PROBABLE MURDER.-This morning. about three
O'Clock, Jacob Weaver, a German, residing with
his wife and children in the second story of
house in Pennsylvania avenue, near Coates street,
was arrested upon the charge of wife beating.
The attention of Officers Spear and 0svandell
we're attracted by the cry of murder issuing from
the house, and upon rushing into the place
most horrid spectacle met their eyes. Lying on
the floor was Mrs. Weaver, with her brutal hus-
band standing over her with a short club. Her
head was cut and lacerated in the most shocking
manner Two large pools of blood were on the
floor and blood was scattered upon the wall The
club with which the beating had been done was
covered with hair and blood. The inhuman hus-
band IVES taken to the Station House, where
Lieutenant Loveaire was notified of the occur
renee. This officer, with his sergeants, hastened
to the residence of Weaver. Here his wife was
found to be in a most critical condition, having
been but recently confined. The child two
weeks DID, was lying in the bed, and nestled
close about it were three other children of
Meavers. The little ones were screaming and
greatly terrified at what had taken place. DR..
Stuart was at once summoned. 1t was the inten.
tion of to send the unfortunate woman to the
Hospital, but her condition was such that the
Doctor prohibited her removal. nurse was
accordingly procured by Lieutenant Loveaire,
and everything done to relieve the suiferings of
the poor woman. 1t Is feared that her injuries
will prove fatal She states that her husband
was drunk at the time, and has been in the habit
of maltreating her. She was IN bed when he at
tackled her. He dragged her out on the floor,
and then beat her with his fist and the club.
The three Oldest children were sent TO the North
eTn Home. The infant was very kindly taken in
charge by a nelghbor. Weaver had a hearing
