Thomas Mcguire iu The T0i:s of the
Law for Abusing aais Wife

There is nothing more despiGable thsn
the individual who cynelly treats faithful
wife. A tair sample If such wretch
stood up in the police d3ck Friday morning
a1d answered TO the name Of Thomas
Maguife. The Charge against him was
only drunkenness and dlsofderly conduct,
AID Hannah Stein, an elderly lsdy, was
the first witness. She had stopped Of
Napuire5 house, on French street above
Eighth, last night, and found him abusing
his wife. She demonstrated, whersupou
he made two attempts 10 sLrike his wlie,
aud, when Witness iutartered, ha eaugnt
her srni and twisted it. His next exploit
was 10 take the iIghted eoai oil lamp and
smash it Oh thp hlor, e.itilugering con
Migration.
Mrs. Mcguire testified that her husband
treated her shemt fully, and without cause,
and mad, upon several occasions purpuseiy
upset lighted lamp upon her, aud his
cruelty had forced her 10 take refuge with
the ntighbOfs
Several OF the latter testified To the bad
conduet OF Thomas, and declared they
would leave the neisuborhood if it was
not stopped .-.- @.
The Mayof remarked to the prisoner
that this throwing of lamps is q dangerous
business, and it was Is woudsr that the
prisoner was not blfotethe bat Tor murder
Instead If simply diSorderly conduct. A

HIS Honor then imposed the highest
penalty that he could for the oifense

Keep the pvace.
The prisoner commenced to make
speech, saying: Mayor, good deal OF
this is done for effect.'
His Honor replied that what he was
doing was for effect, and ne hoped the
prisoners wife would not take compassion
on him and help to get him out Of

plains Of the Unauthorized Use OF
of E8Is Name. --.-
Edit0r STATE J0yfnal. Please permit
me TO occupy small portion of your space
to express the annoyance l feel at the un-
authorized use Of my name by certain
Republican newspapers in their discussion
OF Senator Bayard's speech at Dover,
Delaware, in October last.
The statement, copied from the Press
in the State Sentinel of to-day, that
shave been outspoken in my wrath. that
Mr.. Bayard should thus equivocate and
deny these utterances," is utterly false.
The intimation containe in all OF them,
of what ! would say under certain circum-
stances, is gratuitou5 sumption on
their part, as have never given any basis
for conjecture upon the subject.
In the position that Senator Bayard
occupies, he needs no defense at my
hands; else l might say that these attacks
upon him are already recoiling upon his
assaiants, and it seems to me they should be
rather concerned about their own defense.
Yours respectfully,
