Geo. Hance said His Homer to the
central figure, in the last case at the
police court this morning, you are
charged with using abusive and threat
eniD9 language towards your wife.
''Yss, SIR" responded George, ''let
the hand play; go on with yoAr trial
I'm ready"
Rebecca Hance, wife OF the prisoner
took the stand, and testified that on
last Saturday morning, he had follow
ed her up stairs, using abusive lan
guags and threatening to beat her.
shortly afterward, while she was sit
ting on the step dressing her child, he
stood over her with cart whip. and
again threatened to "drsss her down"
as he called it, and fearing he would
carry his threats into execution, she
had left the house. Mrs. Hancs then
added that this sort Of behavior was
not unusual with George, but that for
years be had conducted himself at in
tervals in such manner that h-r life
was mademiserable and unhappy in the
last degree. She had had him arrested
once before for threatening to kill her.
Mrs. II. attributed his actions To insane
jealousy.
Elizabeth Billingsby, who resided
next door 10 the Hances, testified that
the accused WAS In every respect an
unmitigated nuisance. At almost any
hour Of the day or night, when he was
at home, the voice Of George could be
heard filling the air with obscenity aud
blasphemy. His wife had been fire.

RFandywlne Library Association.
While lettering in the neighborhood
Of the old Academy, last evening wait
ing for the lighting calculators of the
9th ward to obtain the sum total Of
American franchises, the REPUBLICAN
reporter was kindly invited to step up
stairs and take seat. In response to
the invitation we assembled the stairs
and were ushered into the room of the
Brandywine Library Association. This
Institution composed of young men
residing IN Brandywine village, was
organized October II, 1878, the object
being to provide reading room where
the young men of that section might
spend their evenings together, in read
ing, debating, etc. An examination of
the literature on the tables of the club
evening spoke we'll for the tastes Of
those making the selections. The
young men thus far has had to depend
entirely on their own resources, and
though they have succeeded in accom-
plishing great deal, there is yet great
room for improvement IN their room,
in the way of making it comfortable and
attractive. The object of these young
men is good one and the citizens of
that section cannot do better than en-
courage them in their effort. Contri-
buttons of reading matter, Of all kinds.
would be in order, and a mating of
some kind to cover the floor would also
be in place.

DeSDicable Busin ess.

Soon after the terrible accident on the
Philadelphia & Atlantic Railroad, it is
learned that some ghouls robbed the
bodies of tho men Who were killed. A
brother of Conductor Worthipgton,
made complaint that dark square
cameo ring had been stolen from his
brothers finger. Also, that instead Of
$43 being found in his pocketbook
there were only $13 left, showing that
$50 dollars had been taken. 1t was
learned that while the conductor was
held between the bumpers of the car,
and was hardly dead, scamp was oh.
served to colue up and pull the ring off
the dying mans finger. When the 10
dy was laid on til" ground afterward,
it was despoiled. The Coroner received
only $l3 instead Of $43. When all of
the bodies reached Camden and passed
into tho care of the Coroner the pockets
of all the dead men were turned inside
out and not a thing remained In them.

Orleans depot announcing that the ''amncsticd"
would not arrive until halfpast four o'clock on
Wednesday morning. The majority of those
who had gone to meet the exies were incredu-
lous, however, and, thinking that the authori-
ties made this announcement in the wish
to avoid anything like demonstration oc-
curing, remained all night, sleeping in the
station courtyard, in the open air. Shortly after
four o'clock-thereiore little ahead OF time
the train arrived. There was n rush of expccta-
ton up to the doors of the depot; deep
silence, broken only by the sobbing OF
women. Alighting from the train the
amnestied men were called by arrondisse
ments and then permitted to mix with the
crowd who received them with frantic cries of
''Vivc Ia Republiquew They looked in general
very pale and carewOrn. Their reception by
the members of their families was very affect
ing. The majority of the people in the crowd,
who came more perhaps from curiosity, looked
on ut the touching SCENES in silence, but were
deeply moved. A curious feature observed was
that many of the men brought with them pet
animals, such as dogs and eats, the companions
of their. painful exile. Accompanied by
relatives aud friends and followed by the
quiet, sympathic crowd, the amnestied
communists left the station, when they
were taken by their sympathizers to the
cafes of the neighborhood, where they were
generously trcated-nay, literally gorged.

crowd were eager to have them share their
homes and board. The copdnct and bearing
of the pardoned men were excellent; there were
no revengeful expressions heard and all along
the route taken there was the same prudent re-
serve as had marked their bearingi ever since
they landed on Monday ut Port Vendres.
