President of one of the railroads entering this
city, while sitting 10 bis Office, this morning,
was annoyed by the noise made by mother
beating her child 10 the neighborhood, and sent
bis servant to request her to stop the fuss. She
sent back an indeoorous answer and continued
to belabor the child With the springs of an old
skirt. The President went to his window and
called to her to desist, but receiving worse
answer than she had previously sent him, he
seized his umbrella, and rushing out to where
she was threatened to bit her with it if she
struck her child another blow. She needed not
his threats, but instead of carrying out his ex.
pressed determination, he sent for policeman,
who soon procured warrant for her arrest, but
her husband having by that time come home,
and representing to the freud OF the baby tn
the whole cost of the proceedings would fall
upon him, who could not prevent the tantrums
OF his wife, the baby's friend consented to with
