The Fate of a Man Who Gave His
 Wife a Sunday Beating.
 ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 17.-John Coleman, an habitual drunkard, after having been out all night went to his home, No. ,249 Ofalon street, this morning and began to bea6 his wife. He hammered the poor woman un- mercifully until the blood poured from wounds in her head and saturated her gar ments. She ran into the street and met two Iaboring men, Larry Cunningham and Pat rick Flood, to whom she appealed for pro lection. She wanted to return home and get her shawl so she could go to the city dis pensary to have Ter wounds dressed and asked the men to go with her and prevent her husband from beating her again. They consented and as they n,eared the house they met Coleman Cunningham told him he ought to be as, named of himself for beating his wife and tha t he must not do it again. Coleman re- semi ed what he termed an interference in his domestic affairs and fight ensued. Gun ninpham, who is muscular man, struck Coleman several times and felled him to the oround. He raised himself upon his elbow, but instantly sank back dead. Cunningham, Flood and Mrs. Coleman were arrested but the latter was released. A post-mortom ex- animation showed that death was caused by a rupture of the blood vessels of the brain.

 over the 136 captured men of the Peacock.
 He found the guard asleep and ran upstairs and informed the men of it. About ten of the prisoners had succeeded in taking of their irons, preparatory to capturing the vessel The men were once more placed Tn irons. Arriving in New York, Burekes was
 one of those invited to the great dinner III honor of the victory. In 1869 when eighty one years of age, he went to California where two of his sons reside, to take, as he ex- pressed it, a Hook at the country"

A VALUABLE WORK.
Annual Meeting of the Hebrew Be-
 neVOlent Society.


 nevOIent Society.
 The annual meeting of the Hebrew Benev- olent society was held yesterday. The pres ident, M. Sonnenberg, delivered an address in which he showed the amount of good complished during the past year. The past winter had been an exceptionally hard one and many deserving people had been assist ed. MT. Sonnenberg endeavored to obtain work for a number of men at the Associated Board of Charities, but failed, as that organ ization did not receive sufficient orders for work to warrant hiring any extra help. In the opinion of the speaker there should be a system devised and projected by the town whereby worthy persons could obtain work. In closing his address he referred to the past seven years, during which he had been the president and director of the society, and stated that under no consideration could he continue as an officer. After the address the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: M. Heller, president; B. Ro- gowski, vice president; L. H. Freedman, treasurer. The trustees are: M. Sonnenberg, s. Calm, D. Crotten.

 DIsFIGURING HER RIVAL. Am Injured Wife Takes Summary
 Vengeance on the Source of Her
 Woes.
 BALTIMORE. May 17.-Mrs. John M Bruce has for some time had knowledge of her hus- bands attachment for Mrs Mamie Niger, a prepogsessing widow, and that knowledge led to separation; but few days ago the couple were reconciled on promise of reform on the part of the husband. Mrs. Niger was not willing to lose her lover so easily, and yesterday afternoon succeeded in persuading him to visit her at her home on North Front street. Mrs. Bruce followed her faithless husband and surprised him in the company of the fascinating widow. Suspecting that her husband had gone back on his promise, 1 she provided herself with cup of vitriol l which, on finding her suspicious correct, she | emptied on the head of her rival. Mrs. Mi ger was horribly burned on her face, breast | and arms, and will probably lose her eye 1 sight. Bruce, who was by her side, was also burned about the face badly, but not serious | ly. On finding that She had burned hel | husband Mrs. Bruce at once became repent ant and went out for soothing materials which she used on his burns. This repent ance was, however. without avail, as Mrs Niger got out warrant for her arrest, ano Mrs. Bruce was locked up for future hear | ing.
