was highly impor-
tant intelligence for his commander, and
Stuart started TO carry il to him. He
moved on to Rockville, meeting with
no other resistance than that from a
detachment of the I'd n. Y. Cav, which
was not great enough to- impede his
march. At Rockville the telegraph line
was torn down for miles A train eight

sent to capture it and succeeded, tho
the rear was only three or four miles
from Washington. More than 125 good

and a number of other wagons burned.

soon discovered our approach, and made
a demonstration toward attacking us,
which was promptly met by a gallant
charge by Chamblisss leading regiment,
which not only repulsed the enemy, but
drove him peli-mell thru the town with
half his plumbers, capturing his ambu-
lances and a large number of prisoners,
all of which were brought safely thru to

the enemy's fresh troops: II my COM
mand had been well closed now this
cavalry column. which we had struck

mercy, but owing to the great elonga-

long way behind, and Lee was not yet

permanently from the army, to which
he Should have been the eyes, and al
lowed Lee to move on into an unknown
country without any knowledge of the
position and strength of the forces in
his neighborhood. There is no doubt
that Lees movements were greatly
hampered by the absence of a large por-
ton of his cavalry, and that he finally
stumbled upon the Army of the Poto-
mac at Gettysburg with scarcely any
warning that it was north of the river
from which it took its name. Gen. Lee
says in mis- report, in fact, that his fail

it was his duty to rejoin Lee as soon as

midway between Westminster and Lit
