BALTIMORE, Md, June 16.-Henry A.
Myers, young man of highly respectable
parentage, was convicted yesterday in the
criminal court of brutally beating his wife a
week ago, and Judge Stewart sentenced
him to Jail for one year and to receive
twenty lashes, the judge remarking at the
time that the lashes should be well laid on.
The assault upon the young wife while she
was in delicate condition was of the most
brutal nature. She appeared in the court
to-day with both eyes blackened and bruises
all over her face. Her appearance was pit
iful. She was reluctant to prosecute her
husband, and the evidence had to be got
from her piece-meal Myers was cool and
defiant. He thought his social standing
would save him from. any other punishment
than fine. When he heard the sentence
of a year in jail, the prisoner weakened,
but when he heard of the lashes he ap-
peared to realize his condition and broke
down. Myers is the first white person to
whom the present law has ever applied. In
January, 1883, Charles Foote (colored),
was given seven lashes for wife beating.
He has so far been the only person pun
ished with the lash. The punishment is to
be inflicted at the jail. Sheriff Airey pro-
vided himself with two rawhides for the
work, but motion for a new trial will
cause delay. The sheriff says he will
obey the order Of the court and do the
work thoroughly.

Terrors of the Storm.

MASON CITY, Ia, June 16.-The house
and barn of Matthew Reddy, several miles
from here, were carried away in the storm
Sunday night, and the family had fearful
experience. There are hardly boards enough
left about the homestead to build a fire. Not
a bit of furniture nor stitch of clothing
can be found. The wreck is complete. MI.
Reddy's brother was hurled into field.
When the house went to pieces
MI. Reddy was left in sitting posture
on the ground. On looking around he
saw by flash of lightning that his
brother was stretched dead some
yards away. He picked him up and
carried him into an underground milk house.
He then commenced search for his wife and
found her in her night clothes some ten rods
from the house in cornfeld. She was
also carried to the milk house. He next
looked for his fve-year-old boy, searching
by the light of the electric flashes, and
at last discovered him thirty rods from
where the house had stood, The boy was
almost driven into the mud. When all
were gathered into the milk house their in
juries were discovered to be severe, and the
mother and child will hardly live. The
brother had both ears split, his head gashed
and his shoulder cut and bruised. The wife
had three gashes Oh her forehead, one on
her nose, big cut in the back, bruises on
her legs, and is injured internally. All
were beaten black and blue by the hail.

Loves the Convent.

Washington Special to Boston Record.
A good deal of talk is made in social cir
cles by the persistent determination. Of one
of Washington's younger coterie of bellies
to enter convent. She is the only child
of distinguished army officer who died a
short time since holding the rank of colonel.
In his day he was considered the hapdsom-
est man in the army and great social fa-
vorite. His widow is wealthy and has re-
Gently purchased and furnished a handsome
house in the fashionable quarter to give the
daughter all the advantages that money can
buy. The latter is 10, accomplished and
handsome. A year ago she was induced to
enter the convent at Georgetown, much to
her mothers dismay. Finally, by threaten
ing to have recourse to the law, the mother
obtained possession of her child, who at the
time declared her preference for the con-
vent, but during the winter she remained
at home and plunged into all the fashion
able dissipation of the capital. 1t seems
for time as if all thoughts Of the convent
had vanished. Lately she has announced
her intention to return to the sisters, but it
was regarded as a freak. A few mornings
since her room was found empty and a note
ON the table saying she had gone back to
the convent, where she now is. Shelsays
that nothing can induce her to give up TAX
ing the veil The case is attracting atten-
ton on account of the wealth and standing
of those concerned, for it is probable that
,steps will be taken to again get her from
the convent.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Gen. John A.
Gleason of New York city, who was ap-
pointed watchman in the treasury, was an
officer in the famous Irish brigade OF the
Third corps during the whole OF the war,
and at the surrender was colonel OF the
Sixty-third New York and major general
by brevet for distinguished gallantry. An
Irishman by birth, his great size, SIX feet
eight inches, made him conspicuous
throughout the army of the Potomac, where
he was known as the big Jack" Since
the war business reverses dissipated
comfortable property, and he recently
came here for employment. lie was
very modest in expectations, asking for
nothing but this appointment of Waterman.
The ghosts of the treasury vaults, which
have made the lives of the Democratic ne
groes, recently appointed, miserable, will
hardly play pranks with the general. Capt.
McCrea, the new captain of the watch OF
the treasury, has issued orders to the
watchmen compelling them to rise and give
a military salute upon the approach OF any
of the department officials above the grade
of chief of the division, including the cap
tain of the watch. This is not Jefersonlan

nation discloses in each hill of corn so

size ranging from one inch and quarter
down to one-eighth of an inch in length. It
appears as though they become completely
distributed over the field and then COM
mence simultaneously to work, and
within very short time the whole
field is devastated. A trip out into the
country disclosed the fact that nearly every
piece of corn was more or less infested
with these pests. The worms from which
these worms are said to have Matched are
supposed to have been deposited by arsmall
yellowish white miller which is seen flying

Grants Cottage and the View.

Special to the Globe.
MT. MCGREGoR, N. Y, June 16.-A
dozen miles to the northward of Saratoga
lies one of the most southern spurs of the
AdirOndacks, known as Mt. McGregor. 1t
is about eleven hundred feet above the sea
and full thousand feet above the sandy
plain that surrounds the village of Saratoga.
This elevated spot was long favorite resort
for tourists who took the mountain
road from Saratoga to Lake George.
Now narrow guage railroad carries
passengers to the summit of the mountain,
the views from the winding road being un-
surpassed in beauty. The summit of the
mountain covers about two hundred square
miles beautifully laid out, and certain it is
that the temperature is lower and the air
more invigorating than that on
the sandy plain that surrounds the
big hotels of Saratoga. Gen. Grants
cottage is but short distance from the
hotel. tits about fifty by thirty feet in
size, with plenty of windows and wide YER
andaS, affOrding a view of the Hudson,
many well-remembered battle grounds of
Revolutionary fame, with the Green noun
tains across the Vermont line as
background. The cottage in
many respects reminds one of
the Garfield farm house at Mentor The
rooms are ample in size and furnished de
luxe. Gen. Grants room looks into the
heart of the dark pine woods facing the
north, and cool, fragrant breezes enter the
room at all times. The kitchen has been
converted into room for the generals body
servant, and meals will be served the family

An UnfaithfuI Wife.

CINcI NNATI, June 16.-On June 6 Mar
tin Edd ins, a laborer living at Hamburg,
this state, was taken sick after eating
lettuce for supper. June II he died in great
agony soon after taking powder prepared
by his wife. Yesterday she was arrested
and last night sent to Eaton Jail without
bail. She confessed last night that she
gave the poison (arsenic) to him at the sug-
gestion of William Rowe, man with
whom she had been intimate for some time.
Rowe is not to be found. She says he
made her promise before he went away to
poison her husband. She maintains, how
ever, that the arsenic did not kill him and
is apparently not much concerned about her
situation.
