New YORK, Oct. 29.-Frank Finnegan,
young man, is prisoner at police
headquarters and Inspector Byrnss is
helping his two sisters, respectable young
women, in trying to devise charge
may be put out of the way for
every day that the law will allow.
Finnegan is a thoroughly bad young man;
in fact he said to the police tina. it was
his only ambition to deserve that name
and that he would as leave kill his sis
ters to earn it as any body
else. Finnesan, two years and a
half ago, at walking match
at No. 80 Bowery. stabbed an
inoffensive spectator. He was arrested,
but, through the pleadings OF his sisters,
who keep a millinery store at No. 704
Broadway, sentence in that instance was
suspended. When, however, soon after
he was arrested on suspicion of com
hitting a burglary, he was
sent to the Elmira reforma.ory
for year on the stabbing charge. After
his retur he served a term of year in
Sing Sing for highway robbery. Finne-
ssn three weeks ago returned from
Sing Sing. The next day he
marched into his sisters store and,
with loaded revolver in his hand,
demanded $25 or their lives. The Gus
toners in the store vacated and the sis
ters were frightened out of their wits
but, not having the $25 at hand,
succeeded in persuading him to
return yesterday. The following morn
ing he crowded into the room they
occupied together and, brandi-hing his
pistol, swore he woud kill them unless
he got the money. He took their watches
ana jswelry. The sisters ran out scream
ing with terror, ''and," says inspector
Byrnes. "they never stopped
running till they reached head
quarters" They told the in
spector, who had them escorted to their
homes and put detectives on the track OF
their ruffiauly brother. Last Saturday
he was arrested. 1t is intended to press
the charge OF highway robbery and at
tempted felonious assault against him,
his sisters being anxious that he shall be
made harmless for as long as possible.

The Explosions Explained.

As7otIaIeh I'FesF T'IsINTfh Ny @poclsi Wit
New York, Oct 31.-0'Donoysn Rosa
stated that the explosions which occurred
yesterday in the underground railway in
London were the work of the Fenian
Brotherhood, of whose movements he ia
appraised. The work was done bv
a band of Fenians in London who
ware in constant communication
with their comrades in New York. The
Woolwich explosion was only another
sample of what is being done. London
would be in ashes, he said, before long,
unless England gave up Ireland. New
developments might be expected at any
moment, for it was now the purpose Of
the brotherhood to push the work rapidly
forward, aud reduce England to submis
sion.

here in 1865. At that time she was
loaded with q cargo OF b:oomstieks and
was successfully gotten off, bnt this time,
owing to the nature OF the cargo, the
probabilities are that she has found her
grave.
The Delaware pilots are greatly re-
joiced over the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court in the Virden suit, and
amused at the fact that the Philadelphia
papers did not publish the decision in
their columns, and thereby acknowledge
the triumph of Delaware.

A FIENDISH HUSBAND.


Sad Recital of the Grievances of an
Abused Wife and Daughter.
Thomas j. Webb, stove dealer Oh
Maryland avenue, was arraigned before
Judge Cummins yesterday on com
plant OF Alkaline Webb, his wife, who
accused him of assault and battery. The
prosecuting witness stated that her hus-
band Tuesday morning struck her
several terrible blows on the head be-
cause she took some money which had
fallen from his pocket and expended 1T
for something to eat.
Seven months ago Webb was run over
on the railroad and had an arm amputated.
Since then he has been intoxicated almost
constantly. He has failed to provide for
the wants OF his family, and his wife mas
been compelled to take in washing to
to earn livelihood for herself
and children. Late at night he would
come home from a debauoh and, seizinR
| a lighted lamp, would threaten to throw
il at his wife in bed. Sometimes he
would drag her from her couch and
frequently he would threaten to make
"rhomas job" of her (cut her throat. }
| Because one OF his daughters failed to but'
ton his shoes Tuesday morning he
struck his head against the wall and get
upon his knees and prayed that all
manner of curses might fall upon his
| family.
Webb requested that his 11year old
| daughter be summoned as witness. His
wife objected, but he persisted and the
little girl, who was attending school, had
to be- sent for. When she reached the
| court room she burst into tears and amid
her sobs told OF her father's ill treatment
of his wife and herself.
| Both mother and daughter testified
that the defendant rs XIII d when sober
but a raving maniac almost when iutoxi
Gated.
In defense of his misconduct Webb
stated that drink had caused 1t ant
promised to swear that he never again
will get intoxicated If he is not parted
from his family. Judge Cummips in
formed him that II he ever was brought
before him again for like otfense hi
would give him term OF imprisonment
as he had promised to reform he would
now only require him to pay fine of s2
and costs.
Defendants daughter wept so piteousll
that she had to BIZ removed from tn
court room before sentence was passed.
