NAN IND WIFE.

.. In April last Joseph Corns with h
wife and two little boys, children of Mr.
Corns by n 'ormer husband, Mr. Richard
" came to this city and took rooms with Mr.
Stewart and finally succeeded in startin
themselves in the millinery business in Book
: walter block, No. 81 South Limestone street
. under the name Of Mrs. Emma Corns. 1t an
pears that Mrs. Corns furnished the capital O
/, a large part OF 1t. Mr.. Corns hims self unor
lected his business, and frequently when un
der the influence OF liquor became very jea
Gus OF his wife. Mrs. Corns is a lady OF very
fascinating appearance and eeems to be un.
fortunate in attracting the attention of tn,
men. These things seem TO have worried
Mr.. Corns. and at times he would take his
wife severely to task and the usual quarrel
ensued. Tuesday evening at about o'clock,
'fter long quarrel which attracted the
attention OF the residents of Book
walt r block, Mr.. Corns attacked his wife and
her screams brought quite crowd to the
building. The little boys, frightened by the
danger in which their mother was placed, ran
down the stairway aud into the streets in
search OF policeman. Officers Record and
Bass were found, who arrested Corns and
took him to the station house. A GLoRE-
REPUBLIC man was soon attracted to the spo,
and found Mrs. Corns in her room, who, with
hysterical sobs gave the following story:
She said her husband was given to drink.
and when under the influence was Jealous
and abusive Of her; that she had that after
noon given him some change to buy groceries
tor the family and he had spent the money
TOR drink. He came back and became very
abusive. She was at the time ready to 90 out,
but he ordered her to stay in the room and
get supper, which she readily consented to do.
But this was not enough he accused her
OF flirting with other men took her by the
throat threw her down upon the sofa and
jumped upon her with both hs knees on her
chest. She begged for her lite and screamed
for help. Her screams attracted the attention
OF a crowd that came to the door which she |
had previously locked IN order that the peo- |
pie might no: know of their trouble. He |
then threatened that ii she told any one of
the trouble he would kill her. But the peo
pie came in and she was too much Injured to
keep quiet any longer, and the officers came
and took him away.
Mrs. Corns is considerably bruised about
the head, face and body, and seems to deeply
regret the trouble, saying that she had don.
everything in the world for her present hus-
ha mr. .n1 taL..
again.
DIR. Myers was called and attended Mrs.
Corns and pronounced her not dangerously
injured.
Mr.. Corns was found at the station house
and to all appearance is a gentleman, well
bred and in good circumstances. well dressed,
very much detected and evidently sorry for
his bad conduct. He did not deuy but that
ne sometimes was very rough in the usage OF
his wife. He declared that his great love for
her made him sometimes unreasonably Jealous
Df his wife. He spoke of little flirtations
with men, which he thought she rather
encouraged, and he thought that she ought
% bluff all such advances at once
md stop it. He said he often tried to quit
Thinking, and she always said that he must {
Iult at once, and he could not do it, while he
would answer back that she should quit tlirt.
az, and then the trouble would begin. He !
aid that both she and he had reasonable ex- {
'ecta'ion of plenty Of money after awhile;
hat she had some money of her own which
he had put into their present business but
le imagined that she did not give him proper
redit for the work that he did. He said that ,,
he cause OF the last difficulty was that she
lad given him fifty cents to 60 out and buy
,roceries; that he did so and brought her
'ack the exact change, but she
harged HIM with drinking and spend ,
ng her money; that size wanted to
70 out on the streets, which he forbade :
Ter doing, and when she persisted he may c
lsve used her little rough. 81 can't" says
DR.. Corns, shear to see my wife made the OBJ
ect OF other mems attention. 1t makes me
ealous and angry, but love my wife, and |
ope TO live with her again, rs we will both n
ave enough to live on after awhile" t
II appears that Corns married his wife in I
pposition to his fathers wishes and he was !
ast of; but she had some property of her =
wn which they have sought TO do business :
Nth. They have not succeeded very well in h
and this affair will probably sep. 9
rate them. The little boys were very much o
tfected and seemed almost heart-broken and y
is'racted. They are both very bright little A
SLOWS and are greatly deserving of sympa- n
by. Mrs. Corns has lately sold out the mil Il
merry store and at present they are living in b
Ooms in the Book walter block.
