Wants to Keen His Child.

After the hearings this morning a
colored man stated to the Mayor that
he was the husband of Rachael Saun-
ders, who had been convicted of assault
and battery on Annie Morrison. He
said that she was very intemperate
woman, and it was impossible to live
with her that they had child about
four years Of age, of which he wished
to retain the custody. The Mayor re-
ferred him to Austin Harrington, ESP,
who was present, and he instructed him
to procure a good place for the child
while the woman is in Jail, and let him
know if she should interfere with it
after her release. Mr.. Harrington ex-
pressed the opinion that the man was
the proper custodian of the li.rle one,

sharp Thu nder Gust.

This morning opened warm, cloudy,
and somewhat sultry. About SO clock
the clouds became black, and darkness
took the place of daylight. 1t be-
came necessary to light the gas in
quite large number OF stores and
business offices.
Suddenly there was a bright flash
through the darkness, speedily followed
by crashing burst of thunder that
startled everybody. Those who had
telephones hurried to stop off the cur
rent, but not before IA number heard OF
had been set ringing by the electric
fluid. Another flash and crash of thun-
der followed close to the first, and quite
heavy shower Of rain fell
Soon reports began to fly around OF
damage done by lightning. The first
report was that lady boarding al the
City Hotel was killed, and a reporter
started out armed with pencil and pa
per to write up the distressing calamity.
On the way, he was told also that man
at a telephone in the office Of the Har.
Ian & Hollingsworth Company had
been instantly killed. Here thought
the reporter was an abundance of news
for one day.
Entering the city hotel, and in SOL
emn manner inquiring If IA lady had been
killed in that establishment this morn
| ing he was told by the bar keeper that
that was news indeed. The cook was
little frightened and exclaimed, ION

street car came to his knees. This was
! III Al, "a, Ia I,t at fuir
The reporter then went on to the IL.
& H. works, hoping that the report in
| regard to the man at that place being
killed would also prove untrue. The
wishes Of the reporter were gratitied.
The clerks smiled as they heard of
the news that was flying around outside
and informed MS nobody was hurt about
that establishment, nor wanted to be
hurt
1t seems, however, that man work
ing at White & Rice's carriage factory,
over Market street bridge, was the
greatest sufferer. He was going out in
the yard with box Of tools when the
flash of lightning came and he fell to
the ground.
Some workmen took him aside while
a man ran and summoned DR.. Morris
son, but before the doctor could start,
word came that the man was "all
right" and he needn't come.
There may have been some more Sc
rious casualties around the city, but If
there have been they have not come to
the ears of the reporter. Several tele-
phone wires were Embossed by the storm
and telephone communication was
completely suspended for an hour or
more.
This was the first thunder gust of the
season, and was considereda sharp one.

The Phoenix Park Trial,

DUBLIN, April 1.-THE trial of Joe

began this morning in the Green street
Court ihouse, and the work of calling
the jury was forthwith begun. Not
withstandlng the fact that it was known
that all absentees would be summary

panel failed to appear and respond to

The case for the Crown was opened
by Mr.. Porter. He pointed out to the

upon to perform vas one of the most
serious that could fall on citizens. He
exl led them to dismiss from their
minds altogether anything they had
read OF heard of in connection with the
case and to be guided by the evidence

Mary Qmgley and Ella Givens, the
two girls charged with the larceny of
meat and other articles from store at
Thirteenth and Walnut streets, had a
hearing before the Mayor this morning.
A young girl that attends the store testi-
fed that they came in and inquired for
canned peaches, and after they had
gone out the meat was missed. They
were followed, and the meat found in
their possession. The Mayor held them
in 500 bail eacn for court. The girls
are well known at police station, and it
is said that this is not the first time
articles have been missed after they
have visited stores The Mayor and
Mr.. Harrington are both in favor of
sending them to the Philadelphia House
of Refuge, and it is probable an effort
will be made to that effect.

DOMESTIC INFELICITY
A smyrna Woman Leaves He
Husband, but Concludes TO Re,

turn.
For the past nine years Dash Shields
farm laborer, and his wife have lived
in the vicinity of Smyrna. They have
three children, the youngest little
girl about 3 years of age but for some
cause, their married life has not been
as happy as could have been desired
They have frequently quarreled, and
last Sunday some hot words passed be-.
tween them, during which the Wifi
vowed she would take her youngest
child and leave him.
The husband did not offer any ohiec-
ton, and on Monday morning the
woman with her child and few neces.
sary articles in a chip basket took the
boat and started for Philadelphia
where she arrived late in the afternoon,
The onl y acquaintance she had in that
city were an aged couple, whom she
had not heard from for five years, and
brother of her husband. She, however
did not know where he lived but thought
she would not have any difficulty in
finding him, and on Tuesday morning
after remaining on the boat all night,
one street and down another, josted
and stared at by the crowd, until she
became heart sick.
Among the thousands she met, there
was not familiar face, and she real.
lied that she was "alOne in crowd"
The little one cried with hunger, and
she spent part of her scanty store in
purchasing something for it to eat.
Late in the afternoon of that day, foot
sore and tired, she commenced to re.
pent the rash step she had taken, and
made her way to the Broad Street sta.
ton and started toward home. Not
knowing much about travelling, she
only purchased a ticket for Chester, at
which place she left the train.
Her appearance attracted attention,
and some kind persons in that city took
her in charge until yesterday, when
she was sent here. When she
arrived her money was totally ex-
haustcd, and upon her case being made
known to an officer he took her and the
child to the hall, where she was prop.
erly cared for.
Mr.. Harrington was notified, and af.
ter an interview with her this morning
he made arrangements to have her ia.
ken to Smyrna this afternoon, and no
doubt tonight she will be back in her
own house. She is nice looking wo.
man, about thirty years of age, and this
morning she told reporter that this
was a lesson she would never forget
She says she sees now that she was to
blame as well as her husband, and she
intended in the future to try and live
different.
The woman and her child were in an
upper room at the hall, and the little
one, worn out with its long journey. was
asleep on bed made on some chairs.

An Aroused Tiger.

In Philadelphia last night o tall
"dude," with canary .colored side
whiskers and dollar-a-yard silk smile,
amused himself and a crowd In the
menagerie of j. b. Doris Inter-Ocean
Show last night by teasing the Bengal
tiger with cane. The royal beast sub
mitted to the indignations for some
time and playfnlly patted the stick of
his tormentOr.
Failing to arouse the beast with gem
tie pokes the "dude, in the absence of
the keeper. switched the animal across
the nose. That was too much, and,
with roar that startled the immense
crowd in the menagerie tent, the huge
beast threw himself against the bars OF
the cage. Failing to break them the
animal roared so wit h rage and bounded
about the den so viciOusly that the
crowd became panc-stricken and fled
to the exits.
The tiger finally raised himself on his
hind feet and grabbing the top of the
sheet iron which lined his cage stripped
yard of it Oft at the first attempt. by
this time half dozen keepers surroun-
ded the cage and as many more employ
ees Of the management endeavored 10
prevent the crowd from deserving the
place.
The enraged tiger, in spite of the
humping he was getting from the iron
rods of the keepers, continued ripping
the cage up and was making such head
way that he was in fair way of escap-
ing when Nat Davis, who has charge Of
the animal department arrived. Mr.
Davis caught up a bar ofiron, and open
ing the door entered the den. The tiger
turned on him and was met by stun
ming blow on the head.
The brute hesitated and the man took
advantage Of the stop to administer half
a dozen whacks Oh his skull, This sub
dued the tiger and he Was at once trans
terred to new cage, which, by the way,
he began tearing up before the night
was over.
