After a married life of a little more than five months, Wm. F. Bernhardt today ap- plied for divorce from Antoine Louise Bern- hardt, to whom he was married here June 10, 1896. The complainant charges that three days after the marriage his wife left him, being absent three days and nights. He forgave her, and they resumed their relations. Re- cently he left his wife, because, as he charges, he had discovered that she was unfaithful to him. He charges infidelity with two or three men.

This was in line with the expressions of Vice Fresident St. John on the same sub- Ject to a Star reporter who interviewed him in Norfolk and whose interview was published in Monday's Star. ‘The impression in the best informed cir- cles is that within the next day or two President Hoffman will demand of General Manager Foster of the Baltimore, Chesa- peake and Richmond (otherwise the South- ern) Steamboat Company the withdrawal of the steamer line of the latter between Baltimore and Norfolk. It is known the demand will be refused.

Shill- ing Did Not Sign. SS The opposing factions of the champion military cempany of the United States met last evening in animated session. From 8 o’clock until nearly midnight the hearing was continued, but very little in the way of effecting a settlement of the troubles was accomplished. The meeting was brought to a close when Capt. Shilling ap- Pcinted a committee, consisting of W. T. Shane, P. J. Brandt, James E. Loveless, J. 'W. Babson and C. T. McCurdy, to audit the accounts of the fair committee and to ex- amine Into the financial affaira of the com- pany. This committee will meet Friday evening and submit a report to’ the com- pany Tuesday evening next. In spite of the counter attraction of a big fire, every member of both factions was in attendance. In addition the parents of sev- eral of the bolters, several aitorneys and notaries public and newspaper reporters were present when Capt. Shilling rapped for order. He opened the proceedings by clearly defining the object for which the meeting was called. Capt. Shilling stated in plain words that he could, if he so de- sired, settle the difficulty in short order. For reasons best known to himself, how- ever, he had concluded to be lenient and, if such was possible, effect a compromise with the bolting faction, in the belief that such would be to the best interests of all concerned. The merits of the case, said Capt. Shilling, would not be touched upon, and neither would he permit any exchange of personalities during the evening. At this point it was moved that every one be ex- cluded from the room except members of the company and an attorney representing the factions. This course was finally decid- ed upon, and Capt. William Edward Hor- ton was invited to be present as attorney for the Shilling faction, and Mr. Pearl Schell, a notary public, as spokesman for the bolting faction. Capt. Shilling requested Capt. Horton to make a statement on behalf of the com- pany. Capt. Hortoa reviewed the sitna- ton, laying stress on the fact that the ma- Jority of the company was with Capt. Shil- lng, and that no question existed but that the Shilling faction was in the right. In order to amicably settle the matter Capt. Horton suggested that the bolters consent to rescind their articles of incorporation, let their affairs be investigated by an audit- ing committee. and upon the acceptance of a report of that committee, he said, each man of the bolters would be granted an honorable discharge if he so desired. Mr. Schell took exception to the remarks of Captain Horton. He characterized the bolters as the original and rightful Mofton Cadets. “We were invited here,’ Schell, “to confer—” “I wish you to distinctiy understand,” interrupted Captain Shilling with a display of spirit, “that you were not invited here. This ts a meeting of Company A, 3d Bat- talion, and you were ordered here as an enlisted man of that company.” The bolting faction demanded that Cap- tain Shilling attach his signature to a writ- ten promise setting forth that he would do as he said he would. The bolters then submitted the following paper and asked Captain Shilling to agree to it: “I, Edgar A. Shilling, do hereby agree that I will give of my own free will hon- orable discharges to all of those who may make application for the same. That I will publish in the daily papers statements denying all previously published state- ments of irregularities in conduct or dis- honesty cn the part of certain members as false. That all furniture and fixtures bought by Mr. A. B. Claxton and loaned to the Morton Cadets shall be returned to him or purchased from him by the com- pany.” After reading this statement to the meet- ing Captain Shilling remarked that it made sweeping statements which really dictated to him, ard, of course, he must decline to sign it. Hereupon Captain Shilling’s fol- Icwers went into conference and urged their leader not to parley further with the bolters. They considered it a reflection on the captain to even consider such sug- gestions from the seceders, “Your sympathies have been worked upon by the parents of these boys,” was the declaration aimed at Captain Shilling by one of the company. ‘You should re- member that you are an officer of the Na- ticral Guard, and that you should do your duty as such, notwithstanding your per- sonal inclinations in the matter.” Captain Shilling was obdurate, however, and he brougnt matters to a close by nam- ing the auditing committee mentioned. He declared the meeting adjourned just as one of his followers arose to put a mo- tion that the bolting members be expelled from the company. There is no question that the motion would have Leen seconded and promptly passed. In that event the men expelled would necessarily have been dishonorably discharged from the National Guard, “because of expulsion frgm_ their company,” in spite of Captain Shilling’s determination to be lenient. >— Arrested at the Fire. The big fire at Smith’s planing mill last night made a good deal of extra work for the police, for in a crowd such as gathered about that scene there is always more or less disorder. Several arrests were made, and three of the unfortunates were in the Police Court this morning. The first case heard was that of a white man named Geo. F. Collins, who sports the badge of a special policeman, and is em- ployed by the District Mutual Telephone Company. He was in the crowd, but in- sisted on breaking through the line to get a closer view. of the fire. The police say that he presumed altogether too much on the authority given by his badge, and was under the influence of liquor. When order- ed back he made a nuisance of himself and made use of considerable improper lan- guage. He was fined $5. Charles Wilson also protested when or- dered beck into the crowd, and two police- men testified that they heard him using profanity. The seme fine was imposed. Joseph Rey, colored, was arrested for about the same offense. Just before he was arrested the policeman saw a. big open knife in his hand, and Roy was fined $25 or sixty days in jail. ——— Thavksgiving Day Races at Benning.

Brilliant Man Given Up to the Drink Habit. Not a day goes by but some pathetic in- cident comes to the surface in the stream of gin qmisery that flows through the Police Court. Judge Kimball had been in his place but a short time this morning when an elderly white-haired man stepped to the bar of justice. It was not his first appearance, for Wm. J. Farrity, educated and cour- teous gentleman that he seems to be, oc- casionally looks upon the cup when it is red. He was arrested on 7th street last night, under the influence of liquor. He was locked up on the charge of vagrancy. In court this morning Farrity admitted that he sometimes drinks to excess, but in- sisted that he was no vagrant, for he has @ comfortable home, and is regularly em- Ployed in the office of one of the leading | claim agents in the city. - “It's a shame,” said the judge, “that a man of your years should be an habitual drunkard.” “But,I am not, your honor; or I never could Reep my position.” “I don’t want you to go down to the workhouse. I would much rather give you a chance to change your manner of life. Step back into the dock and I will send for ycur employer. If he will say a good word for you I will give you another chance.” Later in the morning Farrity’s employer came to court to look out for. his clerk. He told the court that Farrity is a brilliant man, and would make a success if he would only leave liquor alone. He frequently earns as much as $200°a month, and also acts as clerk to a member of Congress. Farrity promised to do the best he could to stop, and his employer agreed to go on his bond, —— MR. WITMER’S CONDITION. Declared to Be of Unsound Mind by Marshals Jury. After deliberating nearly two hours, the marshal’s jury in the case of Calvin Wit- mer, the well-known groceryman, late yes- terday afternoon returned a verdict to the effect that Mr. Witmer has been of un- sound mind since the 4th of last July. The inquiry into Mr. Witmer’s mental condition was ordere® by the court upon the petition of his brother, Milton Witmer, who claimed that his brother has been men- tally incapable of managing his affairs for several months, and asked, therefore, that a committee be appointed by the court ta care for his person and estate. After The Star’s report of the hearing closed yester- day, the afflicted man, who had been placed upon the stand, was examined at great length by Mr. Jere M. Wilson, representing the petitioner. His memory was shown to be very defective, he being unable to recall the first name of his late partner, Mr. Du- vall. He was also unable to recall events of recent occurrence, and appeared to be at a perfect loss as to his business affa! verdict of the jury will, it is said, void the conveyance of certain property since the 4th of July, but will not, it is claimed, disturb two conveyances made to his sister-in-law and daughter-in-law, said to have been made previous to that date. ———_—__. Knock-Out Sentence. Judge Cole has sentenced Matthew Mer- rigan, alias Fred Mason, alias Happy Jack Lawton, convicted recertly of administer- ing knock-out drops to Farmer Burrows last summer, to five years’ imprisonment in the Albany penitentiary at hard labor. The charge against the prisoner was that of assault with intent to kill, and it ap- peared during the trial that he induced the farmer to accempany him in a drive to Jackson City, on the way administering the drug. The farmer was pitched from the carriage just beyond Jackson City, and the prisoner robbed him of his watch. The police authorities say that the convicted man was only recently released from a Pennsylvania prison, after serving a term for a similar offense. oes She Was Acquitted. Three hundred pounds of colored feminini- ty known as Louisa Blagden, and attired in a green calico dress that loloked lke the wildest dream of a man suffering from delirium tremens, was in the Police Court this morning, charged with profanity. She got into an altercation with one of her nearest and dearest friends, another col- ored sylph, and the way she swore was something remarkable. The information stated that the occurrence took place in Armory street southwest, while the testi- mony showed that the profanity all hap- pened in a back yard. It was fortunate for Louisa that such was the case, for she was perforce acquitted of the charge against her. Amusements Tomorrow.

Mr. Brynn to Be Present—Other Busi- ness Transactdbat the Meet- ing Last Night. a . The Jackson Demogratic Association held an adjourned meeting at Meyer's Hotel last evening to make arrangements for a ban- avet to be given by thé association in cele- bration of Jackson day, January 8 next. Mr. James L. Norris, the president, was in the chair, and Mr. N. Sardo acted as sec- Jetary. Under a suspepsion of the rules, Mr. J. McDowell Carrington, Mr. Clement W. Howard and Mr. Latimer were elected to full membership. y Mr. Brookshire, from the special commit- tee, appointed at the last meeting to invite Mr. William J. Bryan to address the asso- ciation on the occasion of the celebration, made a brief report of its action. He said that in pursuance with instructions, the committee had sent a telegram to Mr. Bryan on the 17th instant, but so far had received no response. He read the text of the telegram, as follows: “The Jackson Democratic Association of the District of Columbia, next to Tammany the oldest political organization in this ceuntry, at its regular meeting this day (November 17) unanimously voted to have you address the association at its annual tanquet in this city on Jackson day, Janu- ary 8, 1807. The association is especially desirous that you speak at our nation’s capital, amid its splendid historical sur- roundings, and where you would have the pleasure of seeing the numerous friends who had the pleasure of meeting you dur- ing your congressional service.”” The telegram was signed by James L. Norris, president; E. V. Brookshire, C. T. Bride and H. W.’ Rowell. Reply Expected Soon, Chairman Norris said that Mr. Bryan Was away from home when the telegram reached there, but that” he was informed that its contents would be communicated to him at once. It was his impression that Mr. Bryan would reply by mail and he looked for the arrival of a letter at any time now. He rather expected its arrival tomorrow (this) morning. Mr. Norris was confident that Mr. Bryan would favor them with his presence unless he had made en- gagements which would prevent his doing so. He hoped, however, to get some definite information on the subject tomorrow or the rext day. It was ordered that the report of the com- mittee, including the telegram to Mr. Bry- an, be spread upon the records. Mr. Whittaker, Mr. McIntire, Mr. Norris and other members each reported informal- ly that he found great interest being taken in the proposed celebration by members of the association and others, and that there was every indication of a large attendance, iMluding many distinguished representa- tives of the party. Mr. Snowden said that in view of the stringency of the times, and in order that nobody should be kept out, he hoped that it would be arranged that the expenses of the banquet should not exceed $5 a plate. This suggestion met with general favor ard will undoubtedly be heeaed by the special committee charged with the ar- rangements. Mr. Allen moved that a committee of seven be appointed to: look into the matter, with Instructions to: report at the next meeting. He thought: the banquet would not cost as much as $5 a plate. At any rate, there was no disposition to shut out anybody. Mr. McIntire moved an amendment that the committee consist of five members in- stead of seven. He thought that a com- mittee of five could do better work than a larger one. Mr. Killeen’s.Speech. Ai this point Mr.) Killeen interjected a short political speech. He had always heard, he said, that consistency was a jewel, and-if that were @o, he thought “the Jackson..Democratic. Association ‘was a jewel as big 2s a mountain.” He was full of joy and hope for. the futyre, he said, and was confident the Jackson Democratic As- sociation would not always be on the out- FOPOPOSOOS SOD FOO EOD FOOD OOOO4 Ringin Noises in the ears, sometimes a roaring, buezing sound, or snapping like the report of a pistol, ate caused by catarrh, that ex- ceedingly ‘disagreeable and very’ common disease. of smell or hearing also re- sults from catarrh.

Cranch McIntire, 8. V. Brookshire, P. M. Snowden and C. T, Bride. President Norris is a member of the committee ex officio. A desultory discuesion followed in regard to where the banquet should be held and the selection of a list of speakers, but no final action was taken on either subject. Remarks were made by Mr. Brookshire, Mr. Snowden, Mr. Allen, Mr. McIntire, Mr. Norris and others, and the best of feeling prevailed. The Metropolitan Hotel, the Riggs House, the Raleigh and the Arling- ton were suggested as places for the ban- quet, and an offer was made by Mr. Jarvis to have it in the National Rifles Armory, but no conclusion was reached. Consider- able opposition was expressed to one of the hotels named, on account of the politi- cal stand taken by the proprietor during the campaign, and several of the members sald if the banquet were held there they would have nothing to do with it. Among the probable guests and speakers were mentioned Vice President Stevenson, Sena- tor Blackburn, Senator Walsh, Senator Gorman, Senator Vest, ex-Attorney Gen- eral Garland, Mr. Evan P. Howell of Georgia, Mr. Page N. Baker of Louisiana, Representative McMillin, Senator Daniel, Mr. Brady of New York, Representative Solger, Gov. Stone of Missouri, Mr. Collyer of Tennessee and others. It was announced that there would be at least 250 persons at the banquet. Their Republican Allies, “How about the republicans who fought under our banners?” inquired a member who sat back in the rear. “Oh, they will not be overlooked,” re- plied the chair quickly; “we will have a ‘warm welcome for them, too.” Before adjournment it was arranged to meet again next Tuesday evening to con- sider the report of the banquet committee.
