V. \sii:s<.ton, October 11.???A few days since the
< :>uiiwl for Ml* Christiancy in the divorce suit now
in-nding between licr husband, ex-Minister Ghris-
tiancy, and herself, intimated to the attorneys for
Christiancy tirnt they had no desire to make a wit*
tiese of tho wife iu the ease, and would prefer that
the principals to the suit be not called upon to tes
tify. The other side informed them that the ex-
aonwtor would be placed upon the stand, nnd his j
testimony taken at the proper time. Upon becom
ing acquainted with the fact, the counsel for Mrs I
Chrivtiancy decided that in justice to them- ]
selves they must hear the testimony of their!
Ciietit in the case. Accordingly a session was held
and the lady placed upon the witness stand, where
s.!ie was kept three hoars. In addition to the attor
neys cx-Sciuilor Christiancy was present and re-
tTiiuicd during the hearing. Mrs Christiancy
not boim; a competent witness as to the charges of
oduilery, her testimony was confine*! to acts of cru
elty a?? alleged in her cross bill, f-he testified that
while residing in Iansiug, Michigan, with her hus
band in the month of March, 1877, on one occasion
Ac struck her and knocked her down. Again
daring the Christians holidays in the year 1878,
v irile they were residing In this city, lie struck her
ttnd knocked her down nnd during the night would
not iMurnit her to have any clothing on the bed. The
vo.-iitlver was extremely cold and she arose and went
to'an adjoining room, trying to make herself more
Comfortable. When site started to leave the room
which they had been occupying together lie refused
to permit her to take any clothing into the next
room with her, ???and site was compelled to pass the
night with the raiment she wore and what little
could be found in the room that she had entered.
In Peru in the month of August, 1879, while living
cit the legation, he struck her several times, and on
one occasion pushed her out of the house and shut
tho door against her. Afterward she returned
with her husband???s son. He struck her
again, and shut lmth herself and his son out
doors. He then culled the son to come back, and
<->!d him if he went away with witness must lie
forever. The sou answered that it would lie for
ever, nnd kept on and escorted her to the hotel,
W here she remained nlf night. The next day he sent
for her to come track, the messenger saying that he
v is very sick, delirious and iu almost a dying con
dition. .She went back to the legation, and instead
of licing sick, ns stated, she found her husband
quietly sitting in the sitting room iu his right grind.
He became very kind to her, mid-remained so
until the next Monday. Then he came to her
bed, abused her, pinched ;lier, and used all
sorts of violence, and said that he told nq untruth
when he said that lie wns sorry for the manner in
which he hud treated her. One month later at the
legation lie assaulted her while dressing. As lie
portative of the present meetings. Nearly
ail the states are coming to the
iden of a jnst but -triet regulation ofl railroads and
several of those which do not now have commis
sions are agitating the question of establishing
them.
Tlie commissioners now in Atlanta are men of
brain and experience and they represent the dif
ferent sections admirably. The present meeting is
sure to result in great good to the public.
It will come nearer making a gen-
oral system of regulating railroads than we have
yet had.
ONE OF TIIF, CIO QUESTIONS
which the committee considered last night was sug
gested by Major Campbell Wallace, of the Georgia
commission. It was this:
ltailroads ure frequently sued by parties for dam
ages, and it is well known that in such suits the
juries are generally prejudiced against the railroads.
Frequently exorbitant damages are given for very
trifling injuries, and the idea of Major Wallace is
that the different states shall classify and regulate
this subject as well as tariff-. In other words, there
ought to be some limit to extortion against the
roads, as well as to extortion by them. The idea
a novel one. but it shows
what a thoughtful and broad-minded man
Major Wallace is. The committee is carefully con
sidering the question, and It will probably lie one
of the ehief elements in the discussions which will
coir.e up to-day.

THE STATE FAIR.
I'repurutlmn. for a Good .Show.
The state fair, which will open at Macon next
Monday, will be an exhibition well worth seeing.
It will be directly under the control of the Georgia
state agricultural society, with Colonel Tom Ilarde
man. president, br IIII Cary, general superinten
dent. and E C Grier, secretary'- All
the railroads offer low rates, and Macon
will have on her holiday clothes next week. There
will be an excellent display of the agricultural and
material resources of the state from all its sections.
Field crops will be well represented and homo in
dustries will have a full show. The fact that no
entry fees will ' be charged will hugely in
crease the number of exhibits. One of
the- attractive features of the programme
will be the races, trotting iffad running, which will
occur every day. Among the entries are some of
the best horses in the country.
Cuptain Bogardus. with his three sons, will give
exhibitions of their skill with shot gun and rifle
during tho fair. The money premiums offered
amount to over 8s,000. besides a great number of
medals.
There is no reason why the Macon fair should not
lie a great success.
The grounds are the most beautiful in the south,
and the management of the fair will be us good as
could be, organized. The visitors to Atlanta, as
well as bur home people, would enjoy a trip
to the central city some day next week to witness
the efforts of the state agricultural society to afford
a good and interesting exhibition.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
Their Fourth Annual Meeting in Atlanta???An Impor
tant Soolim.
Tuesday the fourth annual convention of the
ail way commissioners of the United States met in
Atlanta. ,
This meeting was called at the instance of the
Alabama commission, which suggested that an in
terchange of ideas on the subject of railway regula
tion might be of great practical value.
The legislature of Alabama also passed certain
resolutions recommending such a gathering of the
men nnd the ideas which rule the railroad system
e: the couutry.
The general object of the meeting is to consider
the condition of railroad legislation, to see what
improvements can be made in thp regulations of
interstate commerce, nnd, in short, to study the en
tire subject of railroads in its broadest sense.
This is a time of association of ideas, and the
railroad commissioners are not behind the spirit of
the times. It is thought by those best posted that
great practical good will come from this Interming
ling of thought and comparison of methods.

She is a most exemplary woman, of tine men
tal qualities and character. A perfect"woman
she always loved her husband with a love
so intense that no base action of his, or in
justice to licr could destroy it. But .Fisk
was a kind husband, thought not always a
conscientious one. While he lived in New
York he kept his wife in magnificent style
in Boston. Her every want was anticipated,
and she lacked nothing in the line of com
fort and luxury. Nearly every week the
husband went to Boston to spend Sunday
with his wife, and the visits were presuni
ably a pleasure to both. At the time of Fisk's
death his wife hastened to New York on the
night train, ttnd arrived at the bedside of her.
dying husband just in time to be recognized
and pray God to receive his poor soul. The
death of her husband, whom she adored, was
a sad and powerful blow to her, and from
which she never fully recovered. Her spirit
seemed to have left her, and she lives as one
who had no mission on earth, and only waits
until the time shall come when sheshall'mcet
her loved one in heaven. Jim Fisk
at the time of his death, was estimat
ed to be worth $3,000,000. In bis
will he gave lie gave to hissister, Mrs. Hooper,
$100,000 in Narragnnsett steamship shares; to
his father and mother, $3,000 a year each; to
each of the >wo Misses Morse, friends of his
wife, $2,000 a year; to the Ninth regiment,
$11,000, and to his wife the balance of his
property, which included all his shares in the
Erie railroad. To his partner, Jay Gould, he
bequeathed nothing, but intrusted him ???the
labor of love,??? as he expressed it, in carrying
out all his schemes.
It would naturally ho thought that Mrs.
Fisk would inherit an enormous sum of mon
ey from the vast business interests of her hus
band. But no. Through the raseality, sc
rumor says (and which hits never been denied
by the person most interested, although his at
tention has been called expressly to the charge),
of her husband???s most intimate friend and
business associate, she was defrauded out of
her rightful millions, linn Air again states,
and I may say it, is well founded, that in
winding up the affairs of the notorious firm,
the widow of the murdered member receiv
ed only a few thousand dollars. It is need
less to mention the name of this
false friend, but he is to-day the fore
most millionaire in New York. Some of
his transactions are so large that he forgets,
few days after, whether a certain payment lie
made was $5,000,000 or $10,000,000. He eon

Mrs. Fisk, poor in the world???s riches, but
wealthy in all that goes to make up a perfect
woman, is now living in comparative poverty
in North Hatfield, Mass., dependent for her

Fisk lived for some time at the South End,
but being unable to eke out an existence, she
went to her sister's house, where she will
probably remain until called to meet her

the baseness and ingratitude of man. Of all
things that can be said against Jim Fisk, not
one word can be directed, with justice, against

of life has been strewn with thorns, not roses.
Albany, October 12.???At 1:30 o'clock this morn
ing. the committee on credentials of tho democratic
convention decided to admit only the New York
county delegation, to the exclusion of the Turn-
many and Irving hall delegates.
Tammany delegates will leave for New York at
o'clock. The weather is cold and rather bleak.
The attendance in the gallery and on the stage is
much thinuer than it was yesterday or last night.
Printed circulars signed by the executive commit
tee of the young men???s democratic club of Brook-
n have been distributed among the delegates,
addressed to the Kings county deputation and to
the members oi the convention, strongly opposed t j
any compromise with Tammany; and arguing that
their exclusion will strengthen rather than weaken
the democratic party of New York.
Mr Hill called the convention to order at 10:25
nnd announced that the first business would be the
report of the committee on contested seats.
Mr Peckham, from the committee on credentials,
reported the contests which hud been considered
and tlie decision of the committee. When the de
cision iu favor of the New York county democracy
was announced there was some cheering but
not very much. Mr Peckham concluded by
moving tho adoption of the report, and asked for
the previous question. There was no opposition
and the report was unanimously curried.
Mr Holliday, from the committee on permanent
organization, presented the committee???s report.
Tlie name of Krastus Brooks for permauent chair-
Tnan was received with applause. The report was
idopted without dissent, aiid Mr Brooks, on bein;
escorted to the chair, addressed the convention at
onsidorable length. After expressing abhorrence
at the crime which had deprived the country of its
president, he said: ???It is impossible to forget at the
first meeting of the democrats of this state
state convention since the defeat
of our national standard-bearer that his vote in No
vember last was some thousands iu exeess of the
vote of the inaugurated president, nor can it escape
our memories that in the canvass of 1876 a distin
guished citizen of our own commonwealth w-as
made president by a constitutional election both in
substaueo and numerical majority In excess of a
quarter of a million of votes.??? He said it becomes
democratic voters of the state neither to forget the
past nor to forgive an offense which practically
disfranchised two states of our union and thou
sands of American citizens in order to make a man
president w-ho received neither a constitutional
vote nor an honest election. The present time is
pronitious. iu this state at least, of restoring
power and responsibility to the democratic
party. He declared democratic prinei

l ions, honest men in office, honest money for the
people, with gold and silver as the only certain
standard of value. The tariff for revenue, which,
while it affords all necessary* means for the liberal
support of the government, paying all
its debts and meeting all its obligations,
gives ample protection to every great interest in the
country' free ships on seas by the restoration of that
American commerce lost to us by the follies of leg
islation and home rule for our cities, and as far as
possible in our towns and counties. In tlie name of
right, justice and liberty, we also demand a
diminution of that central power in the
federal government, which makes states and
people the servants of federal patronage and
power. Reviewing the course of tlie republican party

He referred to the attempted reduction of appropri
ations by the democratic senators. In one session,
they did succeed in a reduction of tlie appronria-
tions $40,000,000. In this state, when iu power,
during five years of control, democratic legislation
reduced the state debt from $50,000,(100 to $???.),'000.000,
and the state taxes from $16,000,000 to $17,000,000.
