A FRAIL WEE AND AN USFAITHFUL HUSBAND.
Yesterday afternoon, officer J. F. Parker arrested
a soldier named W. C. Jacob Swartz, in a house
IN the upper portion Of the Third Ward, on the
charge of assault and battery with intent to kill
teamster named Christian Weaver. I he parties,
including a woman who had been living with
Weaver, were all taken before Justice Clayton,
where 10 was with great difficulty that Swartz
could be restrained from attacking weaver, who
he said had ruined his peace. They all soon
became greatly excited, jawing at each other at
savage rate, and the Justice finding that neither
Of them could talk English nuently, sent of for
an Interpreter.
In the examination ID appeared that both parties
had formerly lived in one house, In Lyeoming
county, Pa SwartZ with a wife and three chill
dren, and Weaver having a wife and five chill
dTen. Some time since SwartZ enlisted in the
army and has been stationed at Winchester, and
Weaver left his family soon after, coming to this
city where he obtained employment as teamster.
Weaver thinking II most comfortable TO go to
housekeeping, rented a house in the Northern
Liberties and sent for Mrs. Swartz as house.
keeper. Mrs. Swartz bundled up herself and
children, and without delay joined Weaver, with
whom she has been living for some weeks az his
wife. Mrs. Weaver hearing Of the faitnIessness
Of her husband, wrote at once to Swartz at Win
chester, informing him Of the facts as far as she
knew them.
SWdrlZ ptOCuIcu 1uIlOu20, ana Yesterday
morning arrived In the city In search Of his uanf
wife and ''the destroyer Of his peace.n After
spending some time in the search, be came across
bis little boy in the Northern Liberties and was
Informed where bis wife and Weaver lived He
at once entered the house designated, and found
the wife and the teemster both present, when he
seized large carving knife and made at the
latter, but did not succeed in reaching him, not
however, owing to any disinclination on his
$50 part. The knife was by some means
wrested from him, and he then went in with his

In charge.
Weaver promised in the office to never live
with the woman again, and offered to make an
affidavit to that effect, and SwariZ, on the other
hand, wanted to swear II he ever caught Weaver
at the house he would kill him. The woman
seemed very 10th to 60 back with her husband.
She refused to give any but her maiden name, in
the oface, seeming disposed to take the name Of
Weaver, but being almost afraid that II would
lead TO trouble with SwartL
The justice gave The parties some good advice
and dismissed them. Weaver Immediately made
bee line for his teams, getting out Of the of1ce
and out CT sight before the others were on the
street; and after Swar;z and his wife had talked
matters over they quietly proceeded homewards
