A BRUTE.
East Wheeling Excited by Oas-
tard.

Yesterday evening the train in on the
Hempiield brought a report that a large
crowd had assembled in East Wheeling
about a spot where a man was trying TO
kill a baby. \ REGISTER commissioner
was at once dispatched to the locality.
1t was a matter of no small difficulty to
find the spot and for some time the re-
porter wandered hopelessly about in
these classic regions on what appeared
to be a veritable wild goose chase.
Finally in That beautiful boulevard,
which is named Alley ii, and distln-
guished in Last Wheeling by a title lar
more expressive than elegant. and en-
tircly unmentionable to ears polite, he
struck a lead. The locality is one OF
the worst looking in the city, and is Tor
Iorn and desolate to the last degree.
Where the alley enters Woods street on
the east side a group OF women had col
lected, and were discussing the
very occurrence OF which the
reporter was in search. Immediately
upon his appearance, however, the con-
yersation ceased. He questioned them,
but all he could gather was that some
thing had occurred, or it was said some
thing had occurred and even this was
said in that heSitating way peculiar to
women. At length, however, it was
learned that a man named Bray--Tom
Bray-who lives in the alley, had been
~nisbehaving fr~ightiully. Stories were
in circulation that he had beat his wife
and kicked his baby, and all the
while under the influence OF
bad whiskey. The assembled females
would give no definite information, but
looked ut each other in q knowing way.
Finally, however, the reporter found
a c%oi0red woman, who lives in the same
building, who had seen the entire affair,
and she told in her own peculiar and
graphic stN lie. 1t seems that Bray is a
good ~for.naught, and does nothing but
fill up with bad whisky. His wife does
washing and various odd Jobs for the
support Of the family and her hus-
band. But when she gets money
he beats her and takes what he
can TO purchase benz'ne. lie
occasionally and in a playful way kicks
her down stairs and compels her to seek
refuge and sleep al a neighbors. Last
night he came home drunk and assault
ed his wife while she was carrying an
infant child in her arms. He kicked her

Yesterday the other bullet that Mrs.
InIie Shubert fired into her breast on
"Wednesday night, when trying TO Kill
herself. was removed by her physician.

one who has aught to say against her.
The physician says that, with perfect
quiet snd good nursing, the siri VIII be
an right in a short time.
