supported by His Mothers Toll, He HnAxs-
ually Beats and Abuses Her.
Yesterday afternoon the ratrol ua,soa
was called to No. ~ South Factory street
where Frank ROes had been beaang his
mother, Mrs. Kate Ross, in sAa,psfuI
manner. Ross is young man. twenty nine
years old. who calls himself p.inser, but
never does any work. He ssaaasaers
his time in lounging absIt and
drinking, while his mother plies her
neekle night and day almost - keep body
and soul together and at the same time sup
port her worthless and dissoiafe ss0. This
kindness he repays by beating her bgItally
whenever he comes home intoxicated, or
when she refuses to give him the amount of
money he requires. The psksol men c.ught
him and were about to toxic him to the sta
tion house; but not only be but also
his wronged mother pleaded 50 hard
for his liberty, and he guve such abject
promises of better behavior in the future
that Officer Croft released him. The police
had not been gone more than half an hour
before he turned again upon the poor
woman and beat her more violently than be-
fore. NeighbOrs again complained to the
police, and they hunted the town for him
last night without success.

MURRY FAILED.

A Desperate Conspiracy of Prisoners in the
Troy Jail Baked by Murray's Wife.
This morning Sheriff Sherwood. of Troy,
and Detective John I. Norris, passed
through here enroute from Troy to Columbus
with w. NJ. Murray and three other prison.
ers sentenced to the penitentiary. Murray
was sentenced on Wednesday to thirty
one years, and 1t might as well
have been for life, for he will be an old
man when he gets out and will probably be
returned at once on some of the other nu-
merous charges against him.
Murray's young wife went over to Troy to
see him. and when she was in his cell last
evening she discovered that he had
arranged with three other prisoners a
desperate plan Of escape. They had taken
one of the cell doors from its hinges and in
tended to use it to batter down the outer
door. They were to gather in the corridor.
and down the turnkey when he entered, take
his revolver and shoot down the sheriff or
anyone else who might attempt to inter
fere.
His wife could not allow this terrible con-
spiracy to succeed, and when she came out
informed the sheriff of the intent Of the
prisoners. At the appointed time they
congregated in the corridor, but the turn
kew entered unarmed. and the sheriff placed
himself at the entrance with loaded re-
vOlver leveled at Murray's head. Thus
fOiled they were driven back to their cells,
and there secured for the night.
By this action Murray has further shown
the desperate character he displayed when
he robbed the Greenville, Mich, bank of
$4,000 by holding loaded revolver to the
cashiers head, when he compelled Mrs.
Ross, of Troy, to give up her jewelry at the
point of a pistol, and in numerous other
desperate acts.
By baking the conspiracy last night, and
by her ready delivery of the stolen goods
last Saturday night, Mrs. Murray has
cleared herself of any suspicion that might
have otherwise attached to her. There is
no doubt, moreover, that she tells the truth
when she says that she had no suspicion of
his real character when she married him:
and that when she found him out she was
by constant fear and threats to
live with him.

that fully $1,000 bushels of

Last evening Sam. J. Blakeney vas
locked up on charge of drunk and dis
orderly. and carrying concealed weapons.
He is the son of James Blakeney. principal

in the Arcade, which Blakeny has been oc-
casionally working at his trade as ma-
chinist- The two roOmed at No. aOIk West
Main street, but lived very unh.ppily to-
gether. Blakeny was an improvident hus-
band and was in the habit OF coming home
drunk and making life miserable for
his family. Though he never
resorted to personal violence, he
was very abusive in his threats, and occas-
ionally indulgsd in furnitare breaking by
way of variety. Most of his talk was blus
ter. and, though his wife was not frightened.
still it made life 50 miserable for herself and
children that she applied for a divorce,
which was granted September IA, 1885. She
was given the custody of the two children,
and put the boy in the care of her mother,
Mrs. Wi.es, on Chestnut avenue,
while she kept the girl with her.
Ever since that time Blakeney has been
making maudlin attempts to get pases-
sion Of the boy. On Wednesday evening he
came into the millinery store and vowed.
with much noise and bluster. that he would
have him or know the reason why. Yes
terday he went over to Mrs. Wiles, and was
told that he could have possession Of the
child If he would take good care Of il, but
he was not inclined TO take it. Last even
ing about $50 he came into the saDre again
in an intoxicated condition and was esing
to clean out the whole establishment He

this time his noise had attracted a croud
and he skipped out He was pursuadsa
by officers Ward and McKag, who captured
him on Main street near Center and relieved
him of his revolver. He was then locked
up As above stated.

RAIL ROAD ACCIDENTS.

Gas W ellis. Etc.-Some Pertinent Remarks
by"An Observer That Furnish Foed for
Reelection.
To the Editor of the Globe Republic:
Railroad accidents, so called 1--WE say 80

butcheries and not accidents). are becoming
terror in our land Heavy trains dash
through country and city over rotten ties,
frosty rails and trembling bridges A hack
driver would be arrested for running over
man on the street, but railroad engineers
can rush their trains through and kill at
pleasure.
If our city council cannot give this mat
ter attention It might be well enough next
Spring to elect somebody who can. There
is a cause somewhere, and one that promises
no good to the travelling public.
Ii is our opinion that more than half Of
the destruction Of life and property can be
attributed to greediness, carelessness and
recklessness.
