A Drunkard's Recklessness and Nearly
Fatal Accident.

Mrs. Riley, an Irish lady has been
keeping a railroad boarding house near
Waverly, and her husband has been
working at a saw mill about seven miles
above Frankfort, for the purpose Of re-
moving their household goods to Wav-
erly. They remained over Saturday
night at OCallaghan's, on east Main
street. and from what we can learn, Riley
was drunk and abusive to his wife, be-
cause she would not give him money to
get more liquor. He managed to force
enough money out of her. however, to
keep drunk it appears, for Sunday
when they started for their old home he
was still in that condition

ing her usual duties she suddenly disap-
peared, leaving the saloon open. Her
absence was soon noticed and search

some distance away A light being pro
cured and lowered into the cistern, the
body Of the suicide was distinctly seen.

A POLICEMAN ASSAULTED AND
HORRIBLY BEATEN.
Officer John Holland Again the Victim.

Last night, about half past l2 o'clock,
as Officers John Holland and Kingler
were patrolling their beat in the Buck
town" district they encountered, near
the corner Of Sixth and Culyert streets,
three noisy men who came down the
hill, proceeding eastward. They expos.
tulated with the drunken rowdies, and
ordered them to be quiet, but as the fel-
lows became more boisterous, and pro
posed TO fight, the officers determined on
an arrest. Holland seized one man and
started with him up the hill towards
broadway for the station house King
Ter had considerable scufflng with his
prisoner, and fell behind. The third
party ran away. Holland was about half
a square ahead Of Kingler. He was
walking along with his prisoner, holding
him by the arm, and carried his mace, a
heavy weapon. under, his arm on the op-
pOsite side. The fellow who had escaped,
followed up. and sneaking behind Hol-
land, snatched the mace from under the
officers arm and dealt him a heavy blow
on the head which knocked him down
Then the two rufiians. with the club and
bowlders, pounded the PROSTATE officer
over the head
People were attracted to the place and
their cries brought up Klingler, who let
his prisoner go. After beating Holland.

Holland was picked up, and found
bleeding and badly hurt Doctor Dun
lap was at once summoned The officer
was found to have a long. CHASTITY cut in
the back part of his head, another on
his forehead, all the teeth in the right
side of his mouth were knocked out, and
his left jawbo was splintered IN two
places.
Holland was carried to his home on
the corner Of Broadway and Harrison
street. He is terribly beaten, and his in
juries, the surgeon thought, may prove
total. At any rate, if life is spared. he
will be laid up for a long time.
Last fall he was set upon in a similar
manner and brutally beaten, though by
no means so badly hurt as he was last
night. Then he was endeavoring to dis
perse a mob engaged in stoning a Wal
nut Hills street car. At that time his
life was despaired OF, but his remarkably
strong physical constitution brought him
through, and he was able to resume duty
in few weeks.
The roughs met last night were not
recognized by the officers, but from the
direction in which they were going it is
supposed they belong to the Eighth
street or Sixth street hill gang. No ar
rest had as yet been made at an early
hour this morning.-lCincin Com

Between Z and 8 o'clock Sunday even

near Dublin, this county, in which a man
named Peter Connolly was shot by a
man named John G. Shank. The par
ticulars Of the case, as near as can be as
certained, are as follows:
Shank and Connolly were employed on
section thirteen of the Columbus and To
ledo Railroad, the former in the capaci-
ty Of blacksmith, and the latter as team
ster. They got some whisky at Dublin,
which was drank by party of men at
one Of the boarding houses during the
afternoon of Sunday. About the time
above stated the principals in the affair
and some others started along down the
road toward another boarding house,
Shank and Connolly being ahead. When
first observed they were quarreling

Shank is reported to have extended his
hand to Connolly and desired to make
the matter up and be friends again. To
this Connolly is said to have replied: "I'll
never shake hands with a man who has
drawn a revolver on me"
Shank says that he was drunk and
does not know what was said or done
and the witnesses not having seen the
| first part of the difficulty, do not know
of course, whether a revolver had been
| drawn or not
After Connolly had made the reply
above stated, Shank went over to the
other side OF the road and told Connolly
to keep the side he was on, and if h'
