By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. ALBANY, N, V., February 28.—There was a look of stern indignation on the face of Assem- blyman Patrick Burns of Brooklyn when he en- tered the halls of legislation yesterday morning. Over on the other side Assemblyman Howe of New York sat in his place a trifle pale and ap- parently ill at ease, though attempting to appear calm, The friends of Mr. Burns appeared grave, as though their bosoms concealed some secret of mighty import. Mr. Howe’s friends seemed anxious and expectant. It was easy to see that some great trouble was impending, The very air of the Chamber was heavy, vortenaing some hidden calamity. It was plain that Assemblyman Burns was mad, but it was only when later in the day it was learned how grieviously he had been offended that his fellow statesmen began to realize how mad he really was. On the evening before Assemblyman Daggett had given a dinner in honor of the youth- ful, but good and great Mayor Low of Brooklyn. Mr. Low was on a visit to the capital in the in- terest of an increased water supply for Brooklyn, and it had been appropriately arranged to di- ininish the water supply of Albany as little as pos- sible on the occasion. Provisions had been made for keeping the spirits of the party up in other Ways, and the lack of water was not seriously felt. Late in the evening Assemblyman Howe had deen invited, after the manner of men on such occasions, to respond to a toast and haa enterfained the party greatly. In the course of bis remarks he had illustrated a point by quoting from one of Assemblyman Burns’ Speeches in the Assembly last winter. Mr. Burns had a bill which he was very anxious to pass. He made a speech in favor of it, in which, with a rich Irish tongue, he had insisted that it ought to pass. “lverybody in moy dishtrict is fur this bill,” Mr. Burns had said. It is a good bill; I dhru it meself an’ 1 have petitions in me »0cKet from three chnrches and wan grave-yard n favor of it, an’ it ought to pass.” d WHILE THIS TAKE Or was hailed with great glee by Mr. Daggett’s hi- larious guests, it was not relisnead by Mr. Burns and some of his colleagues when they heard of it this morning. As they reflected on it they liked tno better. The peace and dignity of Long Island and that other island so far away, and from which so many statesmen come, had been insulted, and they were disposed to resent it. Mr. Burns was net a whit less exchted and wrathful than the others. <A few mischief loving hangers- on about the Capitol, seeing an oppor- tunity to get up excitement, took occasion offended Siatesman on to desperation, and by the time he entered the Assembly Chamber he had already in- timated his intention of sending Mr. Howea challenge. It was to Major Haggerty that Mr. Burus first indicated his warlike purpose. To him be said that he had been insulted, aud thas Howe should apologize, or “I will Kill nim. I am zolug now for my revolver,“ and at once left the Shamber. While Burns was gone Haggerty con- sulted with other members and notified Howe of what had taken place. Numerous plans were talked over to avert the threatened calam- ity. Meanwhile Burns secured a, pistol and prepared for active eperations. He returned to the chamber and matters became so serious that several members endeavored to pacify him, fear- ing that there might be an encounter. To three or four of these be exhibited a seven-shooter and expressed a firm determination to shoot Howe on sight the first time he should meet him outside of the Assembly Chamber. He wanted Mr. Howe to be MWarued of this determination so he might defend himself. These warlike expressions soon became generally Known, and members began to appreciate the fact that Burns was getting TERRIBLY IN BARNEST. Mr. Howe began to realize that something In the nature of pacificatory measures ought to be taken soon. i at all, aud watching, his opportunity, strolled over to the Democratic side, and, drop- ping into a vacant chair beside the irate member from Brooklyn, began to smooth him down. “I understand, Brother Burns,” he began, “that you feel aggrieved at something I said ata dinner at the Delavan House last night. I wish to assure you that I intended no personal reflection on you. We were all feeling good , and, intending to make some humorous remarks, I incidentally referred to you m a joking Way.” “[ wish you would go away from me, Howe,” said Burns, snappis niz. 1 don’t want to talk with you here, nordo I want you to sit by me. You are no gentleman. What I have to say to you will be said outside of this chamber.” “Will you allow me to explain?” “No explanation will answer, except it be an apology made as public as the speech you deliv- ered last night. The apology, if any, must be made on the floor of the House.“ “Will nut my present or personal apology suf- flee?“ “No, sir; it win not. I tnsist that you make a public apology before the members of the House. I tell you this, that if you don’t apologize: publicly within twenty-four hours I ghall tender my resiguation as a member of this Legisiature, and will seek my satisfaction the first time I meet you on the street. I am not a coward, and will not take you unawares, but give you due notice.“ At that he slapped his pocket, in which he had the pistol,in a very significant and dra- matle way. Finding it impossible to pacify Burns, Mr. Howe returned to his seat. Efforts were made to get the members TO QUIET BURNS DOWN. Mr. Oliver was appealea to, and Major Hag- gerty endeavored to get the pistol away from him, but coula not. Mr. Burus was in earnest, and in- formed other parties that he had “not touched a drop to-day.” He was purposely refraining, so as to keep his hands firm, bis nerves steady and his eye clear. Burns wrote a letter to his wife, and laid it on Mr. Earl’s desk, requesting him to de- liver it to Mrs. Burns. In it he notified her that he would not be home this week, and that he had got into a personal difficulty which would detain him some time. As there seemed to de no other way out of it, Mr. Howe made his public apology. Rising tc a question of privilege, be said that information had reached him that Mr. Burns was aggrieved at some re- marks he had made atadinner party the night belore, and from the misrepresentations and statements alleged that he had made, he was not surprised that Mr. Burns should feel aggrieved. He, however, regretted that anything that he had said should be construed into an offense by that entleman. With that, the matter ended in the amber, and the Assembly soon after adjourned, THE PUBLIC APOLOGY, . as above given, appeared to satisfy Mr. Burns, for he immediately went over to t the letter to his wife and tore it up. He was not at his hotel early in the evening, and some anxiety was felt on that account. He returned, however, at 11 0’clock, and said that the affair between him and Howe was ail Wer. He also said that if Howe had not made a public statement tbat he should have resigned to-morrow and sent a chal- lenge to Howe to meet bim outside the city. If Howe bad not responded he should have shot him at sight. It appears from Burns’ statement that Howe’s remarks at Daggett’s dinner when they reached Burns became magnified into an al- leged attack by Burus on Mayor Low in lew Irish and a like aspersion on Dr. Gray,of the Utica Asylum, and several others, all of which were en- largements and additious to Howe's after-diuner speech, made by those who were trying to stir up A row. UNDEK THE OLD LIBERTY BELL. A Wedding that WII Form « Part of the Nation’s History. By Telegraph tothe Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, February 28.—Samuel Jacka- way of Manayunk, who was sent to prison on a charge of breach of promise of marriage, pre- ferred by his housekeeper, Mary Owens, sent word to Judge Hare a few days ago that he was reaay and willing to marry.

He isthe Rev. Mr. Frambes, at your service.” The Rev. Mr. bowed so iow that his yellow curfs nearly tou the bride’s breast. He sells coats at Wo er’s but he is a regularly ordained minister. Come. now, let us be off.” Father Heritage, followed by the bride and half a dozen women who had over- beard the conversation, hurried out the doorway, cut 322 the square, and went into Independ- ence Hall by the back way. Here we are!” cried Father Heritage. Here's a place to make your eyes blink.

Father eritage and Clerk Goode and the deputy sheriff arranged themselves beside the groom, while the women who had come up with the others stvod up in a row near the bride. The minister took outa book, tossed back his curls and CLEARED HIS THROAT; the bride and groom joined hands, and so they were married. Father Heritage had brought a pen and a bottle of ink with him and the certifi- cate was signed at once.

Good bye.” “Mr. Fram- bes, $10 for you,” said Father Heritage. A mo ment afterwards an ominous sound came up from below. Father Heritage, with a startled gloox in his eyes, leaned over the balustrade and saw the bride apparently in the act of freeing herself from the arms of the man who had just been made her husband. “Hello, there!” cried Father Herit- age. What has he been doing to you?“ “A Kissing me, sir,“ she suid. — FARMING IN DAKOTA, A 35,000 Acre Ranch—The Harvest—Stories About Manitoba. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, February 28.—A very large ma- jority of the men composing the upper and lower houses of Congress are lawyers. Next to these per- haps in numbers are manufacturers, and farmers. Of the latter class probabiy no Congress has haa as one of the farmers in the present House. Dele- gate Raymond of Dakota, a very quiet, modest- looking young man of less than 40, is one ot the largest farmers of that large farming section of the Northwest. His home is in Northern Dakota and his farm 35,000 acres. On between 8,000 and 10,000 acres of this he raises wheat, while the re- mainder be reserves for pasturage for his 1,000 or more head of cattle. To hear of his methods of r reminds one of Florence's stories in his new play of Facts,“ and one almost uneon- ciously nums “Over the Garden Wall” when he hears of wheat fieids measured by thousands of acres and yielding hundreas of thousands of Dushels. On the other hand, one is the more ready to believe then when he looks upon Dele- gate Kaymond’s frank countenance and sees the elegant style in which he lives here in Washing- ton. His home is one of the handsomest of the many handsome residences in this city, over- looking Iowa Cirele, and elegantly {urnisbedjand- tasteful in all its surround js „Are there many such farms as yonts in Da- kota?” your correspondent asked ef Mr. Ray- mond, as he sat iu his office on Iowa Circle, talking of his Dakota heme. “Not many,“ he auswered. “Of course there are some much larger: the Dalrymple system of farming, for instance, inciuding 25.000 acres; then there are one or two farms of 8,000 and 10,000 acres, and one near mine of 6,000 acres; but they are not numerous. There are a good many farms of 1,000 and 1,200 acres, but even these are a very small traction of the number of farms in Dakota. The large proportion vf the farmsthere are small, quarter sections and half sections, for instance.“ “How do you conduct operations on such im- mense farms as this of yours? In the same man- ner as On small farms?’ “Well,” he said, “I keep ten or a dozen men at this time of the year on the farm taking cgre of the stock; in the spring, when the seeding time begins, I hire thirty or forty, and put them to work 22 in the wheat. After this is done I discharge most of them until harvest time, ex- cept a few whom 1 employ for ing a little earlier. time comes I employ perhaps seventy-five men. I put self-binding reapers into the field, and all that the men have to do is to gather up the gueaves and set them up into shocks. That used to be boys’ werk afew years ago. The men that we hire for this work are professional harvesters. They begin harvesting in Tennessee and work north as the season advances, and reach us dur- lug the end of the summer, wien our harvesting begins. Alter the harvest ends they plunge into the woods and spend their winter logging. In the spring they send their logs down the river and tramp back to Tennessee and begin their harvest again to the north. Our harvest over, we begin threshing at once, taking the wheat im- mediately from the shock to the steam thresher. We begin with one threshing machine on the farm, set a second at work on tue second day and anotper On the third day, and run along through the season with three machines until we finish our 35,000 acres. The wheat is shipped by rail to Duluth, thence around by lake to Buffalo, where it is ground into flour.” “How far are you from the northern line of Dakota, Mr. Raymond; from Manitoba?” „About 150 miles. We are in the same Red River Valley and have the same sort of country; perhaps a little betterin some respects, but not quite as cold.“ Are these published reports of dissatisfaction among the people of Manitoba true?” “Yes,” he answered; they are largely true and the indications at present lead to the beliet that Manitoba will some day be asking admission into the United States.“ Indications.

Thompson of Brookfield, Mo., in which he makes the startling assertion “that Tilden is the only man the Demo- crats of Brookfield will support for President.“ I don't happen to know Mr. Thompson or his au- thority for making such an assertion, but from the remark one would suppose that he is one of the *‘misfits’’ of the late Gen. Jeff Thompson, who escaped while the lamented “Jeff was hunting for his cattle on the 1,000 hills, and one of the anointeda,presided over by “old 1808.” By the way, can vou tellus where Brookfield is located? It certainiy can’t bein the neighborhood of Mart Hubbell’s goat farm, or Mart would certainly have taken better care of his “lambs.” Now, if Mr. Thompson and his Cracker-Neck friends will only make an effort and visit the convention at Chicago, and if he is lucky enough to escape the *Buncos,” he will come back, as his friends did from Washington, tully convinced that old 1808” and the ghost of Tilden” is a very poor hand to draw to.

REPRESENTATIVE MEN, The failure of the St. Louis delegation to Washington should not be allowed to pass out of notice without impressing on the minds of the people of St. Louis and of Missouri the importance of holding representatives of every kind toa strict responsibility. Mr. PRATHER IS supposed to represent Missouri in the National Committee, but he does not Seem to think that position imposes any re- sponsibility on him. He goes to Washington ona double mission—to represent Missouri at the session of the committee, and. to represent St. Louis in securing the convention. But instead of discharging his representative duty Mr. PRATHER devotes himself to urg- ing his private views and workihg up a Mor- RISON boom. Is that the act of a representa- tive man? Does he represent the people of Missouri in that? The Democrats of Mis- souri are not booming any man, and if Mr. Tux Geneva Award Fund is still on tap, and there isa movement in Congress to mul- tiply the taps. Alabama claims are rather more easily proved up than pension claims, and if the Geneva fund amounted to $100,- 000,000, we presume that “sufferers” enough toabsorb it all ina few months could be found and identified.

Cruel Treatment and Neglect of a Good Woman, The Escapades of a High-Salaried Rail- way Clerk—Spicy Notes—Suit for Separation. ———— By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw York, February %.—Mrs. Marie Glaser has, for the third time, brought a suit for divorce agalust her husband, Ferdinand Glaser, a clerk in the office of the Northern Pacific Railroad at salary of $1,200 a year. 2 1 — 0 ry, 1877, and Mrs, Glaser has — 2 savs, to leave her husband several times owing to his drutal treatment. Each time she returned upon his promise to reform. Recently Glaser was arrested and he failed to ob- tain bail. Yesterday an order was issued for him to show cause why he should not pay his wife ali- mony and counsel fee. This motion will come up on Monday next before Judge Lawrence in Supreme Court Chambers. In the affidavit upon which the order of arrest was granted, Mrs. Glaser tells the story of her married dit. ficulties, .She says she had a sult brought against her husband upon the ground of cruelty, but he begged her to i tinue the proceedings. promising to reform, an she went back to him, but he went out late nights and his conduct was more brutal than be- fore. He struck ber in the face in. February last, and two or three nights later struck her in the eye. He pulled her hairand struck her in the face. At another time he packed his trunk, struck ber in the head with his revolver, threw his shoes at hier and said he intended to leave her and go to Europe so as to be rid of her. In July last she began proceedings for a separation AND HAD HIM ARRESTED, but he pleaded, and again she relented and went to live with him. He signed a paper to the effect that he would never ill treat her again. Mrs. Glaser says she soon found that his conduct was becoming worse, Oue day he struck her in the mouth, Knocking out three teeth. She ascer- tained that he was lavishiug his attentions upon another woman, one Christine Belmont McLean, or Fanny McLean, and he bad been in the hablt of seeing her in a flat on Sixth avenue, She went there one day aud jound ber husband in bed read. ing a novel. He jumped up and said, “This is my room.“ Mrs. Glaser stepped over to the bureau. and, opening one of the draw- ers, pulled out some ladies’ wearing apparel, and holding them up asked if he was in the habit of wearing such gurments. Hethreatened to put her outof the room, but she remained until the woman arrived. When Mrs. Glaser left he fol- lowed her and asked forgiveness, which was gravted. He then gave his wife a number of let- ters written to him by the woman, and three photographs of a handsome woman. He soon afterwards renewed bis assaults upon his wife, using a poker and also displaying a pistol. She was again compelled to jeave him, and for a third time brought legal proceedings against him. Her reason for having her husband arrested, Mrs. G laser said, wus because he had threatened to give up his position and flee from the State, and because she believed he Intended going wilh the woman to Putsburg or Cleveland, She says that ber husband GETS HIS CLOTHES FROM LONDON, that he keeps a horse aud village cart, wears fine jewelry and owns real estate in YonKers and Cleveland. The letters which Glaser gave his wife are signed “Fanny,” aud in them he is addressed as “My darling,” and “My own darling,” “My own,” and other similar endearing erms. ip one of these letters she says: “Could you but know how unhappy 1 have been, you would be with me bow. Come (ame, sweetheart, for ‘your petty’ ioves vou better than anything in the worid, and if she gets a little cranky sometimes, forgive her.” There are several letters begging him to come up and see her, and one written in June last closes with: Who does it love?“ In a letter dated last June she writes: “Your letter was re- ceived to-night at 9:30, and had a knife penetrated my heart it would not bave been a Keener pain than when Ll perused its contents How well 1 love you must kpow. For forty‘eight hours | have watched and waited for your coming, and when I tele- grapued you taday how little did 1 think that the one man I love was to be taken from me without a chanee to say good bye, and only to- night I was thiuking how pleasaut and cheerful my rooms were since 1 have hada firein the grate, and after the receipt of your letter they seem like a duugeon, for without you everything is gone. TRY TO DO RIGHT, and all will end well. Steady, now; make both your wile and yourself as happy as possible. Try to treat her as you would treat your potty. were she in her place. Henceforth we will try to bury the past, but if the time should ever come when you can look into my eyes and say “iny petty, I am free,“ how gladly would I take you to my heart and tell you as I have often done, how deeply, almost madiy, I love you, my own darling boy. But until then ‘tis best we part.” The next day she wrote; It you are lost to me life is not worth the living. How often have 1 said, Darling. I lov you too well.“ We could not do as we once did. I could not share with another woman now. I am al- most crazy. I have not been in bed since night before last.“ Que night in October she wrote him: “Just a line to say good morning to my papa. Ihe bees thinking of you ali the even- ing, and I am so happy to think I still have my darling. Icould not give zou up now—it is too laice—but I willtry to be a good ‘little mam- ma,’ and do what is right, ift you will not leave mo, for you are all I have to love. Good night.
