* m G THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, OCTOBER 18, 1881 AN INJURED WIFE P EL.ATES in court the story of HER WRONGS. Kn. Cbrl.tiancy'a Revelation* on the Witness Stand ???The House of Ribaldry into Which Her Hus. band Introduced Her???A. Pitiable Tale of Suffering on Two Continents. 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. EW YORK???S CONVENTION TAMMANY AND IRVING HALL TOLD TO STAND ASIDE While the Democrats of the 9tatc Meet in Convention to Consider the Interests or the People???The Platform and the Nominations-Topics of Interest Before the Convention. was striking her a gentleman slopping in the house clip { ???rot cot ion. After that she refused to live with him onger. and a few days later left Peru for home. No material change iu her direct testimony was jiro- din ed by her cross-exninimiiinn. Mis Christiancy further testified that when Chris tinney took her to Iris home in Michigan, in the 1 of himself and fiimtuer of 1870, the family consisted live sons, fourgrownaud the other 1:; years of age. About two years of her married life was spent in Michigan, boring that lime she had charge of the house, and with the exeqptioii of the services of an Inexperienced servant girl, 15 years old, she per formed the household duties, including mending, thy men's clothes. Tho youngest *on, George, was very kind to her. and- they grew quite fond of each other. The others were kind enough when sober, but all were addict ed to drinking. When intoxicated they would quarrel with themselves anti their father, use low language and have frequent brawls. .Site protested . spv against Wing compelled to endure that kind of n life * - - - - pram band's sons, which he promised to provide, but never did. She said she wanted to get a divorce, cud if there were no grounds, would get sonic: un less at a time when she was indignant at the treatment received, she did not be lieve in divorce. When she left Peru, she did not intend to apply fora divorce, although Christiancy refused to provide for her. She did not 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. MRS. JAMES FISK. think of doingso until after he applied for u divorce the ground of adultery. front heron the ground of odulien'. After she re turned home from Peru, she said nothing about w hat occurred there except to iter own family. Nhc kept from the public the fact that they had sepa rated ami tlie cause of it. and would not have made i: public until com|iclle??l to do so by his |>etitinn for divorce, even if lie continued to refuse, to support her. 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. tiff OK MUWATK.

Wc now cotne to the third person of the surviving characters???Mrs. Lucy D. Fisk, the loving widow of the man so shamefully slain 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 trols thousands of miles of railroads and about all the telegraph lines in the country 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 living on the bounty of a kind sister. Sirs, 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 maker. Mrs. Fisk is in good health, is of rather stout build, hut has that sad far-off expression which makes her appear as not long for this world of sin raid trouble, have called iiyumor to aid tne in stating Sew plain facts,'but rumor is absent in mak ing any statement to the effect that the man whom Mrs. Fisk???s husband put on the track of one of the largest fortunes in the world, has ever offered to assist her. Mrs. Fisk has withdrawn from the world. She sees but few friends and desires to remain in seclusion, preferring tin* company of her own thoughts to that of any person. Her case is a sad one. and illustrates the vicissitudes of this life anti 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 Iris wife. She is a noble woman, and iter path 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 [lies in brief to be honest elec 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.

The Edison stock ' reported to be selling at $1,000 per share, and it expected that the stock of the Markland Electric light company will be in demand at a premium over par the present price, after the present offer ings are sold.

The star route swin dies has cost the government more than t million of dollars in unnecessary taxation euch year. 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. T1IE PLATFORM. The report of the committee on resolutions after pledging* the party principles set forth by the New York slat : state democratic coiivt-utior.s in 1874,1875 and 1876, and to those of the St Louis convention, repeat ' of the the declaration of tlmt people were defrauded fruits of the victory in the elec tion of 1876, aud assert they were also defrauded by the flagrant corruption in the election of 1880. Reform throughout the federal adminis tration is still a necessity. The continuing diselo sures of new and hitherto concealed plundering of the people's fluids, by inner rings in the treasury, postoflice and interior departments. The depart ments demonstrate that reform is now more than ever a necessity. It remains likewise for the demo crats of the state of New Y'ork???and it is their first political duty???to resume and carry on to successful completion tire great measures and policy of the administrative reform begun . in 1874. Resolutions denouncing the assassi nation of the president as a crime against authority, against free institutions and against humanity. They renew the demand for the re funding of the national debt and declare gold and silver to be the true legal tender and the basis of all [>er mediums, aud insist on the payment of tlie pr/ncipal and interest of every dollar of the public indebtedness. Readjustment is repudiation. The act of northern republican leaders in giving die support of that party to Mississippi, Minnesota repudiation in Virginia and other states is a national disgrace, dangerous us a precedent and destructive of the public credit. The resolutions demand a thorough and immediate investigation into the star route and other frauds ou tlui federal , already too treasury, and the vigorous prosecution, long delayed, of all the partici pants. both high and low, and asserts that the money stolen by these plunderers from the treasury was used as a corruption fund in the last presidential election. After a vigorous arraign ment of the republican party on its legislative record in this state during the late sessions of the legislature, the resolutions declare in favor of such refarm by legislative enactment as well as by ad ministrative action on the civil service of the country as will substitute for the present periodical scramble for spoils a wise system) of appointment and promotion, by which the incumbency of subordinate offices shall be regulated by law, and depend only upon capacity and character, and demand that no assess ment shall be levied on public officers for political purposes. Public welfare demand warious questions relating to chartered monopolies, and methods of transportation should be met and decided, and we are in favor of the adoption of measures restrict the growini They should be sul commission cstabli All unjust discriminations * in the trans portation of passengers and merchandise should be prohibited. After a strong protest ist the tendency to centralization In the policy of the republican party, the resolu tions definitely challenge a comparison of tlu record of the democratic party with that furnished by the factions which were ouce the republican party of this state.
