Ono who Fights His ~, Wife and Won't Swear
Albert Barnes, better known as ''Cully," {"
is a resident of the Seventh ward, and this
week is i member of the grand jury,
"Cully" had considerable liquor in him
during part Of last week, and it got him
into trouble. On Saturday morning after
having been out all night he went home
and demanded money Of his wife, who had
saved up a small sum. She refused to give
it to him and he chased her out of bed, tore
her clothing and in other ways abused her.
"Cully" remained around the house and
finally succeeded in getting IS with
which he started off. His wife
went to Alderman A. F. Donnelly's
office and made complaint against him
charging him with assault and battery and
drunken and disorderly conduct. Saturday
night was set as the time for the hearing,
and "Cully" after being arrested gave
bail to that time. The facts as above
stated were developed and it was further
shown that Mrs. Barnes has been abused
upon former occasions by her husband.
Week before last she had saved SIT with
which she intended to buy him a suit Of
clothes to attend court this week. He, in
some way, got the money from
her and spent it all for rum,
leaving his wife at home with
her child, both suffering for want Of the
necessaries of life. At the hearing ''Cully''
was very sorry for what he had done
and made all sorts of promises. He said
that he wanted to serve on the jury and
he told the alderman that he would pay
the costs, swear off drinking and support
his wife if she would agree to arrange the
suits. The alderman at first thought OF
sending him to Jail for 20 days, but the
wife did finally agree to settle the cases.
After they were arranged Barnes said he
would never swear off. Mrs. Barnes told
him then that he should never como near
her as she would support herself. He
seemed pleased at this and left the Office in |
. good humor. This morning he Fat on |
the grand jury big as life, and the tax
payers may expect through investigation |
Of everything by grand jury Of which |

JUDGE LIVINGSTON told the grand

JUDaE LIVINGSTON told the grand
Jury this morning what to do in the
cases of multiplied indictments so as to
prevent rapacious officials from getting
more fees than they are entitled to. We
are glad to see the court awaking to an
abuse to which the INTELLIaENCER has
so long called its attention in vain. If
Judge Livingston had during the admin
istration of District Attorneys johnson
and Eshleman spoken as plainly as he
did this morning the abuses in their
Office might have been corrected earlier.
It is never too late to do good, however
not even in the last year of the first

Mr.. c. R. WooD1N, of Berwick, Lu-
zerne county, has instituted novel
mode of temperance reform. lie has
made arrangements with the keepers of
saloons and hotels there by which, for a
pecuniary compensation paid by him, they
agree to abstain from the sale of intoxi-
cants. When Horace Greeley proposed
to settle the slavery question by ransom
ing those held in bondage, the government
to pay some billions for their freedom,
he was the best abused and most ridi-
culed man in the country. Then came
the war and its moro billions of expense,
not to speak of the precious lives lost
and evils engendered. Before the Ber-
wick experiment at temperance reform
be laughed at, let it be given fair trial
and the cost counted.

half feet, and it is falling so slowly
that it is scarcely below nine feet. Lum-
bermen estimate that there are now two
hundred millions of feet of logs in the
boom, and that there is every prospect of
fifty millions more being received on this
stage of water, which will give sufficient
stock to keep all the mills running to
their utmost capacity until next Septem-
ber. The Lock Haven boom is packed
solid with about forty millions and cannot
hold another log. The stock to come to
Williansport will reach fully three hun
dred millions, and as nearly all the great
drives will get out of the small streams
into the river ON this flood there is but
little doubt that there will be another rise
some time during the summer that will
bring the last log to the boom.
