domestic difficulties have separated the fam
lily Of John Nelson, of this city, and the wife
has been residing at the residence of her par
ents, though Mr.. Nelson has continued to
support her. On Sunday Mrs Nelson sent 10
her husband and borrowed his horse and
cutter, with the ostensible purpose of taking
her sister sleighing in the country and on a
visit to her relatives. Instead of this the
other occupant of the sleigh was man
named Brennan, from Erie, and on their re-
turn in the evening Mr.. Nelson, hearing of
this, awaited their coming. As they neared
the city limits Nelson pounced upon his
wife's companion and pounded Him unmer-
cifully, cutting his face in horrible manner,
leaving Brennan in an insensible condition
by the roadside. brennan finally succeeded
in dragging himself to the city, where he re-
celved medical attendance, and to-day OBJ
