Robcr, CONWAY and his wife Mary, tcoloredJ
on the charge OF having, on the previous night,
committed an assault and battery on Rebeces
They had q hearing before Justice Harper,
when It appeared from the evidence produced
that all Of the parties lived In house In
teenth street and l. street and Massachusetts
avenue, and that on Saturday night family
quarrel took place among them when, Conway
Mcclure. striking her on the head. A num-
Der of witnesses were heard, from whose EVIL.
dence 1t appeared that Conway and his wife
both took part In beating Mrs. Mcclure.
Or. 7. y. Smith testified that he had exam.
inod tho injured woman about 10 O'Clock yes-
terday and found her In very critical condi-
medical treatment that she could possibly re.
cover. lie said that her head and mouth was
badly bruised and that she was very lame in
the LEFT side, apparently received from blows
The prisoners were locked up In the station,
and " III be sent to jail this morning to await
a fur,her hearing on Tuesday next, at p. m.

cross In the direction OF the Virginia shore.
Ga reaching the north draw he was warned
against crossing by way of the track by the
keeper OF the draw, who told him that II was
strictly forbidden, and that the orders were
for all foot passengers to cross the public
bridge. The young man answered by say ing
"lknow my own business best" and passed on
as far AS the south draw, where he descended
several OF the steps leading TO the river be-
meath, when he threw up his hands and made
4 leap Into the Potomac, disappearing in an
instant. Mr.. Charles W. Sclby, keeper OF this
draw, being on the opposite side OF It, saw the
mysterious stranger make the leap, but owing
to the draw being open at the time was unable
to get near him to prevent the rash act. The
young man was dressed in = dark coat and
vest, snufi-colored pants, black hat, and woro
dark moustache. During Saturday and yes
terdsy quite = number OF men were busily en-
gagged In dragging for the body, all of which
was Of no avail, as they had not succeeded In
catching II at o p. mt and, strange to say, 10
one secms to know who he was or from whence
he came.
