He said, Gineral Grant I feel happy in being
chosen %tk. me jou to Weptrn Pennsylva
nia, fne oeople ot these two cities hive as
sembled heie to greet you and to honoi one
who has brought so much distinction upon his
country For months they have been gazing
with wonderous interest upon a luminous
tra k, en. irchng the globe, passing over
oceans and rivers, through lands of light and
darkness, jet e\er bnghtemuj, and whose
brilliant tram io destined to shine ou while the
union endure-,. Long after tl god of nations
has fulfilled in you the purpose of his provi
dence, and long, long alter we who now in
habit these busy sceneB shall have fallen into
forgotten masses ot buried ages, that journey,
air, has attiacted to joursclf the eyes of man
kind, and through jour achievements filled all
nations with the knowledge of country
men, allow one who has not a motive to flatter
nor a expectation to g-atify to differ from
that sentiment your modesty has altered that
the honor which has illuminated your pathway
has been foi \unr countrymen alone.
Then tir, while we have been a bmall part in
this great national demonstration, we feel that
universal i timent of your countrymen and
a nation as broad as the continent and contin
uous as, day, compel the conviction that our
words of welcome bear no spice of affectation,
and fall far short of the truth. And now, sir,
la the name and in behalf of all these good
citizens, I gieet jou and welcome yon home
to a home as wide as the Union jou saved,
and as warm as patriotic hearts can make it.
At the clo'p ot the address of Judge Agnew
there was loud and continued applause, and
when it had snb ided Gen. Grant said: "Mr.
Chief Justice, ladies and gentlemen: It is a
somce of deep giatitication to me that my
course has bceu approved. It is a somewhat
agreeable fa that during the years of my ab
sence I have not known a day's sickness, al
though I have been in every lattitude. It is
aUo a sourse of gratifacation and acknowledg
ment that an invisible power protected me in
my journey. It is, moreoves, a source of grat
ification that the countries abroad are ac
quainted with the history, resources and
grand areas of this country. It re
requires but little observation of Ameri
cana abroad to fully appreciate our country.
In contrasting our country with others, the
ease with which a poor man can obtain a live
lihood is apparent Oar country is largely in
favor of a pool mau acquiring a home. In
comparison with the European nations there
is a soil and extent of territory capable of ac
commodating 500,000,000 people without crowd
ing. This is a Bource of great gratification and
should make our people more patriotic and love
their country better. In all this there is one
regret, and that is that I can't properly reply
to the flattering and able address of the chief
justice. I would bs much better satisfied if I
could reply in the manner in which it was de
livered. Ladies and gentlemen and Mr. Chief
Justice, 1 thank you for what has been said and
what I see.
THE BAJ,QUET.
The banquet tendered to Gen. Grant to
night at the ManogahelahouHe,by the citizens of
Pittsburgh, rt as one of the most brilliant and
auccesf ul social events in the history of Pitts
burgh. There were covers laid for two hundred
guests. The assembly was composed ot our
most prominent citizens, representatives of
the bar,minmtij and our commercial interests,
irrespective oi party affiliations. The banquet
hall was elaborately decorated with flowers,
evergreen, banners, etc. The proceedings were
opened abmit eiirht o'clock, and after discus
sing the viands for about an hour, the speech
making begr
Mr. John C. Uicket=on, a merchant, presided
and led off with an eloquent speech, touching
upon the salient features of Gen. Grant's ca
reer as a soldier, civilian and traveler. The al
lusions to his victories, to a modest bearing, to
a possible still more glorious future for the
distinguished
uelit i was received with marked
enthusiasm.
The regular older of toasts was then taken
np. W. D. Moio, Esq a leadm? Democrat
and the toast master, in course of a brief
speech prefatory to the toa=t "Our Guest,"
ave an interesting account of the per
sonal happenings in vicinity of I'ort
Gibson, when Gen. Grant was &
command at that point during the late war,in
which be refeired to the kind manner in which
Gen. Grant had treated him and his family, in
sending them north. He (the speaker) said he
was surmised at the time that GeD. Grant
should so willingly send an able-bodied man
north, instead of holding him as a prisoner.
Mr. Moro at that time was a minister of tne
Gospel, preaching in that vu-inity. Mr. More's
allusion to these incidents of personal
intercoune with Gfc. Grant, were received
without burBts of applause,and merriment.
At the conclusion General Grant was called
upon to respond, and when he arose to his feet
he was received with great cheering, which
lasted fully five minutes. When quiet had
been restored he spoke as follows:
Mr. President and Gentlemen: This beino
Saturday night it is hardly legitimate to keep
open longer than midnight. In reference to
the Sabbath I find on looking over the toasts
that the speeches must be confined to an aver
age of about seven minutes if we are to get
through in time. We have had two speeches
already, occuyying thirteen and a half min
utes, so that gives me just abont a half a min
ute yet (great laughter.) My powers of speech
making never were very good, bat my knowl
edge of mathematics waa rather perfect. Now
I have figured this down to a nicety, (great
laughter) and the more time I can spend in this
way the less I will have to say about other
things.
In making his speech, the Vice President
has pleasantly alluded to the fact that I sent
him an able-bodied man from, the South up
North. Well, I was down there just for that
purpose. Great laughtor and cheers. We
were alwajs glad to get able-bodied men who
were in the South at that time up North,
[laughter] and if we couldn't get them up any
othei way we sent them up under gard, and
were willing to furnish rations to them,
but we were always glad to get able
bodied men who would support
themselves, and not require good, able-bodied
soldiers to guaid them. (Laughter.) I want
ed to get him North, for I knew he would stay
North if wo once got him there, and never take
up arms againtt ns. (Cheers.) Mr. President,
hasn't my time expired?"
"No, sn on have one-quarter of a minute,"
the presiding officer replied.
Gen. Grant then held no a half of a smoked
cigar and said: "1 assure you I will finish be
fore this cigar goes out. (Cheers.) Allow me
to thank j'ou for your kind expressions. I am
glad that you called upon me so early in the
evening, for now I can sit here and see ou all
enjoy yourselves."
Appronriate toasts and responses were made
bj- prominent citizen-i, among the number
Judge Agnew, Kirkpatriek, Collins and others,
and the festivities concluded at midnight with
three rousmg cheers for Gen. Grant. The dis
tinguished guest will remain here until Sunday
night when he leaves for Harrisburg. Mrs.
Grant had a reception at the residence of Mrs.
Judge Stow, where she leceived calls from the
wives and daughters of our leading citizens.

The Haddleston divorca business appears
at the front aain. This time it is in the
,shapa of an application by Mr. Haddleston
for the custody of the children, and he files
the following affidavit:
Thomas R. Huddleaton, the defendant in
the above entitled action, came before me this
day, and having been first duly sworn, did
depose as follows:
The plaintiff, Helen M. HnddleBton, and
myself were married at Buffalo, New York, on
August 17, 1870. From January 23, 1863, I
had been a widower, my first wife, Julia M.
Huddleston, having died on the latter-men
tioned day, leaving our two children, Minnie
Dunbar and Lyman Gert, then aged respec
tively 6 and 3 years.
At the time of my second marriage I resided
at Hastings and soon after that event I re
turned thither with the plaintiff, and we resid
ed there until sometime in the year 1873, when
we removed to St. Paul.
A few months prior to our marriage, and in
contemplation thereof, I purchased a house
and lot in Hastings, for our residence, and had
the same extensively altered and refitted, at a
total cost of about $4,b00.
The greater part of the articles used in fur
nishing the same were purchased, about the
time of my marriage, at Buffalo, New York,
and Detroit, Michigan. Most of such pur
chases E'were gmade with the assistance of
the plaintiff's advice, and, in making the
same, I deferred, as far as means permitted, to
the tastes and inclinations of my wife, which
were usually very extravagant. The furnish
ing of the house cost about $1,500, and we
had one of the most comfortable homes in the
neighborhood where we lived.
I also bought, about the time of
my marriage, a horse and buggy
ior the use of my wife and
the family bnt my wife was
always greatly dissatisfied with the buggy, ap
parently thinking a mere buggy not stylish
enough for her use and I then bought a family
carriage. Shortly before our marriage 1 pre
sented the plaintiff with a diamond ung,
which was worth the sum of $250 and at the
time of our marriage I presented her with a
watch set with diamonds and a chain, which
were worth $150. My wife contributed to our
establishment nothing save some silverware,
which had formed part of the weddiug gifts,
some bedding and some linen. About a year
afterwards she purchased with her own money
china to the amount of about $100. In the
year 18731 collected, with great difficuly, from
the plaintiff's brother, the sum of two thousand
dollars, part of a debt owing by her brother to
herself, and invested the same in our residence
in Saint Paul.
The plaintiff had also a small income, derived
from the indebtedness due her from her
brother for two or three years after our mar
riage but the whole thereof was expended by
herself for her individual purposes, and very
little, if any of it, went to diminish the de
fendant's family expenses, save as I have
just stated. My wife has never contributed
any money or any article for the comfort and
support of the family, but all the family ex
penses, including the wearing apparel and or
naments procured for my wife's use since our
marriage, except some trifling presents from
her friends, have been paid by myself.
On Christmas, 1870,1 presented the plaintiff
with a handsome set of coral jewelry, and some
silver plated ware.
In tho year 1872, about the holidays, I pre
sented her with a heavy set of gold ear rings,
and also a handsome set of Dicken's works.
In the year 1873 I presented the plaintiff
with a heavy and handsome gold chain and
locket, worth about $125.
During that time the deponent also present
ed the plaintiff with several handsome articles,
including a gold Fcarf ring set with a diamond
star. For some time prior to my marriage
with the plaintiff, I had been engaged in the
practice of the law at Hastings, and had en
joyed an extensive and lucrative professional
business in addition to various profitable in
vestments, and during eight years of that pe
riod, I had held the office of county attorney
of Dakota county.
But, notwithstanding these facts, the plain
tiff soon acquired a great dislike,tor the city of
Hastings, and for the people thereof although
without any cause or excuse for she had uni
formly been treated with kindness and consid
eration by the best people of the town.
To such an extent did plaintiff's dislike of
and contempt for the people of Hastings pro
ceed, that in a conversation between her and
myself, tonching the relative merits of the
people of Hastings, and those of Buffalo, N.
Y., where she had lived for a short period, in
response to an expression of myself of a favor
able opinion of the people of the former town,
she declared that she would not wipe her feet
on the Hasting's people and this although she
was affable to the people of that place, while
in their presence.
In consequence of such dislikes conceived
toward said town and the people thereof, the
plaintiff, in the year 1872, began to importune
me to remove from Hastings to some larger
place. She said Hastings was no place for her
self or myself.
I told her that it was a great risk for a pro
fessional man to take leave of a good practice
for an uncertainty. She told me that if I
would go to St. Paul, she would get her money
from her brother and buv a house in St. Paul, to
assist me in the start that she didn't want to
have her money invested in Hastings. The
moneys referred to were her share of her de
ceased father's estate.
The amount of the same, I tried to ascertain
about a year atter our marriage but was un
able to ascertain the same with any
degree of accuracy, nor whether the same
was secured or not nor did she appear to
know herself. She said when she had wanted
money she asked her brother for money and
got it and he was reluctant to tell me much
about it. I said that she onght to know the
amount of her money and how it was secured,
for the child's sake as well as her own.
I told her that since our marriage it had cost
me a great deal for our house and furniture
and living, and expenses of travel, etc. That
we had lived beyond mj income. That if I went
to St. Paul her buying a house would help me
a great deal, because I did not expect to suc
ceed at once and I should lose considerable by
selling my property at Hastings.
That some capital would be needed to make
a respectable appearance in St. Paul. I yield
ed to her repeated importunities and promises
and being soon afterwards offered twenty seven
hundred dollars for my residence anl thiee
lots which had cost me, but two or three years
before, about 4,800 dol ars, I sold it and gave
possession April lst,1873.
My wife and I came to St. Paul to look for a
house for her to purchase. I askad her if I
made a contract for purchace, whether she was
sure that she could get her m*ney because if
I did buy and she could not get it, my busi
ness standing in St. Paul would be much hurt
by fan re to fulfill my agreement. She said
6ne couh. --et the money at any time. 1 finally
told her tv ''.she and the children had better
go East and, with her friends, and that I
would close op my business at Hastings and go
to St. Paul and look around before buying, in
order to become better acquainted, wirh loca
tions, prices, etc. She then went East, taking
all the children with her.
I moved to Si. Paul on May 1st, 1873, and
opened a law office. I bought a lot for 2,500
dollars, which I paid for wholly with my own
funds. She wrote me that her brother, Mil
ford Hammer, into whose hands the money be
fore mentioned, coming from her father's es
tate, had gone, could not pay her and she
ST. PAUL, SUNDAY MORNUSTG, DECEMBER 14.
seemed wholly indifferent as to whether he
paid it or not.
In August following I went to Buffalo to
visit my wife. She treated me quite coldly on
my arrival. She was quite indifferent whether
we had a house or not, or whether I succeeded
in St. Paul or not. I told her my distress at
the turn which things had taken in respect to
the purchase of a home in St. Paul. I remind
ed her of her promises made to me on my re
moval from Hastings, and the sale of my
property there, that she would herself buy a
home in St. Paul, and stated to her that I had
relied on those promises as an inducement for
making the change. But she denied every
thing, and told me that she never agreed to
anything of the kind. I was greatly hurt by
this exhibition of bad faith on my wife's part,
but I had to extricate myself torn the finan
cial embarrassments iu which it necessarily
put me, in the best way I could. I was sorely
troubled in mind about our financial future,
and so expressed myself to my wife but hhe
seemed entirely indifferent about our pros
pects, as well as about my distress. I saw her
biolher Milford about her money. He was as
indifferent about the matter as she and
would give me no information as to how much
be owed her, o- when he would pay. Af tei a
few days I saw him again, to get his final an
swer and he at last told me that he would pay
in the fall of that year. I then leit at once
for Minnesota.
On my return I had plans drawn and cen
tracts let. When the house was about half
completed the Jay Cooke failure took place.
My wife's brother wrote me that he should not
be able to pay. I wrote and telegraphed him
from time to time that \e must pay, for I had
obligations to meet.
Fearing that he would not pay, I sold a large
quantity of land and other property at half its
value to enable me to fulfill my engagements
with the contractors on my house. Milford
Harmon sent me one thousand dollars in No
vember, 1873. I insisted that he must send me
more as soon as possible. He finally
sent me $1,000 more a day or two befor^ Christ
mas, 1873. The moneys so sent me by Milford
Harmon were used in building my homestead
in this city. Harmon never paid over any
more of my wife's money to my knowledge,
and about four or five months afterwards be
came bankrupt, owing over sixty thousand dol
lars and having only nominal assets. He still
owes my wife $4,400 and inteiest, as my wife
made oath in the bankruptcy proceedings,
$2,400 of which had been loaned to him since
our marriage, as appeared fiom a statement in
his own handwtiting, forwarded to my wife to
use in making proof of her claim against him.
The remaining portion of the $4,400 was the
balance due on a promissory note given prior
to our marriage.
To the best of my knowledge my wife has
never received a cent of the balance due to her
from her brother, nor has she made any effort
whatever to collect the same or to have him pay
any part thereof, although for several years
last pat she has informed me he was doing well
at Jackson, Michigan, in the employment of a
concern engaged in the manufacture of mill
machinery. I have tried repeatedly to induce
the plaintiff to procure from her brother his
promissory note, or some other evidence of the
existence of her claim against him, saying to
her that for the childrens' sake, if not for her
own, she ought to take some steps to secure a
settlement of this claim, or to preserve some
evidence of its existence at the very least but
she has never paid any attention to my advice
in regard to the matter, and has always failed
to give me any definite information concerning
the claim, and has never appeared to care
whether any part of it were collected or not.
But she has, on several occasions, told me in a
general way that her brother would give a new
note at any time that the claim was perfectly
safe, and that this matter was none of my
business.
She always seemed to be displeased because
I had succeeded in collecting the $2,000 afore
said. She further told me that if the first sum
of $1,000 had not been sent to St. Paul when it
was sent that she would never have returned to
this city, but would have remained in New
York, where she was then visiting.
Our house was completed in December ot
that year and we moved into it in the
Month of January, 1874.
The house and lot, with some improvements
made upon the house since the completion,
have cost me over eight thousand dollars.
As the result of my sacrifice of my property
at Hastings, and of sacrifices made subse
quently, to enable me to meet my engage
ments incurred in building our house, my to
tal assets were diminished to the extent of
several thousand dollars, and I was left wholly
without any productive property, and entirely
dependent for the support of mycelf and fam
ily upon what remaining capital I had, and
upon my professional earnings in a new locali
ty. But notwithstanding these facts my house
hold expenses largely increased, the greater
proportion of which I was compelled to pay
from my capital, so that by the year 1877 my
estate had become very much reduced below
the value at which it stood when I left Hast
ings. But in April, 1877, Martin L. Vebber, a
great friend of mine, as well as a client of
mine, and a wealthy man, died at Utica N. Y.,
and bequeathed to me two pieces ot real estate
in the city of St. Paul, and $10,000 in money, as
a result of which I was put in a somewhat bet
ter financial condition than I was when I left
Hastings. During the last two years my house
hold expenses have exceeded my professional
income, and I have been compelled to draw
upon my capital as the chief means of meeting
the deficiency.
At Christmas, 1677,1 presented my wife with
a pair of elegant and expensive ear rings and
in the year 1878, when I visited my relatives
in England, whom 1 had not seen for many
years, and some of whom, particulary my
mother, were greatly advanced in age, and
whom I never expected to see again. While I
was absent in Europe my wife sent to me
measurements for eostly wearing apparel, Buch
as silk dresses, etc. I purchased the material
for the same and had them made in London.
I also purchased at the same time for my wife
a long seal skin 6acque and muff of the same
material, and a quantity of French flowers and
other articles.
The total expenses of this trip to Europe
were $1,034 for wearing apparel and personal
ornaments for my wife and children.
During the entire period which has elapsed
since our marriage my wife has been supplied
with a sufficiency of stylish, comfortable and
expensive wearing apparel, at my expense.
From the time when my present wife and
myself commenced housekeeping until the
year 1877, we have habitually employed at
least one domestic servant, and, since that
date, we have habitually employed two also,
during periods of my wife's confinement, we
have employed in addition thereto professional
nurses.
Besides this my daughter Minnie, now 22
years of age, my son Gent, now 19 years of
age, have constantly lived in our familj', and
sundry relatives of my wife have made us fre
quent and protracted visits.
Our household has been uniformly supplied
with a sufficiency of food and all other articles
necessary for the comfort of ourselves and our
family.
In the last few years our household has con
sisted of nine persons, besides occasional visit
ors.
From almost the beginning of our married
life, with intervals very few and very short,
the plaintiff has treated me coldly, exhibiting
very slight affection or regard for me.
For the first few years I hoped that I might
yet gain her affection, but for the last three
years I have felt that she had no love and re
gard for me, and have borne her ill-treatment,
insults and annoyances as best I could for the
sake of our children and the avoidance of
scandal.
Prior to our marriage my wife and myself
had met each other only a few times, and were
really very little acquainted with each other
when our marriage occurred. Although the
plaintiffs coldness of demeanor toward me, and
her lack of interest in my comfort and welfare
apparently increased in spite of all my efforts
to conciliate her, no marked difference occurred
between ns until some time in August, 1871,
about five weeks after the birth of our first
child, Harmon.
At that time the plaintiff's sister, Mrs. Frank
Welsh, of Medina, N. Y., was paying ns a
lengthy visit. One day my son Gent and my
self intended to go into the country to shoot
game. The family then consisted of the
plaintiff, who had wholly recovered from the
sickness of her confinement, myself and my
son Gent, then abont 11 years my daughter
Minnie, then aged about 14 years, and my in
fant son Harmoa. Shortly prior to the particu
lar day referred to, Mrs. Giles, of Northfield, a
professional nurse, who had attended my wife
during her confinement, and until her com
plete recovery thereafter, had left us. Our
only domestic servant had left us the day be-
fore,![8o that wejwere temporarily without any
hired help. Our dinner hour was 6 o'clock p.
M. At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon my
eon and I were ready to start on our hunting
excursion, and had requested that some lunch
be prepared for us. Our usual lunch time
was 1 o'c'ock P. M. We waited for lunch until
about 3 o'clock, at which time none had yet
been prepared, nor were there any signs, that
this defendant knew of, that any lunch would
be prepared, or that any preparations were
making therefor, aud we started off with
out any, and called on our way out at
a hotel and procured some ciackers. We re
turned at about 7 o'clock that evening, and
found her sister, Mrs. Welsh, sitting outside
the house on the front porch. I went into the
house and into the dining room, and there
were no signs of any dinner having been pre
pared or saved for ua. The dinner dishes,
seemingly, were all cleared away. I waited
some time to see if any ot them would get ns
something to eat, and no one came. They
still remained ou the porch. I spoke out loud
enough for them to hear me, and said, "Are
we not going to have something to eat?" when
Mrs. Welsh come irom the porch into the hall
near the dining room door* where I was stand
ing, and answered me by saying, "JNellie,"
meaning my wife, "didn't come out here to
work." I replied that "I didn't want her to
work unnecessarily, but we were hungry and
wanted something to eat," and then I said to
her, "What have you got to do with my wife,
or what business is it of yours? You are a
guest here, and I don't want you to interfere or
be impertinent, and if you don't like my style
you had better leave''and 16h ut the dining room
door between her and myself. She then came
around by another door and was quite imperti
nent to me. I had no words with my wife.
There was nothing that I knew of or saw that
was kept in the oven or elsewhere for ns to
ea.%. What we got to eat that night, if any
thing, I do not now distinctly remember, but
it was of no great impoitance. My wife,
without my having any words with her, de
serted my bed and slept with her sister that
night. She came down stairs in the morning
and told me that her sister was going down
town to get her breakfast, and that unless I
apologized to her sister, that both she and her
sister would leave that day and go to Buffalo,
N. Y. I went up stairs and saw that they had
already commenced to pack Up their clothes
and had got out a good many of my wife's
things preparatory thereto.
Fearing exposure and scandal, and believing
that my wife had been badly advised by her
sister and would, in her anger, in order to re
sent a supposed insult to her sister, leave me, I
was foolish enough to apologize to her sister,
and she did not go away from my house to get
her breakfast, and all seemed pleasant again
for the time being but my wife's sister pre
vailed upon my wife, a few days afterwards, to
insist upon going to Buffalo, and she was de
termined to go without my consent. Seeing
that I could not restrain her from so doing, for
appearance sake, and not wishing to make a
scene, I made no further objection, and they
went, and by appointment their brother-in-law,
Oscar Folsom, met them in Chicago and took
them to Buffalo, as my wife afterwards in
formed me. My wife wrote to me about a week
or ten days after this a cold letter, in which
she said in substance that she supposed I would
like to hear from the child, if not from her, and
signed herself, "Your unworthy wife." Her
departure broke up our housekeeping, and my
self and Minnie and Genty, my children by a
former wife, who were left behind, were com
pelled to go out to board.
My wife remained absent from home about
two months, when I went after her and brought
her back.
It is not true, as alleged in the reply herein,
that on any occasion about four months before
our daughter Mary was born, or at any other
time while plaintiff was in bed with me, I
scolded, threatened and abused her to such an
extent that she attempted to get out of my bed
and to leave the room nor is it true that I on
any occasion caught her and locked her in the
room, where she spent the remainder of the
nighu on the floor, or that my wife ever spent
the night, or any part thereof, on the floor of
any room, on account of any action on my part
nor is it true that the arms of the plaintiff were
ever black and blue from injuries received at
my hands on any such occasion as alleged in
said plaintiff's reply.
About tho month of July, A. D. 1876, my
wife's sister, Mrs. Emma Folsom, and her
daughter came out to visit ua. On her arrival,
my wife', without any cause for so doing, de
serted my bed and went to sleep with ber
sister. I did not particularly resent this
action at first, thinking that it would continue
only a few nights. After several weeks repe
tition of the same thing, I remonstrated with
her about leaving my bed, but she paid no at
tention to it and I also on the night referred
to in the complaint as being in August, 1876,
as my wife was about retiring to her sister's
bed I again spoke to her about it, and also spoke
so loud that her sister could hear me, and said
it was not right that her sister should come to
my house as my guest and take my wife from
my bed and soon after I retired my wife came
from her sister's bed to mine. She laid down
on the edge of the bed most distant from me
and turned her back to me. I asked her what
I had done to deserve such treatment, and I
attempted to put my arm around her in an af
fectionate manner. She said, "Let me alone.
I want to go to sleep." I said to her, "Isn't
it the truth that you desire to sleep with your
sister, and not with me?" She replied "Yes,"
and I said "Go then," at the same time giving
her a push with my foot. The bed was a very
low one, being only fourteen inches from the
floor, and my wife could not have fallen there
from so violently as to have caused her any
particular injury.
She arose from the floor, calling out for her
Bister and othns, apparently with the design of
arousing the whole household and creating a
scene. I arose from the bed and she rushed at
me several times in great anger and struck me,
at the same time calling me names, such as
"villain," "brute," etc. When she rushed at
me I seized her by both arms for the
sole purpose of protecting myself, and
not with the intention of injuring her in
the least. She still continued to struggle and
tore herself loose from my grasp two or three
times at about this time her sister, and I
think my daughter Minnie, rushed into the
room when I threw her on the bed, and es
caped from her. I told her then, that she had
struck me and that as it had now come to
violence she should leave the house that night.
Mrs. Folsom replied that Nellie would go in the
morning. I said, again, that she should go that
night when Mrs. Folsom replied as before, and
both left the room. I took some dresse3 which
my wife had hanging in the closet of my sleep
ing room, and threw them out in the hall. The
foregoing is all that occurred between myself
and wife that night. It is not true that after I
pushed my wife out of bed, I thrust her on the
iloor nor that I commenced pounding her nor
that I in any manner struck her nor is it true
that on the night before said occasion I had
been fretting and scolding her till after mid
night nor that she was agitated and wearied
by my said conduct, and begged me to allow
her to go to sleep she did not sleep with me
the night before the said occurrence but slept
with her sister, as before stated nor is it true
that she was ereatly injured by me on that oc
casion: nor is it true that, on account of the
same, she was confined to her couch some three
days.
On the evening of the next day soon after
dinner 1 went to the bed-room occupied by her
sister and found her there. She was lying on a
sofa. I went up to her, and in a loving way
asked her how it was that she had made so
much trouble and exposed our differences to
the servant. (Our servant had left that morn
ing). She said Bhe was going to Buffalo with
hei sister and they would keep house there
and she said her sister had housekeeping
things enough to keep house, and
asked if she could have the
carpets in the parlor and library. I asked her
what she intended doing, or how she expected
to support herself. She replied that a nsin
of hers living at Lancaster, near Buffalo, N. Y.
had got a place as a clerk in a store, and she
thonght that she could get such a place. I
told her it was ridiculous to think that she
could take care of the children (as she wanted
to take them, with her) in a proper manner
while earning her living as clerk in a store
and I said to her that I never would consent
while my wife that Bhe should do anything of
the kind, and I told her I had no intention of
being unkind to her, and that her actions to
ward me in leaving my bed and then on com-
g#r
ing to it and treating me as she did provoked
me so that I pushed her out of bed.
She had gotten over her passion and put her
head on my shoulder and 1 caressed her, and
she came to my bed and allowed me favors,
and I gave her ten dollars, and the next day
she was around again as usual and appeared
entirely reconciled. Nothing more was said
by her about going to Buffalo, or securing a
clerkship, nor about her leaving me. How
ever, she still continued to sleep with bier sis
ter, during her sister's stay, which lasted a
month or more afterwards.
After Mrs. Folsom's departure my wife may
have slept with me a few nights, but she again
left my bed without any cause, and from that
time forward she has always neglected to
sleep with me, except in a few instances dur
ing the period of about a week or ten days af
ter my return from England, in the year 1878.
I had written before my return from England,
to her, saying in substance that she must be
more like a loving wife to me, and sleep with
me, and we must live a better Christian lite,
and se^a better example to our children.
On my first return my wife appeared to ac
cede to these requests for a few days, but she
soon fell off into the old manner of treating
me and again left my bed, going to sleep with
my daughter Minnie.
The affidavit continues at great length de
tailing differences which arose owing to her re
fusal to act the part of a wife. The "ale
scene" is recapitulated in substantially the
same manner as iu Mr. Huddleston's former
affidavit, coupled with a denial that he knocked
her down, or choked or kicked her. The affi.
davit repeats at length the failure to provide a
suitable meal, which led to the quarrel where he
pulled her false hair. Tne tidy or fancy work
which he cut up immediately after this quar
rel was what he supposed had occupied the
time of his wife and daughter, and prevented
their getting the meal during the absence of
the servant, and being irritated by his wife's
conduct he destroyed it. When he learned
it was a wedding present his daughter was
making he greatly regretted the act and gave
her money to replace it.]
ACCUSED OF INFIDELITY.
In regard to the time when Mrs. Huddleston
alleges that he choked her, Mr. Huddleston
avers that owing to a number of suspicious cir
cumstances he had grown suspicious of his
wife's fidelity. These were partly increased by
her treatment of him. He says:
For the rest, it consisted of certain matters which
cannot be related without mentioning the name of a
man, who may be, and I hope is, entirely innocent
of any wrong toward me, and, therefore, whose
name I do not now wish to divulge, which wish I
am supported by the advice of my counsel.
He says he tild his wife it she would explain
the suspicious circumstances and swear that
she was innocent, he would accept her denial,
but she refused to either deny or explain, and
he became much excited, both of them talking
loudly, but he did not choke or strike her. The
next day she appeared very much changed and
teas more affectionate than she had been for a
long time, and his suspicions were quieted.
Some time in the month of October Mr.
Huddleston called with his wife
upon a distinguished gentleman
at a St. Paul hotel, and while
there the person whom he suspected came into
their presence and acted very familiar towards
his wife. It was this fact which led him the
next day to say to her in substance:
"You know what I suspect you of, and if I
could get positive proof of it I would throw
you over that fence, and if there is a hell, when
you die I believe the bottom place will be re
served for you."
BREAKING THE DISHES.
The affidavit continues as follows:
I admit that, in the summer of 1S79,1 on one oc
casion pushed over the dining room table, and
caused tho contents of the same to fall upon the
floor. I had gone home from business that day, in
the evening, perhaps a little later than usual, for I
had been detained by business engagements I
entered the dining room, and found no person
there. The table had upon it nothing but the dirty
plates of the restof the family, who had eaten before
me, and the bone of a ham, from which the meat
had been almost entirely removed. I thought that
my wife had takenthis means to annoy and Insult
me, and it angered me. In the heat of the moment,
I purposely pushed over the table and let the dishes
fall upon the floor. The table and dishes were my
own, and I bave always considered that I might
break my own dishes if I chose without giving any
body elseground for complaint.
A BOX.AHI) TOB HEB OLIVER OK THE DBINKINQ
QUESTION.
It is not true that since I have been married to the
plaintiff I have been in the habit of drinking intoxi
cating beverages te excess. I have always used
beer, ale, and liquor, and occasionally wines, but ex
cept very rare instances with great moderation
but have very rarely been intoxicated Since the
plaintiff and myselt have been married I have gener
ally kept ale or beer in the cellar, and a decanter of
whisky or brandy on the sideboard but the plaintiff
has never, to my recollection, objected to my use of
such beverages.
On the contrary, ever since our marriage, the plain
tiff has been in the habit of using ale, beer, wine and
liquor herself, and sometimes to tho extent of pro
ducing drunkenness. Tne second or third time I
ever met the plaintiff, she was at a beer garden in
Buffalo, New York, drinking beer.
Shortly after our marriage, on our journey to this
State, while temporarily stopping in Michigan, my
wife drank whisky to such an extent that she became
very much intoxicated, and acted in a very wild
manner iu the night, BO that I was compelled to go
for a physician. A day or two afterward she drank
champagne at the hotel table in Detroit to such a
degree of excess that she became purple in the faee.
Tor several years, during the winter season, both at
Hastings and at St. Paul, the plaintiff was in the
habit of drinking a lot of whisky toddy nearly every
evening before retiring. For the past two or three
years she has not been in the habit of drinking so
much whisky as formerly, but has drank more ale or
beer. Often upon our return together from claces
of entertainment, we have stopped on th way home,
at her request, in front of some saloon, to procure
beer for her on which occasions I would enter the
saloon, leaving her outside, and bring the beer to
her, which she would drink. Frequently, at home,
when the supply of beer or a'e would be temporarily
exhtusted, at her request, myself or Gent would go
to some neighbor ng grocery or saloon and get beer
for her.
HIS ENTERTAINMENTS.
He denies the charge that he was in the habit
of bringing friends to his house and indnlging
in excessive drinking and unseemly conduct.
He enumerates a number of entertainments,
chiefly gentlemen's card parties, given at his
house, naming the persons present, the names
including prominent military, professional and
business men in this city and State, and also
residents of the East. These are given in evi
dence of the reputable character of the enter
tainments.
MISCELLANEOUS.
He clai that when he spent his evenings at home
his wife afforded him no society or amesensent, and
he passed his time alone in his library. He also al
leges that his wife did not admit him to any of her
confidences that she kept her correspondence very
exclusive, and instructed the postman to deliver her
letters to her alone, not allowing him to know who
her correspondents wire. He also claims that he
has always exercised a proper fatherly care for the
chddreu, while hi3 wife takes no pans or trouble
with them, aud since the separation does not send
them to school.

A young man named Cornelius Cashman, who
has furnished the police with plenty of work
for the last year, is again wanted, this time for
stealing an ulster. Cashman visited a dance
at the Dayton farm, a short distance from, the

A small boy named Willie Ashton was at
police headquarters with a grievous look on his
face, and an ugly wound on his arm. Both
had been given him, so he said, while he was
just doing nothing at all, by a dog on Robert
street belonging to a Pole named Makosky.
His countenance was smoothed out and balm
poured upon his wound by the promise that
the dog should be looked after over the sights
of a trusty revolver.
It's decidedly likely, though the military
folk are not a committee, that the proceedings
in Reno'B court martial have reached Gen.
Terry's headquarters, and it is said that it's
"six to half a dozen" whether they go beyond
the headquarters in St. Paul. If they don't,
Reno isn't dismissed, or if dismissed, the sen
tence is not approved by Gen. Terry, but this
latter contingency isn't likely. If there's
much delay about the'promulgatlon of the order
it's fair to infer that Reno has been dismissed,
subject to the approval of President Hayes.
From the above the reader is free to infer what
he pleases.
